With time to kill I dropped into The Train Station Pub. Seems like I always have 'time' I know but such is not always the case.
The venue is quaint, an old train station, and I guess the decor matches that theme. Bright, open, lots of wood and brick. I was waiting for the whistle but it never came.
I sat by some windows (of which there are many) and surveyed the joint. My server, Jill, was 'johnny on the spot' and arrived promptly. She was friendly and interacted easily.
I ordered the flight of 4 house beers for $8, in my case the TSP Lager, TSP Honey Lager, the Steamworks IPA (didn't see that listed as an IPA on the drink list), and the Prohibition Amber. All were good. I'm not the biggest IPA fan but it was certainly tolerable and not too hoppy.
For food I chose the SQUEEKY POUTINE for $12. It was made with cheese curds, black pepper fries and chicken gravy. I have to say it was one of the best poutine I've ever had.
To round out the visit I chose a glass of the Honey Lager. It's interesting that their drink sizes are not typical, 14 oz and 21 oz.. Perhaps so they can be priced lower than others.
All in all I enjoyed my stay. I find all pubs a bit noisy (people noise) but that is likely just me (old age and all that). The age group was varied with some children being present. Not a deal breaker in my mind.
Coles Notes of my visit to The Train Station Pub are: 4 for service, 4.5 for food (same for drinks), 4 for decor, 3.5 for price. Overall a 4.0.
Thanks again for listening.
