I have never been here for club-y kind of reasons, but I have seen more than a few excellent shows here. Though I have had a couple unpleasant moments brought on by their stringent age-limit policies.
The time where my underage friend tried to pass herself off as her older sister might not have been the most foolproof plan, but seriously, it was a Rufus Wainwright concert, were we going there to get totally wasted? (Don't answer that). We also couldn't even *give* our extra (thanks to them) ticket away once we sent her packing, which was frustrating and demoralizing. Ha.
But the worst: when I *was* of age, and didn't realize I needed to prove it to enter the PJ Harvey concert. I was forced to take transit back to my apartment to get my id (which is *not* close) and back again. The bouncer actually was like "you'll probably make it back in time". We did, literally within seconds of her hitting the stage and it was effing phenomenal. But seriously?? Jerks. They only get a three because I like the venue, otherwise. It's nice and intimate. It also has a photo of Fiona Apple from the *only* Toronto show she ever did when I was *say it with me*-- "too young to go"! It breaks my heart every time I see it.
