when we first went to Montreal two years ago, we were thinking of going in here for their New Year's Eve. buuuuut...$20 cover charge my ass, so we trudged on and found a place with no cover and $10 pitchers. oh well...
however, on the return tour, we swung by and had a good time.
it definitely is a renovated house, cause this place is HUGE! several floors, a lot of space, even a back patio drinking area! nothing like outdoor drinking with good music playing - Rob Zombie, Stone Temple Pilots, Iron Maiden, and more.
decent selection of beers, and they were inexpensive. definitely reminded me of a frat house so far as layout, with the atmosphere of a dive bar.
random sampling of the crowd included
- three guys who are apparently in a band called "Shit N Dales". they were dressed as the Blue, Green, and Pink Rangers from "Power Rangers".
- they were sitting with a girl who kept yelling out the C-word
- there was also a crew of tattooed and pierced punks
overall, not a great spot, but an electronic jukebox, friendly bartenders, several pool tables, and a young, college-age crowd make this a decent place to either start the night or wind it down.
can you dig it?
