Your typical west end dive bar. Once in awhile it’s highly entertaining to check this place out watching the peanut gallery around the bar talk their usual chit about their sex lives, dysfunctional kids and crappy jobs all the while getting thoroughly shined. It seems at times a fight could break out any minute. UPDATE: They’ve since changed their name to the Red Cardinal but really that’s about all that’s changed. The drinks are moderately priced and the food isn’t much to crow about but what really takes away from this place is the scumbag clientele that ranges from the alcoholic old farts who think they own the place because they drink there nightly to the drug dealers who you can see don’t drink very much at all but push the stuff in the darker corners of this place. Karaōke night is particularly disgusting as it was when I was there last and you have guys singing songs with FUCK this and FUCK that in every third line of the lyrics. The people running the karaōke ought to be using more tact on what songs are appropriate for a public audience, especially when the guy singing it is lit like a Christmas tree which only makes it that much more intolerable. Bottom line is if you’re looking for a decent night out for a couple drinks you’re better off heading further down the West Mall to Sherway and hitting up respectable joints like the Bier Markt, Jack Astors or even Canyon Creek.
