Mouthwatering Summary:  Fast delivery, and great chicken (and other food, but really - great chicken!)

Meal to try: Economic 2 chicken legs! And the Chef's Special Pizza!

Typically, whenever someone tells me about a place that has been around for a looooong time, I get at least a little suspicious about the hype. I mean, is the place really worthwhile, or is its longevity simply due to inertia powered by nostalgia? For New System BBQ, I'm happy to say that the reason why it's been around since 1948 is because it's good.

Mouthwatering summary: A downtown Irish pub with live music, good atmosphere, and really great food (well, okay, the free food isn't great, but hey, it's free, what do you want?) 

Meal to try:  McKibbin's Original Poutine; Bookmaker Sandwich; and if you're insane enough (I'm not), the Rim Reaper wings!

Readers of this blog (if any) will probably notice that McKibbin's Irish Pub isn't featured on my list of favorite bars (you can read it at http://mouthwateringmontreal.blogspot.ca/2013/08/favorites-pubs-and-bars-part-1-update.html ). I assure you - this omission is due to the fact that that list was only PART 1. McKibbin's Irish Pub will be topping Part 2 (currently in the works!).

Mouthwatering summary: Just $5 to play over 1000 board games for an entire night! Plus playful drinks!
Meal to try: You're really coming here to play the board games. But, I DO recommend the "Carrot Muffin" shooter and the brownie!

Ah, Pub Randolph. This is one of those crazy awesome places where, despite there being tasty food, the attraction is actually NOT the food. Oh, no, not at all. Pub Randolph is, instead, a two-story pub that is home to ONE THOUSAND BOARD GAMES. 

...

Oh, how the inner (and outer) nerd in me just glistens with glee every time I visit or even THINK about this place! I mean, just LOOK at the games they have:

Wall ONE of games.

Wall TWO of games.

Where Wall 1 and Wall 2 join.
