Not me personally, but my dad said he used to go there when he was young. It had its heyday back in the days of World War II and shortly after. Apparently it used to be quite a happening place, with big-name jazz greats like Glenn Miller and Guy Lombardo. I've found other references to it online that say that early rock and roll bands played there in the 1950s. Even our great Canadian power trio Rush played there in 1975, early in their career. I'm not sure when it closed for good, but it must have been in the late 70s or early 80s.
