The Feathers, The Beaches

How to best describe the Feathers but to say it's an institution. A true Beaches community center. The locals here fall into two age groups: over 35 and under 10, with practically no one in-between. We had one of the oddest experiences as 20-somethings over a liquid lunch here.

Very unfortunately, the Guinness here was just average. We had to break a cardinal rule and only down one pint. (Of course, the second pint rule is only a verification for those truly amazing pints, but we digress.) An average 6. Service was a decent 3, not too bad, but we kinda felt out of place and as such perhaps the service reflected that. Cannot comment further. Atmosphere was also a solid 3, true pub fare, but maybe a slight update is in order. Granted, this place has been around since 1981. Quick word of advice: avoid the poutine.

One thing must be said though, and this place earns it's bonus points for sheer selection of Single Malts alone:


Ain't that a beaut?


Score:

Guinness (/10): 6
Atmosphere (/5): 3
Service (/5): 3

Base Score: 12


Bonus:
Kilkenny (/4): 2 - better than the Guinness, but not best
Single Malts (/2): 1 - didn't try any this time, definitely in order for a second visit

Bonus Score: 3

 

Final Score: 12/20 + 3 Bonus
