The Portside Bar in the Prince Arthur Hotel (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/prince-arthur-waterfront-hotel-and-suites-thunder-bay) is a fantastic place to unwind from the day, relax and have a cocktail. This quiet secluded section of the restaurant though brightly lit, has the impression of intimacy, in that the small cocktail lounge tables and the 60s-style chairs bring you and your party close together. This is not a drinking hole, but a meeting place to start an evening. There's one beer on tap (Coors Light) so don't bother. Find something of a bottled variety or cozy in with a mixed drink. Though not nearly as elegant as the King Edward cocktail lounge (http://www.yelp.ca/biz/le-meridan-king-edward---cocktail-lounge-toronto), it still puts me in mind of the place. Connected to an old-style hotel in a landmark building, I guess it's got a bit in common with its Toronto cousin. Just don't tell it that. Toronto and Thunder Bay don't get on well.

My go-to hotel in Thunder Bay due to the proximity to the airport. They renovated recently which…read moregave the hotel rooms a much needed facelift. The rooms are clean and they have pet-friendly rooms available. The only issue we had is that the washroom is quite small. (When you open the door it barely has enough space not to hit the toilet.) There is also a hotel restaurant which is convergent but a bit on the pricey side (the food is decent but nothing standout).

You seat yourselves and it can take up to 20 mins before you get menus if you decide to stay that long. Recently, we waited that long, with the girl at the bar looking at us but not coming over or saying anything to us. Finally we gave up and left. This is not the first time this has happened. The only reason we keep coming back is the food.

Also a nice touch that didn't go unnoticed was that they gave 2 lemon wedges, one for each sandwich, much appreciated. Cobb salad was excellent too. Good ratio of toppings to lettuce. Blue cheese dressing was delicious. Salad was pre-chopped and tossed in dressing which was nice. Service was good as well. Overall a great lunch, happy we gave it a try while in town.
