We were fortunate enough to snag a tiny one by the pool tables but it wasn't big enough for food and drinks so we ended up moving before ordering food. We shared a small plate of nachos and a chicken wrap with fries. I don't recommend the guacamole, as it wasn't very fresh and just had a weird texture. The food was very average in my opinion. At least they have a decent beer list. They had karaoke and there was a steady stream of people waiting to take their turn on the microphone. Those folks were much braver than me, that's for sure. I love that they still have pull tab machines, those are always going to take some of my money, if for nothing else but the nostalgia. I ended up winning a few bucks, so that added to the overall positive experience. Service was ok - there seemed to be a bit of confusion over who our server was, but once that was resolved, we had no issues. It was fairly loud but not so much that we couldn't still carry on a conversation. I'd probably go back, because there are not too many places in the area that still have a pool table.

Steel & Oak has become one of our go-to hangout spots in New West. Their Dark Lager is hands down…read moremy favorite--smooth, rich, and just really well-balanced. I'm not a huge fan of their IPA (a bit too hoppy for my taste), but that's more personal preference than anything else. Really like their cider too! The food truck outside is such a fun touch, and the dirty fries or onion rings are total winners as sides with the beers--loaded, flavorful, and exactly what you want with a pint. The space itself is cozy and modern and filled with greenery, but it can get super loud, especially on trivia nights or events. So if you're going for a quiet catch-up, pick a less busy time. That said, the service is always friendly and quick, and the crowd is very New West--cool, relaxed, and inclusive. It's a great place to chill, support local, and enjoy some solid craft beer. Definitely worth a visit!

The people we sat by…read morewere all really nice and even offered us their pool table that they had paid for but didn't end up using. There's free parking outside, just register your license plate when you enter the building. I went with 2 other friends on a Saturday night. The place was pretty full but we got lucky and only had wait a few minutes for a table. It was decently loud inside but it was still easy to have a conversation. The waitress we got was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. I'm also super envious of her memory because there's no way I can remember who had which drink without writing it down for so many tables throughout the night!!! My friend also asked for a drink recommendation for the last round and she gave a great one. There's a lot of selection for drinks, as well as food. I really like their shared plates of finger food like tater tots and onion rings. My fish and chips were also very good. The table beside us ordered nachos and it looked huge and very delicious.

Aside from the time warp location, the food is easily 4*s, and honestly, I'd say it's better than White Spot as a comparable. The clubhouse sandwich contained actual turkey breast, not the deli turkey breast slices a lot of places use. That's an easy win right there. Very reasonable pricing to boot! It's basically a sports bar/pub grub menu set up. Pool tables as well. Lighting is on the darker side, with friendly and courteous service. They chat with you since they're curious as to how you know about the place. It's definitely not on too many peoples' radar for sure. They seem to like their hockey, as there are a couple of jerseys hanging. Guy Lafleur, Paul Henderson's autographed jersey from the Summit Series 1972, and a couple of others. Located in the basement of the Lougheed Village Mall, which is literally the Land that Time Forgot. I'm not exaggerating. Come and have a look for yourself. Free validated parking if you eat here. Recommend that you go for a stroll in the upper and lower levels and the courtyard whilst you're here. Maybe come in the evening during Halloween. You won't need to spook yourself out at a graveyard. This mall will suffice you plenty.

Went for an after work drink during happy hour…read more We ordered 2 of their appetitizers and drinks. The local fried chicken was well made, crispy on the outside and flavorful! The nacho portion size was bigger than i thought. Lots of meat but i think it can benefit with more cheese, jalapeno and onions to bring out the flavor more Ambiance was great and there was a game going on so the vibe was great.

Found this spot during lunch on a weekday when craving Korean bulgogi in Metrotown area. I was…read morepleasantly surprised to discover that Soju is quite spacious inside and that it actually has a cozy ambiance for happy hour drinks. Service was pretty quick when I visited, wasn't too busy with about three other tables of diners. Food-wise: their prices and portions are quite reasonable but I have yet to discover my favorite menu item or their best dishes as taste for bulgogi was just okay. Overall, their weekday lunch special is good value. Though their food on my first visit wasn't especially memorable, their spacious interior + modern ambience + efficient service + good value and free parking brings them up from 3.5 stars to a 4 stars rating since this is a place I would definitely consider visiting again to try other dishes. And I am hopeful about finding items to my liking because they offer a fairly diverse food and drinks menu.

We LOVED that this spot serves good food with even greater deals!!…read more This Korean spot is underneath Sushi Oyama (the restaurant that looks like a house) on Kingsway and there's typically parking in the lot or on the street. It's simply decorated with Soju bottles or posters of Korean pop stars or actors. Love the casual and laid back vibe! There is a bell on the table if you need attention from the servers, and they are usually pretty efficient and fast when it is rung. We saw that there was a $9.99 combo deal and everyone at our table was shocked. We all ordered that. The combo comes with your choice of a noodle dish (Jajangmyeon or Black Bean noodles, Korean udon, or Spicy Cold noodles) and a Beef Bulgogi on the side. I ordered the Jajangmyeon with the Beef Bulgogi and it was great! I enjoyed the nice chew from the noodles and the Black Bean sauce was flavoured well. I was pleased to find chunks of pork in the noodles also. The Beef Bulgogi was a little watery, but tasted sweet and tender. All that food for $9.99. That's unheard of in this economy and in these times! Amazing. We'll definitely return as we saw other great deals on the menu also!

I got my drink early and was given a food menu and I only took about 3 mins to look at it when I knew what to get. There was only one bartender and she was hustling. Not gonna lie, I was a bit concerned there was only one bartender for the entire bar on a Canada world cup game day. She was so busy she didn't have a chance to take my order. I asked another server to order but she told me the bartender will help me. It took over and hour before I got the bartenders attention and managed to order. I got the honey stinger wings. They were fresh and good, although not spicy as it says. When I wanted another drink I found it so difficult to get the bartenders attention. She was SO BUSY. She was pouring drinks for literally every single person in the restaurant. She had no help. I felt bad for her but I also wanted to be enjoying the game. I felt like some of the drinks the other servers could've probably poured themselves, like the bottled beers or pour their own tap so the bartender could manager her own customers. Regardless, we still had a good time, I had a good seat, wings were good, and the bartender worked her ASS OFF. They need to staff more especially during times like these when you know every single person in this packed location will be getting at LEAST one drink.
