| - I especially love this place because it is a 5-minute walk from my house!! Now, THAT is quite dangerous! It's been opened for quite a few years now, and if you are looking for a good pub/bar in the neighborhood, then look no further! Perfect for a quick meet-up or a sit-down dinner. Come by yourself, or come with a small group of friends!
I've been here many times, and have brought many people here! Everyone loves it! There are many TVs around the restaurant and even right above some of the booth seats, playing sports games, news, and even retro cartoons! Sometimes they have a live band playing although i'm not quite sure which days. In the summer time, they open their garage-style windows to give you the nice sunny patio feel, but the tables there are usually packed! Definitely a 5 star for atmosphere!
Their menu consists of burgers, wings, nachos, DUCK poutine, to charcuterie, paté, lamb sloppy joe, OYSTERS, and one of the best simple mac and cheeses in town! All their fried foods are fried in duck fat!!! OOOOHHHHH YEAAAAAAA!!!!! Beers on tap range from Rolling Rock to Erdinger to Delirium. Overall, a very good selection! They also carry a wide variety of bottled beers such as corona, heineken, moosehead, red stripe etc.
From what I remember, I've never had a complaint about their food. The most recent time was last week when I came to grab a drink and a bite just before the Raps game, and this was our "snack";
Chicken liver paté brulée: $9 (3.5/5 stars)
I definitely have had better, but this was as good as I can ask for at a pub. It deserved that extra .5 star because it came like a charcuterie platter with dried figs, apricots, honey, some delicious jam-like sauce, toasts! I asked for extra toasts to finish the liver, and I got it!
Mac et fromage: $11 half (4.5/5 stars)
As good as any simple mac and cheese out there! Half portion is the perfect portion if you want a snack or a side dish. It's served in a casserole dish and you just dig into creamy delectable cheesy goodness!
Tatertots: $6?? half (2.5/5 stars)
Just like your normal tatertots, but they weren't greasy at all. Best part was that it was served with wasabi aioli!! YUM!
Did I mention they have HOOCH HOUR?!?!?! 4-7pm and again after 10pm!! $5 ANY PINT!!!!! Also, just discovered they just started having $2.50 JAGERS, ALL DAY, EVERYDAY!!!
The only downfall to this place is that if you come at late at night on a weekend, chances are you will not get a seat.
Let's meet for HOOCH HOUR!!!
