| - A couple of folks from my frisbee team suggested we head to Cafe 22 after our playoff game. The draw: cheap drinks and delicious pizza. For a dozen or so hungry players, that was music to our ears.
Cafe 22 was not what I expected. I figured we would be in for an Original Joe's meets Moxie's kind of a deal. Pulling up outside, this place looked more like a coffee shop than a place to meet for drinks (how fitting given the name). We missed happy hour by about 30 minutes (it ends at 8), however, even at regular price, I don't think I'll ever find a place that could beat the $3.75 I paid for my Sleeman's, save buying it myself.
Inside, I felt more like I was in A Midsummer Night's Dream than a cafe/pub. There were fake trees strung across the roof and down the walls, and low lighting. It also wasn't all that busy. The only reason I can fathom for this is it's location. It's tucked away in a corner behind the Coop on Macleod Trail.
Beyond the great beer prices (bottled), what sets this place apart is the 10 inch 6 topping pizza I had for $10. They've got about 20 different toppings you can choose from and the pizza is made to order, mine had beef, bacon, mushrooms, green peppers, garlic and tomato. Cheese was just a given and not even included in the 6.
So, next down your down south and looking for some good grub and some great prices, give Cafe 22 a shot. They've also got TVs which were all tuned to sports.
