Help! Attending first game!

One last thing, if you're going to visit the King's Head Pub, you must pair it with a visit to the poutinerie across the street. MUST. Nothing like capping off a few late-night pints with some poutine!

I was just gonna mention Smoke's! I always grab a dish whenever I'm downtown.

For venues close to the game:

Could try the Metropolitan (across from the arena on Donald) for pre-game bites and drinks? It's a really interesting venue, an old, beautiful theatre converted into a restaurant/event lounge. You can watch the pre-game on the giant screen, along with many other fans. It's clean and has a more 'formal' look inside.

For a kind of 'sexy lounge' I like Rudy's Eat and Drink on Graham. I like their house-made potato chips! Also, not a bad charcuterie platter.

If you're looking for a boisterous, young crowd and are not adverse to franchise bar/restaurants, there's Tavern United right across the arena on Hargrave, Moxies inside the MTS center, Boston Pizza, and the Shark Club. Shark Club has a mini-casino inside with tables and dealers.

The exchange district is a great place to eat (a short cab ride away or a longer walk). For two slightly more upscale restaurants, try Deer + Almond, or Peasant Cookery. Can't say I've had a bad meal at either of these places.

Also I love Hermanos for South-American food:

Carnaval Brazilian BBQ for all-you-can-eat-meat:

(it's a good idea to make reservations for the above four places)

For an English-style pub in the exchange, try the King's Head. One of our most notable and popular pubs.

My favorite place for pub food though right now is the Brogue Gastropub on Pembina. It's about a 15 minute drive away though. Ridiculous prime rib, burgers, and appetizers. http://broguegastropub.ca/ Too bad it's sort of out of the way.

If your husband is into beers, there's 150 beers to try at Luxalune Gastropub on Osborne (maybe 10 minutes away by cab). Not great food though, IMHO.

Have fun! Just ignore the hecklers, they're idiots.

Has the Round Table been recently renovated, or is the bar portion a seperate business within the Round Table building?

The bar area of the Round Table is the Brogue Gastropub that was mentioned earlier. I think it's still part of the Round Table - same kitchen, different menu?

They did a beautiful job on the renos at the Met, but the food leaves a lot to be desired--my pulled pork sandwich was soaked right through the bun with pork juices. Can't beat $3.50 pints, however.

Indeed, same kitchen, different menu. Try the Brogue bacon appetizer. Challenge your friends to eat the ghost pepper wings. Love the skillet (basically a skillet full of lamb, sausage, chicken and gravy) and the burger with the huge cheese crisp in it.

Sad thing is our guest only have like one day, which means like....4 meals? I would guess they've been in town since the morning and are out and about already. So many great places to eat, so little time!

Wouldn't mind hearing how their visit went. UNDJetsfan let us know how your trip was!

Oh cool then, not my area of town so don't usually go. The one time I did, we were on a party bus that broke down at the coop across from it years ago. Someone saw the Round Table across the street and I remember loving the bar side alot. I'll have to make my way down there again, I love unique wings.

Bad news....after planning this trip since October, I spent the morning in the ER sick and can't go to the game. Selling tickets on exchange ($70) but would sell for less than face value. Section 325, Row 8, Seats 11-12. PM me if interested.

That's terrible. Hope everything turns out OK.

That's heartbreaking. Hope you can make it to another game next year!

The round table has gone down hill in the years.... Food not the greatest.
