If you’re looking for a good dive to have a couple beers this place is great . Good tunes and great atmosphere . Definitely somewhere that I would go back to .

Tight dive bar that’s the spot for Winnipeg Jets playoff games — great energy and good cool beers. No food but you can bring your own in. Unsure what the vibe is outside of Jets games but I’m sure you have some good convos in this cozy bar.

Walk in briefly for a drink and the atmosphere was great. The patrons were friendly. The staff was the best on site.

If I could give zero stars I would the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced I’ve never been so disrespected at a bar , the bartender expects you to kiss his ass with tips , I’m not going to tip for every single drink that I order especially since I’m going up to the bar to get my own drink and bringing my empty glasses back , I was going to tip at the end but the bartender didn’t give me a chance and instead choose to completely ignore me, I was refused service after one drink because I didn’t tip on that drink, at least have the balls to tell me to my face why you are refusing service, I don’t know why people like this choose to work in customer service , get a grip it’s the service industry some people tip at the end , bartenders like these are what is wrong with today’s outrageous tipping culture, they don’t even provide table service at this place so you’re basically paying him to do his job in my opinion that barely deserves a tip, get a higher paying job if you don’t like it!

We’ll come back for sure

Rustic dive bar serving Parkdale locals. Music is always on point here, usually a lot of Trip Hop. They sell vintage records and there's a table arcade Pacman if that's your thing.

Bartender completely ignored us, asked him for a margarita, said “nope, I don’t have one margarita”, we asked for a bar menu and he said “no”. Didn’t ask us what we wanted, didn’t look interested in serving us. Not sure what the issue was.

Loved this bar. Prices were great for drinks, nice old school feel and some vinyl records about.

But the bartender (or owner I believe?) decided to be very rude to me one night and cut me off, I can only guess for ordering two drinks at once?(which I often do at bars where they charge per drink, so I can grab 2 to charge on 1 bill) Never found out if that was why cause when I tried to ask why he was cutting me off, he said to let it go and back off, and got more hostile when I asked "what's going on here, what did I do!?". In my 12 years in the city and many many bars, not one other place has cut me off for ordering two drinks at once, or treated me so rudely. I even brought a bunch of my friends here that same night, I gave this place business and valued it, and yet I felt humiliated and dejected by this experience.

I won't tell people not to go here, as it's a nice bar, but I really hope this owner learns to do better and not treat a customer this way, I haven't been able to return since.

Was here on a Weds night but it was a nice spot for a reasonably priced drink in a cool atmosphere.
