Friday, July 15, 2022 Stopped with my wife to have a cocktail. We got there at about 6pm. My goodness! The place was absolutely packed, we got the only table open, near the pull tab booth. Correction, the cardboard crack booth! Not sure, but I think thereare about a thousand bras fastened to the ceiling. Maybe the ladies get a free drink in exchange for their bra, I don?t reallyknow. We did enjoy our short time there. Great drinks.

DeRoy is an excellent Bartender and very helpful! I love his personality and kindness. His humor is fun too. He was great when I called to ask if I could pre order my Lobster Mac and Cheese because the kitchen was closing soon. Upon my arrival he was verycordial and provided prompt service for the remainder of the evening. He even walked me out the door and made sure I got to myvehicle safely. THANK YOU DEROY! I will be back for more L.MAK and your fun bartending!!!! ?

Fantastic dive bar! It's small and usually incredibly busy so go in knowing that sometimes there is a wait with how often the staff can check on you. They never have forgotten anything and once good is ordered it's usually real quick. More importantly consistently great! Tried the new lobster poutine and omg. I didn't know I needed Taleggio gravy in my life. The mac and cheese is a standard and I always need to grab some too. From someone who likes to find a deal it's not too expensive if you stay away from the lobster, but I think the lobster poutine was a fantastic purchase for the price.

Lived in the apartments near this bar for a year. I don't live there anymore, but this is still my go-to bar. Good vibes, smack-shack on deck. The lobster Mac goes crazy, ask Guy.
