Still going strong! It's been about 15 years since I visited & they still have some of the same good beers & a great vibe for meeting friends to chat over a few pints. The service was excellent, friendly & attentive. Definitely happy to see them holding their own with good craft beer.
So fun everytime! I've been a regular here for a while for casual hang outs & weekly trivia & every single member of the staff is so nice, the prices are good & the beer is great. Trivia is fun, fast paced & I love that everyday of the week there's a new event.
Absolutely fantastic Monday night! Great food, cool waitress & a group of young people who invited me to be a part of their trivia team. The beer is great! I'll be back when in town.
Beers a tad expensive especially in Quebec but it's a microbrewery so it's to be expected, beer was super good nothing special but also a lot better than other breweries, Cubanon sandwich is perfect it's one of my favourite sandwiches of all time & they don't disappoint here
Do bands ever play here? Website advertises bands at 10pm. Waited & waited & waited. Bands setup, & then just sit & chat to themselves with no sign of playing. Who knows if they ever actually play. Perhaps at 12pm? Go to one of many other venues where bands actually perform on time.
