Hoegaarden White Ale (spiced with coriander and Curacao orange peel); Leffe Blonde Ale (packs a 6.6% alcohol content, also boasts a 750-year history); Stella Artois lager (Marlon Brando aficionados will want to order this one loudly using their favourite Streetcar Named Desire accents). Other countries are also well represented at the bar: England (Boddington’s ale); Ireland (Guinness, Kilkenny Cream Ale); Canada (Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale — apparently those who like it, like it a fot); Sleeman Honev Brown Lager; Shaftebury Cream Ale; Okanagan Spring Extra Special Pale Ale).

Decent size servings. Sampled Seared Ahi Tuna Burger came with side of mixed greens tossed in balsamic vinaigrette.
