| - Finally checked this place out, which is practically in my neighbourhood. The place was nearly full on a Thursday, so needless to say that they're doing well and probably one of the busiest places in town. Funny enough, it's in a very rundown plaza in a low-traffic area; yet it's very nicely - and recently - decorated.
It's quite a large menu, and you'll even find some 'classier' things you may not expect, such as escargot. That said, we went for very typical after-softball bar food of: wings, poutine and beer. Numerous beer options and about a dozen on tap. They offer an 'XL' platter which is two pounds for $20 - only $8 more than a single pound. The pound is probably one in the classic sense, with about a dozen large size wings (the XL had about 25). A lot of other places are starting to get technical and only offer about 8 or so for a pound, so that's a big plus here. You have about 20 flavours to choose from. The wings were cooked right, with a nice crisp on the outside. I feel they could've used a little more pre-seasoning to move them from 'good' to 'great'.
Poutine was very good. Fresh cut fries and cooked properly. Classic dark gravy with real cheese curd.
Very good impression so far, and though I'm sure I'll be back for the classic bar food options, I'll also want to sample some of their other offerings too.
