If you can get your head around the mild level of pretentiousness, this is a pretty nice bar.
Rising from the ashes of what was once Main Street, Big in Japan has given new life to that old red door on St. Laurent Boulevard.
Once you get inside you're greeted by 1000 Candles. The decor is very nouveau trendy. The whole place is a giant bar. It slightly resembles Pullman in the layouts of the bar and bartenders area. It's very easy to strike up a conversation with the people around you.
I went on a casual Tuesday evening. I would recommend it myself. Yet I have no idea what to expect on a Friday or Saturday. It certainly has the potential to be a madhouse in there.
