| - I suppose, you, the reader of this will have to confirm or deny for youself the truth about Ironwood.
People on here are saying things like "its cheap booze" and "been loving it for years" and " the sound was perfect" etc..
Well.... in my "opinion" then, The Ironwood is expensive. $12 cover and $6+ beers. I guess its cheap if youre a lawyer hahah.
The Ironwood has only been there for a couple years, max. Sorry dude, you didnt haunt it when you were in college ok because it wasnt there. It was still the old runned down garry theatre up until recently.
I found the service to be average. The music, while subjective, I thought wasnt any good at all. We paid this cover charge to see a BAND, and it was just 3 guys with like a banjo, and 2 acoustic guitars. It went on and on and on. I periodically check to see whos playing at the Ironwood, and its ALWAYS an unremarkable no-name "blue-grass fusion" group, or a folk trio from saskatoon, with alleged lyrics and esoteric meanings that are so intense you MUST be sophisticated if you are a fan. LOL whata joke.
Its a shame really, that the Ironwood is so aweful. Its in a neat historic building, the stage is located well, and the bar and seating all make sense and are laid out well. Also its on the fringe of downtown.
Whatever image or genre they are trying to appeal to is not working, for this reviewer at least.
