| - My go to neighbourhood bar for St. Patrick's Day 2014. Me and my friends headed out here for a pint of Guinness that somehow turned into 4 pints of Guinness and sharing some bright, multicoloured nachos.
This bar is located a little back from the road on Kennedy just South of 14th (in the same plaza as the Dairy Queen/Subway). It's actually in a historic building which is pretty unique for pubs in the area. So rather than the faux-aged look at many of the local pubs, Firkins, etc. you have a building that is authentically old complete with creaky stairs, tight spaces, old wood everywhere, and a great atmosphere.
The food and drink is nothing that out of the ordinary for a pub unfortunately. Other than the friendly, quick service I haven't found much to recommend in terms of this. The multicoloured nachos were pretty plain and standard: lacking in some toppings (cheese) and piled heavily with others (lettuce?).
This place looks promising for those looking for an aged, worn feeling local pub hangout that's got a ton of character. The food is nothing spectacular, but the drinks are cold, the staff is friendly, and this king of place is pretty unique for the burbs.
