Hidden away in Port Coquitlam, the Cat & Fiddle Pub is surprisingly large. It has a lot of TVs, pool, and a liquor store inside. What separates it from others are the wings. A good variety of flavours, they’re hot to order and up quick, and at a price to draw people. Hipsters and ethnic people are few and far between but the atmosphere is welcoming.
Pitcher of Canadian: $13.50
Wings: $0.25 each

Bastion of academic inebriation, Koerner’s may be tucked away in the Grad Student Society building but the trek is worth the heated patio, billiards and shuffleboard tables, and friendly service. And when it’s full, overflow heads upstairs to the lounge (generally closed).
Pitcher of Winchester: $11.25

This pub is hidden behind Metrotown one block south of Kingsway. The place is large enough to host banquets and has a big screen tv. Beside bottles, pitchers, and sleeves (pints) they also have “FF [firefighter] sleeves” which are larger sleeves for $0.75-$1 more. As much as I appreciate the variety, I dislike that drink sizes are standardised by the government. Also, although belonging to firefighters (I assume), it’s open to everyone. There’s free pool on Sundays.
