    B-Side

    You don't care about the single, you like what's under it: records weren't always for Urban-Outfitter-inspired wall decorations. Straying McGill students and other scruff-and-meander Montrealers fill this rock-ish lounge on a nightly basis. Expect a deep-beat-less shrug, loud-strum, and pick vibe. In the summertime, find a spot on the view-heavy roof-top terrace where you can discuss the ascent of the proletariat, Boomer failings or subversive pint-selection; because A-Sides are for sloths and philistines.

    Upon approaching the door at 1230am on a Saturday I noticed that not one person was waiting to enter. Regardless of this I was forced to ask the Bouncer "whats the deal" because standing right in front of him was not enough to warrant even a glance or partial acknowlegement. I was then told that the "line" was at the other end of the rope and humoured him by walking to it. I can understand that some places have an image to uphold, that they cater to specific clients, be it the elegant and trendy or simply the kids with their parents cards demanding a table for lets say, Greygoose service. However when a Bouncer in an attempt to impress others decides to mock, ridicule or humiliate people who want to be paying customers, I tend to get upset. This particular dude made it his duty to inform everyone outside, although at the time it was just me and a male friend, that unless your with a girl youre not getting in. Fine I understand how the game is played, yet after saying this, within 30 seconds 3guys roll up, acuantinces of the bouncer, and proceed to be let in. This bouncer then goes on to make gay-related jokes about how theyre opening a location in the village for all the guys not accompanied by girls. I myself am not homosexual, yet comments like this get to me because they are just so wrong on so many levels. Im sure the owner of this establishment would not endorse this type of behaviour. St. Laurent street has plenty of places that require a connection to get into, this place here should not attempt to live by these rules considering the clientele that I saw 4minutes later inside when the girls we were meeting told the other bouncer we were here to see them before he opened the rope for us to cross through. The majority of the people inside were either American of from Toronto, its tough to distinguish them, and most of which appeared to be a young 18years old. On top of this the amount of people inside had me wondering why they were trying to prevent guys from entering, when they should not have been letting anyone else in because the capacity in there must have been violating a fire code. If your into places that are a shout out to grade 6 socials you should check out B-Side. Just be prepared to listen to the stand-up comedy routine of the bouncer outside, which with the right attitude, is probably more entertaining then the dancing circle of kids singing along to "walking on sunshine" inside.
