Went with a group of newer Canadians that had never been to a pub . We were celebration a graduation. Hit trivia night . Ordered appetizers to share, drinks. Great service, a whole lot of fun. Close to Sky Tran as we were from all over…

Christmas party thrown by TD. James the bartender was great, really knows his drinks. Venue was great for pub feel chats with pinball machines and other fun games there too.
