| - Despite the ridiculously tacky description of this restaurant (Hyper bar? What the heck is that?), this place is a nice hangout that serves up some great specials and decent meals, all with great service.
The bar is a cross between sports bar, lounge, and resto-bar, and has some fancy light action going on. The walls are nicely adorned with wood and antlers. There's even a moose head mounted to one of the walls. What's nice is that there are screens located all over this bar, so sitting anywhere will give you a good view of the game.
The crowd is a bit of a mish-mash as well. My friend and I came early, and we found the bar filled with an older clientele. As the night progressed, younger people (both south shore douches/douchettes and regular clients alike) filled the room. It wasn't as homogenous a group as I was afraid of encountering (remember, Fuzzy's dive bar is next door, and that place is notorious around here for catering to a... how do I put it... less refined clientele). All in all, not bad, but you will encounter the typical douchebag here and douchette.
As for music, this place is eclectic. Being a fan of 90s tunes, this place delivers on that front, playing tunes from Our Lady Peace's "Clumsy" and even Missy Elliott's "Supadupa Fly" (the music videos also play on some of the monitors, which adds to the ambiance for us 90s kids). There's also recent stuff from Jay-Z and other artists I'm not particularly fond of, but the songs are catchy. This place even turns into a karaoke bar on Wednesday nights, and Friday nights, one of my favourite Montreal bands, Soulvation, comes to play here (I'll be back again to see them here on Friday).
Definitely check out the specials. Monday's night is "boy's night" where men get some kind of all-you-can eat special (check out their online menu for events and details). Tuesday is lady's night, which means dinner is free for ladies with a reservation. The only catch is that you must order a minimum of 2 (2 for 1) drinks with your meal (otherwise, you pay 7$ total, which is still cheap). My bill came out to a cool 12$ for 3 drinks and I got a really decent meal!
I ordered the brie burger, which was okay. The burger was a little too overdone for my liking and the pickles were not the most harmonious companion to brie cheese. My friend favored better, as she ordered the very delicious chicken pizza. The burger came with a side of mouthwateringly good fries, and the pizza came with a nice salad (albeit dressed a little too enthusiastically). The sangria was quite tasty, and although it might have been a little watered down, you can't complain with such a great deal!
