The beer was expensive. I had their house amber. They did have the football game on numerous widescreen TVs in the bar area. I didn't try the food. No WiFi sealed the deal for me. I won't be going much.
I prefer the Walkers Brew pub across the street. Even with the new restaurant opening, Walkers was absolutely packed on Sunday for football.
I did have some problems. They told me the card was misprinted, but that I'd get the discount anyway. They also took y card and wrote up the total before they took my credit card. I was gonna have another beer, but I decided to avoid the hassle. Then, when I got the bill, it didn't include the discount and we had to void and re-charge my card. Sloppy, but the lower price might get me there more often.

When I first went there it was a pretty good sports bar, but it's gone completely downhill in the last year. They have five taps; Canadian, Coors Light, Alexander Keiths, Budweiser an 50. Only Canadian and Coors Light have worked for the last ew months. They use to have Rickards Red, but it wouldn't pour properly from their taps and they discontinued it. Now I get Canadian and that tap doesn't pour properly either anymore. They have to discard 6 inches of head per beer and it taste like flat crap.
Further, they use to have a bunch of sports pics lining the wall. A half year ago, they renovated and never returned the memorabilia to the walls. I use to go there weekly in the summer. Now it's monthly. This place sucks. If they had competition in the area, then they would go bankrupt.
The course is still nice, but it's evidently falling into disrepair. Some sandpits are growing weeds between the harpan dirt. The sprinklers were running even while we golfed thru. The ground crew renched a green just before we played it. The back nine has a lot of 300 yard par-4 holes.
On the positive, it was 40 dollars with cart and he greens are very challenging/fast.
I then went to the Trinity Commons CT and they didn't have any on display. I aske a clerk and they didn't know what I was talking about. I told them it was on the website, so it had to be at the store. She looked it up and with a lot of help from me, she found it. There was 20+ of them in storage and none on display or on shelves. Ten minutes later, she brought two out for me to pick from.
Ask yourself how many customers would have driven to two Canadian Tires and pushed their clerks to get this. One. Just me. It's for my wife. Our 15th anniversary is this week.
Today, I visited one of the most ridiculous sports bar EVAR! The bar is located near the intersection of Derry and Hwy 10. I entered the bar just after 1PM today and it was completely empty. The bar itself is gorgeous with big flatscreen TVs located on every wall. I asked the bartender for a Rickards Red and she needed help pouring the beer from the manager. When I paid, the bartender asked if I needed exact change, because they didn't have pennies. I asked the manager and bartender if they had WiFi. I could see a signal, but it was password protected. They thought they did, but they didn't know anything about it.
Then a group entered. The bartender and manager didn't know how to make a Caesar or pretty much any other mixed drink, nor did they know where to find the ingredients. One of the customers took the initiative and started making the drinks himself. He had to search thru the 10+ fridges for Clamato juice as the bartender and manager watched him do their job.
Three month ago, this use to be a St Louis Bar and Grill. It was a fantastic looking bar back then as well, but I remember the service was just as ridiculous. I also remember that nobody was their when I visited either. I'm amazed they are still in business. I have to assume they have a great staff at the dinner hour.
Overall, we love the restaurant, but I just wish they had more reliable WiFi.

That happened two years ago and my eldest did her grade four in Catholic school, which in Canada is part of the publicly funded school systems. I noticed at first that the kids spent very few hours in school. There was no extra-culicular school activities. None. Then after a few months, I noticed my 9 year old was learning the same material as my 7 year old who was in private school. I wasn't worried, as my daughter had lots of friends at school and that was most important to me. Then in the second half of the year, my eldest informed us that she preferred private as public was too easy for her and she missed the extra activities only available in the private school system.
This year we returned her to private school. Now she's really struggling. She is doing review of grade four work, but for her it's all new, since the public system was two years behind. I have to teach her fundamental math concepts that she skipped because of that one year in the public system.
Are you sending your kid to public school? If you are then they are two years behind by grade four. I wonder how far they are behind in grade twelve? The public system is a failure. They have failed your kids. They have failed you. We are looking at a two tier system, one for the rich and one for the poor. The rich kids will be smarter and it'll be difficult for people to exceed the class of their parents.
Saturday night, I stopped by 5 Rivers Pub on the way home. It's located at Bovaird and Airport in Brampton in the heart of the middle eastern district (Bramladesh). The conventional thinking would be that such a pub wouldn't work in the middle of a far eastern district and it is the only pub, I know of, in that area. The pub was full. Completely full. They were standing outside in the Canadian cold. I didn't bother checking it out. I'll check it out off-hours.
