| - Agree with VA.'s review entirely about service and TVs, but the place deserves more love than just 2 reviews, so I'm adding another!
Have been a few times since moving into the area.
First things first - the wings. I remember the wings being ok. Nothing great. I like dry and crispy, these were wet and a little too fatty/chewy... However, like I said, I agree with V.A. You give me that wing deal and I will do it.
On my most recent visit (the same night as a Leafs' game) it was busy. Fortunately, we got a table quickly. Unfortunately, the place has crammed a lot of tables into the space and at our table of four, we were pretty darn close to our neighbors making it more like a table for six.
Now, to add something new to the mix...
The burger, I think it is called the "Paris Burger", was a great surprise! I usually have low expectations for bar burgers because they tend to be either a frozen patty from McCains, or a charcoal hockey puck. But I'm a guy who likes a good burger, so I'm going to try it at least once! So, the Paris burger. It was cooked well, not under or over. The patty was substantial and may have been processed, but it didn't have much fat or gristle, which is common of those burgers. It also had some dijon mustard and peppercorns spread on top that added a bit of that spice that goes so nicely with beef. Add in my pint of Guiness and I was a very happy camper.
Any way, this is not an Irish pub, or a fancy beer bar; It's a sports bar. A place you go to watch sports on an absurd number of televisions, drink beer, and usually devour the flesh of some dead animal. And in all these categories it succeeds.
