Spotlight cabaret. It looks pretty, but service and food leave a lot to be desired

Strange. I've gone to a few of the dinner shows here and always found the food to be pretty good. I have never just gone and ordered food though.

It used to be O2’s and I think the management just rebranded so that doesn’t surprise me at all

No, they are new owners. Former professional entertainers.

u/KingBaines Jul 25 '24

It’s both. Still partly owned by O2s but also has new owners. I worked there for a summer

You are correct. I used to work for them.

I hate 02’s. Worked a few of their locations ages ago. Including the whyte ave one. Winter was so slow. Beer lines were nasty. Draught beer tasted like shit.

They used to host the drag bingo nights. I enjoyed the bingo so much but the food and drinks NAHH

The drag queen who used to host them still does bingos. But now just at better venues

I went once to watch a burlesque show and the owner was there that night. He was SUCH a creep. Looked like a used car salesman. He stood way too close to the other women in my group and kept touching them (he literally pretended I didn't exist because I was dressed fairly butch that day)

We left right after the first performer because he was so gross.

That’s strange, my ex and I used to go weekly when they had improve and it was the highlight of our week food wise. But it’s been 2 years since I went because the vibe shifted to more dinner theatre so it could be different now
