“Great venue, great sound, great crowd, great beer, awful cheeseburger.”

This is probably the most unique bar in Calgary. It has a very distinctly LGBTQ+ friendly vibe but it’s not strictly a gay bar and people of all types visit. They have a very wide array of fun events, theme nights and music shows covering many different genres often not represented in other venues. Main complaint is that they have a really poor beer selection and it’s probably the biggest reason I don’t come here more often.

One of my favourite spot around. Always something new and always something good. The chef in the kitchen makes amazing home made style food and my two favourite bartenders always know how to make me smile. Will come back again and again

Quintessential basement music venue and it does it well! The show I saw was a blast, people and staff were friendly, sounds and lights were good. I was lucky it see a show my one night in town, but look forward to finding another reason to go soon!

Great place for a concert venue! I've been a couple of times. Staff are friendly. No water bottles when you come for a show. If you bring one you will need to leave it at the door. There is water inside from large jugs with many cups available. If you're coming from a show I recommend getting there early because the lineup was around the building yesterday and took about an hour to get inside.
