Excellent space! Look forward to travelling from Cape Breton as often as I can to enjoy it. Best Karaoke in town on Thursday nights. Free pool, no cover, and happy hour every day 6-9. The club downstairs is opened 10-2 on the weekends. It has an underground feel, huge dance floor, excellent lighting. Also a great venue for performers and special events. Friendly staff, and free coat check. Best music and overall experience. Can’t wait to visit soon!

Great new place very well redone. The dance club doesn't start till ten, so mainly a pub environment and clientele. Dancing doesn't get busy till late late because of it. If your looking for a place to dance earlier then 12:00 this might not be the place. I have gone a few times and seems consistent.

We stopped in last night to check it out and it’s really nice! The space is large, fresh, clean and well laid out! Two pool tables definitely had our attention and two levels of awesomeness! Seriously a great venue that just opened and you need to check it out for yourselves. You’ll love it! Great for large groups too!
