Canal Street Pub & Restaurant

my boyfriend and i had a gift card to canal street so we went last saturday night. i'd been there for dinner twice before and once it was ok and the other time pretty good - when it was okay, we could tell that the food had been (or at least seemed like it) frozen and just cooked upon order.  pretty good was the tuna entree but it was a little pricey for what you get.  we've gone for the free apps at happy hour too.  last saturday, the food was SO wonderful.  i had the pub crab cake with house veggies (string beans) and yam fries while he had the fish and chips. the crab cake was all crab with no filler and the string beans were DELICIOUS. i don't even like vegetables and i wanted to continue eating these despite being full because they were seasoned so well.  he enjoyed his fish and chips as well; the fish was cooked just right so it wasn't too greasy. i would have given them 5 stars but my first beer was a bit flat (maybe this is how they make it; it was just a farmhouse ale) and i wish the apps they served on friday nights had been on the menu for dinner.  i hope that canal street's business is better than it was that saturday because it's a beautiful place inside and the food has really improved.

This is one of my favorite places to drink. They have a constantly-rotating list of about twenty beers on tap (mostly seasonals, micros, imports, and things you won't find most other places), plus a large bottle list. I mostly eat the pub fare, which is good, though I did have a proper dinner once and it was tasty (even if the service was slow).

Features: Large bar, plenty of space to stand / sit, pool table, board games, TVs, happy hour, fair prices.

Highly recommended for after-work or late-night food and drink.

Ate at the pub.

Pub fries, chicken tenders and coleslaw were very yummy.

Will definitely be back!
