Popped in on a Saturday night after a friend wanted to go somewhere with a blues band playing. Did not try the food, but the service was pretty good, the absinthe service was amazing (though pricey, be warned), the venue was small (long, narrow bar) but intimate rather than cramped feeling. The basement bathrooms are some of the nicest I've been in (lonely planet should do a guide to the basement bathrooms of TO sometime). We arrived around 10pm to a half-full bar, had our drinks, listened to some music, and departed just before midnight, when there was a line snaking out the door.
