| - Came here for a trivia night for the first time. The atmosphere at the pub was welcoming, plaid pattern carpeted floor, old portrait paintings on the wall, Christmas trees and decoration around. I ordered Crispy Calamari and 5 for $20 appetizers which consisted of Popcorn Shrimp, Crunchy Nacho Cheese Sticks, Mini burger and Fries, Giant Pretzel, and Crispy Dry Ribs. The pretzel was warm and soft, but a bit too salty. My favourite was the dry ribs, flavorful, light and crispy. The popcorn shrimp had too much sweet chili sauce over it and made the deep fried dish soggy. The breading ratio was also too much, rendering the small shrimps tasteless and hard to notice. Overall the food was decent for pub food, For drinks I had Spicy Bloody Caesar and The Woo Woo. The Caesar was supposed to come with a skewer of pickle, cherry tomato, olive and lime, but my drink came only with a lime wedge and a celery stick. This drink was ok, but I preferred the sweet mixture of The Woo Woo - Smirnoff, peach schnapps and cranberry juice. The trivia event was entertaining and the host was funny. Our servers were friendly and attentive, even with a full house of customers. It was a fun night and we enjoyed our stay here. Would like to come back for the half-priced wine bottle before 4 p.m. some other time.
