| - This is a really odd place. From the outside it looks like an abandoned laundromat, except that there are all of these people hanging around and it's 1 am. When I say all of these people, I mean the most eclectic group of people you have ever seen. For example, when I was there a dude was wearing leopard skin pants, a cheetah skin jacket and a Daniel Boone hat.
The first room you walk into looks kind of like a Legion, except they are selling good beer rather than Labatt Blue. In the back there is a spot for live music, it's kind of like the Horseshoe, but smaller and weirder.
The night I was there the "headliner" was a bunch of middle aged men playing covers, like Rave On (you may remember this tune from the Cocktail soundtrack), but in a Ramones style. Cheetah man was loving it, but it wasn't really my thing.
The entire time I was there all I could think was, "Man, Toronto is crazy. Apparently there is a place where people have been watching middle aged men play punk covers and wearing a full jungle cat outfit accented with a coonskin hat is sort of normal."
I would recommend The Garrison for the experience if nothing else.
