I could not be more thankful for the staff at the lower deck. While shooting an event, my bag was stolen and not only did the event coordinator help me sort things out on the camera, but Mike the bouncer actually FOUND my backpack AND all of my gear (minus bank cards) in a nearby lot!! I could not be more grateful for the AMAZING staff who not only kept me calm, but no joke, FOUND ALL OF MY GEAR AND SAVED THE DAY!!! Mike, Steph, and Laura seriously deserve an award for how above and beyond they went last night. 10/10, thank you does not say enough

Such a terrific live / local Atlantic Canadian music pub! Talented musicians, terrific wait staff, and all reasonably-priced.

This is a true "pub-style" bar with long tables and benches.

Friendly and fun. What more can you ask for?

Felt like a student again! Great music Sunday night, and fun party atmosphere.

Main complaint was the entrance. this might make more sense if they're busier but we entered the main door on the ground floor, were sent back outside and told to go to a back door, climbed 3 flights of stairs, then went through security / paid cover only to go back down all 3 flights of stairs, every floor other than the ground floor was basically empty, finally we went in through the main door we started at. Helped me get my steps in I guess

Cover charge $9 for a couple of guys that were just ok. If you want traditional east coast music this is not the place. My husband ordered a Guinness and brought it to the table with the can already open, it was flat as can be and the glass couldn’t even hold the can.! They had homemade wine, red or white! Couldn’t even ask what other beers they had as nobody to serve or find. There’s a problem if you can’t serve a can of Guinness properly. Didn’t plan on getting pissed but I am in a different way. Very disappointing

Very beautifully designed rooms in the style of a large old sailing ship. Often in the evening with live music.

I have been standing in line for 3 hours. The line has not moved. This is ridiculous.

I would give it 0 stars if I could. The bathroom smells like your in a sewer, the food is trash and they kick you out for being sober. Definitely never going back again, not that it’s a loss at all with all of the great places around the area.

Nice building and location. Live music was very good too. However, the food is really bad. The batter on the fish is thicker than the actual fish. The chicken strips were way overcooked, so they were burned and dry as hell. Alcohol selection is very poor - they don’t sell things that you’d expect a normal bar to sell, such as gin and rum. Beer is very expensive considering they are small glasses, particularly when you’ve already paid a cover charge to get in. I wouldn’t go back.
