Review from Clare L.

I got here on a unoffish yelp party in search of this free monthly dance class offered at the bar. Dance class was baller, led by Robin Henderson.
It's nice and friendly, comfortable seating, and man does it get packed here after 9. Server was super nice, and drinks were flowing through the table. The vibe is pretty casual, and a pretty big mixed crowd. PBR cans were the highlight of the evening it seemed, and a great place to hang out if you're Mile End bound.
I didn't have any food there, but my friend had the apple brie sandwich, and she said it was hard putting it down it was delicious! -

Well, I finally made my way here after hearing so much about this place, namely the poutine and the fried pickles...
A friend of mine was having a get together last saturday, and I figured I'd come early so i can grab a bite to eat before my friends came.
The place turns into a bar after 9:30 pm or so... and they get rid of the tables. we got there around 10 pm, they start charging a cover after 10:30pm hihi.
The decor seems just blah, and it's pretty much all black... by the time we got there they were serving just drinks, but you can still order food at the bar. I went ahead and ordered the royal poutine, since it has pulled pork, coleslaw, and green apples.
Let me just say!!!! the poutine is crazy!!! it's amazing nice taste and texture, well balanced. And this I ate on a full stomach, and I ate it all!!
This is the best poutine I've ever had, better than poutineville and better than poutine au foie gras at pied de cochon!!!
We also ordered lychee martini, which was weak but it was a full glass at least. Then we ordered it again and this time, the glass was 3/4 full, I'm thinking wtf?
Plus they automatically charge you tips. This one girl took 5$ from me for three drinks which she made at 3/4 potions, hello? rip off much?
I find the bar staff is uneven, some are really nice and some are like blah
I have yet to try the fried pickles cuz I was too full. But the bar scene here is blah!!! and the music was sad lol
If it wasn't for the nice waiter and the poutine this place would get 2 stars out of me!!! but Mr. waiter you were nice ;) -

PBR Me.
If you like cheep drinks, greasy food and live an alternative lifestyle, this is your spot. Watch out for lesbians in captain's hats.
Is April over yet?

Review from Risa D.
I was there last night with a pack of ladies, there was a new waiter who was clearly a pro: no waiting, no chaos, super funny friendly attentive service. And the food!! The poutine is really exceptional, and I have eaten at least 3 times my weight in poutine so I should know. The deep fried pickles and hot peppers are freakin amazing as well - it's a light tempura style batter, not heavy, so good that today I thought "If Royal Phoenix was open right now I'd eat deep fried pickles and peppers for breakfast." The beet salad and papaya salad were light and crazy tasty as well - kudos to a place that can do both poutine and salad well. And watch out - they just kicked off a brunch party monthly thing, and if it works they'll roll it out weekly. Word from the last one was that latkes, Japanese pop bands, and lesbian haircuts do indeed make for a magical breakfast in the mid afternoon.

My grandma could make a drink faster, and she is in a wheel chair. Maybe the bartender was ignoring my group of gay men. Had to go to Waverly to actually get a drink. The location is good but bar staff needs some training. I had a good time until I got frustrated and left.
