| - When my friends and I are looking for a casual place for some beers and food, we'll often come here if we're not in the mood for Korean. The place is a casual and easy-going student-centric bar with a line up of domestic, import, and some craft beers. Food is an interesting mix of things like sandwiches, salads, quesadillas, with pho, pad thai, udon ,etc. I always go for the asian-y things since I feel the asian ladies in the kitchen do them better than the sad-looking quesadillas i've seen come out of there. But their deep-fried tofu, and udon noodles stirfry are on my regular rotation.
The place is large, with a small patio out front, first floor seating (with the giant windows open, it almost feels like patio seating), and then an entire floor upstairs as well. So even when I come with large groups, we almost never have to wait.
Only major inconvenience is they're cash only. There is an ATM downstairs before the washrooms, but I don't know what kinda fees it charges, so consider yourself warned.
I also enjoy going to Java House, and they basically have the same owners and same concept, but I find the food a bit more flavourful, though a touch smaller at Pour Boy.
Think simple, hearty foods, bar rail, house red or white wines, pitchers and pints of sangria (!) and beers. Service has always been decent. I'll definitely be back.
