| - Five of us went for some food and drinks this past Friday night. The food was sub-par at best. There are so many better restaurants in the neighbourhood so you're better off to check those out first. The service was pretty horrible. Our waitress was pretty much non existent, and the odd time that she did appear made us feel like we were a complete inconvenience to her. (the place was still relatively empty, for the record). We would wait 20 minutes for a drink. It became that kind of experience where you order 3 drinks at once because you know you'll be through them before she decides to pass by again.
However, sub-par food and lousy service aside, the focus of this review is really on the drinks. Between 5 of us (women) - all of which are pretty light drinkers - we drank 37 drinks over the course of just under 3 hours.
That's 30 vodkas, 5 gins, and 2 of their General Lees. And not a single one of us was drunk. In fact, when I left, I spoke with a couple of police officers down the street and asked them to check my alcohol level. Guess what? Nothing. Nada. I drank 7 drinks and had 0% alcohol registering. Our bill was $375 of which $245 was alcohol.
So here's my recommendation - avoid this place at all cost. It's pretty clear they are watering down their alcohol. So, don't walk - run. If you're after drinks - cross the street for The Comrade, or walk 30 seconds east to Hi-Lo. If you're after food, you're better off digging through the garbage can out front...scraping gum off the bottom of your shoe, or hell - eat your hand. Just don't bother wasting any time in this dump.
