12 Kings - Vancouver

Came here for the Garcia versus tank fight. I’ve become so accounted to sports bars charging a “cover” or minimum spend fee on any of these major events it’s so much more refreshing to come to a bar and not have to do that. And we ended up ordering more anyways.

Enjoyed the atmosphere but the food wasn't the greatest. The Tot Poutine was good, but could use more cheese curds. The Cajun Chicken Wrap had too much cheese. Couldn't taste the chicken nor the cajun. The wings were decent.

Entering the establishment, we smelled a combination of stale beer and urine. If not for being pressed for time, we likely would have gone elsewhere. The waiter attended to us immediately and was very efficient. He put our order in to the kitchen quickly and got it out to us as soon as it was up, also ensuring to keep an eye on our drinks in case we needed another. Sadly, they fell short with the wait times for the food. There were maybe 4 tables ahead of us, and each person's order came to each table separately, instead of as a group to the whole table... and with an extremely long wait. What should have been a 30-minute in and out took us 95 minutes, putting us late for our event. We actually considered leaving without eating. The burger looked good, but I wouldn't eat the club house there again. Burnt bread, but not toasted... however they managed that... and greasy texture. Fries were excellent. Likely the waiter, very synthetic to our situation... but helpless when it comes to the kitchen speed. A good clean, some kitchen help, and it would have 5 stars from me.

Was a inviting pub that seems like a lot of locals frequent. Will come back for food and drinks.

It's good but only has 1 pool table. So if you're only there to enjoy some good beers, go for it!!
