Reviews
Had a great time. Vibe was nice, good music. Employees were friendly. You guys have a goldmine, a real Dimond, but the dimond needs some serious polishing. A nice broom and a serious mopping, a good surface wipe down, and it's 5⭐️ and i could see all this in the dark.
So driving around, the neighborhood seemed dead, that is no one was out. Perhaps because it was still chilly. But when we walked into the restaurant it was very lively. Families and friends getting dinner enjoying themselves.
We came for dinner on a Tuesday I believe, it was pretty busy but we were seated right away.
We all ordered pizza. Boring I know, but it was very good. It wasn't very expensive either.
If you're looking for a place to eat and not sure where to go, come here.
Parking is street parking, we had no trouble finding parking.

Not what it used to be. Was good when it was one of the first to introduce Neapolitan style pizza to Montreal but others have far super-ceded them over time. If you’re looking for authentic and delicious pizza/pasta, this is definitely NOT the place. Overly hyped.
I went with my boyfriend on Sunday April 7th in the afternoon and the 2 girls working there were giving attitude and had a rude tone of voice (for no reason). They were busy on a computer doing some work which didn't bother me, but what bothered me is the service I got. There wasn't a lot of people either. I had a great time with my boyfriend but the service was not it.
This place was okay. It is small and loud inside. The idea is fun but we really weren't wowed. Think it may be fun for kids but not so much for teenagers or adults.
It was awesome experience. Both of our Kids 4y/o and 11y/o enjoyed a lot. We spent two long hrs there.
We were 4 and did a full round of mini golf. It was fun. We also played with machines but I would prefer mini golf.
One of the machines were brokenand not working.

Well maintained 18 holes mini put in downtown Montreal. 15$/person. There is also a small arcade next to it.
Nice vibes. The staff was helpful and professional. Went for a work event, and it would have been really nice if the bar had actual non-alcoholic cocktails. The bartenders did their best, but it's not the same as what is increasingly available elsewhere.
As well, I got the vegan option, but not enough information was communicated to make me particularly comfortable eating there. This restaurant considers the "vegan option" to be whatever the vegetarian option is, but without the cheese. For example, a grilled vegetable "shelf" that typically comes with feta, was served to the vegans without the feta. It was unclear if the creamed soup was suitable for vegans, same with the wine, and the music was so loud it was not a conversation I wanted to have with the waiter.
The wild mushroom risotto was good, but something I could have whipped up at home in 30 minutes.
All in all, the points are for the staff.

It's a bring your own wine, which is great, but this shouldn't be a reason to serve dry industrial pasta in an Italian restaurant in Little Italy. This is a kitchen that is made to serve as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. And for that purpose, it does its job well. The length of the menu should be a big enough hint that no one is sitting in the back rolling fresh pasta and browning guanciale to make a proper carbonara. But don't get me wrong, the food is not bad. It's what I would make at home when I don't have too much time to cook. It tastes ok, it does the job of feeding people and it doesn't break the bank. With friends and wine, you'll still enjoy your time.
The pizza was delicious. Also this place seemed super cool, I wish we would’ve dined in the restaurant as they had a fun byow night which I thought was a super cute idea. The pizza was still delicious for Take-away.
Returning to a familiar place stirred up nostalgia, menu looks unchanged since my last visit many years ago. The antipasto la buffala, priced at $21, felt underwhelming with minimal basil on tomato slices alongside mozzarella di bufala. The primavera pizza tasted excessively salty and lacked inspiration due to the use of canned clams. While my experience wasn't satisfying, I'd recommend trying other menu options, perhaps exploring dishes that showcase the restaurant's specialties or seeking recommendations from the staff to enhance the dining experience.
Went there for the Xmas party. Food was ok. Service was good.
Delicious food! We were 5, we shares the cheese and Toscana izzas and pesto gnocchi, and rose gnocchi. For dessert, a slice of carrot cake, tiramisu, cheese cake Alice and tartufo. Great service from Alex! Lovely ambiance 😊
I've only been there once and I was far behind on the balcony. All the seats are lined up and there isn't a big height differential between rows. It was pretty hard to see the scene.
The pluses: I don’t think you can find a better spot in downtown Montreal with those prices. The venue is beautiful, I loved the arch, they’re very turnkey and espace canal is super pretty and can really look great with minimal effort. Alex was great to work with and hustled during the wedding to make sure everything was great. The menu was adapted for vegetarians and vegans and food was delicious. The bartenders were super sweet as well as were all the waiters.
The minuses: we had issues with our first coordinator which caused quite a lot of stress, there was issues with figuring out who would take over, the communication can mostly only be done by email (not phone really) and you have to be very very proactive in order to make sure everything is organized. But if you are organized and will write them and follow up a lot, everything should go smoothly.
Summary: I think it’s definitely a steal for a spot in the city, if you like a more urban vibe. I really enjoyed my night tremendously. The planning was a bit rough around the edges but I think it makes sense with the pricing.
If you like my flowers it was Aux Fleurs Folies and my photographer was Arianne Gagnon Nantel :)

I had the pleasure of visiting the Montreal Biosphère and the beautiful park surrounding it, and it exceeded all my expectations. This iconic geodesic dome, originally built for Expo 67, is a true marvel of architectural design.
Inside the Biosphère, you'll find a fascinating exploration of our planet's ecosystems, climate change, and sustainability. The interactive exhibits are not only educational but also engaging for visitors of all ages.
But the magic doesn't stop there. The park itself is a lush, green escape from the urban hustle and bustle. It's a perfect spot for a leisurely stroll or a picnic with stunning views of the Saint Lawrence River and the city skyline. The peaceful ambiance and well-maintained pathways make it a favorite among locals and tourists alike.
Whether you're a nature enthusiast or simply looking for a serene place to unwind, the Montreal Biosphère and its surrounding park are a must-visit. It's a testament to the city's commitment to environmental awareness and a hidden gem waiting to be explored. Don't miss this opportunity to connect with nature and learn about our planet's precious ecosystems.

I love this place, you can take beautiful pictures, it's easy to get there, you can take the bus to go to la ronde, if you want to you can take the ferry to the old port (extra if you don't have an opus card) or just enjoy the view and chill
Huge park. lots of activities to do. parking is paid. $12/2hr and $20/day. it would take one full day to visit everything. go on a weekend as most of fun activity happens. check the website before going.
one of the pictures is timing for the bistro
there is big metro station if you don't want to drive. bus stops as well. easy transit access and more frequency.
hiking trails, biosphere museum, la Ronde (fair), casino, garden, bar and patio, kayaking and water activities. lots of things available. please check the website to see if the activities you want to try is available on the particular day of your visit.

Crew Collective & Cafe is a hidden gem in the heart of the city. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a sense of grandeur, as the space beautifully combines historic architecture with a modern, chic ambiance. Whether you’re looking for a cozy corner to work in or a place to meet friends, this establishment has it all.
The coffee here is exceptional, and their menu offers a delightful array of treats for any palate. What sets Crew Collective & Cafe apart, though, is the welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff. The service is top-notch, making it an ideal spot for both work and relaxation.
Whether you’re a local seeking a regular haunt or a visitor exploring the city, Crew Collective & Cafe is a must-visit. It’s more than just a cafe; it’s an experience that leaves you feeling inspired and refreshed. I highly recommend giving it a try!

A beautiful location to grab a good drink of your choice and plenty of sides from bagels to sweet pastries.
The ambiance is phenomenal and there is private rooms you can reserve for 15$/H to study or have a meeting or plan stuff.
Very limited space to sit and relax so plan to arrive in a less busy time.
Parking is a little tricky and hard to find since its located in the old port of the city.
Staff is nice and welcoming props to them for the hard work!
A must see if you are new in Montréal !

The service was excellent.
Liked the location of the hotel..
The only issue was with thr design of the room.
It was strange having a sink in the hallway and the toilet abd shower being in a closet together.
There was also a lack of chest of drawers
The terrace was also not used properly. It has a great view of Montreal.
They could have put a bar up there.

Coffee was great view was fantastic but seats are very limited. They have enough space but available with reservation (with payment)
Took more than 20 minuits to get 2 coffees. Even long waiting no latte art, that was okay but cappuccino was like a latte, no foam.
Just once would be fine 🙂
Ah parking is not easy

I had a fantastic time at Crew Collective & Café! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the beautiful architecture and aesthetic decor. The spacious seating area made it perfect for enjoying our food. The private study rooms for 15$/h were a great addition.
I absolutely loved the Oat & Lavender Latte – it's easily a 5/5 for me. My brother enjoyed the refreshing Matcha Lemonade, also a solid 5/5! The Sugar Scone was delicious, although slightly dry, earning a 4/5. The Brownies were decent but not too exciting, a 3/5 from me.
Overall, I'd rate the experience 5/5 and highly recommend this cafe to anyone visiting Montreal. The staff were incredibly kind and friendly. The prices were reasonable too – we spent a total of 28$ (taxes included) for two drinks and two pastries. Keep in mind, there might be a wait during rush hours. We waited about 15-20 minutes, but it's definitely worth it. Can't wait to visit again soon!

Our room was small. Having said that, the decor was beautiful and the designer made great use of space. Gorgeous washroom. I loved the shower. We had a small window in the room, reminding you it's an old building that has been renovated. Nice details in supplies - lush towels, nice selection in mini bar, red wine & wine glasses and wine opener awaits. Nespresso machine and cups ready to go. Bottled water. Individual Shampoos & hand cream. The hotel itself is charming. It is valet parking only. I believe that was $47/night. The location is special - perfect. The hotel offers a rooftop terrace for drinks and meals. It's also connected to a restaurant on the main floor. There is a shop that offers casual wear and some art. We didn't have time to take advantage of the spa facilities. Service was excellent. They do turn over the bed in the evenings. They replenish your room in late afternoon. Everything felt new and very clean. We loved it and would definitely return. Enjoy your stay! 🍷
Stunning architecture and beautiful building to check out and book study rooms, although a bit loud. The wait for the drinks is very long and the drinks are so amazing that they are worth the wait. Try to go when its not super busy if you wanna go for just the cafe!
Very elegant boutique hotel in the heart of the Old Port. The interior is beautiful, the rooms are clean and the service is very efficient. Drinks on the rooftop terrace are great with nice views of the waterfront. Keep in mind that due to its location it is very busy, crowded on the street level and looking for parking is pointless. They offer on-site valet parking which is worth it just to avoid the headache of old port traffic. Obviously everything you could want is a few steps away and there are dining and cafe establishments at the ground level (Maggy Oak's and cafe Olympic).
The food at this restaurant is absolutely amazing, and everything I tried was delicious. However, the service was rude and barely attentive and we we’re seated outside in front of someone’s house. Despite that, I would still rate the food 5/5 and recommend this spot.
The location of the hotel is very good, but they do not provide good services. I stayed in this hotel for two nights to prepare for my wedding ceremony. I asked for a steam iron and a mirror, but they did not have them, and the employees of this hotel did not even congratulate me. Their behavior was not friendly and warm. The facilities inside the room were not good at all, there was almost nothing in the room and for everything you had to call and ask them to bring it to you.The room was clean, but my bed sheet was torn, I do not recommend this hotel
This was our first time in Montreal as we were attending a convention. We chose this location as it looked very nice and it was extremely close to the congress center.
We were disappointed by the actual size of the rooms, as they appear much bigger in the photos. We also encountered some issues with the cleanliness of the room. The sheets had orange stains on them, and the pillows had brown dirt/dust that could be wiped off. The carpeting was hard, and slightly sticky as well.
The bathroom design was average, however the shower knobs need to be changed to handles as it's impossible to turn them when wet. The pocket doors are also not a great idea as they don't block any sound at all, which is fine if you're alone, but not fine if you're staying as a couple. I suppose this is just a side effect of having such a small room - regular doors aren't plausible.
The location is amazing, it's extremely convenient for what what we were doing, and it's very close to a lot of amazing Cafes and restaurants in probably the nicest part of Montreal.
I don't know if I'd stay here again in all honesty just because of the price/value and cleanliness. Next time we're in Montreal we will likely try another hotel.
Overall this was quite an average experience. Not bad, not incredible.

Shared a room here for Otakuthon 2023 and it was great, probably the best hotel I've ever stayed in.
It's right next to the convention center (and therefore the metro), cleanliness is top notch and the everything is very modern feeling.
The room is smaller than what you'd usually expect in a hotel but I don't feel it was cramped with two people. The space is used very efficiently.
Shower pressure and the temperature control was on point, better than my shower at home.
Staff are also very friendly and helpful.
The highlight of this was when waiting to check out, a helpful staff member plucked us out of the line to do the check out at the kiosks to the side, and also stored our luggage for us without having to do a thing.
The only hole I felt was that there was no airport shuttle.

A very traditional Greek restaurant. We were there with family and we had a wonderful time. Food was very good and the waiter was super nice and helpful. Sorry to see it is closing after 30+ years in business. If you get a chance before they close, do so!
I've done a fair amount of travel, and this is one of the best hotels out there. Exceptional service, nice design/ decor, comfortable rooms (great showers!), and a perfect location for enjoying Montreal. The staff are very polite, professional, and helpful (and they're very patient whenever I try to practice my French, which is terrible). Can't recommend the William Gray highly enough.
This hotel is well situated and the valet service is awesome. You know your car is safe. The cleaning service however still needs some
Improvement. Our used towels were not
Changed for the first two days we stayed and were left hanging wet on the hook. We stayed for 3 nights and the shower gel
Was not refilled at all. We had to use the soap given to wash our hands near the sink as we had no more shower gel. Everything else is great.

Great experience! Nice and clean room, although on the smaller side. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The valet parking was easy. Great location! Close to everything! We didn't use the restaurant or the bar, but it looked nice from the outside. Really enjoyed our stay!
My daughter’s wedding on August 4th, loved the hall and loved the outside gazebo for the wedding ceremony. They know what there doing for weddings, they were vety helpful.
The meal was delicious and people loved the open bar.
Small glitches; slow service (main course), DJ was a little late, forgot a small detail regarding the bubbles after the wedding ceremony.
I would definitely recommend the Espace Canal for any wedding celebration 🎉.
Merci

Very large Parc! Many activities! Lots of resting places (benches)! Could improve on adding more public washrooms! Metro and Bixi stations! Great for kids and families! See map attached!
Dean at the front desk made our stay pleasant. I truly believe in the first encounter, it gives a sense of the vibe a certain place has. Dean was very welcoming and friendly upon checking in and checking out. It is because of him and the cleaning staff that this place is 5 stars in my books. The location is decent as well. Valet parking is $35 .
Lovely hotel, great location. We love the rooftop terrace for drinks and dinner and the library/coffee shop area. We’ve stayed at this hotel several times, but this time was a bit less impressive than before. We were first offered a room with very tiny windows that felt claustrophobic despite high ceilings. The second room offered was much better in terms of light but overlooked a noisy back alley where bins were removed early in the morning. We still had a great time, but for the price, I have very high expectations, so 4 stars from me this time.
Really fantastic hotel in an ideal location in Old Montréal. The bed was comfortable and the shower was amazing. Loved the spa. One complaint was the room we were given was by the elevator and the room opened right to the bed rather than down a bit of a hallway which is typical. The TV was placed in an odd location which made watching it hard. The housekeeping was terrible! They constantly came late after we’d returned to rest after all day out, forgot to replace coffee mugs and take old ones, didn’t leave new wash cloths, never once replaced lotion. For such an expensive luxury hotel, the housekeeping was really oddly sloppy. We did love the front desk people, spa and concierge. Maggie Oakes was pretty good too. We will be back but will ask for a better room.
This is an exceptional hotel. Rooms are excellent, everything is very clean and the daily cleaning service is incredible. The staff is also very friendly. I made two reservations and they even corrected my wrong reservation without making any problem. The hotel is very close to the one of the main metro station (3 min. walk). I recommend it to everyone visiting Montreal.
It's such a beautiful place. There's so much to see. The flowers are beautiful. There's also this enormous blue chair that's really cool. I simply went there to enjoy the clamness of the afternoon and had no idea a that the Biosphere Museum was near by. I was pleasantly surprised. I absolutely enjoyed going there and intend to go back soon.
We were invited to a wedding so no comment on the rooms as we did not book one. Speaking about the establishment per se,it was fantastic. The first and most important factor would be it’s incredible staff. I am speaking top of the trade attendees.
The hotel itself was gorgeous and comfortable. Restrooms plentiful.
I did notice a spa which was being frequented which is a nice touch to a hotel.
Location is great if you’re around the downtown area.

I spent 4 months in Montreal and went frequently there, even did a helicopter tour above. That’s really a gem in the city. I love the fact it is such easy to access with the metro. There are a lot of music events during the summer. Truly the best place to admire the city in my opinion.
The food is totally awesome. The service is great too. The price is ok but considering the quality of the food its quite fair.
It looks very old and smells old, like your grandma's house. By lunch time, the place was empty and the old lady seemed to be serving and cooking all by herself. (And she's really nice)
Negative point: The restrooms are terrible and smell bad.

I went to the terrace, had a cocktail and some entrees, everything was delicious and the view, omg the view, since it's in Old Montreal- old port, you get a view with water surrounding you. Gorgeous place and the waitresses were really nice. They even charged my phone 💚
I only had the iced latte, but it was great! I mainly went in to look at the architecture. The ceilings are amazing. Staff is very friendly. Tables and chairs are pretty close together, but they make it cozy.
We had a great experience at L'Ambroisie for our wedding ceremony and reception. We felt well taken care of and the day went smoothly. We were able to create our own vegetarian menu with the chef and it was absolutely delicious! We appreciated that the main services were in-house or they referred us to vendors for services they didn't provide (flowers etc). It was the hassle-free wedding we wanted!
Minor issues: we had 3 different coordinators throughout our planning process due to staff changes and through the handovers, some communication got lost. There was also a breakdown in communication between the staff that handled our tasting and the coordinator. Closer to the wedding date, it was also a bit of a struggle to get direct answers around day-of details via email and, as another reviewer mentioned, staff seemed unreachable or unable to schedule a phone meeting.
The DJ also wasn't top-notch, but that's an outside company that L'Ambroisie uses.
All in all, we're very happy with our decision to have our wedding at L'Ambroisie! Would definitely recommend.

A beautiful family meal, prepared and served with love by the owners, who make you feel like visiting family. Delicious home made specialties, everything fresh and prepared with care and attention. Order all the starters (we doubled up on the home
made Spanikopita, no shame) and don’t skip dessert. ❤️❤️❤️

This location is a converted historic bank and has a bit of a Harry Potter feel (think Gringotts). We came on a Saturday and the line was super long, so expect about 30-45 min wait. We picked up an egg/mozz sandwich and ordered 2 hazelnut lattes. The sandwich bread was quite dense so maybe ask for a knife to cut smaller. One of the lattes tasted different from the other - it could be that one of them did not get the syrup shot ordered. The staff were friendly and the interior is a very nice experience. There are open work areas but it's quite busy so it's hit or miss. There are banquette work areas that can be reserved for $15/hr or $80 daily. It's definitely an interesting experience.
I had some trouble figuring out how to get here with all the construction. The first parking lot I tried did not have a working parking payment station. It was interesting once we got to the biosphere. A short walk on the promenade got us a great view of old Montreal and St. Lawrence River. More research will be required to make better use of the park next time!!
Have not tried the food but this has got to be one of the most gorgeous coffee shops in North America. It’s in a historical building with super high ceilings and comfortable spacious seating.
Can’t wait to try their coworking space sometime. They have meeting rooms, booths, and open area tables set aside for paying coworkers. 100% would love to try!!
Fyi it is a super popular place, morning and afternoon. Be prepared to assertively wait and claim a spot.

I recently stayed at Hôtel William Gray and I have to say I was blown away by the experience. The hotel is located in the heart of Montreal's Old Port, and the location couldn't be more perfect. Everything you could want to see is just a short walk away.
The rooms at Hôtel William Gray are spacious, elegant and comfortable. I loved the modern decor and the fact that they have kept the building's historic charm. The amenities in the room were fantastic - from the comfortable bed to the luxurious linens and the Nespresso machine, they have thought of everything to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. They went out of their way to accommodate any requests I had, and provided some great recommendations on restaurants and things to do in the area. The hotel also has a great rooftop bar with stunning views of the city.
The rooms at Hôtel William Gray are spacious, elegant and comfortable. I loved the modern decor and the fact that they have kept the building's historic charm.

I went to celebrate my birthday because I knew I wasn't going to be disappointed, and I wasn't! Rodos has been in business for such a long time for good reason. The service is excellent, the food is authentic, and the ambience couldn't be beat. My favourite place for an authentic Greek meal in Montreal, by far.
Great performance venue, felt charming and an older style.
A very big and beautiful park with great views of the city and harbour. They've been making many renovations to update the park's infrastructure, buildings, and landscape features.
I definitely recommend coming here during the weekdays when it's quiet to explore the many trails and gardens.

Very cute place (typical Greek) and very nice people! You really feel like traveling when you’re there! Excellent lamb and food in general! The Greek wine was perfect as well! Thanks again and see you soon :)
I recently visited this amazing Greek restaurant and I was pleasantly surprised. The service was friendly and efficient, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The bread they served us was warm and fresh, while the ingredients were top-notch. My wife and I both enjoyed our meal immensely.
The decor of this hidden gem is very authentic Greek style, which added to the overall experience. We ordered grilled chicken, lamb Moussaka, Lentil soup and spanakopita - all of which were cooked to perfection! It tasted even better than what we had in Greece!
Overall we had a wonderful time at this restaurant - it exceeded all expectations! Prices are fair for such quality food too. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic Greek dining experience with excellent service!

Bring your own wine pizzeria, since 1948. The restaurant itself has a cozy and rustic atmosphere and the tree standing right in the middle provides an authentic feeling. I wouldn’t say the food is remarkable however. The meat balls were very chewy, the pasta was decent, but there was an excessive amount of cooking cream used in the dish and the pizza was just average.
Cool experience. The neons lights are cool, and wearing white makes you glow in the dark too! The staff is chill and friendly. There are Different music genres playing in the background. I wouldn’t recommend going with a large group because it takes forever. I would go with 2-4 people max. I felt bad for the people waiting behind us. The arcade is a plus :)
Hidden Gem. Very authentic Greek restaurant decor. Excellent service. We had grilled chicken, lamb Moussaka, Lentil soup and spanakopita. All were delicious
We celebrated our wedding at Espace Canal last weekend and it was the day of our dreams. Alexa has been a joy to work with through the entire planning process. These haven't been easy times for the industry, but despite pandemic closures and labour shortages, L'Ambroisie has managed to retain a dedicated, amazing staff full of people who clearly love working there, and they made our big day awesome. The weather cooperated to give us a beautiful sunny day and we got our dream wedding ceremony in the gardens along the canal. The party after was fantastic - the food, drinks, setup, everything went off without a hitch. They customized the menu based on our feedback and were so accommodating and flexible with our requests. Special shout-out to Alexa and team for accommodating our unique craft beer and whisky requests. To couples looking for a beautiful venue for their wedding, look no further!
The service is polite and fast. The food is delicious. The bread is warm and ingredients fresh. I and my wife loved it.
The place shows its age but has a very authentic feel. When the spots light up the scene, the whole place, clad in red and gold, takes on a beautiful and dignified air. Magical. The staff was friendly and their gin tonic was great! (I wish they had 7th Heaven gin but hey, cant have it all ;) )
A great venue, i loved it.

An old theater with character in need of some renovations
The theater is small compared to other theaters in Montreal or else where.
The entrance was fluid as the staff were checking the vaxi passport and the tickets, masks are not optional during the show. The location of the theater is hard for parking so better come one hour in advance to find a good parking spot.
The shows are variable and the place has a website you came check all the upcoming shows.
Not my last time.

My husband and I got married here in September. Before we found L'Ambroisie we wondered whether it was worth it for us to have a full scale wedding at all. We probably looked up every venue in the Montreal area, and it seemed like venues similar to L'Ambroisie were exponentially more expensive, and venues at a similar price point weren't half as beautiful. Once we found it, the decision was easy for us.
The location and food were lovely, and the best value of all was probably access to a venue coordinator. Because this is more or less an all-in-one venue, our coordinator, Alexa, was an expert on most everything to do with the day. We must've emailed back and forth almost a hundred times over the year we planned our wedding. I felt like I had a $5000 wedding planner for free.
We had so many compliments on our venue. I would recommend L'Ambroisie to anyone.

The place is small compared to the pictures on the website, the angles were the key for the pictures, bit nonetheless the mini putt experience was great. The More you bring friends, the more you will have fun. I went with my gf and we had fun. Would've been nicer if the price was 2-3box less but at 15$ its still something you want to do. 😁
Missing this spot these days...from Built to Spill to Slowdive, definitely saw a lot of memorable bands and had amazing times here. The sightlines and sound were always bang on, never had a hard time enjoying myself in this space. It’s just big enough, just warm enough and it feels like you’re surrounded by a rich history of vibe every time you enter the place. Wish I could go chill there now in fact...
Really nice and calm place. The food here is good, specially the salade that I tried. Very clean and staff is friendly. They have also small private room where I could imagine you can be in smal group of about 20 people for your birthday or other life events. Thank you for amazing experience!
One of my favorite venues for metal shows. The floor is so old you feel it's going to crumble under your feet, but the sound is amazing. If you arrive early, you can usually rest your elbows on the stage and take it all in.
A small venue make it an intimate encounter with your favorite Rockband.
The staff are sweet and helpful.
The floor needs to be changed its hard on the feet but it has a nice angle so you can always see the stage from anywhere in the place
Nice old school look!
The small venue make it great for the acoustic of the place!
