Attached to the hotel, the Astoria pub is an impressive sized pub with a big dance floor, stage, lounge and pool tables. In recent years, with the new attractions of the Strathcona neighbourhood and ambitious promoters, the Astoria has developed a thriving music scene. Today it’s regulars are either east side stragglers or a young hip crowd who come for live music acts and DJs.

From the outside, only a small red light and door backing onto an auto repair parking lot marks this hipster bar.

Following the stairs down to the basement is a long and narrow lounge (ah, yes, apt name). There’s a bar on one side and tables on the other.

The Narrow Lounge gets very busy on the weekends as people back into this small space. A small menu serves up sufficient means for a meal and all throughout the week, djs spin music to create a lougey ambience.
