| - We came here to celebrate a good friend's birthday. What we didn't know is that on hockey night, the place becomes a dive-bar. The volume of the tv was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves speaking over the announcer. When we asked the waitress to turn down the volume, they actually turned it up to the point where we felt nauseous and couldn't eat.
The food was o.k. but overhyped. The macaroni and cheese is nothing more than pasta spirals with velveeta. The addition of smoked meat is nice, but it's the cheap stuff you would get in a spaghetti from Nickels, flavourless and greasy. The burger menu is impressive, and the burger itself isn't half bad. The best one at our table was the Goldorak with spicy hamburger meat, fried onions and cheese. I was adventurous and got the "Elvis Gratton" with peanut butter, banana and bacon. The drinks weren't half bad, though their mason jar drinks feel like a bad knockoff of Distillerie. Trendy and fun drinks but with lots of soda and little alcohol (for 15 dollars, a little bit disappointing).
I would have given this place two-three stars on food alone, though in my opinion it only merits one star owing to the awful service, their blatant disregard for customers and the horribly loud music + sports. If you want a place to go eat, don't go here. If you want a loud sports bar with overpriced drinks and average food, this might be worthwhile.
