Located in the basement of the Unicorn, this place was great for gathering with friends. Came here for lunch for our friends going away party and there was a long bar table to fit 8 of us. The fried pepperoni was tasty and had a bit of a kick to us at the end. I got the teriyaki beef salad and it was amazing! Perfect amount of dressing and the beef was super juicy and not overcooked. Service was attentive and food came out quick. Would come back to try other items on the menu

Came here three times all on wing nights and have only tried their wings. I came with a group of around 10 and was able to try 75% of their wing flavours via sharing. No complaints in regards to any of the flavours, some are really unique such as maple chipotle and dill. A beverage needs to be ordered for wings.

There was plenty of meat on the chicken wings compared to anywhere else I've been to. More than enough sauce or seasoning. So you're never left with a dry flavorless wing. I really enjoy the thick breading on them. This is probably my favorite place to have wings as they are fairly cheap in price with a wide choice of flavours.

I'm not sure if it's because I was with a large group or it's super busy due to it being wing night but the service is pretty much non existent. Our table always had to hail a waitress from beginning to end. Lots of forgetful orders but when an order of wings was punched in wrong, they were just given to us.

I'm pretty satisfied with the quality of wings for such a moderate price that the poor service doesn't bother me too much. Not sure if I would come here for their regular menu though.

Awesome little place downstairs off Stephen ave. went there on wing night was bit of a wait for a table. Very unique flavours of wings. Yummy but had a weird oily after taste. Service was decent.

Came here for wings night on Thursday after work. 

Who can resist 19 cent wings! We went for ten honey garlic, ten maple chipotle, ten hot wings and ten "old bay" flavoured. 

The wings were pretty decent; breadcrumbed wings with lots of flavour. They were quite tender, but if you've been to somewhere like BP, they didn't really compare in size. 

The honey garlic was pretty good, but nothing unusual; the maple chipotle was slightly more unusual but still pretty tasty. The hot wings were actually really tasty, especially with the side of ranch dressing. Ranch dressing costs extra fyi.

Old bay was an acquired taste. It tasted like salt and pepper wings, but with sightly more flavour. Almost like chicken seasoning. We quite enjoyed them

Overall it was a good place to come for wings, and I think we'd be happy to come here again. Service was pretty good and it was a lively atmosphere. One of the few places we could find that was doing wing night on a thursday.

I came here for the Alpine. I am a Maritimer living in Calgary so I dragged my gf here after I found out they serve Alpine beer which is brewed in my home town of Saint John NB. Just to let people who go there know maritime bars do not have buoys and fishing nets in there pubs lol. They have a good selection of beer and the food is good had the maritime mussels, great broth, and the donair poutine. The mussels where well cooked and broth was amazing the donair meat on the poutine was not great but fries where good and gravy was decent but the Alpine was delicious. Had a great time and will definitely come back again.

PS If the owners read this want a real east coast dish put fried boloney aka Newfie steak

Not a bad spot for east coast appies!. Went last night with my husband for a bite and a beer before the hockey game. Tried the fried pepperoni, mussels and garlic fingers. All of it was well done and easily the best donair/sweet sauce in the city!
Had 10 cent wings last time i went with a friend and they were pretty good too!

Could use improvements.. This Company needs improvements. I went last week for Open mic. Wanted to get on stage and play a cover song with group of people already playing. Was a little upset that these guys would be closed off from letting me join in. These guys were stage hogs and seemed to only care about their own music. I think the manager needs to get involved and have a time limit for each person whom wants to play. I think I will just stick with ship and Anchor.

I liked the wings though.

Every East Coast!. I thought it was delicious - small menu options, and I think they need to host a happy hour, it's hard to get people there for $6-$7 domestic pints. But the service was great, and friendly. Also the decor was awesome for a underground restaurant. With white walls, and bright lights I didn't feel like I was in a dingy basement. It was good. Only thing I would suggest is more of a menu for the downtown lunch crowd, it's hard to go with a group of people to a limited menu restaurant. But over all I'd recommend it.
