Doors Pub: Taco Joint & Metal Bar — Restaurant in Hamilton

Bad blood. I can't recommend it in good conscience. This place used to be okay. I was a regular once. Then they called the police on me after I threatened to call the police on THEM. At first the staff was fair and the food was good, the prices were good. Then one night, after I was grabbed by the doorman who had acted trollish to me in the past, I went home mad and wrote a comment on my private Facebook page about the way I've witnessed hard drug dealing in the side yard. Oh were they angry. Their friends tore me apart, and the owner, Ty, has made me into a scapegoat, saying that my Facebook reviews were a threat to their business... so they called the cops on me to ban me from the premises. A little over-defensive, are we? All because I mentioned that hard drugs were being dealt there. I was nice enough not to even indict the drug dealers. I'm a threat to your business, Ty? No. Your business practices are your own worst enemy. One day you'll be caught and you'll be sorry. Weed is fine, but hard drugs ruin lives. I've witnessed it. Do you think it's funny to blame a whistleblower who talks about your own seedy underbelly? You just want to write off the junkies who are struggling with a legitimate addiction? That's not very humanitarian. In fact, that makes you a sucky human being. All you had to do was listen to me and speak to me privately. Now I'm disappointed and disgusted at what you allow. It's too bad, because I LOVED this place. Not anymore. Listen to Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood" and you'll get the...

Going to this place resulted in one of the worst nights I've ever experienced in a Hamilton bar (or restaurant, or ANYthing). This place is foul; there is NOTHING to recommend in this dismal little hole. The couple who were "running" the place the night I went were a pair of odious little turds who could barely be bothered to raise their eyes from their phones to address the needs of the few customers who had bothered to come. If these people are employed by the owner, they should be fired ASAP. If these people WERE the owners, well I look forward to seeing your business fail. The food was horrible. I immediately wished I hadn't ordered any food and just stuck to the overpriced beer. My partner was sick for three days straight after eating here, and I very much wish we had taken steps to provide samples and report this place at the time. Note as well - roaches were spotted in the bathroom. I can't stress this enough - this place is utterly horrid and not worth even a moment of your time. THERE ARE OTHER MEXICAN JOINTS ON HESS and also close by on King . There is no need to ever darken the doorway of this disgusting pit, this sorry excuse for a restaurant. I have had some disappointing experiences, but this is honestly the first time I have HATED an experience at an establishment in Hamilton. They will never see my money again, and I have been doing my best to spread the word to everyone I know. Avoid this...

Came in with my girlfriend. Really not a fan. Signs say it’s a bar and taco joint but the menu I was given only showed one type of taco and one type of nachos. I don’t know if it was just a limited covid menu or what since it has been a while since we were in. The bartender was very standoffish and he didn’t seem to want us there. There were 2 other people behind the bar he was talking to and anytime I went to the bar to order a drink they looked annoyed I was interrupting their conversation. Signs behind the bar state “No Racism, No Sexism, No homophobia” but didn’t really feel like a friendly space. Bathrooms were horrifying. Broken mirrors and sinks. I understand there’s a certain aesthetic for this place but it still needs to be functional. Also the table next to me definitely looked and sounded underage based on conversations they...
