| - I checked out this place on Friday night and I gotta say, overall, it was a good time. Here are the Coles Notes for your reading pleasure:
The Good:
- Located right downtown Calgary
- Tons of street parking around
- Attached to District - so you can decide if you want to do the dinner thang or the pub thang
- Starts out as a pub, turns into a dance club
- Serve a mean poutine and they let you customize it to your palate
- Staff is friendly, fun and approachable (the gentlemen that work here took care of grabbing enough chairs and tables for our party throughout the night)
- On-site DJ spins tracks once the pub transforms into a club
- Great music! They played old-skool tracks all night long!
The Bad:
- What's with the crowd here? I felt like the oldest person here and I'm *not* old. Seriously - it felt like Spring Fling or After Grad... I swear the crowd was between 15-17 yrs of age.
- The DJ was spinning great tracks, but within an hour and a half, he was already repeating songs! Come on man! They came out with more tracks in the 80s and 90s than just the 12 you already played!
- The place got packed very quickly. We went from being the only ones on the dance floor, to being surrounded and crowded by the pre-teen crowd
- The washrooms are all the way at the front, and down the stairs. It made me feel like I was going into the basement to pee. Dingy and creepy - not cool!
Overall, a cool place to meet up with folk for drinks and a great place to START the night off dancing. But be forewarned, once all the KIDS pile into this place, it'll be due time to get your groove on elsewhere.
