You're like an alien
Ur white boots on
The milky pale skin
I slurp like the goldfish behind clear plastic
Fearful & distraught for the lurking presence
& then the piranha
Comes around the corner
& suddenly I've seen
The pale white boots are pale no more
I've seen red fear glistening a sparkle in the eye
Of the 3 seconds mind of the goldfish
Behind
Separated
Alone
In my own tank.

If you like gothic rock-style bar or just looking for a place where to have big okay beer for 10$ & play pool then this is ideal.

Great bar with a good selection of beer on tap. Staff are the friendliest in the area! Good terrace on St Cath in the summer.

Clairement, les toilettes au sous-sol on besoin d'être réparées, autant côté homme que femme! Je ne sais pas pour celles du rdc. Salle de spectacle agréable. Le bar d'en-bas tien le strict minimum en boisson mais il est possible de faire des achats au bar du rdc & descendre avec! J'y retournerais voir un show!
