Sarnia

About the restaurant

Established in 1996, Paddy Flaherty’s interior was designed in Dublin and built in Wexford, Ireland. It was shipped over and reassembled here at Sarnia Bay. The moment you walk through the door, you immediately feel welcome. You’re not just a customer, you’re a friend. Scott has owned and operated Paddy’s for more than 25 years. At our Pub, we don’t separate what we believe from what we serve. We believe quality time should be spent over quality fare. Which is why we will always strive to satisfy your appetite for honest food and great company while bringing you good times that happen for no reason – which is the best reason of all.

The Wooly Pub

Pub

Guelph

About the restaurant

Perhaps the Wooly concept is best represented by renowned Canadian artist Charlie Pachter’s Queen on a Moose” paintings. These pictures conveyed what would happen if a British pub was transferred to Canada. That pub would feature local foods, beverages and decor. It would be an All-Canadian pub featuring the best of the British pub culture. A local or home-base pub for its guests.

The Wooly was inspired by the Ontario micro-brewery explosion that occurred in the late 1980’s. The brewery industry was dominated by 3 large companies for over 40 years until the start of the craft brewery phenomenon. Teaching a course on beers at the University of Guelph Bob Desautels was keenly aware of this development. When an opportunity to open a pub in downtown Guelph emerged he decided to feature only small micro-brews on tap.

The rest is history!

King West

About the restaurant

This is not an Irish pub. It’s some Northern Irish love. We pay tribute to the sensibilities of proper pubs by way of the simple values to true publicans:
Honest beer — like the kind made by the hand of true craftsmen,
Unique cocktails — ones that leave you in no disillusionment that you’re drinking alcohol. And real tasty food — the sort that fills the belly and the soul.
Please contact belfastlove@freehouse.co for details on Reservations or Event Bookings!

As always I am a regular and come when certain bands are there. We were quite a few people. Service was great and to be on the safe side, I ordered a salad since I was so disappointed in the hamburger the last time. Had a great time and see you again on June 24
