English Pubs

There are good bars and bad ones - if they serve Guinness at the right temperature and don't give me 3 inches of froth, I go back. If they are also haunts of squealy girlies or druggies, I go elsewhere. :beer: |

Also there's no Cask Beer unless you're in a Brew Pub. |

Re: English Pubs
I think it is really hard to find the "real" english pub in Canada, most places that call themselves pubs are in actual fact a resteraunt. You enter and there is this fabulous bar and them many tables around where people are eating, not just drinking. They lack atmosphere because I don't think canadians are really into a pub scene. There is a great pub in Kentville called the Kings Arms, and they do alot to maintain the english feel but it is to much like a resteraunt to me. They have different things planned for different nights to attract patrons and it does work cause this place has been open for years. Now a tavern is totally different again!

Re: English Pubs
My limited experience of Canadian pubs mirrors others' views. That said, I went to an 'English pub' the evening before I got married and loved it. Not because it was really like an English pub., but because they sold Double Diamond and Watneys and other things that I thought had disappeared long before I was able to drink legally. :)

That was the last live WHL game I went to see voluntarilly ... some "wrestling" type event was on in the arena next door ... I think some of the wrestling fans were so blitzed, stoned or otherwise having trouble coping with general day to day living that they wandered into the wrong arena ... we gave up and left early. |
