Pink Bicycle specializes in gourmet burgers, salads and sides, including vegetarian choices. We adore the poutine with rosemary gravy and crispy shallots. If you have a hankering for hamburger, look no further.

A combination of deep dive bar, carnival haunted house and an episode of Hee Haw. Take a seat at the burlap-covered stump, enjoy a cold draft and munch on free peanuts. Crazy, cheap, unforgetable. GO!
