We went to this Gastown pub/restaurant/tavern(?) for the first time on a Saturday night for a few drinks and were pleasantly surprised to find out there was a 50s rockabilly music themed night. There were a couple of excellent DJs (Flat-top & Reece)spinning. We enjoyed the music a lot, and the pub has a nice rustic feel to it. We didn't eat but they had good microbrew beer on tap and some interesting whisky cocktails. Service was lacklustre; the bartender spent too much time chatting with people he knew and often ignored people standing by the bar who wanted another drink. Plus, there was a bad smell coming from the back of the joint (garbage?), which was a bit of a turnoff. However, we will be back if the rockabilly night becomes a regular event.

A friend and I popped into The Greedy Pig in Gastown a few nights ago to see what it was like. It was not very busy and we were quickly seated and placing drink orders. I love their whiskey-based drink menu which makes for some satisfying spiciness in their cocktails. Cocktail size was also pretty big which is nice. They were just making a new batch of stew so I tried a buffalo mozza-eggplant panino and my friend tried their pulled pork sandwich. They were on the smaller side but the flavours were outstanding. I left the restaurant feeling satisfied and eager to return and show more friends this neat little spot.

Some friends and I stumbled upon this little place and we were blown away by the cool laid back atmosphere and even more impressed by the quality and general kick ass-ness of their limited yet delicious menu. There were four of us and we each had one of their sandwiches which were so freakishly good that the word "sandwich" doesn't do them justice. We also shared a meat and cheese plate that was also pretty damn tasty. We washed it all down with a selection of interesting house specialty cocktails. Cant remember what they were called but they were good and boozy!

It was an oddly eclectic group of people dining and imbibing at the Greedy Pig and the folks who run the place were extremely outgoing and seemed to make everyone feel welcome.

I don't have much negative to say, the music was a little schizophrenic but other then that it was a good time had by all.

Cheers
