House of TARG

Live music venue

👍👍 We love House of TARG. The food and drinks are great and the venue is very memorable. They have a great selection of pinball machines and classic arcade game cabinets.

Bronson Centre

Live music venue

👍👍 The staff. Let's talk about how fundamentally human, helpful and kind the staff are here. Extremely impressed with them. Sound was to be expected in a smaller venue.

Marzitelli

Italian restaurant

Instead what I got was Canadian style pizza. Ok not a huge deal….. but the pizza was just terrible, the pizza...
