This is an awesome place to enjoy craft beers with a group! I came on a Monday night, which was a…read moreholiday, and our group of 7 was able to easily grab a table on the upper floor. I love the laid-back environment. We knew in advance that they allowed outside food, so we brought in our own pizza! There are a variety of beer sizes available, depending on your preference. Sometimes you want to try a new beer and don't feel like committing to a large size. And maybe you're a curious person like me and want to try more than one? I appreciate that there were 220ml and 330ml options available. Will definitely be back. The flexibility of being able to bring your own food is a huge selling point.

Only took about 2 years, but this place is finally open. Rejoice…read more Parking is available in the parking stalls next to the building. There's nothing else open around here on the weekends, so this place has the market cornered. This place is in the middle of nowhere. The outside admittedly looks really dumpy. Hopefully they clean that up at some point. With that said, the inside looks pretty awesome. There are a few spots by the bar counter, as well as an upstairs mezzanine. There's even an old school T2 pinball machine. Staff are cheery and helpful. As of the time of writing, they currently can't do flights yet. They have half (207mL, 7oz) and full (414mL, 14oz) pours. Bit of a strange number to be honest. They have 12 brews available, so there is no currently way to efficiently clean out the place. Hopefully they have flights soon. The beers I tried (Young, Wild & Hazy; Pool Side Hefe) were both quite delicious. Solid 4.5 stars (knock off 0.5 for lack of flights). I will be back at some point to try some other beers. Recommended.

Tried more of their dinner items. The sliced beef in sour soup is super tasty. Wow. Not sure what…read morekind of crack they put in it. Nice peppery kick. Plenty of beef slices and enoki mushroom. I really have to recommend this dish. Also had a pile of their skewers. Taiwanese sausage, chicken gizzard, and 2 flavours of wings. Not the cheapest, but similar in pricing to the competition. Everything got gobbled up. Delicious. Honestly I wish more people knew about this place. I think the only thing stopping them is the rather "bad" (not too visible) location. The 5 star rating for dinner remains.

Went for their lunch ayce buffet. It used to be 16.88 but now they upped it to 18.88…read more The first time I went there was crab and braised pork belly. The second time there were clams and lamb neck? The things that were the same: tomato egg, dumplings, steamed baos, chineze fried donut, and cold dishes like bean sprouts, smashed cucumbers, tea egg, tofu dessert. They also have hot soy milk for drinks. Their deep fried chinese donut has got to be the best I've ever had in my life. With the price of a pair of fried donut being over $6 these days, I get my fix here. Other things are standard, good but not outstanding. I really like having soy milk to drink instead of water. $18.88 is getting a little steep for a limited choice buffet with not too many meat choices. The crab/clam are a nice addition but if there are days without it, it wouldn't be worth. I would rate the food from this place higher than the similar chinese lunch box style place in richmond, K squared mansion.

Apparently it becomes a dance floor where we were seated and that was the calm before the storm. Husband's burger was burnt, so we appreciated that our server took it away and comped us a new one. Kids seemed to enjoy their food. Place is noisy with sports games on the TVs. Parking is a little challenging in the underground lot but I liked that it was free. If coming to this building, I prefer the Wild Fig for brunch. Great service. Average food. Unmemorable atmosphere.

It was long overdue that we knocked out some Canadian breweries on my list so it felt quite accomplishing trying out some. For Yellow Dog we had the Chase My Tail Pale Ale which was quite good! Flavor features in this beer are hoppiness, floral and with a clean finish. The beer is smooth and is light bodied. This beer was a good introduction to this brewery and we enjoyed it quite a bit during our stay!

I'm not a huge fan of their IPA (a bit too hoppy for my taste), but that's more personal preference than anything else. Really like their cider too! The food truck outside is such a fun touch, and the dirty fries or onion rings are total winners as sides with the beers--loaded, flavorful, and exactly what you want with a pint. The space itself is cozy and modern and filled with greenery, but it can get super loud, especially on trivia nights or events. So if you're going for a quiet catch-up, pick a less busy time. That said, the service is always friendly and quick, and the crowd is very New West--cool, relaxed, and inclusive. It's a great place to chill, support local, and enjoy some solid craft beer. Definitely worth a visit!

The people we sat by…read morewere all really nice and even offered us their pool table that they had paid for but didn't end up using. There's free parking outside, just register your license plate when you enter the building. I went with 2 other friends on a Saturday night. The place was pretty full but we got lucky and only had wait a few minutes for a table. It was decently loud inside but it was still easy to have a conversation. The waitress we got was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. I'm also super envious of her memory because there's no way I can remember who had which drink without writing it down for so many tables throughout the night!!! My friend also asked for a drink recommendation for the last round and she gave a great one. There's a lot of selection for drinks, as well as food. I really like their shared plates of finger food like tater tots and onion rings. My fish and chips were also very good. The table beside us ordered nachos and it looked huge and very delicious.

Aside from the time warp location, the food is easily 4*s, and honestly, I'd say it's better than White Spot as a comparable. The clubhouse sandwich contained actual turkey breast, not the deli turkey breast slices a lot of places use. That's an easy win right there. Very reasonable pricing to boot! It's basically a sports bar/pub grub menu set up. Pool tables as well. Lighting is on the darker side, with friendly and courteous service. They chat with you since they're curious as to how you know about the place. It's definitely not on too many peoples' radar for sure. They seem to like their hockey, as there are a couple of jerseys hanging. Guy Lafleur, Paul Henderson's autographed jersey from the Summit Series 1972, and a couple of others. Located in the basement of the Lougheed Village Mall, which is literally the Land that Time Forgot. I'm not exaggerating. Come and have a look for yourself. Free validated parking if you eat here. Recommend that you go for a stroll in the upper and lower levels and the courtyard whilst you're here. Maybe come in the evening during Halloween. You won't need to spook yourself out at a graveyard. This mall will suffice you plenty.
