Kate totally knocked it out of the park for me tonight. What a gem of a bartender. Thank you for your hospitality, Kate. I really really appreciate it. She took my allergies and dietary restrictions into consideration and kept me safe. I really can't say enough good things about my experience here. What a great bar! I enjoyed the music, the ambiance and especially the service.... And they have double purples in cans?! Oh my. My new favourite watering hole.

nachos were good as well as drinks, the bartender was quite rude to my friends-while i understand not allowing anyone without proper ID in the bar (even if not buying any alcohol, which i don’t understand why they wouldn’t have someone IDing people at the door before letting them in)the bartender had QUITE an attitude, saying “don’t sass me” after they said they were leaving when told to, then we heard the bartender talking about it loudly and being rude about it to his co workers. mind everything they was obviously over age and had another form of ID, he had made our whole party uncomfortable and we left.i fully understand the rule of having no one under legal age in the bar, perhaps have someone checking IDs AT THE DOOR before letting them sit down in the establishment at all.

Best spontaneous decision I have ever made. It was the bar, night, beer, and experience I didn't know I needed. But now that I know, I will never forget. It is my new regular place. Speaking of regular, even pooping there is fun. Why? Go go and find out.

This bar has a different vibe to it. We loved the vibe and ambience . It’s a local pub but you can find a cosy spot for yourself. Staff is warm and friendly .

I didn't really eat any food, so I can't rate that! But the place is great for a drink, love music and the atmosphere. They have a chill little patio in the back too. I would definitely hold an event here or come out for a drink!

Apparently they need a new ceiling and can’t allow more people in than this. So while our group of five was waiting at the door two people left, and the door girl let a random new customer in who just showed up. When questioned why he was allowed in but not us her response was “one in one out.” I told her that we were here first, and that he should be in line behind us, but she had no grasp of this concept and maintained that he was “just one guy.”

maybe it was just a bad night but only 2 people working and having EXTREMELY intoxicated 45 year old men taking our things off our table including personal belongings, wouldnt leave us alone once we sat down at the table beside them. They somehow kept being served drinks for hours, wasnt a comfortable enviorment.

    You’re right. Unfortunately the city of Hamilton has capped our legal capacity at 30 people right now. Once we fire proof our ceiling and add 6 bathrooms we will be allowed to welcome more people in.

    We're sorry this happened. Our staff are trained to interfere with these kinds of situations, but we missed this one. We hope you return and give us another chance.
