TLDR:
If
you
ever
come
by
and
the
bouncer/owner
is
an
older
bald
man
(Stephano
or
something
equivalent),
leave
and
head
somewhere
else.
You'll
save
yourselves
time
and
money,
and
as
a
bonus
the
owner
won't
have
a
chance
to
film
you.
I
have
lived
in
Ottawa
for
nearly
10
years
and
there
is
a
reason
I
have
not
been
here
until
recently.
Will
not
be
returning.
As
soon
as
I
stepped
in
with
my
friends,
the
bouncer
(who
shortly
thereafter
revealed
himself
as
the
building
and
business
owner)
tried
to
intimidate
us
and
overcharge
us.
The
coat
check
employee
didn't
seem
to
know
any
prices
and
would
ask
the
bouncer/owner
for
the
final
price,
and
they
tried
to
charge
us
$30
per
entry
ticket
with
coat
check.
Obviously
it's
a
scam
and
the
prices
depend
on
the
owner's
mood
(others
have
suggested
he
is
racist
or
homophobic).
When
we
asked
why
we
couldn't
bring
our
coats
in
with
us,
the
owner
said
that
"it
was
policy"
and
then
told
us
to
leave.
That
alone
would
have
been
understandable,
however
he
was
incredibly
rude
and
arrogant.
Since
some
of
us
had
pre-purchased
tickets,
we
were
'allowed'
to
enter.
Later
on,
he
started
filming
my
friend
with
his
phone
and
ignored
us
when
we
asked
why
he
was
filming
without
consent.
Never
returning,
I
hope
you
read
this
review
and
save
yourselves
a
terrible
night
out!
Plenty
of
other
venues
in
downtown
Ottawa
that
will
treat
you
well
and
with
respect.
