| - I've only been to the Green Room once, but based on first impressions only, I'd say I had a good time and enjoyed the bar quite a bit... First, the story:
In the dead of winter, on a very dark and cold night I was searching for a place to meet some friends...Lighting was sparse, directions were non existent and all I knew was that where I was going was in the back of the buildings of Bathurst and Bloor....Vague; slightly, but I was keen to the adventure...
After a few minutes of displacement, I finally found the sign for Green Room. (For those who have never been before, enter off the alley from Brunswick Avenue and keep your eyes peeled!)
It's nice to see that some gems are still hidden and worth searching for. Green Room is a large, yet cozy pub with two floors of dimly lit ambiance and a decent, eclectic mix of music.
I did notice that the crowd was fairly young (yet as I write this I realize how utterly relative that statement is...). By young, I mean university students there for group drinking sessions and cheap food. Word to the wise; the food was sub par, at best. I ordered nachos and I'm pretty sure my amateur chip and salsa mix would've fared just as well.
I liked Green Room in that the drinks were cheap and plentiful and I was able to order an entire pitcher of sangria for $5! The atmosphere there is very casual, come-as-you-are, and cozy; like drinking in your own dingy basement!
