Canteen Modern Tequila Bar

Caught happy hour here on Sunday. The service was ok and the decor is great. Very nice looking place. The portions of the food are terrible. Even for happy hour they are very small. I had a Margarita and it was really strong, a plus for alot of people, but a negative for me. Overall I probably won't ever come back. Just not for me, better places to go to.

I just want to preface this review by pointing out that I'm talking about Canteen at night instead of Canteen during the day. I do have every intention of seeing what it's like when it isn't being another Mill Ave club, but that's a review for another day.

Canteen just really isn't my scene. The music's a touch too loud inside, so it's impossible to hear anyone speak. And the whole $10 card minimum sucks if all you want is a shot. And, to be completely honest, I prefer the patio to the inside of the bar.

Which isn't to say that Canteen's a bad place. Their margaritas are delicious and while $9 is a little much to pay for a shot of Patron, it also isn't the most I've paid for one.

This is pretty much the only place on Mill Ave. I can tolerate.  I've been here a handful of times and feel the food is pretty good and the margaritas are REALLY good.  The price is reasonable for good Tequila.  The downside for me, being that I don't like bars on Mill Ave. was that this place turned into a club around about 10pm on Friday night.  The music was turned up and we could no longer hear each other speak.  Knowing this I will probably just stick to earlier hours and avoid the weekends all together....
