Our hotel was a block away so we stopped here for a late night bite on a Saturday night. It was after midnight and they said their kitchen was open until 12:30. So we ordered a couple of beers and their nachos. We seemed to wait a while for the nachos but when they came out I was actually impressed by how fresh the chips were and the extra toppings of salsa and sour cream given to us in a bowl on the side. We even had this bowl refilled because we had a lot of chips left to devour. Unfortunately, last call was made before we received our nachos. My boyfriend tried to plea for another beer after finishing our nachos but they wouldn't give him one. Considering there were at least 30 other people still at the bar drinking (including some of the servers), an extra beer wouldn't have hurt.

And to watch a game at the arena over the road if so inclined. Nice meals, good prices, fun drinks menu

What a wonderful place! It's a shame that it's closing down. We decided to grab some food and drinks here before the Luke Bryan concert at BC Place. We absolutely adored the outdoor patio with its spacious tables. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the drinks were superb. Our server was outstanding, and we had a fantastic time overall.

We went early at 11am for lunch and service was super fast and attentive. Nice big patio. Started to fill up after 11:30. Got the fried chicken which is crispy and juicy. I wasn't impressed with the liquid gold gravy but the chicken is great plain or with hot sauce. Bit on the pricey side but normal for downtown. Would go again if in the area but not a special trip.

Great beer, great food, great environment. Not a really big list of menu items, but what they have it's really good. Also, the price is not bad at all. It can be a bit loud sometimes, but it's a sport bar, so it's expected.
