| - I have some pretty great university memories of the Esplanade location, so it would take a lot to top my impressions of the location downtown - while this location doesn't completely top that, it's still a good choice for a group gathering in the west end.
Drinks selection and variety was impressive, service was absolutely wonderful (thanks to our server Relina who put up with our crazy group so kindly and professionally!), and while the band the night we visited was a little cheesy, the ambiance was super relaxed, casual, and so much fun. There are large TVs to catch a game, drinks are delicious, and there's lots of parking.
My one qualm would be that the food the night we visited was only so-so (it was a Saturday night). However, the drinks were awesome - if you like ciders that are lighter and a touch sweeter, definitely check out the Somersby Cider. Delicious, cool, light and refreshing! A great choice recommended by our server.
You can't really go wrong with picking this spot for a group outing or date. It's very casual (no real need to dress up, unless you want to), and it's a good choice for a relaxing evening out in the west end.
