Attrocious service
Horrible food
Dishonest Staff
Sounds like a winner...?!?!?!
I think NOT!!!!
The server spilt drinks, forgot orders and just didnt seem to care..This was on a tuesday night...It wasn't busy at ALL!!!!!
The burger i ordered was supposedly "home-made"..It wasn't! It was an overcooked dry frisbee...I don't like being lied to!!!!!
The wings were...Meh at best..not the best wings at all!
I was not impressed at all! I would never go to this location ever again..and I love chicken wings...
Waste of time!
Im visibly upset .... -

I have been to this place which is in Vancouver branch with foreigner friends many times. As you may know, this restaurant is really famous in tourist books in Korea and Japan.
It can be comfortable with good atmosphere even you can stay longer and lots of screens to see sports program(usually ice hockey game lol). Most foods are also good, especially wings has delicious flavors. But unfortunately some of waitresses is not good for customers. They sometimes looks so tired even it's not busy time. of course zero eye contact.
I may go this restaurant from my friends inviting, but I must be feeling not so special. -

Wings! Some friends and I wanted wings last night, and we thought long and hard about where to get them before settling on Wings (not named after the classic NBC sitcom featuring Thomas Hayden Church (Wings, April 19, 1990, to May 21, 1997), but in reference to hot wings, which was more up our alley anyway). I had the Wing Salad (6 varieties of wings in a bowl!) and a few double Joe Hacketts and we watched a hockey game (Wings vs Penguins! Penguins are flightless, but I bet that just makes the wings more tender. Like the veal of wings). Was definitely the most fun I've had eating wings with my bros, until I thought about how many chickens worth of wings we ate.
Suggestion: get some different bird options? Turkey, squab maybe? Some kind of exotic parrot? I'll be back! -

Ok decor, OK food, Alright service. But ridiculously expensive! I was at the Granville location yesterday (Friday night) and paid $18.50 for a pitcher! And the wings, are nearly a dollar each. Their "pound" is mearly a few grams I swear. Its place with maybe 8 - 12 wings. I've heard good things about the Cambie house, will try that soon.

When you call yourself Wings, you'd better serve up some pretty awesome wings. *I shake my head* They were mediocre at best. Two words - tiny, dry.
Jakarta Heat - yeah, pretty hot this one. My tongue went numb for a good 10 minutes and I downed 2 full glasses of ice water in no time (I also may or may not have shed a few tears) - all from one single tiny wing. I was carefully wielding a fork and knife, but a bit of the sauce landed on a hangnail, and omg, it burnssssss! I'm fan of very spicy food. I would actually like this one, if it had some other flavours except hot. Hot, but very bland - I don't get the point.
Texas Dry Rub - didn't really taste anything. Really.
Chicago Salt and Pepper - best of the three because it actually had some flavour, but mainly the salt.
Perhaps it's a mistake that I had the Jakarta Heat first, causing all my taste buds to shrivel up and distort the taste of all subsequent foods. I don't know. But I feel like I had better wings from the frozen section at Superstore cooked via the microwave. -

Answer me one question, friends. Do you like the spice? Well, colours of the world, do yourself a favour and try the Jarkata wings down at Wings. From their menu: "Recently discovered in a southeast asian lava flow, enough to break a sweat."
More than just a sweat. And more than an understated description.
The spice on these innocent looking bad boys will make the area between your tongue an oesophagus feel as though it was involved in a circus trick gone wrong.
Here's the kicker. They have a hotter wing called the Bobby wing, complete with consent form.
Tired of the usual wing flavours? Another favourite is the Westcoaster with lemon peels and cracked black pepper. -

All of their wings are delicious but beware of the draft beer. Lines are dirty so you'll get that fast drunk, wicked hangover that you get from dirty bars. Most of the staff are rude or inattentive as well. But the wings ARE really good.

Good wings
Bad waitresses

Price on food was good
Beer was boring
Had the Jakarta Heat which made me cry teas of joy. Hot stuff but nice.
No cool vibe with 1/2 full Sunday game time

It is a shame when restaurant leaves a bad taste in your mouth... but it wasn't the food.
So Wings has opened here in the big city, I have never had a great experience with Chain-store hot wings (well except for the original Buzzard wings they used to sell at Red Robin)
So we all know that the wait staff in Vancouver can be a challenge,so I am not even going to mention that here.
Wings is located in the entertainment district on Granville St and is attached to the Howard Johnson Hotel, and they have free WiFi... if your a guest in the Hotel!!! WTF is that about?
Anyways they have an excellent selection of Wings. I did not try the "hottest" but the second hottest rated a 6/10 on the "Richter scale"
We went on a Wed and they advertised a wing special of $0.39/each but that was only from 2-5.
When we get inside they sell the wings by the pound and they are ONLY $8.00 per POUND and that includes a choice of 1 of 6!! Sauces! NO EXTRA CHARGE
The wings are excellent you can actually tell the difference in the sauces and the wings are not smothered, the wings themselves were tender and juicy.
Go for the chicken not the service -

I've only been here once, but I got some of the best wings and best customer service of my life.
I emailed them before my weekend order to see if I should order online or by phone, and got a response back very quickly telling me to please call 24 hours in advance for larger orders.
When I called, a lady named Lindsay told me that she would put in my order and she would be the person I picked them up from the next day.
When I was running late, she even called to check that I was still coming! I walked in the door and before it even closed, she greeted me by name and said my wings were ready. I was in and out in five minutes.
Plus, the wings were really good! They stayed crispy for hours after I picked them up and set them out at home for party guests to munch on. -

Best wings in town!
Whenever i have a huge craving for wings, i always come here! these wings are bigger than most pubs around Vancouver and Richmond and they clearly have a lot more flavor selection than any other place i've been to..
"Hey Fritz, gimme your top 5 right now!!"
in no particular order it would be:
1. Louisiana sweet
2. Italian roasted red pepper
3. Honey garlic
4. Sweet thai
5. Outlaw Mexicali
All loaded with tons of flavor! one of my favorite things about "wings" is that they change their flavors every so often, so you will never get bored with the same flavors year after year.
"Hey Fritz, what are the new flavors out now"
Damn your annoying!!
I think its Bombay Pineapple and English Salt and Vinegar. mMMMmm!
If your ever so bold, there is a crazy hot wing called the "Bobby Wing" I was stupid enough to finish 5 of these before i threw in the towel! Oh man!! worse pain ever!! I should have known when they made me sign that damn waiver form. (damn you peer pressure!) Don't get me wrong, the bobby wing flavor is great, it just packs a "Pacquiao Punch" in the end! ...
beware the ring of fire...... for the people that tried it already know what im talking about....
Overall, awsome hang out! best wings hands down! -
Review from Rich R.
Vancouver, BC

I'll start off by just saying that I was very close to giving Wings a 2, but they managed to save a star when I paid my check.
Since the name is 'Wings', why else would we go? So my wife ordered the Greek Wings, and I ordered the Louisiana Sweet. The selection of flavours was pretty good. That much I will say.
I was a bit surprised when both orders were served on one plate. Not a big deal since I was planning to share with my wife, anyway. So I let that one go.
The plan was that my wife and I would each have half of each flavour. I choose the Louisiana Sweet because it was not supposed to be spicy. I realized there would likely be a small kick to it, but that was no problem.
So imagine my surprise as the first wing grazed the tip of my tongue and I could literally feel a bead of sweat instantly form on my brow! Wow, that's hot! But I shrugged it off thinking that maybe the first bite just caught me a bit off guard.
I tried to finish the first wing, but I soon realized I could feel a hole forming in the lining of my stomach as the spices were attempting to eat their way into my abdomen. Something wasn't right.
We were with friends who had also ordered the Louisiana Sweet no more than 10 minutes before me. Not wanting to be out-done by the ladies at my table, I was starting to get worried. So I asked one of the girls if they'd try one of my wings to see if it was the same as theirs. As the 3 girls passed the wing along the table, each one of them were very quick to acknowledge my fears were justified. There was no way this was Louisiana sweet.
So I went to get our server, who also grabbed the manager. It took my several minutes to convince them that the wings on my plate were not what I had ordered. The manager was trying to tell me that I had the Louisiana sweet on my plate, but sometimes they just tastes spicier. I wasn't buying it.
They finally took the wings back to the kitchen were it was discovered that I was, in fact, accidentally served some of their spiciest wings on the menu. Surprise, surprise!
The excuse I was given is that the sauce bottle for the spicy and the Louisiana Sweet look the same. Here's a tip for you, Wings... don't use bottles that can be mixed up. If you were dealing with a customer with allergies or ulcers, you would have a big problem.
Nevertheless, they were quick to bring me my new wings, which were quite good.
Another point to remember, be sure to read the fine print if you go in for cheap wings. Apparently you only qualify for cheap wings if you order a beverages. So if you don't drink alcohol and can't have a soft drink, you're S.O.L. Maybe that sounds weird to some people, but you'd be surprise at how many people don't drink booze or soft drinks.
When time came for the bill, I was dealt another surprise... they still charged me full price for the wings that nearly gave my 1st degree burns on my mouth. Maybe I'm old school, but in the restaurant biz, if an order gets screwed up, you usually want to comp the customer at least something to try an make up for the mistake... especially when you have already admitted to the error.
So I questioned the waitress, who again needed to get the manager. I feel that some form of reimbursement was in order. As I mentioned earlier, Wings saved themselves a star hear because the manager did take my wings off the bill (even though I'm not thrilled that I had to tell them to do it). I don't feel I was being cheap. I feel that I was giving them a lesson in proper customer service.
So there you have it. Wings is OK. Just read the fine print and make sure you get what you ordered. -

Not a bad place to watch the hockey game and get some wings and brews. Just don't expect too much.
We had a pretty large group, and the beer was constantly brought out promptly, and we were attended to quite well. So for service, they were pretty good, except for Rich's wings mix up.
The beer selection is pretty blech, as mostly it's just the cheap shit, like your standard Molson, Bud, Kokanee, etc, and ooooh Stella... which I refuse to pay premium prices for just because it is an import (it's still gross). But, since I wasn't looking to spend much I went with what the others were ordering, and it was easier to split pitchers with them. So, Kokanee it was. At least it was cheap at $13.60 a pitcher.
The wings were all right. The flavour descriptions don't really match what you get, especially with the "wet" wings, but they are tasty enough. I actually prefer the dry wings there best, because the flavours actually come through. The Greek were my favourite, and the Mexican ones were pretty good, too. Charging for dipping sauce is pretty lame, though. Be sure to get your wing orders in before 5 pm or the price goes up. $0.39 per wing is the sale price. Any more than that for a wing is a bit silly. Especially when there are no veggies or dips provided. At least they bring you wet naps.
Overall, A-OK, and if I have another hankering for a massive pile of wings I will likely come back. -

Went there last night at 12h20am...quite a few tables still available,and the place was clearly still open. After waiting for 5min by the "wait to be seated" sign and seeing how the waitresses by the end of the bar were looking at us in a "let's ignore them and see if they go" way...instead we sat ourselves at a booth and waited for another 5 more minutes. The waitresses kept on looking at us and talking to each other, as if they were planning on how to get rid of us. Then the manager joined them, and after discussing the plan with his waitresses, came to us to great us -hmmm...12min later, not bad!!- and told us right away that because it was
past last call time (12h30am) he couldn't serve us. I am ok with them deciding when to close...but use the right excuse buddy, your license allows you to serve alcohol till 1am and keep drinks on the tables till 1h30am...just don't fool us with bad excuses, specially after making us wait so long till it was past last call time!!
Really bad service, sorry but won't go again. -

Holy cow is this place busy.
Went there for the Canucks game yesterday. Left a relatively quiet G-Sports with some friends and were looking for a more exciting place to watch the game. Saw Wings, which was packed, and luckily were able to get a table within 5 minutes.
Had a Heineken, hot wings, a Spanish coffee, and an appetizer platter.
The appetizer platter had a half pound of wings, a half pound of dry ribs, chips, and spring rolls. Quite possibly the best bang for buck I've had at a bar.
The wings were good, and I'm pretty picky. The Spanish Coffee was great! Surprisingly.
All that for $33.
I will definitely be going back for future Canucks games. -

Beers and wing specials...can't ask for much more during a Canucks game!
TVs and Sceens everywhere, so you know even if you're the last of your group to arrive, you can still catch all the action. By the way, I would not recommend getting here 30 minutes before the puck drops because this place gets packed an hour in advance. Get here early, especially if you have a big group.
Great service too. Definitely recommend it! -

So Just took a 2 day trip up to to Vancouver and we stayed at a hotel that was right down the road from Wings and I am so glad we did. We ended up going there for lunch and dinner in the same day. Lunch was better but only because it was cheaper because between 3 and 5 they have .39 cent wings [minimum of 10 wings and must order a drink (doesn't have to be beer)] They have SO MANY different flavors of wings, some of them have different levels of hotness marked next to them 2 chilis almost burnt my lips off but they were amazing. But I would not get the 4 chilis unless you are looking to kill your stomach (not to mention a waiver is required for this one)
They also had quite the variety of beers on tap and they were all quality beers as well.
The only reason I give this a 4 is because the owner is SUPER rude. We came in for lunch and asked to see a menu because we were from out of town and then we asked about the wings deal and all she kept saying was "you have to eat here" over and over again in a very rude voice and wouldnt even give us a chance to tell her we were planning on it. .. She is lucky we stayed. cus our waitress was super cute and very funny.
I am glad we did. But I am also glad we didnt have to deal with her again she was a B!@#$ -

The wings are good but thats about it. I've had French onion soup here and it was just fair. Not much cheese and not really hot like most properly baked ones are (think Burgoo on Main St.). The salads aren't too bad but could be bigger for the price.
What really drives me to the 2 star rating is the staff. They are completely unattentive and don't really seem to care about giving the customers a pleasant dining experience. Once your order is brought to your table it's almost impossible to get a server's attention while they all convene at the end of the bar and pay no attention to anyone. Also, the last time I went there the place was nearly empty. I was with a client and needed to go over a few papers. We asked for a booth (there are 4 or 5 booths there) and the hostess told us we couldn't have one unless we were a party of 4. Shortly after we were seated a party of 2 shows up and they get seated in a booth! I know this sounds like I have a grudge against this place now. Maybe I do...
Sorry Wings management, I won't be returning! -

Although I don't like wings and didn't try the wings here, I actually thought this place was quite decent. Casual, not over-priced and a varied menu. The nachos that I split with my fellow diner were very good, a decent size with a decent amount of toppings, and the chicken souvlaki was actually quite good The chicken was perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned, and the rice pilaf and Greek salad that came with were much better than expected, as well. (The pita bread looked good too but due to gluten issues I can't comment personally on the taste!) The food came quickly and our server was generally pretty good, just obviously extremely busy on this Friday night.
The atmosphere is loud and lively, which can be good or bad depending on the occasion. For an intimate conversation, not so much. For watching the hockey game and sharing a pitcher with a group, perfect. -

Let's start with the positives: cheap wings that come in a variety of delicious flavors, and lots of screens on which to enjoy whatever sporting event (probably hockey).
Yet, however lip-smackingly good the wings may be, the customer service here is terrible when the place gets busy (which is guaranteed during all hockey games), and the person most guilty of this is the restaurant's owner.
A small group of friends and I went to Wing's well before a hockey game and tried to grab a seat. Upon seeing that the place was busy, I walked in and tried to see if there was a table available. On the way, I came across the path of the owner, and our conversation went like this:
Owner: Excuse me, are you looking for a friend?
Me: No, I was just looking to see if there were any tables available.
Owner: No! We have no more tables! Now get out of the way!
Me: I'm sorry, but what about that table? (points to a table in the corner, with no signs indicating any reservations)
Owner: Our head office is coming. Now please move!
Me: (I notice I'm not really in the way of her doing anything) Uh... I mean, I'm sorry, I really don't mean to be rude but...
Owner: Can I get this food to the table? (owner walks by, and does not address me again)
If there is anything I have learned from Seinfeld, it is that no matter how good the product may be, you should not put up with an establishment that takes its customers for granted (read Jeff T's review of Wings for another example of this: http://www.yelp.ca/use...). There are so many sports bars in Vancouver that it is not worth putting up with the service here. -

Bobby wings = dangerous spiciness that lingers!!!!!!
They have you sign a consent form too!! Love their 2-5 hours $.39 wings, min order of 10 per taste.. Great deal!
There were 4 of us and we ordered the bobby wing, from the house of pain, jammin' jamaican, mesquite bear barbeque, bombay pineapple, and the sweet thai... Our favorite was the bombay pineapple... it had great flavors.. we really didn't care much for the jammin' jamaican.. and the bobby wings-- were on a different level on its own.. it was soo freakin spicy, our lips were burning the whole afternoon... i guess if you really cannot handle the spiciness, you can ask them for a milk concoction remedy too to cure the spiciness..
This place is a perfect spot to watch the game...there are tv's everywhere and a big projector in the middle of the room... You have to get there early to get a spot bc it gets packed pretty fast..and they also normally have $3-4 beer specials too.. -

"Mmmmm....wings..."
That was my thought when my dinner partner suggested that we go here for dinner.
"Let's forget that there's such a thing called vegetables."
Even better.
Now that the city has opened Granville Street back up, it's a lot less congested than before -- thanks to the "off-road" parking. I say it's a great idea, but those who are not good at parallel parking may disagree. Why? Because each parking space is sectioned out by 2.5 ft metal pole roadblock things on each end and at the sides.
Anyway...
The more wings you order, the better price per pound you get. The Honey Garlic was tasty and had plenty of juice going. The Texas Dry Rub was still juicy on the inside, and goes well with the Blue Cheese dip we ordered. Good and speedy service despite the dread of the upcoming HST. Is it just me, or is restaurant service going a bit downhill everywhere sans Chinese places?
Pretty good place to be for a game or just for the wings. I might just come back to try more of their other flavours. -

Wings Wings Wings. Oh yes. You should go for the Wings. Not for the calamari, not for the whatever else they have. Go there for some fat deep fried chicken Wings.
Not so cheap, those wings will probably find that spot in your stomach that will close it pretty good. What's not rocket science is, go there for the Wings and don't be fancy about it. Don't get fancy about the drinks either. I'm not a big fan of beer so I order cocktails there, they're not great but they're cheap and they get me where I want to be.
It's a PUB, not a fine dining. Actually, on their menu it says "Fine Dining" with the Fine changed to FUN. Service isn't great so maybe you want to change your behavior and ask for a table close to the bar or wherever the girls are. Why don't you order your cocktails (or beers) before yours is finished?
Moral of the story : go there, eat your chicken wings in Ranch sauce, have your beer, go home a little tipsy after cheering for your Canucks or whatever and don't think too much.
And that's all I have to say about that. -

I've been to Wings weekly for close to a year now. I've always had good to very good service and the wings have always been amazing. We go here quite frequently even on the non-wings special nights. Good beer selection though it is a little pricey.
Of course people come here for the Wings. My favorite are the Maui Lime, though there is a huge selection. You can get them from 1lb plates up to large buckets.
Also a great place to go for hockey games. Especially in the lower room, where there are several projectors and big screens.
Overall, I have been satisfied with Wings repeatedly and their service is always above average. -

The only reason we went here to eat was because all the other restaurants had lineups or were full to the rafters...
I ordered the calamari w/ a side of caesar salad. I found the calamari to be both undercooked and rubbery. And the romaine lettuce of the caesar salad was reddish and brown. Also, I was not offered any fresh ground pepper for the calamari or the caesar salad... and the pepper available on the table was inferior wasn't even black!
Bottom line - I won't be back. And that's all I have to say about that. -

This was one of my favourite places to go for drinks after work when I used to work downtown. I love wings and the ones they serve are the best I've had in the Vancouver area.
Wings Tap and Grill has 18 different kinds of wings, from buffalo to English salt 'n vinegar. One flavour is as good as the next. The only trouble is deciding which to order. They come in one to five pound plates, each accompanied with a bucket for tossing bones. Last time I went, they had a wing special if you ordered before 6pm on any week day. I would comment about the other food on the menu, but I've honestly never had any. It seemed like typical pub food. My companions never said much about it one way or the other.
The atmosphere at Wings is pretty good with comfortable seating, ambient dim lighting and funky decor. Later in the evenings they tend to play hip hop music, but a little too loud for my taste. I prefer not having to raise my voice to be heard. Yes, I'm a bit of an old granny when it comes to that sort of thing. -

I was walking the Granville strip with my friend Josh after a disappointing outing to Boss Night Club when we decided to walk into the fifth door that we passed. Luckily, this door led to WIngs.
Let me break it down for you. It's like someone took Hooters, made the interior mad swanky, pumped in hip hop music, and served it up with class. That's what WIngs is like.
I'd write something about their interior, like how comfy their chairs were and now awesome the art was, but seriously, this place was made for food.
Considering that we were at a restaurant that specialized in wings, we indulged ourselves in some. They have a pretty awesome variety of flavors and spices, and they have a lot of different dipping sauces. We tried a pound of Tokyo wings and two pounds of Spicy buffalo wings, while washing it all down with a pitcher of Stella Artois. The Tokyo wings were pretty damn bomb, but the Buffalo wings KILLED us. Our waitress was kind enough to split half of our wings as two stars and half of our wings as three stars on the spice meter. They have the usual five star rating for spiciness, and I can usually handle spicy pretty damn well, but consuming their three star wings was like drinking a bottle of Tabasco straight.
Regardless of the intestinal burn that I experienced later that night, I would definitely come back to Wings again. The waitresses are cute and talkative, the wings were bomb, they show sports on the tvs, there's a fully stocked bar, and they blast hip hop. That, my friends, is an invitation from me to come here and eat their three star wings without drinking anything.Listed in: Vancouver lovin!

I went here for the first time while staying at the attached Howard Johnson. But this place stands on its own very well- and doesn't come off as a generic hotel restaurant.
Actually, I have not had the wings here. They have a very decent menu that has always tempted me with other items. Most often I get the quesadillas and then a cheap pint of some Granville Island brew. (If you're on Granville St, I think you drink Granville brew.)
You can sit at the bar, some high round tables, or some comfy booths. I believe there's a patio, but I've never been in nice enough weather to even consider that. Sports is on TV- always. Good place to watch the Canucks or some curling. -

I came here the other day for lunch because I had a craving for buffalo wings, and with a name like "Wings" I figured I was coming to the right spot. I was wrong.
I got straight up buffalo wings with blue cheese dip, and I asked the waitress, whom I suspect was an esl student, that I wanted my wings extra saucy. When they arrived, there was barely any sauce on them let alone extra, so I asked for some hot sauce on the side which was your basic Frank's, and pretty much ruined the wings because they have to be sauced as soon as they come out of the fryer. Seriously people, I find it shocking how many places serve up bad wings (even those with wings in the name of the establishment), it's not rocket science.
The service was lousy - I actually had to leave my table to seek out the waitress a couple times.

Delicious cheap wings with a huge variety. If you go between 2 - 5 on any day, they're only 39 cents with a drink purchase. I was here in the late afternoon and ordered the honey garlic and mesquite bear BBQ wings. The honey garlic was good - full of flavour and sauce, but the mesquite bear BBQ was just okay. My dining companion likened it to shake in bake. I liked the crust of the wing, but other than that it lacked flavour and was very very dry.
We also ordered their spicy wok squid and these were GOOD. Its a little spicy and reminds me a lot of the salt & pepper squid you can get at Chinese restaurants.
Service was really poor. Our server was more interested in dancing and talking to other servers than actually doing her job. At one point a song came on that they really liked and they turned up the music and started dancing (more or less) in the middle of the restaurant. They weren't busy, just not doing their job. -

Great! Came here with a group and we were all well taken care of. The food was also tasty, reasonably priced, and arrived quickly. Would come again!

Love it Love it Love it!!!
Great tasting chicken wings and great service.
Nicola has always been a great server at Wings on Granville.
She's chilled, cool, and always smiling.
This place offers great selection for chicken wings. Burger was economical and taste great, too.
Ambiance was great, music is a little too loud imo.
Good selection of beer and there are plenty of TV's for me and my buddy to watch the game.
Just a great place to hang out with friends and waste quality time. -

wow this places is something else. this is the own place in Vancouver I can say full fill my hot wings needs. weather is between 2pm to 5pm during wing $0.35 spacial or late night after work this place hits the spot.
I come here a lot with my Friends and co workers after work.
its one of the many places that is a full restaurant and pub.
they have over 12 flavors of wings and are always adding new different flavors.
my flavor are the west cost original, Chicago Salt and pepper, Jamaican jerk, honey garlic, Italian roast red pepper, Maui lime,, Texas dry rub, hot buffalo wings and last but not least there bobby wings (warning these bad boys will knock you off your chair and put into a coma if your not careful. most people take one bite or eat like half of one or one before they are crying for water and milk, the most I have eaten is 10 of these bad boys and are they felt for the next few day)
the drinks here are awesome they have a drink spacial every day They best one is Friday nights they have 151 balimis. my flavoured drink is the pitcher of mojitos with green fair shots(absentine for those who dont know what it is)
the service is great here but if you come in the afternoon or after a hockey or football game this place can sometimes be packed and/or realyl busy so either wait or not(its worth the wait sometimes)
over all the food is awesome. this places is my wing places any day. I guess that's why they call it wings!
This places get my two chopsticks up way up.Listed in: two chopsticks

Wings is a popular sports pub on Granville Street. The crowd tends to have a healthy mix of weathered drunks, after work businessmen and downtown locals.
There is a sheltered patio out front great for grabbing a pint in fair weather. You needn't worry about appearances here, wear a loose waist band for maximum beer consumption. Although I prefer G Sports on game nights, Wings is a solid location to catch the Canucks, swig beer, and naturally indulge in the namesake. -

I personally love options when it comes to menus. This place has a surprisingly large selection of different wings even for a chicken wings restaurant. LOUISIANA SWEET was what I had last time. It was very flavourful and juicy. Not hot enough though even with my extra house fire dipping sauce. Nex time I am going for the ones you need to sign a waiver...
Also had the calamari, nothing to write home about. Stick to the wings.
Price is very reasonable compared to other restaurant that serve wings.
Both service and deco were good. -

HELLA WINGS and HELLA DIP!!!
Like Hooters but more classy. I even think there's a fireplace.
Apparently this restaurant turns into a club at night. But I'm cool off that. -

I've had better wings in the Bay..like Cluck U's in Santa Clara and Kezar Pub near the Haight Ashbury.
But this place beats the wings at most Hooters anyway *except the one in San Diego! I don't care HOW bad the wings are THERE!!! Hahahaa.
I'll admit, this place does have a selection of different wings of all different flavors. However, the wings were small and they were no different from the ones I could get from the freezer section at Safeway. It's a decent sports bar for various 12 ounce curls, Molsen, and Stella Artois. Lit plasma televisions adorn the sports memorabilia walls of this otherwise dungeoness place.
Emily, my hot waitress with the pink flower in her hair, who remembered my name off of my ID, I'm going to throw you over my shoulder and run off to Vegas with you.
