Pubs
Woody's Pub
Just off hwy 97n pollard rd intersection. woody's has a good food menu, and a good drink selection. it's a pub that allows smoking, but you hardly notice it outside of the smoking area, as it's really well vented. there is also a patio you can sit on when the weather is nice :) they have drink specials, and food specials every day - and it's a really good deal, you get a lot for how much you pay. try the sunday's steak sandwhich special - it comes with fries, caesar salad, and a steak onto of garlic bread - it's really good. the staff their is really friendly, and seem to always come to offer you more drinks right when your glass is empty. they also have fun things like karaoke nights, live bands that play, sports events and other events that take place throughout the month.
Turtle Bay Marina Pub
Woodsdale rd follow hwy 97n towards vernon. turtle bay is right beside wood lake - their patio actually looks over it. it is a family restaurant now, but they are still technically a pub. they have really good food, and good drink specials, and their staff is friendly as well. you cannot smoke inside the building, but you can smoke outside - not sure if you can smoke on the patio or not. their wing special, which is on wednesday, is always busy as the wings are really good. if you like hot wings, go here and order their hottest - they will burn your mouth! also, while you're there, try their turtle trax - which are criss-cross fries topped with nacho toppings - so good.
