Leopold's Tavern (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada)


Leopold's Tavern, 2330 Albert Street, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.  www.leopoldstavern.com  It is named after Leopold George Duncan Albert who was the eight child and fourth son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.  He was the Duke of Albany.  In fact it was proposed to name after the Duke and call it Leopold.  That did not occur and in 1982 Leopold's sister Princess Louise named it Regina after her mother.  (Regina means queen).  Great way to name a pub.  We loved this place, very quaint and very cool. Lots of Saskatchewan only licence plates on the wall. 12 beer on taps and rotating taps so you get to try different beers if you come enough.  This place sits about 20 people!  Lots of everything on the walls.  Out back is a narrow patio area with 9 red picnic tables with umbrellas.  On Mondays from 4 pm to close they have buckets of bacon for $6.00.  To eat I had the Mac and cheese with panko crumbles and Ritz crackers on top, oh yes it was very good!  The service was excellence and very friendly! We love this place and if you are ever in Regina this is a must go!!! Definitely 2 thumbs up!

Victoria's Tavern (Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada)



Victoria's Tavern  1965 Hamilton Street, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada   www,victoriastavern.ca  This building was built in 1933 and originally housed the Canada Loan and Trust Company.  In 1914 they renovated it tin to Victoria's Tavern. It has a nice long sit up bar with curved corners.  It seats 15 people.  The vault is uses as  small private room called, "TheTank" and seats about 15 people.  Super cool!  As you enter the tavern on the left is a room called "Mosse's Music Room" and the walls are covered in record album covers. The main tavern area has lots of pictures from Victorian times and of old Regina.  Up above the pub is a barber shop and you can also get there up the sirs from in the pub.  All of the tables and chairs are pub high!  For food I had the Bison sliders which were 3 sliders and were fantastic! My pub adviser had the taco salad with blackened chicken and it was also very good!  The washrooms had a sign advising to check out the little brother pub called "Leopold's".  We really enjoyed this place and the food and service were very good!!

Cornerstone Bar and Grill (Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada)


Cornerstone Bar and Grill,8 Main Street,Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada www.cornerstonemoosejaw.com  Stopped in before the Historic under ground tunnels tours that are located next door. Both tours are great, one about the Al CAPONE days of liquor smuggling during prohibition in the USA. and the other about the dark times of Chinese migrants in the late 1800's. It has a simple 10 person sit up bar.  Down stairs is really cool, it is called "Capones Parlour" and is full of antiques and made to look like the times of Al Capone.  They have 12 different types of beer on tap.  This building was built around 1998/1999 and apparently there has been a bar here of some sort since then.  Across the street in the old train station is a very cool liquor store and not related to this pub though.  Go to Moose Jaw and see the tours and try the pub out as you wait!

St. James Gate Irish Pub (Banff, Alberta, Canada)


St. James Gate Irish Pub  207 Wolf Street, Banff, Alberta Canada.  Well located in downtown Banff, this pub was built and manufactured in Ireland.  Very beautiful inside.  It has a large 22 person sit up bar which is kind of rectangular but is divided up.  Thursdays are Irish fare days and everything Irish on the menu is $13.  I had the Steak and stout pie, it was awesome.  the pastry was very good, and the pie has lots of meat.   The beef dip was also rated as very good.  the Steak sandwich was rated fair at best.  Service was good and friendly.  It was fairly busy here which \i guess is a good sign.  \kids are allowed.
