Beauty March day, the Missus and I went for a stroll and stopped in at the Green Dragon for a pint.
No doubt this is a local's pub as everyone that stopped by knew most of the gang there.
Having worked in an Oshawa bar/restaurant for 12+ yrs, I understand that "riff raff" (as one reviewer described the regs) is generally a 1st impression. Most of the time, these people are the most normal, friendliest and down-to-earth bar crowd you can meet. We felt the love as a couple obvious regulars noticed I was peeking down the bar at a spring training Jays game that was on and he was quick to offer to get the game on a closer tv. He didn't work there but often these kind of regulars are the best ambassadors for your bar.
Nice couple, chatted with us as we chilled by the front window. Got a chance to hear a brief history of the local pub scene and talk about the Dragon's menu.
Speaking of Dragon's, not sure if it was sheer coincidence but the Dragon's Den tv show was playing on a few tvs around the bar. I'd like to think it was intentional and assumed if we had stayed longer, that tv would've shown nothing but dragon-related programming.
Menu was small but food reviews on various sites (and from the local dude) were glowing. A return in the near future.
