OT: Darcy's Pub in Victoria is now a Flames bar

Jesus, buddy.

I'm desperate, in town for work and had to listen to the last game on the radio in my hotel room

Looks like the Tallyho across from Mayfair Mall will be playing the game.

Not sure how accurate this thread is anymore anyways. I was at Darcy's last week and it was chock full of Canucks fans.

Yeah I had heard conflicting information so thought I'd do a google search and sure enough ended up on hfboards anyways haha.

Cheers everyone, hopefully see you guys in the playoffs!

Yeah well their beers are like $7+ anyway so **** em.

I predict a riot....

Hehehehehe...

Podium, which was the defacto Canucks bar in downtown Victoria, has closed. Darcy's sprung up as a Flames bar as a way to counter-program the actual sports bar. Now I imagine Shark Club or Tally Ho (haven't been there yet) would be the best options in town.

Hehehehehe...

Lol that's hilarious.

Hope they don't rely too much on playoff revenue

A Flames bar? In Victoria you say?

Pity.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

By that logic, everybody east of the Port Mann should be a Flames fan.

Why the Flames?

Ugh, it's the reason I never go to Darcy's, all the Albert-bros go there.

But yeah there's no defacto Canucks bar in Victoria. Garricks is Sens, Smiths is Habs, Darcy's is Flames, no one is Oilers (no one wants to bankrupt their business).

Used to live in Victoria, was always disappointed in the Canucks support bar scene in comparison to smaller towns on the Island.

 

[Megaterio Llamas]

Geez, I'm glad we don't have stuff like that over here on the mainland.

Or do we?

I've travelled Alberta the last year and have only seen on out of place team bar in the province, the Mad Hatter in Lethbridge... Not Canuck bars so far, Canuck fans are in numbers though.

The Pig and Duke in downtown Calgary is a Canucks bar. Owner is a Canuck fan, and they have a club you can join called the Pig & Nuck club that gets you discounts on drinks on game days. Have to answer a Canucks trivia question to get in.

They also do prize giveaways for trips to Van to see the Canucks play and so on.

I've seen Canucks bars in Mexico but Victoria has none? This is weird.
