This place is fairly large and, though not quite as raucous as its close Australian-themed neighbour Walkabout, is still fairly crammed with young Canadians and tourists. The decor is the kind of stuff you might expect — Mountie uniform, ice hockey equipment, a rather small stuffed moose, some kind of log-cabin effect. |

As you'd expect from the name, this is a Canadian-themed pub in Covent Garden, near the Strand.
This place is fairly large and, though not quite as raucous as its close Australian-themed neighbour Walkabout, is still fairly crammed with young Canadians and tourists. The decor is the kind of stuff you might expect -- Mountie uniform, ice hockey equipment, a rather small stuffed moose, some kind of log-cabin effect.
The ales on tap are London Pride and Greene King IPA. Apart from the usual options, they also have some Canadian lagers on tap, like Labatt's (avoid it) and Sleeman Honey Brown Lager (£1.80/half), which isn't bad at all. There are bottled Canadian lagers too, and the wine list ranges from £12-15 a bottle.
Food is served at least in the evenings and lunchtimes. Staff hover around the tables expectantly to take your order if you wish for some "buffalo wings" (£4.50), poutine (£4.25, which are chips with melted cheese and beef gravy), or any of the mains (ranging from £6-9) or other light snacks.
The wings are excellent, the fish comes in two sizes - large and monster movie - although the chips were very dull.
