| - Hidden in the back corner of the complex, this sports bar replaces the previous resident 'Wild Wing'. Overall this replaces a generic wing-centric pub with a generic wing-centric sports pub. This bar offers ample sports viewing opportunities with 34, yes you read that right, TVs wall mounted in the space of a small strip mall location. 5 of the TVs are booth mounted to allow individual selection, though with the sheer volume of HDTVs if the game isn't playing on the wall, it isn't on TV...
First, beer selection is generic Canadian mega-labels with the craft brew on tap being Sam Adams. Bottles offers up standard generic labels as well as Guinness and Strongbow cans. Pretty Ho-Hum.
The menu selection is traditional pub fare of burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and various deep fried offerings. First tried the spinach-artichoke dip which was fairly bland and seemed to be missing most of the artichoke. Trust me I searched... There were ample chips and pita slices for dipping though. Second, tried the crown of the menu, wings. They have 73 flavors on the menu though honestly it's more like 15 with various drizzle/dip variations. For example, Hot wings/Hot Wings with Blue Cheese drizzle/Hot Wings with Mustard Drizzle/Hot Wings with Blue Cheese AND Mustard Drizzle.... The wings come breaded though unbreaded is available on request. The wings are amply sauced and flavorful. Good but had better.
On a weekday night the location was quiet with several groups conducting male bonding over a Leafs pummeling. Service was quick, especially since the bartender was also host and server. Prices were middle of the road though 2 generic beers and 2 appetizers for 40$+tip seemed on the steep side. There are nightly specials with Wing nights on Tuesday.
Honestly, not much to draw me back outside of the fact that Pub locations in the area seem to all be nearly identical to this anyways and sparsely located. Good location if your trying to save gas and stay close to home.
