Great events from bands to DJ's and a comedy night. Â Super reasonable pricing great burgers and craft beer selection....staff is fun and atmosphere makes you feel very comfortable. Â Doesn't matter if your super dressed up grabbing a few drinks pre gaming or your dressed down casual looking to stay local and make a night of it at the OCI...either way it should be one of your stops if your in the area.....
Review Source:For a dive bar, the food is not bad, but I think we went on a day when the manager or person in charge was on vacation.
I went there with a couple friends for lunch in the middle of the week to grab a burger. Â After my friends and I ordered our food, some guy comes out with, like, a three gallon jug of smelly pesticides (the kind that you can almost taste in your mouth at the slightest spray) and he just starts spraying all the corners of the room we are sitting in and all around us.
Several of us had to scream "Excuse me! Can you not spray pesticides all over like that while we are eating?" more than once before the guy realized we were talking to him!
Which means they aren't following safety protocol for pesticide application. Â Every restaurant I've worked in, it had to be done after hours, overnight, after the staff had wrapped everything up (utensils, etc.) in plastic, so you weren't eating off plates with a slight coating of poison on them the next day.
It's too bad, because the food wasn't all that bad, and the new paint job looked nice. Â They need to reprimand the guy with the pesticides. Â That's not safe.
P.S. As for the "has TV" question below, the answer is yes, and all the channels are turned to sports...ANY sports, so if you don't want to watch deer hunters killing Bambi while you eat your lunch, make sure you aren't facing a TV set.
Old Canal is back and looks better and glad it didnt close for good. They still kept one shuffleboard so that was cool. Ill hit this place usually on my way somewhere else but went last Saturday and the place was packed. Def get a mix of young and old and the bar is long and easy to score a drink. Everyone loves to check out the death seat at the end of the bar so pay your respects. Â Another local spot to add to the mix
Review Source:I was amazed and delighted by high end, fresh food in a cool vintage looking pub - they have a separate dining room, a game room with shuffleboard! and a cool bar with a famous legendary "death seat" where 3 bar patrons died in the sixties (at different times)...It's funny.
But the food was really good - and I write about food for a newspaper. The burger was made from very high quality fresh beef (not frozen) and the owner whipped up a baked ziti with roasted garlic, sausage, prosciutto and no ricotta which was wonderful.
Going to check out the live music this weekend - I'm hooked!

Went there with my son seeking out the perfect Hamburger well we definitely found it at The Old Canal Inn which is a great neighborhood bar/restaurant a really cool place to hang out. The burger was juicy and extremely flavorful with a nice portion of fries and cole slaw and very reasonably priced our waitress was very friendly and very attentive, this is one of our new favorite restaurants we will be back...The red sign outside is very cool!
Review Source:I love this place, in part because I can walk there and crawl home if needed LOL. Â Seriously it is a fun, casual place with good, basic food (burgers, chili and homemade fries are standouts) friendly service, good jukebox, shuffleboard table, lots of big screens to watch your game of choice. Â Bands are coming soon.
