  • I have to say that 80s & 90s nostalgia is not totally my jam. I am not against it, but I lived through it once already and so... but that being said, I love this place. The first time we came here we were walking back to the hood from city center when we spotted it from across the street. We had seen it before but by day it looked a shuttered video store. At night, there were lights and people smoking outside. So we dropped in for a beer. There was a sign mentioning that a band was going to play but we assumed we would be gone before that happened. We took a seat in the center of the room, kind of in front of where the band might play. We had a beer and enjoyed the projection of Mad Max on vintage low-res VHS, then the movie changed and it was Who Framed Roger Rabbit, then the VHS crapped out, and the bartender started streaming The Karate Kid from a laptop, which also crapped out. Nice to know both systems have their flaws. By this time the bearded hipsters of the aforementioned band had ambled in and were chit-chatting with what I assume (and was later confirmed) were their groupies (supportive friends in contemporary parlance). The idea of getting caught listening to a Monday night bar band wasn't our idea of fun, so I headed to the washroom for a quick one and we were to be on our way. But by the time I got back they had, ninja like, taken the stage and were starting the show - with crowd work no less. And we were singled out and welcomed as the only people there other than their friends. So we were trapped at least until mid-first song, but we were front and center so any exit at this point was going to be uncomfortable. But the band - ill Evans - was fantastic! A real surprise. We even had another beer. And they play pretty much ever Monday night, and we have been back, and have drug others along, and will be back again. https://www.facebook.com/illEvans/ PS: We have noticed that Monday night is a great night to go out in Toronto. What with Ill Evans at Dundas Video and album night at The Communist's Daughter it is hard not to go out on the town.
