Tuesday and Thursday wing nights at Smitty's...a favourite of many in this city. Compared to other places, at 6 wings for $2.64 (which works out to $0.44 each), this is ridiculously cheap! The wings are smaller but I don't mind and come breaded or naked (non-breaded) with quite a few flavours. There's hot, killer, cajun, salt & vinegar, electric honey, bbq, salt n pepper, sweet chili, lemon pepper, dry and a few more. The "killer" which is their spiciest wing was super lame...so Smitty's is not the place for spicy wings at all. The killer flavour was more salty than spicy - boo! I loved their salt 'n pepper flavour as it goes well with my beer - Keith's Red for $4.55. The sweet chile was pretty good without being too sweet.
Service here is hit and miss...not sure if they were understaffed or just slow but it takes a little time to get refills and additional wing orders.
This place gets pretty busy past 7 pm as there was a line up waiting to get into the lounge. Granted there was a Jets game on as well as being a Thursday night.
The lounge looks way nicer than the Grant and Pembina location as the decor is newer. It's still a sports bar feel to it but everything looked clean and nice.
But you definitely can't beat this place for value for beer and wings. Casual feel where you can hang out with a group of friends. -

I remember the Smitty's glory days. Going every Tuesday and Thursday for 35 cent wings. Partly because my husband used to work there and partly because at least one of my friends always wanted to go!
The wings have always been yummy and they have an awesome selection. The drinks are fairly priced and the atmosphere was fun although sometimes too loud. Sometimes our table was guilty of being too loud too, haha. But what's wrong with having a good time, right? It's a sports bar for Pete's sake :)
Only problem with the place was the service was a hit or miss. You either get a really sweet and awesome attentive waitress or one that just really doesn't care and only comes to your table every half hour. After a while I think some were catching on to the fact that some of us weren't tipping, but HELLO! you weren't doing your job. I'm not going to reward someone that is half-assed and getting drink orders wrong.
Either way, the place is fun, and I haven't been in a while so maybe they have some new people and all the waitresses are awesome. I would still go back for wings and drinks because it's a great hang out.Listed in: Winterpeg, Let's Get Shi**y!
