Such fun times here…read more Came here to see Die Mannequin On Friday 29th. Since the below Yelpers have done an awesome job at summarizing the place, I shall continue with only focusing the experience of this particular event. The lounge has a parking lot in the back. If you are driving and the lounge is on your left, keep driving, there's a few businesses with parking lots in the back. It's safe to park there. This spot is a few streets down from Hess Village so around 2am there is a fun amount of drunken folks walking around. There's a few food places open late if you do get hungry. The crowd this night The Casbah was a VERY interesting mix. This is because it's usually friends/family of the band members. So don't come expecting a select type of crowd. Anything goes here. Since I've brought up the subject of interesting and anything goes, what's up with all the one way roads in Hamilton? The main street (Casbah located to your right) is ALL one way, so if you are anything like me (meaning - nil-ch sense of direction) be careful... you will most likely be driving/facing ONTO coming traffic. (true story), Thankfully, the people here are quite nice. They waved to me (after I waved.. thinking *gosh they're so nice here* I realized why. Made an illegal U turn mid street. They guided me and THEN laughed. Just use the "I'm not from these parts sir". Works every time. There's no chairs and the stage is quite tiny. They have about 4-5 bands play before the main band comes on stage. So if you are travelling, don't rush. They do check ID and stamp you. The smokers section is decent. Again, no seats. You will be working out your legs, unless your kind of a weirdo like me and plop right on the corner edge of the stage. I found beer to be a bit pricey here. There's only one bar located right on the far right corner of the venue, as soon as you walk in. I can only assume, this is where they make money. The bathroom is dinky. Small with 4 stalls. 3 of them have broken handles. Guys kinda just waltz in here, drunk or trying to help a girlfriend etc. So, be super careful. Ask a girlfriend to keep watch at your stall door. The best part about this place? - there's only 1 bathroom section in the whole place. Meaning, you WILL bump into band members. It's pretty cool. Caroline Kawa from Die was the coolest chick in the world. She helped me fix my hair and was SO down to earth. Now if I could just get Metric to play here so I could bump into Emily Haines, I'd die a desert happy girl. Even with all the sketch guys who overhear you talking about how hungry you are and respectively INSIST on walking down the street to get you a poutine,gawk at you from tiny dark corners , I still like this place. It's got a bit of a grunge feel to it so you can really dress how you want- venture into GaGa Land for the night? - I THINK SO! If you're into rocking out, you'll end up having a good time. If you're female, you'll have an even funner time trying to hide behind big equipment "helping" the band through the back door. Yes ladies, there IS a back door. No need to fret about creepers. Once you walk into the hall to the bathrooms, it's straight ahead. No alarms so you can push and run out onto a parking lot facing the main street. You can park here so you can get right into your car. They thought of everything. I like that. xoxo M.

I could genuinely rave about Reservoir Lounge forever. It's such a unique spot, and I don't think…read moreI've been anywhere else in Toronto quite like it. The underground setting, live swing music, and overall atmosphere make it feel like you've stepped into a different era. We ordered the charcuterie board, grabbed some drinks, and ended up having one of the most memorable nights I've had in a long time. Danny B and his band were incredible. They had so much energy, and by the end of the night the entire bar was singing along with them. It just felt like the kind of place where everyone was there to have a good time, and it made the whole experience even more special. If you're looking for something different from the usual bars in Toronto, I can't recommend Reservoir Lounge enough. It's a place I know I'll keep coming back to, and it's a night I won't forget.

The menu is complete wrong, they don't sell labbat products as listed, they now sell Molson. No big deal. We changed our order. The waiter then brought our drinks several minutes later. And took our food order. While we were waiting we saw the tables next to us, who were seated well after us get drinks and food. We ended up going to the bar to order more drinks, as our waiter never returned. The bar never sent the drinks. We waited 1 hour and 15 mins for part of our food to arrive, with the drinks we had ordered 30 mins before. I don't know how the band was, because I left. I would never go back here.

The one band we listened to the woman's voice was unbelievable. It was just a great time sitting and relaxing, people watching. Oh and listening to music. Weather was also perfect for the whole weekend.

As for the food, I ordered their ARTIC CHAR and it was *chef's kiss* cooked to perfection and all the roasted Brussel sprouts & orzo worked deliciously together. My friend got their SEAFOOD LINGUINI which she liked. Definitely would love to return here for a family night out or date night, I already have my eye out on their pizzas :) ALSO, Shout outs to the owner of the restaurant.

It's also the best food we've had since returning from Paris. The quality, flavours, presentation, and atmosphere transported us right back to dining in Paris. Everything we ordered was incredible. The oysters were fresh and beautifully presented, the charred octopus was cooked perfectly, the potato gnocchi was rich and delicious, and the branzino was tender and full of flavour. The true highlight of our evening was Andrew's exceptional service. Although it was our first visit, he made us feel as though we had been coming to Terra for years. He welcomed us with genuine warmth and treated us like family from the moment we arrived. He was attentive, personable, knowledgeable, and incredibly thoughtful without ever making us feel rushed. Andrew anticipated everything we needed, offered wonderful recommendations, and made the entire evening feel personal and special. His hospitality transformed an amazing dinner into an unforgettable experience. Service like his is rare, and he is a huge reason Terra has become our new favourite spot.

The seats were incredible and we had a fantastic view of the stage from the left centre orchestra. When I looked up, I was surprised to see that the hall appeared bigger than the TSO. There were multiple decks of seats and many people could fit into the venue. The employees were all very friendly and the beverages were well priced. We found it challenging to park in the area due to all of the traffic and one way streets but once we found the entrance to the hall (we first went in the wrong door) it was a pleasant experience to the very end. I noticed people dressed up more for the symphony here than they do in Toronto, which is an interesting observation. Would we return? Absolutely!
