King's Head... you can chat while you drink, good curry, good pub grub, nice pool tables and dart boards, central location with beautiful little park across the street, terrace in the summer... what more could you want? (other than Jet Fuel available in the gorgeous bottles AND on tap!)
but I haven't been to Winnipeg since September 2005... don't know how fast things change.

Being on the patio at Pony is ok, but inside the bar is terrible, service is bad as the bartenders tend to ignore the men. It's the only place that doesn't let me run a tab, so I don't go there anymore, I say Go Jets Go them!

LOL, Boogie nights was the first city bar I was in LEGALLY! whoooo. I must say after events that have taken place last night.. I now HATE with a passion (not that i liked it before) TYC. This is the most stupid Go Jets Go bar out there. Last night we got there.. I gave my ID to get in.. this chick who was prob 18.. or barely... looked at it and went to her manager... he looked at me and said it was a fake ID. I laughed.. I am like.. NO... Then he went on to say that it wasnt' me... I laughed even more and asked him who it was then... He then asked me what sign I was.. address and so forth.. I had to match the signature.. and I did all this.. which he then said it wasnt' me .. HE kept my ID and we had to leave... I felt bad so I told my friends to go back in and Ill get a ride... (pals were at powerball) THEN I was in the hotel lobby... 3 of my friends told me that they can't take my ID. They said they can refuse entry but can't take it.. so I asked to speak withthe manager.. I ended up talking with this guy and it looked like I was gonna get my ID back ... whennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn guess what stupid Go Jets Go came... That bald dude... He then told me not to talk loud... into which I raised my voice even more.. he refused to give me my ID.. and told me to wait outside... I said no.. then he grabbed my arm and I told him not to lay a Go Jets Go hand on me .. .he grabbed me again and I told him not to touch me... he said that if I show him more id he'd give it back.. I didn't bring anymore of course.. So i decided to phone my cop friend to get him to help me with this.. whennnnnnn .. bald dude told me to take the convo outside.. which I said I have the right to talk on my phone where the hell I want too... Then these guys came in (BC FANS) and started hecklin the manager guy saying... "you let all the scuzzy asses in but you dont' let this cute one in... your gay!... " I laughed at that one.. and they ended up finding out what happened and they all looked at this "fake" id and said that it was me... and it is so stupid that he would think other wise... I dyed my hair... ohhhhh I guess its not me.. God... So I was in this lobby/outside for a total of about 3 hours... My cousins couldn't come get me .. they had to stay in the country cause number six was so bad... People at Powerball didn't get out til like midnight anyway... so I ended up calling a pal and he came to get me... I have never been so embarrassed or humiliated in my life... I hope I see that jerk somewhere... oh will I let him have it... PS If I was drunk.. I prob would have done something stupid like punch him.. which is really appealing right now still... But I would have been arrested or something...

Oh...I'm not mistaken, My good friend was a "Door Man" at Strawberries, but Nite moves sure had a blitz Friday nights. Like I said, good times......

Monty's. I have a strong family history there, dating to well before my time. My family still make up a strong % of profit made there.
Yes the bar is small and a bit scummy, but it suits me perfectly. - Lots of TV's with sports on - VLT's separate from the rest of the bar - NO DRESS CODE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Decent music before 10pm (time I leave anyways) - Exotic Ballet at lunch and happy hour (something I miss being in edmonton)
My pops lives across the street from there, so thats my hangout when planning visits with friends. To bad the hotel is a dive, or else i'd stay there more often.

The day I ever wait in line at a bar or am told what I can and can't wear will be the day they tell me the Jets are never coming back.
No bar is worth a line-up unless you are in desperate need of you-know-what. They all serve the same beer.
I vote (remember, I'm married)
Today:
Fox and Hound King's Head The Heights The Pal (cougarville!) or anything WITHOUT dance music....hated it then, hate it now!
If it were 1996 again (drowning my sorrows of the Moose being our new team)
The Pemby (pitchers $5.75, university crowd central) Georgies (95 cent bottles and shots + spin the wheel draft as low as $1 a pitcher!, great live bands) Palladium (25 cent draft and no VLTs which meant no wasted money) The A (just because) Scandals (for 18-18.5 year old girls) The Charlie (St. Jamers are now infriging on your bar a-la new bridge!!)
Back to reality

Although I agree with Darren on the "line up" issue.. the only time I am in line is when I go with most of my girlfriends.. for some reason they take 5 hours to get ready... I usually am in before the line... I hate dance music too.. Rock and Country are my thing...
The Palladium... I used to go there... what is it called now?? I like Charlies.. haven't been there for about 2 years tho....
But my cozy home town bars are great... The Woody, MTT, even the Rock is good...
Next Tuesday I am supposed to go into messy wrestling for Hal... I don't know if I wanna go yet... I would like to kick some gals Go Jets Go in wrestling.. but I have to wear a bikini... so I am thinkin... should be good tho.. as if she is gonna beat me... whatever!!!!! LOL
