Bar & Grill in Yorkton

“It was a cold and blustery day on 2nd Ave North, in downtownn Yorkton, late in the winter that wouldn’t end, not long before the start of a Blue Jays afternoon tilt, and I happened to stop in front of the Yorkton Hotel. There was, inside, the signage promised, a sushi restaurant called Arigato, and, most importantly, a bar. Named Rayzr’s Pub. Well, any pub with a name like that needs to be investigated. And check it out I did. It had the usual pub accoutrements: a bar you could belly up to, pool table, what passes for music these days on some very impressive speakers, etc. But off to the left was an area that wouldn’t have been out of place in Studio 54, back n the day, as they say: comfy looking couches of faux (I assume) black leather, with a big screen tv providing the fireplace role. No brainer. That’s where I plonked myself down. A very personable and congenial bartender by the name of Andrew - who had the vibe of someone who has some pretty good late night stories to tell - brought me a beer and a menu for Arigato., and swiitched the channel to the Blue Jays game. The Blue Jays fell to the Mets, but hey, it’s early n the season. And I did have a plate of the best calimari I’ve ever had, Goddess truth. I love this pub. It is most definitely ‘on the hand’. I look forward to returning.“

“Had a wonderful experience, thanks Katie. Food was really good, our waitress Katie was wonderful!“
