La MUSIQUE à tue-tête est décidément TROP FORTE. Je sais : c'est notre époque criarde qui veut ça (Faites du bruuuiiiit !). Mais inutile d'en rajouter. Tout le reste, ça va : service courtois, bonnes bières, spectacle sympathique, prix abordables.

Musique plus télé - trop bruyant. Une demande de baisser le son de la télé refuser ! La mayo n'avait pas le goût d'une vrai mayo 🤔 ? Laitue iceberg & fromage orange en tranche dans le hamburger 🤨. C'est terminé pour nous !

Super pour une clientèle de cégepiens! La nourriture était très correcte (bon rapport qualité prix), les bières étaient bonnes & la terrasse à l'arrière est plutôt chouette. Mais les tables sont minuscules (pas super pour un repas pour 4), la musique est agressante & le service, bien que courtois, est assez maladroit. On y retourne...pour une bière sur la terrasse en fin d'après-midi.
