| - While this is THE place of choice for many NHL fans to hang out at before heading to a game at the Bell Centre, especially for Boston Bruins fans such as myself, many things cannot be overlooked about the place.
Essentially, it is a place of choice because of the atmosphere and not as much the food. Sure, they have pitchers of crappy beer, which are very affordable, and they have an extensive food selection, as can be seen on the menus which are printed on the placemats, but the food there is pretty horrendous to say the least - Both times that I've been there I have been disappointed. While no one expects to find amazing food at a bar, this place is average at the very best.
To add to the disappointment, on my most recent visit there, we could no longer order pitchers of Molson and instead had to settle for some undrinkable Labatt Blue. It was pretty gross.
The place seats plenty and is a great spot to hang out out before a game though - It is also located just a stone's throw away from the rink which makes it convenient. The prices are decent, the bathrooms fairly clean and the service is actually good. If their food improved, I'd update it and add a star.
As far as the setting goes, it's a pretty standard bar that focuses on pretty heavy customer volume. Their menus are economically printed on the placemats and there's TVs everywhere - Aside from that, there's two levels. And yeah... nothing really special about it.
