The bar and overall vibe suit solo travelers who like to soak in the surroundings, and nearby show nights are mentioned as a good time for a pre-show visit. Some experiences vary, with fries tasting old or cold, the cheese in poutine not melted, and a burger not well cooked, and a few comments that the menu has not changed in years. Still, many say this is a reliable spot to eat well before a nearby show and would return or recommend it for a casual, no-fuss outing.View restaurant profile
