| - This place has received a much needed make over. I used to visit this place when it was still called Myth. Myth was horrible, but 417 has just turned this place right around. While Myth was a poor excuse for a lounge, 417 is just the bomb dot com.
I was here on Sunday night which has now become Sundaay @ 417 (every other Sunday). They play hip hop, reggae, and R&B (most of it is old school, which I love).
When I walked up to the bar, I expected to order my standard SoCo lime because I didn't really have high expectations for their brew selection, but I was shocked to find 22 different brews from LOCAL micro breweries. FOR REAL?! For real. I came across Great Lakes about a month back and fell in love with their orange peel ale, so I was very happy to find it on tap. The only thing that I did have against this place was the bartender. I watched her pour my beer from the tap, and it seemed like she couldn't pour to save her life. If you're going to feature 22 different local micro-breweries, at least have the personnel that can speak to these brews and actually be able to pour them. The head on my glass was huge and she had some weird technique to pouring that definitely did not seem right.
I haven't tried the food, but I've heard great things, so it might be my next dinner spot as well. Anyways, if you're on the Danforth and you're looking for a great selection on tap- this is your place.
