Question Anyone know of this bar?

18 Upvotes

Hi all,

A long time ago, around 30 years, I was in Canada in the Barrie area visiting my cousin. One night we went to a place that I only know as the ‘pizza pub’. I have little recollection other than I don’t think it was in an urban area and it sold pizza and beer. It also allowed me to run up a tab which, back then for a 20 something year old English guy, was rather foolish.

I have been back to Canada many times but I have never been back to this bar and would love to know if it is still there for me to do a return visit.

Anyone have an idea?
