The Hub

A friend flew into Ontario and wanted to try out this dive bar.
Okay, you can’t expect much from a dive bar but sheesh. The bartenders are sleezy and the place reeks of urine. Extremely humid inside as well. It’s a large and spacious venue. I guess they have a lot of shows here because there’s a stage.
We walked in and immediately right out. We couldn’t take the overwhelming stench. Sorry! I’d take a rundown biker bar any day.

I just came across this place for the first time last night. My friend and I wanted to try something different aside from the usual bar we go to so we came here for a rockabilly record hop event they were hosting. It was quite the distance away from us but it was worth experiencing. It wasn’t very packed, not sure if its always like that or if it was just last night but overall I had a pretty good time.
Parking: Lots of available parking on location. Private lot.
Ambience: In my opinion I think the location is pretty big for a bar, not a dive bar like its been described at all! It has 2 open areas divided by the bar located in the center, the first room is more of a lounging area with comfortable booth looking couches and the second room has a decent sized stage with s large dance floor and available booth seats and tables surrounding it. I didn’t see a smoking patio besides the patio in the entrance so I’m not sure if they had one or not.
Service: Very nice bartenders, no complaints. I only drank one beer so I cant really comment much on the quality of their cocktail drinks.
Restrooms: Small and seemed not very well maintained since the sink was distractingly dirty and there was no toilet paper or seat covers available. Since it was not a busy night I was able to go to the bar, get some napkins and go back in with no trouble at all so I did not mind but I’m sure it would have been quite a nuisance if it were a busy night.
Price: Free entrance, cheap drinks, great music to dance to, good enough for me!

This place smells like piss and the counters are like a candy shop in summer, (I’m talking sticky) the rag used to wipe down was peed on or something because the place stunk like no tomorrow. Overpriced but it got the job done I guess. I guess wearing red suspenders makes you a legit bartender. Won’t be coming back here ever again.

Great bar with cheap drinks, great atmosphere, cool bar staff. Check it out if you’re around the area. Check them out on Facebook.

Cheap Drinks, Cool staff, but Small Bar, Stage had a Strip pole the few times I been there lol,
As an Artist this is one of the worst places to play. its too small, the stage sucks, and the place is just a dive.
I haven’t been there in at least a 3 years tho so maybe its gotten better.

Great comedy night every Wednesday!

Went there for an 80s night, on the first Saturday of the month. It was awesome! Open bar for the first hour and the 80s tunes were the best! I’m going tonight for a siouxsie & the Banshees tribute! Stuff like this doesn’t happen in the I. E too often!!!

I went there for the first time and it was a cool place to be. Great employees cool and friendly people. I will go back soon. I had a good drink. And music was great.

Better than before!
I’m not sure why this place has 4 money signs they have normal priced around 3 — 5 dollars a beer. This place has gotten a lot better than I remember. They now have djs on Thursday nights that play some danceable music and they’re beginning to bring a younger crowd out. I would definitely go back!

I DJ’d here and it is a great place on Thursdays! They are promoting latin nights with free salsa and bachata lessons! I know they are trying to make Thursday’s a friendly fun place and I hope it becomes that! Still a pretty small crowd but I see potential! Come to learn, come to dance, or just come to watch! Here’s to the Hub!
