Nice spot next to have a drink and smoke by the water. Little expensive but worthwhile if you’re having issues in the city ;)

“Bar with lake view”
Sep 2019
It was a nice place with a good view straight to the lake. When I entered the place, it was like mostly nothing and no customer at the first and second floor, everybody just went up to the top for the good view and to smoke. I don't smoke but then it was nice because it helped me prevent smoke from other people. My drink was quite nice but strong with tequila but the special drink of them that day was terrible . It's the mix of Earl Grey tea, coffee and something. Music was ok. The staff was friendly with big smile all the time.

Do not go here
Sep 2019
Do not go here! I was drugged by this place last night. Everyone thought I was going to die. The staff put something in my drink. Do not support this mafia ran bar.

Yes, you can buy weed here
Jul 2019 • Solo
Just say weed to staff there. 300k dong for bag around one gram. Quality is too bad 2 from 5, aka hand picked from the street mixed seeds, roots and leafs. If you use half of the weed on joint with tobacco it will work. If you have other choices try to avoid this place.

Worst experience ever.
Jul 2019
The worst experience in my life. I was visiting to check it out, not only were the waiters rude. But we we’re locked in the bar and not permitted to leave!!!! 1st we were sitting outside then we were forced in bec the police was passing. Then 10min later the metalic door closes locking everyone in while the bar man my door is broken wait 1 hour . Ofc i threatened to call the police but the guy didn’tcare around half an hour later they fixed the door, even tho they didn’t apologize. Never go there again.

Not listening to reviews on this place
Jun 2019 • Friends
This place is not bad at all as long as u are respectful and u are buying a beer and not taking up seating for nothing u will have no problem at all. In this place everyone says it's this bad or that bad but the reality is u can smoke in peace here, and as long as you are not a mutt of a human u really should be fine. Alberta canada

Bartender and owner started waving around knives trying to lock everyone inside
Feb 2019 • Friends
A guy blacked out from a balloon and when he fell he cracked the small lower window on an interior door. I went to the bathroom and when I came out saw the owner kick the window breaking it, then grab and axe and try to lock everyone inside while the bartender was waving around a meat cleaver.
Along with all the stories I keep hearing about things getting stolen there, wouldn't recommend drinking at a place where the owner and staff are so unhinged as to start attacking customers with weapons over a verbal dispute concerning a $20 window.
We weren't even with the guy that fell over and still had to get involved once he tried to lock us all in.

Horrible!
Sep 2016 • Friends
The place is filthy and the food is nasty. The drinks are spiked and tampered with.
Don't go there for the sake of your safety. Go next door. Good drinks and very clean.
