I come here pretty regularly. No cover; good guy/girl ratio; older crowd; music is okay~~~~usually pop with some ghetto rap and older tunes from 90’s and 2000’s. Bar kinda gets a bad rap from my colleagues for being a «cougar bar», but tbf, I prefer it over the other bars with drunk children clientele. Generally speaking, the club is non judgmental. Clientele is diverse in age, race & sexual orientation. Simply stated, clientele is there to have a good time, and they do. I will say, guys can be aggressive in this bar, so be prepared to be a big boy/girl when in here. Come midnight or so, the bar usually gets pretty packed on Friday and Saturday. Ambiance is closer to a dive club than a premier club. Drinks are a bit expensive, but not really more expensive than other clubs. Club is well staffed and has never b.s.‘d me, despite being there many times. If I had two wishes to improve this club, I would say I wanted better music genre&mixing and a darker ambiance. Both music and ambiance are decent, but I’ve been in bars which had better music and ambiance. TBF, I’m just too white to be grinding to gangster rap, unless I’m in a room with extremely poor lighting!

good god! Hamilton has the famous African Lion Safari and the Liquid Kitty. Both require maneuvering through a strange landscape with some sort of protection. Both have rare jungle cats. Oh man I can keep this analogy going forever… both are pretty dirty. Both will teach you as much as you want to learn about the animal world. Ok I’m done but seriously, this place is out of this world bad. We went there knowing this full well, two guys and 4 girls, but it was almost at the point where it was too bad to enjoy it. Like a ring of dudes leering from pervert’s row, and I swear to god every single time one of our ladies got lost from the pack you’d see eyes locking on… single guys walking towards them… I had to cock block my girlfriend about seven times, hopefully she appreciates that. Nothing good to say about the music and echo the comments about bouncers. So if you’re looking for a good bad club where you can go with a group and get down and laugh with and at people, don’t go here. Oh and don’t go to the African Lion Safari either! Lions do NOT belong on dingy soccer fields in southwestern Ontario.

The below reviewer is on the money regarding«dick» bouncers. We first tryed to get in through the bar above(around last call to boot), and he got in our face stating they were already at capacity… not even close. So we went around to another entrance where we walked right in. The place is big, but basically an older crowd. It is quite a sausage market though, as dudes crowd around looking to pick up anything with a pulse. Pathetic really… however amusing at times. It kind of reminds me why I don’t go to places like this much anymore.

First things first – I am NOT a club person. I don’t like dancing, I barely like drinking, and I especially don’t like club music. Why did I go then? To see my friend play his first gig with his new band at this bar! Atmosphere was great… its large, and being Christmas time they’ve decorated the bar really beautifully, actually. Better looking inside than I’d anticipated. If you don’t feel like dancing, there are couches and comfy benches lining the side walls so you can just relax and people-watch. This place is GREAT for that. My one complaint? The Security guys. I was inside early since my friend was setting up his stuff, and the bar was COLD. There was cool air coming out of the vents, and there was NOONE else in the entire bar. A security guy comes up to me and my friend and says«You guys need to check your coats», and I was like…“Well I’m still pretty cold and I might be going in and out of the bar, so I don’t want to check it yet” and he would have none of it. I said, «Well I would like to keep my jacket on because I’m cold» and he goes«Well I’m not sure what to say to that so please just check your coat». My friend in the band just let us keep our coats with his stuff. I kept my scarf on for spite(it actually was COLD). After coming back inside during the break, we head back down to the lounge(with coats on) and a security guard FOLLOWS us down the stairs and says«You guys HAVETOCHECKYOURCOATS!» and we were like«RELAXWITHTHEJACKETS… we’re with the band, we’ll leave them with the band» and the guard just obviously ROLLEDHISEYES at us and walked away. While inside I saw quite a few guys with their coats still, which pissed me right off. End note? MAKESURETODRESSWARMLYINTHEBAR if you go here, and bring money for forced-coat-check. ugh!
