Awesome atmosphere! Great drinks and staff. Being visitors from the USA we were welcomed and had a great night
Early in March I hosted a large group at both Cathedral and Scotland Yard. Dan and the entire team, worked with us extensively in preparation for a wall-to-wall turnout. Our group had a fantastic time, with great food and a staff that worked incredibly hard. Our guests said they enjoyed their time and also commented how engaged and friendly the staff was with everyone. Excellent job in managing hundreds of people over the course of a great evening.
I visited this place for a comedy show few days back. I was surprised at the place infrastructure, I didn't expect it to be this good.The seatings were less, can't blame them, because the event was free, I got a seat finally after like 2.5 hours, the show was almost done by that time too x . The Comedy Show was great. I had ordered some food, that was great too. The service was good, one staff was like really rude, but can't blame the entire staff for just one guy. Definitely worth coming to atleast once.
Great environment. Great staff. Specifically their bartender Axel. Honestly, he is one of if not the best bartender I've ever had the pleasure of being served by. His attention to detail and service blew me away. Truly made it fun to just sit at the bar, and he turned a random walk in for a beer into a really awesome experience. Between him and the other guests who were great to talk to. The food from Sphagetti Factory was delicious as well. Their happy hour from 4 till 9pm made their prices really reasonable too. 10/10 will visit the next time I'm on the Esplanade.
This place is so fun! Hailey was awesome, and Z is the best bartender. The atmosphere makes this place like the Madonna inn of Toronto, which is a compliment. If you’ve been to Bubbas in Portland you’d love it here, or if you’re someone who was brought up Catholic and has lapsed haha. There’s a confessional. The DJ crushed it.
went here after a conference and had the best time dancing and drinking. Highly recommend this place!
Axl is the man, and this bar is so fun and classy with the stained glass decor. 10/10 any day of the week. Best service. Best happy hour! Thank you guys!
The vibe is soooo AMAZING!!! food and service were great(special thanks to the bartender with long hair). Also, I really enjoyed the jazz performance. I wish more bands like them do more performances here. Definitely coming back again next time.
