| - Our adventures began a year and a half ago on our first date at none other than, drum roll please: Sports Station! (for my Frenchies: La Station des Sports) I know, I know, so classy you could just die LOL! Well The Beard was new to MTL and had never been there and we wanted something low key, thus we ventured into the vat of beer.
We sat down to watch a UFC fight and I convinced The Beard to order a 4L of Keith's Blond. "4L of Beer" he proclaimed and his eyes lit up with delight. Uh Oh! I had unleashed a monster. Never have I seen someone get so excited about draft beer.
After several visits to SS, I started to look back at everything that we've eaten and drank. The beer, although probably the cheapest you'll find in the city, is expired tasting and gives me a headache. I could never understand why I could drink mounds and mounds and never be "that drunk" but 2 pints anywhere else and I'm falling on the floor?! It's watered down, but you're getting what you pay for.
The food if decent, low cost pub food. I actually really like the steak poutine and The Beard likes the Station Special, an array of appetizers. If you're gonna be downing that much beer you better line your stomach with some grub first and SS does the trick for that.
Beware of sitting at a table with a beer tap. Although it seems like it's a good deal, something is fishy about it and we always seem to be paying more than we thought we drank. You can ask to see the "book" to see exactly what amount you did drink, but take my advice and just order pitchers.
They make a pretty good bloody ceaser and for only about 4$ you really can't go wrong. We also like to knock back a few Jagger bombs, when the night get's going hard. Decently priced and they give you a real ounce. I used to want to go because I had fun with the staff, but lately they have changed things up and the new staff isn't as great. All in all the appeal has gone down. Maybe it's the fact that I no longer want to get Sh*t faced and face a hangover the next day just for a cheaper bar tab, but I think with all the cool places in MTL, you can save your pennies a couple of days and head somewhere better!
