SOKS for September

**scoutniagara** · 25th August 07, 07:48 PM

I just returned from these two pubs.

The Kilt and Clover has entres for about $9.00 and pretty bar maids who wear kilted-skirts.

BUT... it's a small corner pub that would be crowded with perhaps 40 people (It consists of two sides of a square at the corner). There's seating outside, but if it was raining, or cold, it'd be hard to jam everyone inside. At 9:00 Port Dalhousie was relatively quiet. There are four or five other pubs very close by and we could easily go bar hopping with out wearing out our Ghillies. The bar maids were surprised that this Saturday was so quiet, and next week, it may be the same as it'll be moving in weekend for colleges and universities.

I think my vote goes to the London Arms, if you want a pub styled similarly to the pubs we've been frequenting for our SOKS nights so far. The food averages about $12.00, bottled beer $4.50 and full pint for $5.50. There'd be Karaoke every Saturday night, but there's more room for us, and a patio outside, if the night's temperature is comfortable. There is a quieter side partly out of sight of the Karaoke, but not out of ear-shot. ;) The karaoke side was full and the other side about half full. The London Arms is one of the closer off-campus pubs for Brock University and Niagara College (Glendale Campus).

The London Arms is located down at the back of the Pen Center, St. Catharines, Ontario. Take the 406 Port Colborne exit off the QEW, exit the 406 at Glendale, turn right, turn right across from the McDonalds into the parking area, and drive down the hill just before the Cinemas. The back entrance is a door beside the Cinemas, or from inside the Mall entrance.

My vote therefore, is for:

Saturday, September 1 @ 8:00 p.m. at the London Arms, Pen Center, St. Catharines, ON

I guess I'll 3rd it then. London Arms but don't expect me to sing! I can myself enough of a fool just sitting at the table.

Ah, come-on! It'd be fun for all of the kilted lads to get up and sing something together. ;P

Sorry gents, but the pig roast at my brother's place was scheduled before the Kilt Night...
If things get slow, we will see you at the Arms. (We will have to have another there later... not too far from home for me!)

Well, September 1 is early in the month. We may need another Kilt Night before the 1 of October.

We'll miss you...enjoy the pig roast/bbq.

London Arms it is then.
Pete, if you're coming, could you bring the Marton Mills P/V swatches? I want to make sure the colours will be right for that thing we discussed at Fergus.
