What Pamella R doesn't like about Banknote Bar:
Waiter gave us 1 menu to share. Picked it up from a huge pile, so it wasn't out of necessity. Both ladies toilets were broken. Food was bland, air conditioning was turned off halfway through out visit during the heatwave. Staff was cranky. Can't blame them. It was hot! View all feedback.

Banknote, located in Toronto, received mixed reviews from patrons. Some mentioned issues with service, including long wait times, unattentive staff, and rude waitresses. Others complained about bland food, broken facilities, and uncomfortable experiences. However, there were also positive comments about the good food, cold beer, and great atmosphere, especially during hockey Thursday.

Simply very poor service. 15mins after ordering drinks the waiter hadn't even put it through and the place only had a few customers. Very disappointing.
