This place was packed for dinner and all the other pubs in town were quiet.  That tells you some thing there!!  Very cool and funky in here.  They have a 10 person sit-up bar.  The bar stools are all log posts and the backs are made out of the top halves of old skis and snowboards, they re really neat!! There is lots of sports stuff on the walls and old pictures too.  Lots of ski stuff on the walls, as this is  big ski and snowmobile area in the winter. They have on booth in a corner that seats 8 and in the other corner is  booth that seats 4.  They have nice old wood tables with round back wood chairs.  There is s nice outside patio area to the side over looking the street. 6 TV's through out. The water for the table comes in a large mason jar and the water glasses are small mason jars!  I had the perogies that came covered in melted cheese and bacon, mmmmmmm good!  D had the Stir fry which was loaded and she said very good too! They are known for their  pizzas and we saw some come out and boy did they look amazing too!  The service is very good and very friendly!!

Dayzoff Sports Pub and Eatery   630 Kingsway N/E, Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada   www.dayzoffpub.com  Pretty bland on the out side but much nicer inside.  They have a very nice 5 person sit-up bar when you enter.  I wonder why they made it so only 5 people can sit there.  There are 2 projection screens and 9 TV's through out (some around the 65 inch size).  They have 2 really cool pub high tables.  The seats are 2 large semi circular benches with round table top and each table can seat 10 people or maybe 2 more if you get cozy.  They also have 2 pub high picnic tables. There are 2 pool tables and several arcade games. Out front in the parking lot is a raised patio area.  There is sports stuff ll over the walls and hanging from the ceiling.  The dance floor is cool, it is white tile and made to look like  hockey rink complete with blue lines, red line and face off circles.  As for beer there are 7 different types on tap.  For dinner I had the Greek chicken Wrap with fries For $124.00.  Came with lettuce, olives, Tomatoes, cucumbers, Greek dressing, and Feta cheese with grilled chicken (can get crispy chicken).  It was very good!  My dining partner D had the Tao Salad, Seasoned beef (or chicken\0 on  bed of lettuce, topped with lettuce, black olives, green onions, Jalapenos, Nacho cheese, sour cream and salsa in a home made taco bowl.  It was really good too.  the service was good and friendly, they waitresses were very interactive with the patrons.

I wish I got the waitresses name, she was one of the best waitresses I have had in a while.  She was very prompt, very cheerful, not pushy at all.  We all really liked it here , great feel inside too!

Beach Bar (Grand Beach, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada)

Beach Bar (at Sandbar Motor Inn) Lot 3 Hwy 12, Grand Beach Manitoba, Canada.  Before I talk about the Beach Bar, you need to know a little about Grand Beach.  Located on the bottom east side of Lake Winnipeg about 55 Km's  (31) miles north of Winnipeg.  This is a big lake: 24,54 square kilometers or, 9,465 Square miles in size.   This is an amazing beach with the finest sand probably anywhere in the world and several miles long.  In the late 1970's or early 1908's Playboy rated it as one of the top 10 beaches in the world!!  Any way i could go on and on about that.  The Beach Bar has a bar but you cant sit at it.   It kind feels like a gymnasium in here.  2 poor tables and 4 different types of beer on tap.  They have 3 tv's here, but when we were here for lunch the Bartender had a Soap Opera going....go figure.  There are a couple of semi circular booths both seating 4 people.  There is n outside patio are n front.  We Were here in \\\\Mid June on  Thursday around 1 pm.  It was very quiet so you think the service was going to be god.  We had to keep waiting as the Bartender kept taking beer can/ bottle returns over paying customers.  For lunch I hd the boiled perogies, bacon and fried onions with sour cream, they were pretty good. D had the Greek Salad and said it too was pretty good.  We shared the Deep fried dill pickles and the mozza sticks they too weren't bad at all.  The parking lot was a mess with huge pot holes and they were filled with water.   Need to get it graded. As for bars in the area this is pretty much it. If for no other reason come up to see the beach (lots of camping here too!)

There e 5 other booths and a back out door patio area that has 5 picnic tables.  For beer they have 5 rotating taps and all local beer.  Domestic beer is in bottles.  The regular hard liquor.  for wine all they had was red/ white  Frontera from Chile. We ate light, I had the Cesar salad it was OK.  D had the Corn chowder and small Cesar salad both were OK.  The bartender/ waiter never did ask us if we wanted a second drink, he just gave us the bill, so we took that as time to go.
