Rude black guy at the front did not let 3 people in with id. Made us dump out drinks then would not allow. Super rude.
Best place to go if you're looking for a good time any day of the week. The sound is good and the staff are sweet. Great open mic, live shows, and karaoke.
Great ambiance and friendly staff. Usually there is live music and karaoke.
Cool Bar great place to meet up, random jazz music and awesome staff
Cheap beer, you get what you pay for. The clients make the place especially on event nights but the staff needs some customer service training. Older white lady who works there is on a massive power trip and it was clear to us how rude she was treating other customers. Makes you not want to return.
Be aware that they ask for “optional” donations at the door on random nights, but will be rude if you don’t give them your money. The inside also smelled a bit like bathroom, but maybe because of where I was seated. Overall, not bad but not great.
Was accosted by an employee because I went to the washroom with a friend, nothing nefarious was going on we were simply using the washroom and we had been in there for maybe 1 minute before they started banging on the door and yelling at us, and other people had gone to the washroom in pairs and no one said anything to them. When we got out the employee was yelling at us more and accusing me of “having an attitude” when I was trying to explain that nothing bad was going on and I was just accompanying my friend. The employee kept yelling at us and had such a power trip over the whole thing. The event was supposed to be open to all and the event was supposed to be in a friendly environment but the staff were incredibly rude and mean and created an unfriendly environment that really ruined our experience.
great spot in Kensington market!

Nice place with a good potential, however if you go there for karaoke be prepared for the mc not picking your song and having just his friends to sing. We were a group of +/-15 and some of us waited 4 hours before their songs were chosen whilst some other guy sang at least 3 times. Also very disrespectful comments from the mc. I recommend to fire the guy.

A cute bar tucked in the tail end of Kensington. Went there recently because my friend was djing. Liked the fact that it was a decent sized stage that wasn’t too tall, it was a great show :) tried my first cosmopolitan. So cute!
