X-Tra Special

XV Beacon (Wine Cellar) – March 19, 2009
Group Size ~ 60

Ambience – Moo’s wine cellar and bar is filled with fancy wine, ceiling to floor. Beautiful interior and a classy setting for a small sit-down dinner or cocktail party.

Bottom Line – Creative drinks and fun menu but be prepared to drop a few bucks at this establishment.

Cheers to – Having a private area and the incredible participation in the Y Bar Penny Wars! Jeers to – The waitstaff.

Overall Rating


Ashley says… Although the private space was nice and the cocktail menu was fun, it’s not somewhere I’d go again because of the way we were treated by the staff. Despite what Mooo thinks, there are a lot of other places in the city that are just as good and these places actually make you feel welcome.

Leslie says… It pains me to say this because XV Beacon/Moo is a kind of place I love. Even though I don’t mind the occasional over-priced drink if the ambiance is worth it (and makes no mistake, Moo is stunning and the wine cellar makes you fee like a VIP), I couldn’t get over how pretentious the wait staff was. They couldn’t hide their disdain for our group the entire evening. Someone should remind that they are in the service industry.

Jessica says… We had a great night at the Wine Cellar despite feeling like we were forced to walk on eggshells. The location is truly beautiful, and it was great to have such a unique private space.

Overall Rating


Ashley says…The staff was great to work with and really hooked us up with a good space! The owner was around to make sure we were doing alright, which was really nice. The highlight of that evening: $6 steak tips!

Leslie says…Woe is me, I wasn’t at Whitehorse…but need to get there for those steaktips!

Jessica says… What a fun night! Whitehorse was a great home for ABC, with lots of reserved space and tons of delicious drinks. Snaps to the dance party!
