778-574-4446 www.originaljoes.ca It has a great location right on the North West corner of Hwy #10 and Hwy #15 in Cloverdale, B.C.. Excellent for travelers from U.S.A. heading to Whistler or where ever. It is about 7 miles straight north of the PAC Highway border crossing and on the way to Hwy #1. They have 16 different types of beer on tap including 5 of the Original Joe's beer. They also have numerous canned and bottled beer as well. Thursday is a great day to go as it is 1/2 price on all bottles of wine. They have daily food and drink specials. There is a catch to this place.....they allow children. When we were there any one who came in with young children were all seated along the north wall so they didn't bother the rest of the patrons. There is a nice sidewalk patio that faces west and runs the whole front of the bar. 2 large roll up garage doors can be opened up from the inside area to the patio. They have a nice sit up bar that seats 11 people. Along the walls they have booths and the rest is high bar chairs and tables. Several of the tables seat 6 easily. The food was very good. I had the Hawaiian burger that had peppered bacon, pineapple and terriaki sauce with lettuce, tomato on it. It also comes with your choice of 2 side dishes, I had the coleslaw and the french fires which also come with gravy. Other sides include salad, yam fries and a couple of other things but I can't remember. The burger, fries and coleslaw was all very good. There is a lot of food on your plate. My assistant the "Blogger Babe", had the fish tacos which she said were very good and she gave them an 8 out of 10!! There was no shortage of servers all of whom were were very friendly and helpful! With 6 flat screen TVs you won't miss any sports either! The washrooms are very modern and clean, they should be as they have only been open for 6 weeks! I really enjoyed my visit here and for sure I will be back. It is located in a small mall with a Chocolate shop, Staples, M&M meats, Vera's Burgers, Starbucks, Rexall Drugs and a few more opening up.
