Watched a fifa game here on a Friday. Their beer list is extremely extensive and impressive - if you want to try a new beer - go here. Sausage plate was also amazing, all types were tasty. The schnitzels were just okay - but that’s fine. I strongly support this establishments messaging about drunk driving - so wanted to support it with 5 stars.

I got the beef stew here and boy, it was fantastic! Also loved that they had German beer to remind me of my time in Munich. Would definitely go back!

Was here on a busy World Cup day and out server Mitch still made time whenever we needed. Nothing but positive energy from the place PLUS the food was fantastic. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.

The best pub I’ve been to downtown. Great atmosphere and quick service. I really enjoyed the beer selection and was surprised they even had my favourite beer (Liefmans). The fried calamari was 11/10. Great sauce and it tasted great. Pork Knuckle was also made perfectly and was really delicious. The apple crumble at the end was fantastic! Cant wait for my next visit.
