  • Well this place certainly monopolizes as it's the only 'good' thing to go to within the 'downtown' Mississauga core. (ahem, if you're looking to do be an entrepreneur, think lounge/club in Mississauga). Luckily they have been the only successfully thing at the corner of Essex for a long time...so they are obviously doing something right. I've been to &CO plenty of times before but I've never had a burning desire to be a repeat offender. I think those desires are good to have, that's how regulars keep coming back ;). I've enjoyed their long weekend bashes that they host on Sundays. I've attended many of those and the music, crowd and vibe are always exceptional. Wednesdays are great due to their Latin nights but they accumulate one hell of a crowd. It could be that also anytime I go on a Wednesday a long weekend is approaching, so perhaps that is why there are always so many people. My issue with &CO is everything that happens outside (even before getting into the venue). Aside from that, nothing to worry about. Great music, spacious, a variety of areas to dance in and good drinks. The upstairs is the only crowded part but it's a small space with a lot of people who enjoy the same music- so it's expected. First things first, I appreciate people who have passion for their jobs but the bouncer outside needs to take it down a couple of notches. No need to be insulting (not to me personally but I heard how he was speaking to certain people in the line) in order to get your point across. Mama always said be nice. Plus if it wasn't for all these people in "line" that you keep telling to go home and dictate rules like we are 12, then, you sir would have no job. I remember he also mentioned "next time get here earlier folks"..to people who came in late. We were in line at 10:30, how early do you want people to come? Some people have 9-5s (or later) and would like to shower and be presentable for your establishment. This guy thinks we are going to be buying tents at Walmart to pitch outside of &CO - CHILL. The man at the front with a very nice haircut and tailored suit who initially "opens the ropes to the heavens "and perhaps will glance at your I.D, really needs to figure out some time managing skills. I understand you want to let bottle service in first (understandably these folks clearly have money to spend on weeknights). I also understand that Jane may know Joe that works at the bar and Larry knows the dishwasher, but for fuck sakes pay attention to the regular folks in line as well. We also have money to spend and an ass to shake. It's unfortunate that it's "who you know" type of industry. I know me...now let me in. Funny enough, I'm a blogger and going to be doing reviews on establishments soon, so never under estimate us "regular" folks in the lineup. We also have a voice within our communities as well. Anyways, back to the man with a nice haircut and tailored suit. I think letting the "left" line up in every 15-20 minutes in small groups ISN'T a bad idea. Not only does it become annoying being at the front and seeing all these "cool folks" get in a head of you, it's annoying that nobody is checking their I.Ds (when, they clearly look underage) or that nobody is turning them away. I don't understand how you want to keep an image/standard yet you are letting ADULT GROWN men in the club with their boxers showing (Lord, this isn't Club 108 Platinum Parties from the 2000s). Who cares who they know or if they took 2 minutes to fill out a guest list, send them home. Finally, we are in and we obviously rush to the washroom to pee and we barely even got a dose of Latin night. Perhaps 30 minutes MAX but if you are going to keep your guests waiting outside, stretch the Latin portion of the night so we get a chance to participate in ALLL THE EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!! Overall, I don't have much of a problem with the music. Obviously you are there because you enjoy Latin music, top 40 or hip/hop dancehall. I wish there was more structure upstairs to get to the patio. It seems that you have to slither your way through and rub tits with everyone along the way only to get a breath of fresh air on the patio. At that point everyone is thinking you want to take them home with you and you've lost your wolf pack. The rooftop- is the best part of &CO in my opinion. Love the fact that they have seating, heaters and that it is spacious. Great view of the city, I quite enjoy it! I will for sure give them another shot on a Wednesday because I'm all about second chances ;). This time I will arrive early and see what rampage our amigos are on that day. I'll certainly provide an updated review and I am hoping one day to try the food, because, apparently they serve it there!
