| - Perhaps I'm a little biased in my opinion on this place because I feel as though I've never been here during a 'drama-free' night. But then I reminisce about the few times I've been to this overly crowded, elitist-induced, dirty, yet somewhat... comforting or familiar bar, and I realize that, no, that is not the case. I have been to this bar during careless stress-free nights, without any foreboding in regards to antics that might ensue or specific people I may have to avoid. Maybe, I've just convinced myself that it is these antics that have soiled the bar's image in my mind for me. But then again, no, this bar has soiled itself.
Yeah, so you can get pitchers of mixed drinks like whiskey sours, or screw drivers. But it is clear that they only provide you with a few ounces of booze, combined with a bucket-full of ice cubes, all in your little pitcher! And the washrooms? What happened there??
But, it is not all bad. There is a heated patio in the back which is pretty cool, especially when it is chilly out but you'd still like to enjoy the benefits of being outside whilst consuming alcohol. Plus, if you go during the week at night, it is not half as disgustingly crowded as it is on the weekend.
I just wish that the employees here were a little more kind, or pleasant, or even neutral. I do recall receiving service from one or two nice employees. I also wish that I was not bombarded by eerie, rude, leering, strange, etc., looks (which can lead to awkward, forced conversations during which the whole time I'm thinking, "Get me outta here!!"), when walking into or through this bar. It's a little unsettling, especially when you're a taaaad intoxicated, as I usually am, upon entering this vicinity.
And yet, I'll probably still go back here again in the future.
And I really enjoy that heated patio, especially when I am tempted to go outside by friends, etc., and it is freezing out. So there you go heated patio, two stars. There you go.
