  • This venue has absolutely no redeeming qualities (except maybe that it's close to poutinis). I went here recently for the 10th anniversary of Paper Bag Records in which they had 5 bands playing on the night; it was my 2nd trip to this venue. Aesthetically the venue is nothing special; the first level is standing room only with a U-shaped balcony hovering above. The balcony is quite imposing and makes the venue seem smaller than it actually is; the stage itself is quite small. The first floor feels very narrow and claustrophobic, I have been up to the balcony on my previous visit and the feeling up there is much more open. Because the balcony overhangs the first level by quite a bit, the sightlines can be atrocious. Basically if you are stuck under the balcony you will most definitely have an obstructed view, so you better get front and center if you want any chance of seeing a thing (or head to the balcony, if its not for VIP's only, I believe this policy differs from show to show). The sound is about as lacklustre as the environment. The acoustics are bad, the sound is muffled and if a band is playing electric guitar your ears may start bleeding, luckily the headliner on this evening (the Rural Alberta Advantage) had enough stage presence to overcome the sound quality. In addition the drinks are overpriced, and the beer selection is poor ($7 for a bottle of steamwhistle? What is this a jays game?!). The reason this venue gains a 2 star rating is twofold: first off both times I have been the crowds were really good (this particular time the crowd was quite energetic, it salvaged the show), second is that they run special music events (first time I went was a benefit concert, second time was for Paper Bag Record's celebration of their 10th anniversary), so doing more than your basic concerts definitely merits a star. Overall I would not be happy if a band I really liked decided to play this venue.
