| - I remember passing by McKibbin's when wanting a change of pace from Hurley's a block away.
They get a lot right in terms of Irish pubs, the decor, music and feel is spot-on.
The last 2 time I went was for trivia night on a Monday, did not know what to expect but seemed like fun. Our group came in second out of 8 groups, the questions were much harder than I thought, especially the music ones.
As for the food, I got a plate of Nachos with Chicken on top $18+4, so a bit pricey but it's more than enough for a couple of people. I got to also try the frickles (fried pickles), which is ok but just a novelty food for me.
Seeing as how it was busy, it was actually quite hard to flag the waitress for another beer, had to pay for my first drink upfront (?), and had trouble flagging anyone for a second beer. So when trivia night ended, people were queuing up to pay.
My last visit was a lot less hectic, just a quiet evening, a co-worker re-commended the shepherd's pie. This is not something I would normally take since i normally fear it's frozen/re-heated but I was pleasantly surprised. It hit the spot on a cold autumn night.
