I visited Brickhouse for the 2nd time last Friday Aug.7. a friend and myself each ordered a…read morecocktail and an appetizer visited for sometime and got the bill. I did not look it over but after going to my vehicle looked at my messages and realized my credit card was charged 77. For those 4 items. I had appetizer pork burnt ends(mostly fat) with small cup of slaw.(No flavor)my friend had appetizer fish tacos.. with terrible tortilla chips as her side. And 2 Hong Kong ice teas(didn't taste right but drank them). I couldn't believe in this unassuming bar the cost for those 4 items could be so high. After calling the restuarant the bartender explained drinks 16each and appies 16. And 17 respectively. I will not bee going back to. Bbrickhouse. I'd think they believe their establishment should have higher prices than the new places on the water! It's simply stupid. We are talking aaan empty bar and empty restuaant through out the lunch time. And I guess others have already discovered the outrageoys pricing in the old stale bar. You better off anywhere but here. For as long as we sat there the Service was ok.

I went to the Lido for the Updating after-party. By the way, the show at the Rio Theater was…read moreawesome. Anyway, at the Lido after-party one of the women who was a dater on the show showed up. While on stage at the shows she was completely drunk. This woman starts talking to me for a minute and then she mingles with others at the party. A while later I see her and her sister walk towards me so I start talking to her again. I'm a young-looking 61-year-old man and she is 22. At no point did I touch her or ask for her phone number or indicate in any way that I wanted to pursue anything with her. I wanted to talk to her because I found her behavior on stage at the show to be outrageous. She was upset that an older man like me would even talk to her and asked me why I was even at the pub. I told her it's because I like the Updating show and I want to meet Brandon and Harrison, who are the hosts of the show. A few minutes after this conversation, a woman who works at the Lido approached me and asked me to leave. Apparently, that 22-year-old woman complained to the Lido staff that I was harassing her. The Lido staff automatically took her side without hearing my side of the story. On the way out the door, I asked the Lido staff member who asked me to leave to hear my side of the story. She was nice enough to step outside with me to hear me out But then another female staff member who looked very masculine barged out towards us in a very aggressive manner and shouted at me to get the eff out (using the real word, not eff). She wouldn't let me talk to the other staff member who was outside with us. I asked her to hear my side of the story but she became even more aggressive and threatened to call the police. Obviously, in this age of the #MeToo movement, the Lido staff automatically believe anything a woman claims against a man without allowing the man to present his side of the story. Shame on you Lido.

Mixed feelings about this place . There are things I liked ( ambience , prices ,…read morebartender/mixologist currently working's personal flair ) when I visited , however I didn't have the best experience overall . Two stars ( instead of one ) for the bartender trying to make it right by offering me a free shot with my happy hour beverage but honestly I would have rather just been treated better (with a little more consideration) . In the states at "fancy" restaurants and or really popular places ( in general places that take reservations) , a single person would never really be allowed to sit at a larger table or booth, unless extreme circumstances warranted it like they were disabled / had a wheelchair ( which I am ) due to the fact that most likely a larger party who would obviously want to sit together, would need that limited space and it would be awkward to have someone move tables when they were already enjoying their drink or meal to accommodate a larger party. This rule, however doesn't really exist at places like dive bars . In general as most dive bars tended to be sparsely populated ...sitting wherever is not really an issues . In general first come first serve and every man for himself ...is usually the vibe . I arrived here, basically at opening and was there for about 40 minutes when a party of four arrived . All four of them kept looking at my table where I was sitting (the only booth in the small bar) as they were initially forced to sit together at one of the single tables with four chairs . Next thing, I know the bartender comes over to me and apologizes, saying he has to bug me and request that I move to a smaller table because they need the one booth . As I gathered my belongings to move, members of the larger party avoided making eye contact as they some thanked me for moving . Obvious that they were feeling guilt and yet it didn't stop them from claiming the booth I was using as a disabled person . Quite an unpleasant experience . To be fair I get the need to accommodate a larger party but honestly they could've literally just pushed three tables together and arranged the chairs to be three on each side. It would've been a little bit more work, but I think it would have been the fairest solution ..and would have been my solution as the employee working there or if I was a member of the party . It's the entitlement that really bothered me . I think I just come from a place where in certain instances people wouldn't even dare ask .

Ive been supporting this bar for the last 4 years because they know how to get it done! The GM and bar staff are always super kind and continue to have great deals on cheap and affordable drinks. The venue is very spacious so you never have to worry about being close to anyone which makes my company and myself feel safe and the music is great! You can bring food inside the venue as well which I found pretty cool. The location is a bit sketchy to walk away from at night, I would suggest ordering an uber if you're unfamiliar with the area. Music is a big thing for myself to enjoy a night out, so thank you Back and Forth for always having the beats on point!

Ping pong dive bar in Gastown area…read more Parking is available on the streets. Sketchy neighbourhood. The inside is definitely divey. Floor is sticky. Tables are sticky. Ping pong balls are sticky. Basically reminds me of the Met, but with ping pong. Staff are friendly. Beers are a bit pricey. The ping pong area has a cosmic theme, with some black light I think. The ping pong balls are orange, and seemed to glow a bit. Good for some casual fun. Just try not to get too tipsy when playing.

However, the reality is they only play 1 playlist that is 95% Taylor Swift (not even her country album), Sabrina Carpenter and the same 2 Shania Twain songs.
