| - I remember talking to a friend one day about the pluses and minuses of being older and more mature in regards to choosing who I have intimate relationships with. "The good news is, I'm making wiser choices and so no longer getting myself into trouble." I said. "The bad news is...I'm making wiser choices and no longer getting myself into trouble."
The small Dundas St. W. bar called Unlovable (no doubt basking in reverse psychological glory) is the kinda place you want to drink yourself silly, chat up that cutie who keeps knocking into you because the bar is packed chest to back, slur your way through the lyrics of every 80's track the DJ plays, end up making out with said cutie whilst lining up to use the bathroom, eventually stumbling out of the place looking for a cab asking your new found love "Your place or mine?" The aftermath is to eventually wake up the next morning in a strange bed that smells of potpourri as some unrecognizable furry house cat lies on your chest staring down at you quizzically and some barely recognizable person pops out of the washroom with a toothbrush in hand saying "You still in bed sleepy head?" As you wince and massage your hangover induced headache you can't help but reflect upon the fun you had at Unlovable and that if you somehow manage to survive you'd happily go back to the establishment again.
For the facts Unlovable is a small downstairs bar with reasonably priced drinks, a 20 something unpretentious, rather attractive, friendly customer base (at least the night I went there), with a too cool for school pinball machine and Pac Man table top video game. It tends to be over capacity which is either a good thing or bad thing depending upon your mood. Seriously, so crowded one could loose their virginity trying to make their way to the bar. Music on the night I went hovered around 80's and 90's top 40. Expect sing-a-longs and a possible mosh pit to break out. The washrooms unfortunately seem more conducive to a small restaurant than a bar. Ladies, if you plan to go here for drinks I hope you have strong bladders.
All in all an enjoyable place to have a few beers. I plan to return soon.
