    Wing flavours
    Jeff G.

    Bobby O'Briens is one of Guelphs most popular bars. I say this from experience because everytime I come here, the place is packed! I mainly visit on thursdays for their wing deals. Wings are $0.19 each which really means they are all you can eat. No matter where you go, I dont think you can find a better deal. Between two people, we ordered 5 Ibs of wings, a pint amd a fountain drink. The price? UNDER $20!! It always surprises me when I get the bill here. All of the flavours for wimgs are below in the picture. Some of my favourites are garlic parmesan and crown royal bbq. Drinks wise, they have a large selection of beers on tap..I would say about 15. They also have many other drinks like wine, spirits (some good scotches), and of course mixed drinks too. Bobby O'Briens really has everything you need. They will cover your food and drinks and they will do a good job!

    Sweet potato fries are a must!! Extremely crunchy, filling, and SWEET! Cons are : spicy mayo is never consistent, sometimes too liquidy!

    It is currently lockdown in the middle of winter when patio or car eating are the only options…read more Heated patio here, visited on -9C, need the jacket on. I stopped in for a bite, after reading a review complimenting that patio was suitable for spring and autumn...so why not winter. We called in and asked if their patio was open, then learned we could reserve spots. It was-9C with wind chill and some sun. They were accomodating to slot us in for 2.30-3.30pm and even when we were slightly late they honoured and held our reservation. We ordered the wings at $15 for 7 pieces and the swet potato fries for $12 (plsteful). The wings were well fried and generously coated with honey garlic, we were asked if we wanted it on the side or all over. The wings were served with two sticks of celery and one carrot and a blue cheese dip. The sweet potato fries were skinny and fried with a light coating that was extra crispy and served with an aioli sauce. The location has menus on the wall and QR code. The heaters near the menu on the ceiling was on but the ones facing the opposite direction was on. A bit drafty, I would recommend sitting closer to the covered patio side. The location has some comfy blankets to use, but not much is done to sanitize customer to customer so we enjoyed our own jacket. The restaurant recommended to bring some blankets but we were on the go and didny have any. The parking lot has spots, but I would presume most customers would be drinking and responsibly walking or riding taxi.

    This spot feels like it is definitely a must go on your Guelph to do list! Our server was…read moreaccommodating and kind. She was simply the best. The location is an old house and the holidays amplified the cozy atmosphere to 100. The fire place was great and warm and I loved it. The food was amazing and the portions were ginormous. Would definitely recommend the Mac and cheese the spices were perfect.

    Fixed Gear Brewing is my 315th brewery. I know I have two breweries listed as my 315th brewery, but…read moreI seem to have lost count somewhere. Give me a break, there was beer involved and 315 is WAY more fingers and toes than I have! FGB is built out in an old garage. Not a lot of seating inside and a woefully small bar but it does have a nice patio area out back. It was pretty much empty when I arrived with only two customers. No one was at the bar and I ended up standing around for about five minutes while the brewer and another guy were getting stuff done. I was just about to walk out when one realized the server had left to pick up food for the other customers. No hard feeling as these things happen but they should pay more attention. More than enough said. I ordered a flight of four, out of the six they had on tap. The cherry sour had a very nice cherry aroma and flavor but to overly sour. SWPFTD might disagree though as she doesn't care for sours. The Dutch blonde ale was up next. Very light with a hint of a bready flavor at the end. Breakaway IPA was a light aroma and bitterness IPA with a little haze to it. Easy drinking as far as I'm concerned. Last up was Stone Hammer dark ale, which had a malty flavor but a little harshness on the finish. This was not hops but I didn't love this one. FGB seems like a cool little local hangout. A few more folks came in but it was surprisingly empty for a Friday at 5:30. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

    Note: I cannot comment about the patio, bar, or atmosphere as taproom was CLOSED due to the…read morelockdown. Thank God, Fixed Gear was open for in-store purchase! I was in-town on a Monday and I know it's lockdown, but many good restaurants/bakeries were also closed. So aside from grocery stores + their breweries, there wasn't much to see in the City! Girl who was working was quite friendly and explained their 10 options they had for sale. I picked up a few cans. I was told that there are 3 different Fixed Gear locations: this one in the Junction has a taproom, the one on Alma does NOT have a taproom, and they recently opened up their "Canteen" which has a pizza oven. Apparently, they were hoppin' prior to the lockdown. I *may* update my review...after trying out my cans, so cheers!

    So here I am at Royal City Brewing and brewery #316ish. I say "ish" because I seem to be one off…read moresomewhere along the line. Oh well! RCB is in a strip mall and parking is at a premium. It was a busy place when I walked in and fortunately has food as I needed some badly. They have a lot of beers and a few ciders on tap, I counted 17 today. I went with a flight of four, which felt very restrictive and not very inclusive. The Berserker raspberry lemon sour was up first. This had a very light color and good flavor to it. The flavors worked together very well. The Luminance DIPA was recommended by the charming young lady next to me at the bar. I hadn't chosen a fourth beer and told the beer tender I'd take his choice in the matter. He went with the luminance. And I'm glad he did. Nice flavor throughout. Solid beer here! The Absolute Elsewhere maibock was a good example of the style. Fairly light and easy to drink overall. Last, maybe, was the smoked honey brown ale. I ordered this since SWPFTD loves browns and reds. This was pretty tasty and I think SWPFTD would have enjoyed it. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand.

The schnitzel sandwich with the duck fat fries was very good!

    I've been here a couple of times and frankly unsure why I don't love it more! The fries were ok,…read morebut the beer is definitely pleasant. I guess I am not a fan of the vibes, as I do prefer more of a pub style brewery than one that gives hipster vibes. The service is fine as well. It's definitely a Guelph must visit but not one that I'm nuts about.
