My first foray into the Great Hall was for Canzine 2010 and I was immediately taken at the grandeur and feel of this charming venue. Your ascent up the entry staircase rewards you with a well-lit and airy event space decked out in Old Wood and natural light. It's not often that you see theatres with huge windows. The main hall seems to be about 2,500 square feet, with a stage at one end and a ring of balcony seating above. Just adjacent to the event space is the Conversation Room, which is much cosier and also has huge windows to let in a lot of light.
I thought it was a pretty solid venue for Canzine, though I empathize with exhibitors who would have wanted more space. I'd love to see a concert or play here someday. For charm and character, this is definitely a top venue in the city, and in a cool neighbourhood too.
Obligatory Title Pun: It's GRRRRRRRRREAT!
Menu Readability: Nope.
Need to mention: They are affiliated with the Crème Tangerine café next door.
What this place teaches me about myself: I'm actually over Frosted Flakes. They're so 1988.
