My main purpose of business here: watching concerts in the basement. Never really ate here much, when I have it's been the nacho's (which are top notch I must say) and I've heard great things about their other food options.
The location for this place is a little on the iffy side. It's great because it's right on the LRT line. It sucks cuz on one side is the LRT, the other is Stephen Ave ie: you have to park quite far away if you're driving, which my group of friends always does.
One of my other fave parts about this place is the crowd. At some places you go to a metal concert and you get true metal heads hanging out who windmill to their hearts delight and enjoy a good mosh pit. Here? Well lets look at my last experience: It's a hard rock/metal concert and there's a bunch of girls wearing t-shirts as dresses who are dry humping and seem to think their listening to LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem because they sure love their shufflin'.
Anyways... that's beside the point. Good grub, cool venue and yet shit ass service. I've known people to get attitude from the bartender, and recently I went to get a refill on my pop, I ask the bartender if it's free because I don't know if they charge for refills and he says "For the most part" and walks away. Took me a while to figure out what that meant but I think he was expecting a tip for me taking my glass full of ice over and asking him to push a button until my coke reached the brim. Am I just a cheap ass bitch or is he just a poor bum. Sorry man, I work retail, I get it that you deal with drunks, but my job ain't pretty either and I don't get any tips for it, plus you got a pretty decent tip when my sis-in-law bought the pop to begin with.
Other downsides to this place: Dirty bathrooms with poor lighting leaving you in a creepy dark bathroom stall. It's not really kept clean in regards to cup and such during a show unless the patrons take their empty drinks to the bar (so watch your step people). And the staircases are fairly uneven pieces of wood so be careful if your particularly clumsy.
