I've been coming to this place on and off for many years - a lot of Wednesday nights dancing to blue grass and drinking cheap tap bear. They usually have a 3 dollar cover, a dance floor, and a big back patio.
However
I came here for an NXNE show last June and was not at all pleased. The show was great, it was a bad experience at the bar... I walked in and immediately ordered a tall can of Canadian and a shot of Jamison. The bar tender brought me the bill which was like $12 something. I paid with a 50 dollar bill and she brought back 32 dollars instead of 37. So basically she tried to tip herself 5 dollars on a 12 dollar tab.
I asked her back and was very nice about it.. she told me I was wrong and walked away. I called her back again and she pulled the same routine. Finally, the third time! She goes into the till, takes out 5 loonies and slams them on the bar and stalks off... like I was trying to rip her off!!!!!
Other then that experience, it is a great music venue and the Countney Barnett show I saw that night made up for the infuriating bartender.
