| - Wound up here pretty late on a Thursday night for the first time. It is a really cool little space! I was so pleasantly surprised!
I love all of the little nooks and spaces! Nice little patio, the bathroom was clean, the server was friendly, the DJ was decent, and there is lots of parking right there!
As I came by here after an after party, I needed no further booze and something to eat on the quick. I ordered a Pepsi and a poutine. The poutine was okay. Decent size, not even close to authentic, but good to absorb the alcohol in my stomach. Had I been completely sober, I probably would have been disappointed. Now as for the pop...
Herein lies one of my big pet peeves with bar and restaurant staff that use a soda gun. First of all, the Pepsi was $2.50 for a standard size glass. Fine. After I was finished my poutine, nearly done my Pepsi, and my friend was about 2/3 done his beer the waitress took the empty plate and asked if I wanted "a refill" on my pop. I looked at the glass thinking we'd be leaving soon but figured while she's there and asking I might as well so said, "sure, why not". When the bill came I was charged for two Pepsis. Now aside from the fact that that is just plain cheap - considering the actual cost of the drink is about 5-cents - it's rather irritating. I would not have accepted the offer of "a refill" had I been aware that I would be charged. Generally, if I say I would like "another one" I expect to pay. If it's "a refill", the assumption is that they are refilling the glass that I already paid for. Whatever. Now I know. And you do too. Don't accept a "refill" from a waitress here unless you want it to go on the tab.
