I am a regular to this location, almost on a weekly basis, because I work DT and this place also happens to be right in the middle of work locations for my buddies & I.  We go for Friday after work drinks.

The food is generally good and the waitresses…More »

When this place first opened, I never bothered to go because it was waaaay too crowded and the lineups were long.  Reason being was the hiring practices, you get the idea.

So I made it in a couple of times for drinks with my AA buddies.  It's OK.  I…More »

Pub grub........again.  Noisy, and crowded if you come here on game night, but that is the same with any pub type establishment in town.

Bigger beer list compared to wine, I prefer wine. :(

I come here for drinks.  If I eat, it will be appys and I am…More »

Another pub, another meeting place for my alcoholic buddies, and another place where I become deaf after coming out.

It's loud, the food is nothing to write home about, and it can get quite crowded.  Actually, really crowded to the point of standing…More »

This used to be called Legends before the renos.  Other than that, it has pretty much the same layout, with an eating/drinking area downstairs.  I find that the surroundings are dark because of the way it is painted.

Foodwise, it's still pub grub to…More »

Loud.   What's that you said?  I said LOUD.  HUH???   I SAID LOUD!!!!!!

It's worse when you have a Canucks game on one of the big screens.

Food?  Meh to terrible.

2.5 stars.

Warning, this is a snob review coming.

Pub grub, not terribly spectacular, and well.......not terribly terrible.  Drinks are OK, and the place can get crowded, and busy.   Don't really care for the interior (even after renos) and the place…More »

Over all meh experience. 1.5 stars.  

I've come here multiple times for after work drinks and snacks.  Food is nothing special at all, plain, bland, and not memorable for the price paid. Interesting workers and interesting environment.   Not too sure…More »

Recently updated lists from Herman E.

The X-Files - For the paranormal, or just paranoid (4)

The truth is out there.

These are places that have made me shake my head.  I'm sure there are peeps that they cater to, but they're not for me.

The artist in you (8)

I do like my gear and I do like photography, but I do it mostly the old fashioned way - film.  Maybe you do too?  If not, this is just as good for digital, as it is for film.  How many of you have used Kodachrome 25?  I have.  =D

"Hey! Be a man! Do the right thing!" - Russell Peters (23)

As opposed to being a girly man.  Places to get your gear, grooming stuff, and to buff up.  I'll admit it up front, I'm a fashionista.  It's a crime, I know, so leave me alone!

I want my food dead. Not sick, not dying, dead. (11)

Making sure my food is dead and remains dead!

Liquid grapes (8)

Places where I frequent to get my fill of a certain fermented grape beverage

All about the kids (7)

Businesses with children in mind

XXI Forever (4)

Going to school again.  Conference centres that I have been to.

Weekend with the boys (38)

Every now and then the guys get together to act immature and make fun of each other.  Here is where we do it.

You're probably wondering what courses I have not played in the Vancouver area.  There are still a couple kicking around that I haven't put a divot into yet!!

Hollywood North (6)

I can't act but I managed to almost unwittingly become an extra on a made for TV movie one time I played at the Fraserview Golf Course.

Sadly, I ended up on the cutting room floor.

A listing of stage venues.

So you think you can dance? (2)

Ballroom dance schools.  Too bad there are not enough of these around.
