Browns Social House
i had cause to be out and about near 10th and alma, and in need of sustenance, so i stopped in at Browns Social House. i'd never heard of this chain before, and can't imagine why not. i guess i just don't get out as much as i'd like to pretend i do.
their beer selection leaves an awful lot to be desired, but the atmosphere and the food were pretty fabulous. and the bathroom was pretty darned wonderful, and you know how i like a good bathroom in my drinking establishment.
featuring only granville island, okanagan spring 1516, guinness, sleeman's honey brown and grolsch on tap, they also carry the following bottles: coors light, kokanee, sol, sapporo, guinness and strongbow. like i said, not much of a selection. they do offer sleeves of the taps for $3.95 or pitchers for $14 on sundays and mondays. the "social lager" specially brewed for them by granville island brewery tasted pretty much the same to me as regular gi lager, but at only $4.95 i felt it was most palatable option.
the food though, the food was fabulous. i had the cowgirl salad and dynamite roll combo - fabulously delicious, i'd totally go there again just for that meal. although it might take me a while to do so - kits is not my usual stomping ground.
and i liked the decor, particularly the industrial look ceiling, all the light fixtures and the embroidered leather bar stools. nice place to watch the game and people.
verdict: thumbs way down on the beer selection, thumbs way up on the atmosphere and food. i'd definitely go again, just not with a beer loving friend!
