An interesting place for DJs. The bottle service was a really fun night out, they're definitely on top of it. I did not enjoy the bathroom situation. While I understand the need for unisex, it's also important for women to have a private space too. The bathrooms just smell so awful, I didn't enjoy having to use a toilet that a man urinated all over.

Your most favourite DJ isn’t worth going to this place. No seating. Co-ed bathrooms, which is no problem until someone starts being creepy. And it always happens. Sound quality also sucks. Walk 50ft down 8th and you’ll find something better.

definitely we enjoyed the songs and we danced. Worth trying. Just be aware the tip is on the bill if you have a table. We ended paying 40 percent tip!

Security was best part of service. Courteous, kind and careful. Floors could use better mopping before dance event. Snobby be the bartenders because the bar is well stocked .....standard per se....nonetheless, the venue itself is enjoyable as is the solid architecture of yore beneath The Bay. Dojo's return as production and music promotion was well suited and sound was en pointe.

I had made a reservation over two months prior for a bachelorette, when I emailed the venue to confirm they had told me that there was a private event taking place and that we didn’t have a reservation for that evening. I was then put into contact with the manager who then gave a wrong date and wrong group number for our reservation that he claimed was in the reservation list. After correcting the date and number of people in our party, he then stopped replying. We have a number of people flying into YYC to attend this bachelorette which is now in two weeks, and this venue has left us completely scrambling. Very unprofessional and shocking.

Gorgeous little venue. Great shows. A fun place to pop in when walking down Stephen Ave.

O&B staff always go the extra mile for their guests, making sure every person is taken care of. We held a private event in this space and it was very special.

I have been to this place so many times, this has been my favourite place till tonight, the worst experience I can ever imagine. All the staff were unprofessional and rude. The manager is a complete joke, unprofessional and racist. If you coloured person don’t go there, she will make you pay for things you didn’t even order, she will make you pay for her mistake. She will lie, I would never go there again. I was there with my few friends, and we never ordered a bottle of vodka, she made one of my friend to pay $240 for something we never ordered. She showed us some fake footage of the camera. It doesn’t even shows anything clearly, I can’t believe this, If the owner or anyone in the management who cares about this, please let me know, i would love chat with someone.Mahasin

Wanted to join my friends here on New Years, but unfortunately didn’t get a 30 dollar entrance ticket online in time.Once my friends got there they called and said you still were selling tickets at the door (guess you didn’t have a sold out night after all)Which I thought.. well 50 dollars tops…So, I ubered downtown stood in line. And was asked for 90 dollars at the door, which I asked if that came with any complimentary champagne or drinks, your door staff laughed in my face.I left (obviously) walked to a neighbouring bar where I was greeted with NO cover, awesome music, a free shot from the bartender as well as a couple glasses of champagne.I get what you guys are trying to do here.. The discreet sign at the front to keep yourselves “exclusive”, the prices of your drinks from your incredibly rude bartenders, and door staff that will laugh in your face when you question a 90 entrance fee. But trust me I’ve been all over the world, and places like this don’t last long.Hope the “influencers” that become attracted to this club open their eyes soon.
