| - After having some decent meals all week while here on business, my wife took the family to this place. Hello.
I love the rustic atmosphere. What's that you say? It's a dump? Well, to some, a dump IS home. Far from the fancy-schmancy places I was taken, this was what I truly needed.
Still, though, I thought that a place like this would have what I'd been looking for all week: INDIA PALE ALE. I need to digress here a bit; WHERE ARE THE HOPPY BEERS IN ALBERTA? I see there's a place called Beer Revolution, but I tell you people...I'm scared. I look at the reviews for the brew restaurants in Alberta and nobody is talking about the beer. Alas, the waitress understood my dilemma, and offered the Beaver Amber. Still...a bit more hoppy bite than the crafty beers I had all week, but not enough for me. I had a Steamwhistle for my second beer. Good ol' Steamwhistle - probably the hoppiest beer I had all week.
For dinner, I had the the pulled pork, boring fries (just plain old fried potatoes) and the bacon-wrapped corn cobs. It will fill you up (especially if you drink 2 pints of beer - 20 oz each in Canada). You get 3 barbecue sauces, all of which are great. The Chipotle sauce has a nice zing - here's your spicy sauce. Oh, but wait, that Carolina mustard sauce has a decent kick as well! Then the Jack Daniels sauce is there just to round things out.
Staff are pierced, tattooed, dyed and hairy. I'm down with the cause, Holmes. I can just hear my boss bitching about their attire. Awesome.
Had to use the restroom in the basement. Cool stage. I probably would have come to a few shows here had I lived here in my younger days.
Totally recommend this place!
