| - Not since when I was 14 years old I've been locked out of my house.
I've forgotten the keys and had to wait until my sister got home. The heat was unbearable so I had to find foliage. I had a choice between McDonald's and Seneca Pub, I really wanted a milk shake, however curiosity drove me through the large aluminium doors. I descend down a flight of cornering stairs to the main floor, I immediately realise that this venue has not renovated from the business proceeded it.
One elevated leather sofa area, about three booth tables and three small high-rise tables behind the main dance floor. A huge projection screen showing sports, a couple chairs in front of a neon-lit bar--and that it.
The place doesn't have much to offer at all in terms of food, and even alcohol. The basics are there, but clearly the venue is in it's infancy stages of becoming a local business. Maybe like, research & development. It is shabby and there's nothing here to do. So it is completely perplexing that I found Seneca Pub to be a very pleasant place throw back a beer. I came here alone and stayed for less than forty minutes, had one beer at the bar, watched soccer with the 6-7 peoples who were here, and occasionally talked to the owner. It was the most relaxing time I've had at a bar this year! I don't know what happened.
The owner was a nice guy who is pleasant to talk to, and gave me peanuts. The last time I was offered free peanuts at a bar was my previous visit to the rooftop bar at the Park Hyatt. These two venues are worlds apart.
The menu consisted of some fries & chips, simple. Sports food! I wouldn't harp on them for this because I can't imagine anyone wanting to come here for a feast, not yet anyway. The place needs a serious face lift. These are all reasons I should find it to hate Seneca Pub, but I just don't.
Perhaps it's more of my primitive side which aroused my fondness for simplistic & kitsch establishments which holds neighbourly accents, but this place I can actually find myself coming again (in a t-shirt & cargo pants or something).
They have free salsa classes on Wednesdays, and according to the website the dance instructor is....boomchickbowowww..!
A LOT of potential if given the necessary aesthetics & proper promotion. Welcoming in a humble way. Very humble way..DJ on Fridays.
Yeah...salsa
