Bluegrass Brunch at 10am was a fantastic experience. Young families with kids running around and dancing. Excellent food. Capable competent service. Wonderful bluegrass by Unseen Strangers. Great to see proper sound reinforcement early morning so your breakfast is not washed out by music. Absolute recommend.

Was once the best guaranteed place for awesome live music. Routinely now hires bands (even on a Saturday night) that feel like the best Oshawa has to offer for retirees and parents out for a pub night. This bar has more caché than it is utilising. Step it back up kids. No need for things to suck this much.

Awesome country bar in the heart of the city. Come here for beers and live music. No food on site- atleast during the live show I went to- but you can bring food in or order pizza to the bar.

Great venue for live music! The atmosphere is amazing, especially love the twinkle lights. Staff was lovely, the lady working the bar was very helpful. My only complaint is that alcohol was incredibly expensive, but Toronto is always more expensive. We will be returning :)
