rev:text	I've never had a chance to go to the Garrison because I'm simply not interested in any of the shows or events that happen here. There have been some shows I wanted to check out but was busy, so I don't want to come off as a total music snob, but this place does seem to lean towards the indie-rock vibe, which is not my bag. Anyway, some friends were having a CD release show here recently and I was looking forward to finally checking out this venue. I've walked by it many times and looked inside and have seen the front area, but never the actual stage in the back. The outside is very bland and basically looks like every other generic building on Dundas West -- I'm not even sure there's any signage to be honest. If you walked by on a slow night and a bunch of hipsters weren't smoking outside then you probably wouldn't even know it's a bar, let alone a concert venue. The back is pretty basic as well. It was dark so you can't really see much, but there seemed to be a ton of exposed wiring and random pieces of wood on the left side. The right side had high benches that make you feel like a little kid when sitting on, and are very useful for shorter people to see a show comfortably. The bar in the back is physically quite small, so I can't imagine how difficult it would be to get a drink if there were a dozen people trying to do the same. The sound was decent. It didn't blow me away or anything, but it certainly didn't sound bad. The stage itself has little character with no branding at the back like most spaces. It appeared to be a good three feet off the ground so another good quality for the vertically-challenged. The washrooms are single rooms and there seemed to be a few of them, but they're really small. I was a little drunk, but found it awkward getting out because your legs get sandwiched between the door and toilet bowl. Overall the Garrison is a decent venue, but was disappointed that it lacked any character. It obviously has a reputation as a place to see quality shows, but right now it just seems to be a giant room with a stage and some bottles at the back. At the moment with its thrown-together half-assed decor it visually reminds me of one of my least-favourite venues in the city: El Mocambo.
