  Probably my go-to spot in Vancouver for wings, especially on Tuesdays (wing night) with 50c wings. The flavours are delicious (I'm partial to the Black Dragon or Salt & Pepper), lots of beers on tap, TVs to watch just about any game you'd like, plenty of seating, and a great patio to hang out on in the summer.

  good food, decent prices. good taps. service depends on where you're sitting, a lot of blind corners here. split patio is interesting idea.

  Best bar on the drive. Not too loud or quiet. Drink specials on Canucks games. Proper pints you can't find elsewhere in the correct glassware. Best bar to sit on hands down. Menu is not best on drive but it's a bar first and foremost, and food is decent.

  Find this place one time on a trip to see an art show nearby. After getting a predicted 2 hour wait at the "famed" Stormcrow down the block (the same scenario every time, even when it looks half empty...) we convinced the artists we were with that this was unreasonable and far too pretentious for a noisy festival-seating we're lucky enough to stumble on this place.
  
  We we seated immediately, the service was stellar, and food variety/unique flavour combinations demonstrated top-notch culinary training. Their menu items were a lot closer to gourmet level work, but the atmosphere was really neat and still on the comfy pub-fare spectrum. It was busy & bustling, but not so noisy you couldn't carry on a reasonable conversation. My friends were impressed by the beer selection. Prices were excellent, especially considering the very high quality of the food. Lots of good veggies worked into yummy sides and garnishes, meaning it felt more fresh and real than the typical greasy-fried leaning of most similar establishments. An impressive variety of meats available as well (if that's your thing): rabbit & bison/buffalo dishes were in season at the time. An air of almost sushi-style care to presentation of each plate. Very visually appealing food & interior design. Highly recommend it over all the other places I've tried on The Drive recently.
