I've been going to the Top Brass for years. It's our stop before and after ball, considering the park is only a few blocks away. Hell, there were even a few durings ... well, at least when there were rainouts anyway.
The beer is cold and Char is one of the best servers in the city. You go there enough and she'll call you by name, bringing you the right beer without you even asking.
I can't improve upon Spencer's description of one of my favourite seedy pubs in Calgary. But I can let you know you'll find the best ginger beef at the Brass.
And dumplings. I almost forgot the dumplings. Our usual is ginger beef, dumplings and chow mein.
Between two people, there's enough for leftovers the next day. Or when you get home.
Yum!
Oh yeah, wing night is Monday and Wednesday ... Caesars on sale on Thursdays.
The hangover special? Go for breakie ... I think it's about three or four bucks for Texas toast, hash browns, two eggs and you choice of ham, sausage or bacon.
