I have been to this venue a few times now and I always enjoy it. It's well located: it's nice to break out of the downtown/Plateau areas, it's nearby to Lionel-Groulx metro so convenient for both green line and orange people, and there's lots of onstreet parking to be found for drivers. The venue itself is quite beautiful, with lots of architectural details. It's a little bit too bad that there are virgin mobile signs sprinkled throughout the venue, but they are not overly intrusive so if that's what it takes to keep such a beautiful space open, it's an ok compromise. I also love the layout, with the huge bar sweeping across the back of the space, the gradually sloping front section, and the very comfortable balcony. The venue can fit lots and lots of people, but still maintain good sight lines and decent sound, without feeling overly crowded.
