| - This has come to be my local. I first came in before I moved here, when I was working out details for moving here. I noticed it on my way to the hotel, so I figured I'd go, since I knew the name, but had never been in one.
Like a previous poster, I had dealt with Neilly. She was my first experience after hopping up to the bar. She was very welcoming, friendly, and gave some good suggestions as well. When realizing that the next night would be the NFL opening Sunday, I knew where I'd be watching the games that weekend.
The wings were decent, though not the best I've had (that still goes to Boogies in Winnipeg, biggest wings I've ever had are there). Good selection of beer, and when a new one comes in they've always been quick to point it out, and give out a sample. As mentioned before, Tuesdays are wing nights, and Thursdays are boneless wing nights, and there is usually something for everyone with the 30 flavours.
Over the months I've got to know the staff (including management) and they've all been more than friendly and attentive (except one, who is no longer working there). I come in with friends, and they always enjoy it, and I come in alone when I just want to grab a pint and watch a game on a bigger TV than I have. Which is another great feature. You're never going to come in here and be stuck watching something. If your team is playing, but there is UFC on as well, they will get you a TV with your game. In fact, they've told me they have a mandate to have multiple sports on at the same time. They'll put the sound on for you if it's not already on another event, or if it's a big event, rather than being stuck listening to the juke box.
They also always seem very accommodating when large groups are coming in, and always seem to be able to fit people in at a table somewhere!
A definite plus is the covered patio with TVs on it, it was great for playoff hockey!
