I ate at the Morrissey Pub tonight for the third time. Drawing me there was the availability of Whistler Brewery Chestnut Ale (seasonal!!! and not available in BCL). If you are a fan of Granville Island Winter Ale, this is like it's tougher big brother, it's delicious! There is about a month left on their keg, so head there soon before they run out!
Anyways, to the food. My first visit there with Bry-man we splurged and pigged out on the Gruyere cheese fondue with cheesy bread. It was phenomenal! Really, truly awesome. So awesome that only it, and the chestnut ale can be recalled about that meal, despite having had mains afterward.
Now tonight I tried out their Hippie chick burger (see their menu and description here). It was AWESOME. Priced at only $11.00 I decided to upgrade to the 1/2 fries & 1/2 salad option. For those of you going to visit on my recommendation, please don't bother with their salad. It's just a small piling of lettuce. There is not a single bit of vegetable on there, and was a serious disappointment, even for a side salad. The fries were good though I would go with this option.
The big bonus was when the check came. They didn't point it out but my burger was only $6.00... because it was Wednesday?... I think?.... but I was quite pleased by the surprise. Overall, the ambience is very cool and eclectic, and at night it's candle & lantern lit adding a bit of romantic sway. The menu is brief but satisfying and quite delicious.... but don't bother with the side salad. Enjoy :)
