| - Stopped in here on a Saturday night when I was in Montreal because we were tired from walking St Laurent. At around 9:30 it had maybe 15 people in the whole place, but it started filling up because the Cockroaches were playing! We had no idea who they were but stayed around for a couple of drinks.
Turns out someone in the band was having a wedding party at the place? They had gotten married a couple months ago and this was a sort of post-marriage celebration.
After some dude got on stage to introduce the bride and groom, we proceeded to find out that the opening band, and the main band, were Rockabilly bands (should have known from the double bass, the banjo, and the mandolin)
Anyway, we stayed and had a couple of beers and then headed out in the middle of the set. The place had maybe 10 beers on tap from what I can remember, and had a long, narrow layout with the stage in the back, the bar in the middle, and the majority of the tables in the front. Super nice bartender and a predominantly english-speaking crowd (maybe because of the wedding party? or maybe the rockabilly), it ended up being a cool way to spend an hour or hour and a half
3 stars for a nice setting and loud music
Revisit? Sure
