seventy two sports bar and restaurant opens

1972 was a pivotal year in Canada. The Canada – Soviet Summit Hockey Series took the country by storm. Hockey was reinforced as being THE Canadian sport and the world got a lesson in sportsmanship.

It’s been a few years since this historic event but now, another historic event is about to take place. On Robson Street, starting today, seventy two sports bar and restaurant is open for business.

    The only thing worse than the food was the service!

    If you’re interested in what Seventy Two Sports Bar is all about you should check it out for yourself. Everybody I’ve talked to has had a great time there, enjoyed the food and the atmoshpere. A few minutes on the web will reveal the following legitamite reviews: Andrew Morrison, Editor for Urban Diner available at urbandiner.ca, West Ender newspaper food and drink section, Eat Magazine May/June Edition can be viewed at http://www.eatmagazine-digital.com/eatmagazine/20070506/?pg=24. And of course the host of this posting would agree.

    This venue offers so much more than the competition when it comes to quality of food and service and most of all, great value. You will not be disappointed. I can’t wait for hockey season!

    This is truly a great place to go to. The food is way above what you’d expect from an average bar, and the price is really reasonable. Loved the atmosphere and even though it focuses on being a sports bar on any non sporting night it’s got a really great lounge feeling and would be a great place to meet with friends or bring a date. There aren’t enough places like this in the city, worth checking out!
