Never been to C'est what or Cloak&Dagger so I can't really comment either way.

I was at The Dark Horse (right by Jane Subway Station) last saturday, and the place was pretty empty.
Booze was moderately priced ($5-6 a pint I think) and the place was completely lacking in personality (but I figure that we can supply that ourselves)

As oldhat commented above, a pleasant night with lovely people. And hey, I was there, too. For once, I didn't make a jackass out of myself. (The Jackass Assembly is dead-simple, on most occasions, as anyone who's ever met me can well attest.)

There were at least ten pitchers. Probably more like fifteen. I was almost worried we didn't tip enough and then I realized "It was the Green Room. They're lucky if the rats don't steal the money off the table." They're lucky we graced their filthy establishment.

I haven't been there on weekends, but apparently it can get kind of hipster-central.

Hex, they have King Pilsner on tap, which I recall you liking. Their tap selection is small but nice, but their bottles, which get pretty damn pricey, are amazing.

Also the big drink is Mad Tom IPA, apparently.

@allana - I can't say for sure yet, but at the moment sleeping in until 3PM doesn't sound half bad...

I'll be dragging a cumbersome and garishly purple trolley suitcase with me, but never mind that.

Also, it seems I may actually be able to get a show in your fair city, but the date/scheduling for that is still totally up in the air. If it seems I'll need to stick around for a longer while waiting for the slot on the club calendar, I'd be happy for hostel/hotel suggestions...

EDIT TO ADD:

In other words, there is no where you will ever go where the people are more friendly or more welcoming. I don't know why that is. Perhaps Canadia is just that cool.
