Excellent no nonsense staff. Been coming here for the last four and a half years. Cheers All

Staff were friendly but the establishment sucked. Not accessible, dingy, stairs were terrible and the sound equipment was bad also

The food here is so so good. Often stop in just for a taco

On March 30, 2025. I had a invite to the 90's Drag Show. The Show and Atomsphere wasn't that inviting. Very Unorganized, Performer was drunk, Dj equipment and Dj had no clue of what they were doing w the equipment. Not accessible for disabled people( had to go through the basement to get in, then up 10 steps to upper level where the show was). Not a very happy customer🤨🤨🤨

I was there last night for the drag show, the atmosphere was alittle scary and run down, didn't enjoy having to go up and down a flight of stairs every time we wanted a drink or even use the bathroom..

The drag show was very unorganized and poorly run, drunk people not being taken care of by security. The DJ was drunk, unable to do their job very early into the show.. Performers being served to much alcohol where they are not even able to walk or stand up properly..causing unwanted altercations and alot of drama.

I would also like to add, I wasn't aware of the state of the venue, I understand it's a heavy metal more grunge kind of environment.

Maybe wasn't the most ideal space to have a drag performance.

I will add a positive note - there were some performers who were very good and put on a great show!

Haven't tried any of the food because I've only been there to check out the bands that play there. Amazing atmosphere and service at the bar.

Rolled through here for the first time playing a show with my band. The pictures do not do it enough justice. Vibes were immaculate. Only one person working on a Friday night but the staff there was very nice and the tacos were delicious. Great selection of beer and other drinks with very fair prices. Venue space is unique and has great character as well. Definitely recommend for fans of good dive bars with character or just those looking to enjoy some live music. This is an awesome spot I can't wait to return to

The best shows for local punk and metal bands, the bartends are sweethearts (shoutout to Tay) and no room for hate. Love this place!

Love this place. Chicken tacos are killer, the beef tastes weird but so do all beef tacos.

Doors is always great.

Can staff answer please ?? Ive Always wanted to go, curious what the age group is ... what is the best night to go? What is the dress code? Entrance fee? Parking? Any mocktails?

From the outside it looks like a dive bar but I've been going for 20 years and it's one of my favourite places in Hamilton. The food is incredible and it's a great place to catch unconventional music acts as every other venue in Hamilton gets gentrified. May this place live forever.
