Great space that has been mishandled. Subpar entertainment and theme nights. Cheap food nights are met with a purposefully limited and expensive drink menu. Staff is decent but usually over worked in the evening, and decor/aesthetic of space is okay. Your DJs aren't worth a cover charge and no one is emo anymore! No sense of community since rockin for dollars left. I have a hard time finding an ex...

Went to Modern Love last night to see an acoustic rock concert. The bass from the EDM playing on their patio upstairs was very distracting and annoying considering it took away from the experience we paid for. The artists mentioned speaking to the management, but nothing was done. Shame. No food was served and the bar had very limited drink options, with more than half the canned beverage opti...

The toonie Tuesday hamburger has paper-thin patty. Looks sad and a pity to eat. Then they overcharge you on the side dishes, and finally gouge you by claiming their receipt machine doesn’t print. Passing by a burger place next door afterwards, and you realize you could have had a decent burger by paying the same price. This completes the whole bad experience at Modern Love.

Came here just after opening on a rainy day to do some work. Power outlets everywhere! Great specials as well. I had nachos with pico de gayo and it was awesome. Ewan provided awesome service and is a great conversationalist as well; give that guy a raise! Keep rockin!

Holy cow the burger I ordered was beyond delicious. Two perfectly seasoned smash patties surrounded by the softest, fluffiest brioche bun... feels like my cold, dead soul being surrounded by a comforting electric blanket... Not sure if this burger "The Hasselhoff" is a regular menu item as it looks like i popped in during a transitional menu period... but i hope they keep it. Band was great too!...
From May to September, arrive early for a spot on the sunny rooftop deck. In winter, stick to indoor events as the patio closes when temperatures drop.
