This a favorite spot of many of my friends, but I just can't make my mind up about it. Sometimes it's great, sometimes not so much.
PROS:
Cheap drinks! Friday is $3 JD, Saturday $3 Tequila. Other bar rail is still under five bucks though.
Good for big groups. I think the best times I've had there are at parties. Lots of comfy couches down in the basement. Easy to spread out and socialize.
Access to futures next door!
CONS:
Brunny-type UofT students.
Music can be WAY too loud, especially when there's no space for dancing. Not at all conducive to casual chatting.
