Deep fried what now? Pickle. Yep, the Ship's got deep fried pickles on their menu. When I saw that, somehow I wasn't surprised. When I tasted it though, I most certainly was. Who knew I'd like deep fried pickles?

A spot known for it's variety in…More »

Wild Rose Brewery, how do I love thee? I'd try to the count the ways, but I'm afraid I won't ever be able to stop. From your tap room to your tours to your staff who are so obviously passionate about your product, if I'm not heading out there for a…More »

What's still awesome about Brewster's downtown? The blueberry ale. Always was, always will be. The service is also still right up there. These guys have a good formula going.

But what's changed? Renos for one. It's about half the size it used to be,…More »

  8/4/2010 First to Review

On the corner of Barlow Trail and 27th Ave NE, the Toad'N'Turtle is a comfortably sized pub with decent food drink.  I've never had any bad experiences near, never any over the top ones either.  But that's a good thing in my books, because it means…More »

You're up, you're down. You've landed somewhere in the middle. 1410, once upon a time I really did enjoy your surroundings, your staff and your offerings. But over the last year or so something changed. Your music got louder, you just seemed to have…More »

Another Yelp Eats night, another restaurant! Wednesday night found me at the District (admittedly, it was my second visit this week). In past visits, my food choices generally revolved around pub food and appys. District is a great place to hang out,…More »

Businesses seem to turn over a fair bit in this particular building, though I've never heard reason why. The layout is fantastic. It's a longer room with seating all the way from the front to the back. The back would be ideal to rope off if you…More »

If you've ever lived in the NW, surely you've been to The Kilkenny. The standard North American Irish pub in the neighbourhood, the place is always busy.

The pub is big, with a front and a back section and ample seating. The food's as good as any pub…More »

I always hear stories about independent coffee shops shutting down when a big chain moves in nearby. I'm happy to see there is no such thing happening to Coffee Cats Cafe being that there's a Second Cup with a drive through window right next door.
