The karaoke experience is fun but the food takes way too long to arrive & it's not good at all.

Nous y venons lors de chaque séjour à Québec. Le show de stand-up du jeudi a été comme toujours très bon. C'est une bouffe bistro correcte. Une mention spéciale pour les bouchées de poulet Teriyaki & les cocktails . Le staff est très gentil.

Petit bar avec beaucoup d'ambiance. J'y étais pour une projection de courts films suivi d'une soirée karaoké. En repassant devant en fin de soirée, il semblait avoir beaucoup de plaisir à l'intérieur. Belle découverte de mon court séjour à Québec!
