This is cool as a music fan, however, a lot of the structure and purpose has gone downhill. I have used it as event spaces and fairs back in the day, however, there are so many things that need improvement to make it safe and sound. Great for local punk shows even though it is small. I remember seeing a lot of all ages punk bands here back in the 90’s. Sadly this place has been dormant for a while. I am not sure if it is in use or just collecting rent, however, we need some more shows in here.

Dead. As. A. Doornail. Apparently once a good place. Now gone and dead. No web presence. No phone number. Nothing. Too bad.

Holy hell, where has this little gallery been all of my Vancouver-living life? Minimal because it has to be, cool because they care, fun because of their opposition, Little Mountain is *such* a breath of happiness and relief in a what is a long string of pseudo-art spaces in the city. With what I’m sure are plywood walls, it’s not much to look at, and the seating situation is painfully uncomfortable(plastic fold up chairs from Ikea, methinks), but the people who run this bad boy know what’s up. Reminiscent of one-off art shows in Montréal, Little Mountain puts the emphasis on the art, the show, the performers — not on making the place look«cool.» A rad little music space; a perfect gallery to drink bad wine out of plastic cups in; a good venue to watch a Beckett classic. Much respect, Little Mountain — especially in a city where the exact minimal, DIY, put-your-attention-on-the-art feel they’ve achieved(on what I’m sure is a less than zero budget) is what every new Portand-esque shop attempts to attain. Money, it would seem, really can’t buy everything.
