Bit of an underwhelming experience at Whelan's Gate. We grabbed a table in the small room upstairs, where we sat ignored for 15 minutes. I eventually just ordered some food from the waitress at the bar. (I had to stand up, the indignity!) The BBQ chicken sandwich was a bit small for my liking and a bit too sweet. The sides were actually superb, and I think I would go back for those fries alone. The atmosphere is swell, so I might return here for drinks.
Obligatory Title Pun: It's all WHEL-an good (but not great)
Menu Readability: Think "Elephant & Castle."
Need to mention: I might have to try this patio everyone keeps talking about at some point during our 14-day-long Canadian summer.
What this place teaches me about myself: I should have just had the Scotch.
