To be honest, I only dropped by because a web friend of mine was performing there, and thus, my hopes were not all that high since I had zero expectations. However, this place really surprised me: it is one of the most flavorful places I've ever seen in Toronto. Period. It's definitely worth checking out whenever you are near, and they are open.

This is a great music venue for all types of genres of music. Generally i have been for Electronic music event and the general admission area (the floor) has great viewing from all areas. The drinks are reasonably priced, fast and friendly service. The door staff is always friendly I will be back here soon.

Open concept, upstairs in main room with a lounge-like feel to the downstairs. The metal concert I saw there was pretty good, though I found the ladies room to be rather cramped and confined. Not a bad place to go out and have a few beers.

Good spot to check out some good indie acts, especially local ones. Drink selection isn't terrible. The sound system holds up decently well for the space. The only issue I have is that it seems like there is now capacity limit and it does get very very crowded to the point it may be difficult to get around so be aware.

The venue is decent. The location is alright. I went here for a concert and they made us pay to get in. And then after the pre show they made us all leave the venue and re-line up outside so they could take pictures to make it look like they had a good turnout. Then they forced everyone to stand right in front of the stage to also make it look like the crowd was big. The fact that the performers were local regular people I thought was cool. Some people had pretty good acts. Others were disturbing!

Really fun events, not the best looking building and washrooms but great if you want to go dance, listen to a good band, and have a beer

Trying to rent the entire space here, more than 2 months in advance, was damn near impossible. No response still til this day. Good thing I found a better, up to date venue
