UP BAR + DN LOUNGE
233 Roncesvalles, 416-538-UPDN
VIBE The first floor (called Up Bar) features live bands, while the basement (DN Lounge) is a DJ venue hosting a variety of nights, some focusing on rock, others on hiphop and sometimes house. Looks like a pub on both floors and attracts a young and older clientele. Fairly new and still evolving.
VALUE No cover most nights (and only a small one when there is). Drinks are in the middle of the price range. Not an upscale place, but not a hole either.
BATHROOMS Reasonably clean and functional – not huge, but sufficient. No washroom attendants.
LINEUP If you see one, it may be for just one of the two floors.
