Full disclosure I went here for an office event. I wasn't sure what to expect given that this bar…read moreis on the second and third floor of the building and only a doorway is there to acknowledge it's existence. If you decide to visit you will likely be on the second floor. I was able to sneak down and check it out but I didn't fully experience the main part of this establishment. However the decor inside is great and sets a nice vibe. Staff are friendly and there's a lot of selection and they do cater to vegans. Lots of great areas in this space for hanging out or even playing games. The third floor as I found out is for private events and is the top floor of the building. It's a fairly large space so if you are interested in having an event this place could fit the bill. Again some very interesting decor makes the space warm and welcoming. Special secret hint apparently you can also rent out the 3rd floor on Airbnb as well. We found a fully furnished bedroom and of course had to ask what was up with that. If you are looking for a great place to hang that maybe not everyone else has found out about yet this is a pretty good place although the popularity tells me it won't be that unknown for too long.

Love it here! Had our TIFF Hollywood North Launch party here and Diane & Ron were amazing! Bravo!!read more

Being an entirely student led production we were a bit all over the place at times, but ira the venue manager was so kind and understanding and helpful to us at all points in the process. Hayden is a god w the lighting setup and helped us so much in getting the venue to replicate the vision we had in our heads. Alyssa was so kind and made all of our guests feel so welcome. Additionally, I'm not sure of his name but their security was also AMAZING and really helped us out in ensuring that all of our guests and team members felt safe and comfortable throughout the whole event. IF YOU GO TO GEARY MAKE SURE TO TELL THESE 4 AMAZING PEOPLE THAT VEFS LOVES THEM AND GIVE THEM A BIG TIP!!! We you Ira, Hayden, security guy and Alyssa!!!!

Everyone is super friendly and welcoming and it's the most inclusive, positive environment I've ever seen.

Not only are their…read moreprices really great, Logan and his team made the whole event run so smoothly we didn't really have to do much ourselves. Best of all they are located right on the water!! All of the guests commented on how nice it was to have a waterfront wedding venue within the city as it felt like you were up north at a cottage without the drive (and Uber friendly). There were no lines at the bar as I've experienced at some weddings, coordination of vendors was all taken care of and they even were accommodating with our all our drink choices and made some custom cocktails for us. Highly recommend at least giving them a look and if you can get in you won't regret it!

Book your art event now, so their promo says, and I went to a music event with multiple acts, all for $10 at the door, and unquestionably great value for the cash spent. When I went it was BYOB which was fine, and limiting the amount of alcohol around probably isn't the worst thing. It's in the basement and my Fido service ended so keep that in mind. Others seemed to have no problem. Great layout with one room as the lobby with coat check, and roomy bathrooms off the the side, and the larger room adjoining for the entertainment. At the far end away from the stage, there's a smaller room as well, with a couch for lounging. Since there is no green room the bonus is that you get to talk to and meet the talent. Careful not to bother the neighbours if you go out front and hang out on the street.
