The Age Clem Bastow, 1-5-2008 "The bar is Sweatshop, in the basement of the building that houses Seamstress on Lonsdale Street - and had said informant also told me I might be able to mix my second favourite drink (vodka) with a Westie, again, without judgement, I would've damn near brought a sleeping bag and toiletries and set up camp. Truly, ladies and gentlemen, I have seen heaven and its name is a supercharged cooler. ... Decoration comes from scrawled-upon walls and pale wooden stools and tables but Sweatshop makes the bar itself a decorative focal point, a quirk that pays off. Low-lit crates housing the spirit collection sparkle like rhinestones and an obelisk-like fridge is covered, shrine-style, by tropicana bits and bobs and, yes, West Coast Coolers; it was as though they knew I was coming."
