went here tonight. the pints of big rock traditional ale were I-FRICKIN-DENTICAL to having it back home. that's the only one i drank but they have all the BR beers on tap here.

and the bar was pretty much deserted except for me and my lady friend. it's a saturday in gangnam. i'm assuming that, while a good wholesome idea, this particular canadian-themed bar is not going to go over as well as the more low-rent one in sh*taewon we're more familiar with.

This was already posted in another thread, Sean. I've been there two Fridays in a row and it had a sustainable enough crowd. The trad is good, and I wsa pleased by the Black Amber, but the Grasshopper didn't keep well.

i saw the thread on the broke board. i used the "useless-as-*beep*-on-a-nun" search function to see if it'd already been posted here.

i dunno. it was dead as hell. i urge everyone to go there.

and my name isn't sean, it's khristos burbank.

I went there a second time two days ago and there were a few more people than before, maybe about a third of them (I assume) Canadian.

Maybe the next Dave's get-together should be there too.

No pale ale? That would have been sweet.

they serve the big rock warthog pale ale. if you don't like that, the traditional ale is a very light-bodied and flavorful beer.

If there is another Dave's get-together I nominate this place and I vow to come. Friday nights are best.

Sounds like Heaven. God bless this man for opening this pub. Hope it does well. Spread the word.

Has anybody been to this pub recently?
I have no doubt that the beer is excellent, but how about the food?
