Cliffside Plaza has everything for the modern shopper. A Rexall; Scotiabank; Dollarama; dentist; Subway Subs; that big canary No Frills; and, most importantly, a dive bar, Al Mac’s Bar & Grill.
Al Mac’s façade sits deceptively docile among those respectable retail chains. Think of a mountain lion staring at you from the bushes before it drags you in. But once you’re inside, it reminds me a bit of a modern Gin Lane by William Hogarth: fiesta, food, fun, and fighting.
If all the world’s a stage then this is dystopian dinner theatre. Best show starts Friday and Saturday nights.
