Description

Customers here have been known to hunt a reporter down, at least as far as half a block, to expound upon their love for this unassuming old "pub." An incredibly friendly (it’s also the barflies who greet you), and in no way trendy, sports bar of the mostly rugby and soccer sort, it summons expats of the commonwealth at all hours. Good news for non-sports fans: most athletics are easy to avoid because international games often start at 4 a.m. or 6 a.m. (look out, though, for the Steelers’ fans during the American football season). For others, there’s live piano music, DJs, salsa Tuesdays and a recurring pub quiz. Find Guinness, Strong Bow and Blue Moon Belgian on tap; coach lanterns, very mock Tudor details and an iconic red phone booth tarting up the façade. As one particularly smitten patron declared at the corner of Lincoln and Wilson, “It’s the best place you could get yourself.” At least that’s what I think he was slurring.

    "Drinks, darts, and blokes"

    My favorite place for darts (they have pool too). Nice chaps there, and even a girl like me can be treated nicely while still kicking their blimey butts in darts. Good mix of beers on tap, though it's cider (on tap) for me. The food is pretty good, and even has a vegetarian pot pie on the menu, and good french fries. It's the company you're here for anyway. Salsa night on Tuesdays, Thursday night is Trivia Night - and it's packed! Be prepared to park on the street and walk to the bar since the little lot will be full.

    My neighborhood trivia night... it's important. But don't go here. I never win and don't need more competition.
