Owner is super nice and vibes were great!! Come every friday night for disco!
Great music pretty standard bar, nothing on tap but cheap beer.
My friend and I attended the 90s video "dance party" here, and forgive me if I misunderstood, but a dance party should involve music that's at least a bit upbeat - instead their idea was to essentially charge you $10-15 (depending on whim at the door) to watch a '90s grunge, hip hop and rap Youtube playlist up on a projector while everyone sits down in their booths sipping alcohol. There was no energy or fun in the room. If I knew that was the case, I'd be scrolling through Youtube in the privacy of my own home. Pretty lame, and their "yawn" response below shows how unprofessional they are when it comes to constructive criticism.
Went to the PISSton’s so-called 90’s party. They only played hip hop and grunge music on YouTube over a projector screen. No dance music or other variety. A waste and the most boring party ever. And there weren’t any basic bar food like nachos. Yawn.
Disco night on Friday is an absolute must. The staff are super sweet, even on their more hectic nights. Super funky joint
Everything about The Piston is amazing - the music, the staff and the vibes are all impeccable.
Arrived at the venue around 11(ish) to enjoy '"All good 90s Dance Party." Unfortunately, we waited in line for almost 1 hour. It genuinely felt like, “Well we were just going to go to the Roxbury, but we couldn’t get in.” Butabi Brothers - A Night at the Roxbury)A friend inside the venue indicated the venue was following capacity limits, but were certainly not full. My wife commented, "probably understaffed, and could not accommodate the growing crowd." Ultimately, we decided to go elsewhere. My rating is 5 stars, because I support local businesses and do not want to undervalue this magnificent venue. The venue is Awesome! Wonderful owners, talented DJs, affable crowd, affordable drinks, (some of my favorites actually). The Wax Candy Disco, 60s Soul Party, and every third Saturday its 90s Dance Party, are the best in the city. I hope to return soon and contribute to the last authentic bar in Toronto.-- I just hope management has the time to read this and are able to accommodate us next time. Or, or, listen to me for a second. "Make the inside look like the outside and the outside look like the inside." (Butabi Brothers - A Night at the Roxbury) Until next time, keep my draught chilled, will be seeing you real soon.Cheers
Came here the other day and the person at coat check tried to kick me in the face.. obvious to say the staff is not very friendly
cool spot, good music, coat check woman nearly made my friend cry
Fantastic spot for a weekend escape or a night out. I was there for the 90s dance party and it was like going through a time machine. Great music, great atmosphere and great people! Can't ask for more than that!
