I have to say, I use to go to the Casa a lot when I was studying at Concordia University and I went there last Tuesday to see a show by local bands IN DAYS OF YORE (www.idoy.ca) and David Woll (http://davidwoll.ca/)
I was pretty impressed with the design of the building. The interior design of the show room is vintage and visually appealing. The Casa is locatied in the Mile-End just streets away from the Plateau and the terrasse is super natural with vegetation and trees inside!
I highly recommand the food as well. The sandwiches are tasty, filling and nutritious! Great combo! And to top it all, the prices (food, shows) are way affordable for all sorts of budgets (students, young professionnals, etc.)
