I was super impressed when visiting for Sunday brunch. The food and bottomless coffee was great, but the servers were the icing on the cake. Charismatic and hilarious!

I love this place. It’s so cozy and inviting. The beer selection is great, good quality food for the prices. One of the few places that has a paper plane cocktail on the menu as well. It’s my default go-to place now. 10/10

Fun little bar with lots of Canadian memorabilia lining the walls, great snacks and board games that are free to use. Good place to bring friends for drinks and games. I would highly recommend getting their fries as a snack. I’m not sure what they do to them, but they are so good.

Great atmosphere with friendly manager. Enjoyed the local IPA (Sunsplit) on tap. The club sandwich was excellent! Lots of locals coming and going. Highly recommend if you are in the area.

if I could rate higher than I would!

Experience was A1. It was our server that made it sooo enjoyable. We didn’t catch his name; (tall, red-hair, hilarious jokes) he really made it such an amazing experience.

The atmosphere was nice, lots of cool pictures on the wall that really gave it a nostalgic feel, wasn’t too bright in there, which I loved and, the temperature was perfect.

The food was delicious, came out HOT and every bit was delicious. I almost didn’t get pictures lol

Only good things can be said about this place.
