Day 24: Elephant & Castle

The All-City Project crew is on fire after closing down the Show Down the night before. Day 24 of debauchery brings us to Elephant & Castle in the Financial District of the city. E&C is an English-style pub whose name was derived from Royal scandal and gossip dating back to the 14th century when Charles I was betrothed to a Spanish princess from Castille. The name originates from the first Elephant & Castle in London where it still operates to this day.

"Today, E&C has grown to over 20 restaurants across the United States and Canada from Toronto, Boston, and Chicago to Vancouver, San Diego, and San Francisco. This record of 30 years of stability and success is due to E&C's continued commitment to be the standard of what North American consumers demand of a British pub and restaurant concept - Bang On Food, Bang On Drinks, and Bang On Service!"

As visitors and residents were piling into the city for "Pride" weekend, everyone wanted a big bang for the buck! E&C did not disappoint! The food is great here, may I recommend their famous fish n' chips or deliciously well-made Shepard's pie. Either way if you're around the way come into this beautifully decorated English pub and have a cold beer or a cocktail and enjoy some great pub grub. You can catch sports games that are televised on one of the many flat HD T.V.'s or play some pool in the back room. I had numerous shots of Jameson whiskey, several pints of Boddington's ale, and at least 1 shot, that I remember of Jagermeister. The monster in me comes out when I drink Jager, good thing he didn't come out! phew!

The E&C staff was great and they took care of the All-City crew! Big thank yous to the Manager, Ian aka Munter, and our shot-slingers Daniel and Tara! You guys rock hard! Sorry if we kept you guys passed your bedtimes! Lol! The ACP crew closed-out yet another pub! Thanks to everybody who came out, it was indeed another grand time in the SFC!

2010: Day 20: Hockey Haven **Father's Day**

John (owner): Whada have? (In an Irish Accent)


Ryan : I’ll have Guinness and a shot of Jamison

John: I noticed you have been coming in a lot in the past two weeks. What’s you name lad?

Ryan : Names Ryan sir.

John: Ryan huh. Can I ask you a question?

Rally: Sure

John: You drink Guinness… You drink Jamison… (John scratches his head) How the hell did you get such a fine Irish name?

Ryan : I’m your cousin! (No. I'm not Irish)

John starts to laugh and gives me a drink marker, on the house.

I love that story. That was sometime in 1997.

This isn’t a new bar for me. I grew up around the corner and when I turned 21, I knew this was going to be one of the bars that would become my drinking hole. Every time I walk in the Hockey, I feel very much at home with all the neighborhood locals. I am very proud to say that I am a Richmond District Avenue Local. There’s no place like home! So if you come in here, order a beer and a shot. Keep it simple for the behind the bar.

Sorry to keep this one short. I got other stuff that I’m working on.

(30 Days of Debauchery Hottie Search Poll will go up by the end of today.)

Thanks to Ryan the Bartender. To Jeff, Rick, and York: Hope to play pool with you guys again!

Thanks to Jenny, J-Nine, Lisa and Brandon for coming out. To my brothers of this Debauchery: Stretch, Barack Jr., sCo-D, and SiFu… 9 days left! Mr. Ian, get ready to shine!

To all Father’s here and to all the ones that are here in sprit… Happy Father’s Day!

This one is for you GC….
