Tell that to my mother and law and I, when we waited
in a line get this: after hours on a Thursday (!!) to get a seat at one of your so-called 'low-activity' bars.
And couple that in the summer with 5k people nightly taking in the 'Northern Lights' on parliament hill, absolutely FLOODING sparks street with patrons, and you've got a fantastic summer lineup.
Uhuniau, when's the last time you took in an NAC show and tried to get a drink at D'Arcy Mcgees afterwards? I guarantee you that its difficult to find a seat upstairs and you're stuck with the mop-water smelling basement, unless you keep walking to wait in line at Biermarkt for a table, or heaven forbid try to go to Riviera and get laughed at for not making reservations a month in advance.
How do I know this? Experience.
