I WARN YOU DO NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THIS ESTABLISHMENT!!…read more At some point me and a friend needed a hotel to stay at so we decided to stay at the tavern. I wasnt sure who to talk to for a room so i asked the gentleman down stairs. He took our money for one weeks stay and gave each of us a room key. During the night i had to go to the washroom. It was small, dark a dismall, to my horror when looking into the waste basket nearest the toilet ... USED SYRINGES IN PLAIN SIGHT! I ran from there to my room again... the nights sleep was ok aside from the music pounding my body... The next morning we woke up to some old man creep pounding at our door. Turns out this was the REAL hotel manager. He basically told us to get our shit and get out. We quickly gathered together our things but not before we went downstairs to confront the original man who turned out to be the bartender. He refused to give me back any of the money claiming that i was being stupid. We ran up to our now unlocked hotel room. My friend couldnt find her cell phone. I told her to look under the pillows and sure enough there it was. She knew she left it on the desk and i saw it there too. Once we retrieved the phone and hotel management caught eye of this he started getting more verbally violent. Shooing us out with swear words calling us name's as we packed in a hurry When we finally escaped the establishment we ran and couldnt have run fast enough!!! I warn you! Dont drink here. Dont stay here and dont support this place The one night i tried was like a scene out of some horror movie!!keep safe!!!

Recently this place was featured on Beard Meats Food, a YouTubing professional eater who travels…read morethe globe taking part in eating challenges at local restaurants. As we were planning to be in London (Ontario) anyhow we decided to stop in mainly out of curiosity. First and foremost this is a bar....the local 'watering hole'. Interior is a cross between dive bar and diner. In the early afternoon the bar was full of locals enjoying a beer. The menu is full of typical bar food, hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken fingers, fish and chips, ribs etc. Hot dogs are the main event here with dozens of choices from the standard chili to ones topped with cereal and drizzled with maple syrup. Dogs are about the same size as a Costco dog but we did see a couple of locals order a foot long. They have a daily special and on Tuesday it's $2.00 tacos (choice of classic or pulled pork) or a slight up charge for the other choices (steak or chicken). Tacos come in soft or hard. What was ordered: 1 pulled pork taco and 1 classic taco 1 chili dog BBQ chicken quesadilla 1 poutine There are no combos. When you order a hot dog that is what you get. A hot dog. A side of fries or onion rings is extra. The verdict...it was okay. For food that is not complicated to make, our order took almost 30 minutes to arrive and it wasn't busy with food orders. When we ordered the $2.00 tacos we were told we also needed to order a drink to get the special. This is not printed on the ad. The quesadilla and chili dog were unremarkable. Poutine even more so. Service was good though. There was one server who also manned the bar. She seemed to know most of the locals and was very friendly.

Music was perfect for a nice quiet lunch, a mix of older rock and country played at a volume that didn't drown out conversation. I had a hot dog with coleslaw and it was delicious. Fries were nothing special, likely from frozen. I would likely try a different side next time. Service was a touch slow, but the waitress was apologetic because they were changing over the soda, so that really can't be avoided. All in all I enjoyed it and would definitely eat here again.

After getting out of the little university bubble of Waterloo, it was cool to find this little…read moresports bar hidden away. From the outside it didn't look like anything too special, just a typical place to grab drinks and catch a game. Once we walked in, we noticed it wasn't too crowded for a Saturday night and the place was very spacious. Pool tables weren't crammed together and table were spread far apart. The bar was the first thing to hit when you walked in. Friendly bartenders and drinks at decent prices. The game changer though was the pool costs.Unlike most pool halls I've been to, here we had to pay only ONE DOLLAR PER GAME! Simply had to throw a loonie into the machine and it was game on. After going to locations that charge $20/hour, this was definitely a refreshing change. The next thing that surprisingly caught me off guard were the washrooms! At small bars / pubs it's easy to assume you'll have to use a dingy washroom in the back but these were super clean and looked newly renovated. Overall, GREAT experience!. Glad we bumped into this place and would definitely hit it up next time I'm in town,

They make the best wings in London and probably the best wings I have ever had. If you bother getting one thing, get this. This alone is the reason to come here. Is it worth going out of you way to eat wings here? Yes.

This 80s themed rock bar has some serious atmosphere. From the pink neon sign and pinball machines up front to the posters littering the walls and the 80s movies playing in the back, this bar has that unique flair we know, love and expect from the Wolfe brothers. Monday was horror night. Naturally they had IT playing on the screen. Dear Lord, save me. Wait...nevermind, their $5 pints helped me conquer my clown phobia. They have a few unique choices of beer on tap, including my fave, Anderson Cream Ale. Their menu consists of lots of well priced small plates. I love this. No big dinners with massive prices. Just snacks that feel good. I had the La Bamba nachos and my bf had the pulled pork Bao. Everyone enjoyed their food, it hit the spot perfectly. The music was awesome, the bartender was cool yet sweet and funny. If your looking for a relaxed night to chill with some friends in a very cool atmosphere, don't sleep on holy diver. It's the bomb!
