Par quoi commencer... Quelle déception honnêtement! Je ne suis vraiment du genre à me être négative dans mes comments, mais malheureusement je dois être honnête. On pensait trouver un dîner mais en réalité c'est un bar & la bouffe d'ailleurs est écrit en dernier sur l'enseigne. On pense aller manger un burger & 2 bouncer a l'entrée demandent les cartes d'identités... Pour l'ambiance, je dirais que c'est la première fois qu'on ne s'est pas senti à notre place & pourtant le Mile End ça nous connait. Ensuite au niveau de la vibe & de la crowd, pas de jugement mais cette soirée nous étions entourés de jeunes qui se pensent au dessus de tout le monde & impoli. Pour le service, on a attendu presque 1h notre commande & j'ai dû valider avec la cuisine plusieurs fois car mon "ticket" avait été perdu... Pour la bouffe honnêtement si tu veux payer 17$ pour un smach trop salé + 8$ pour une frite congelée McCain c'est ta place... Au total 55$ + tip pour 1 Smash burger, 1 frite & 2 Corona... Been There, done that! Pour des idées recettes on se retrouve sur patesauketchup.com & sur insta @pates.au.ketchup Cheers!
In my opinion a normal bar that lives on good reviews from influencers. If you are willing to pay $17 for a smash burger that has nothing out of the ordinary this is the place. If not I would recommend avoiding it.
Dive bar style but with quality food & ambiance. Warm, friendly & professional staff. Stayed there for almost 8hrs & didn't see the time go by. The burger is a must-try, the wings & fries are some of the best. I'll definitely be returning. Crazy but genius idea: they sell shots of listerine, which could be practical for a date night or covering up the cigarette you weren't supposed to have.
Alright atmosphere, very much "clearly heavily curated hipster dive bar". I was surprised at not having any beers on tap (from what I saw). I don't think I'd go here for food later at night as it can get extremely busy. Burger was great, but it's $15 just on its own. A bit steep in my opinion. Fries were also incredibly good, with fantastic aioli. Did not have any cocktails but the bottled beers were ice-cold, colder than you'd typically get at a bar, & prices for drinks were what you'd expect for a bar in this area. Entire place smelled strongly of whatever the kitchen was cooking- which today was calamari. Not a bad smell at all, just made the place smell like a fish & chips spot.
My rating doesn't reflect the bar itself but is based on my first experience there. Was having a great time until I stepped out to get some air. The door guy was off to the side with his back to the door busy chatting up some girls who were waiting to get in, so when I walked out I didn't get the line drawn on my wrist which shows you were already inside. To be fair I didn't even know you needed that, thanks to the door guy not doing his job. I went to go back in, since my phone & friend group were all inside, & of course he wouldn't let me in, claiming they were at full capacity, as he was letting other people in. I nicely explained that I had been in there since about 10:45, my friends were at the bar near the pool table & I didn't have my phone because I left it inside he was completely rude & basically said I was lying because HE didn't see me leave. (But he clearly saw me walk in as we walked right passed him when we showed up) Then I asked if he could open the door so I could point them out & maybe wave one of them down so they could bring me my phone & we could leave (as I wasn't going to be spending another dollar after this interaction, & we spent a lot that night) Nope he couldn't even do that. Even had someone else vouch that I actually was in there with friends...basically called both of us liars because HE didn't see me leave. My whole group ended up leaving after telling him again that I had been in there with them & that even the bartenders could vouch for me since we were standing by the bar. We won't be going back that's for sure
Non-pretentious, comfortable, home of the delightfully greasy, eat-in-one-helping Michigan Burger & some damn memorable cocktails. Super-reactive bartender giving everyone flirty looks definitely a bonus!
Dylan & Kevin- excellent bartenders & very friendly. Burger was 20 times better than I expected at a diver bar. The patrons were unbelievably friendly. All in all- 10 of 10 review
