The music was a bit louder than I prefer, but it didn't take away too much from the overall atmosphere. The food was solid--my favourites were definitely the burger and the charcuterie, both of which stood out. The Brussels sprouts were just okay in comparison. Service was decent, nothing over the top but perfectly fine. One of the highlights is their happy hour, which offers great value on both food and drinks. Overall, it's a place I'd happily return to.

If you're there during certain times you will also have the pleasure of listening to live music while enjoying your drinks. Unfortunately we just missed the band playing so I can't speak on that. My group and I got a few drinks and they were fruity but we didn't feel like it was anything special. I personally got an orange flavoured drink infused with earl grey and other herbs but it just tasted like orange juice. For the prices on the menu I believe this is pretty reasonable. Nothing on the high end but still some pleasant cocktails.

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 .
