Thirsty Moose Pub - Prince George

This place is great. Their menu is amazing, offering student priced meals that are still delicious. Super good yam fries. Fun drink specials. Karaoke is always a treat. Great hang out for a young crowd.

I've been to this pub several times. The food is quite good, especially for a pub. The service is good, and is much better than it was even a year ago. The only downside is that it caters to the university crowd so it tends to follow the hours that the university is open.

Nestled away up on the University Hill of PG is The Thirsty Moose. Writing not only as a student but also a resident of PG, the Thirsty Moose is definately one of the best! The meals are great with affordable prices and to my delight there is even a $5 menu since last semester on great tasting foods that are of course smaller than the entrees yet delicious and filling. A fine list of beverages is offered and a strong staff delivers at this welcoming place. For a relaxing and enjoyable time, head for the Moose; atop the University hill. Again, it is one of the best pubs in town! My favourite part is the atmosphere and quick delivery of meals. Parking is the only upgrade pending at The Moose.

I'm feeling like the guy that attends a masquerade ball dressed as an oversized chicken. Believing myself an outsider is not the fault of a restaurant; it’s completely self-inflicted. It’s not helped being unexpectedly dropped into a group of people I don’t know. The location in question is the Thirsty Moose Pub located in UNBC. A review of the Thirsty Moose is as pointless as many of the degrees one could acquire at this University (oh, them fightin' words.) For those unaware, let me enlighten you on the situation. UNBC has atrocious parking and is so far out of town, no one would ever frequent it unless they were just exiting class. It doesn’t help that UNBC is a maze and the pub is located at the far end. So no would enter the Thirsty Moose unless they were already here...thus the pointless nature of this review. Yes, the Thirsty Mouse is not a location you prefer over competition, because unless you want cafeteria food or Tim Hortons, this is your only option over driving ten minutes back into town. So you pray you have enough in your meter and you sit with a dozen of your friends, drinking and ordering cheap food. And was it cheap. A plate of pita and tzatziki for $3.50? A $5 burger? What gives? Thirsty Moose has a market cornered, so why be so reasonable? They are half the price of other pubs, with sizable portions and decent quality. I’m not saying they should increase their prices. I believe it the result of a wise economical strategy. Like the Kodiaks (sounds weird saying it that way,) they're paying little to no rent. And given many of the people here are full-time students lacking full-time jobs, the pub understood the limited amount of disposable income and have adjusted their prices accordingly. This makes the Thirsty Moose one of the best values for a meal at lunchtime. No one reading this will care or follow my advice. People attending UNBC don't have an option and don’t require my reassurance that they’re eating at a decent place, and anyone not attending the University won’t drive up a hill for five minutes, pay a fifty cents for parking, walk across two football fields in -12 weather and navigate a University just to save four dollars on a burger, or in my case, five on a taco pizza. Unlike Kodiaks, I'm fully aware I'm sitting in a University. The decor is utterly basic, taken from the first five pages of the pub playbook. At least the service is passable. The one side effect to reviewing pubs, explained numerous times, is the utter triviality of the words I type. Like now. No one will read my review and change their mind about the Thirsty Moose. It’s not like I’ll ever be back. until some strange unforeseen future occurs when I’m actually attending classes here. But at least the students can rest easy. They're not being screwed by high prices or substandard food. They don’t need to feel bad about settling for the Thirsty Moose, because they're not loosing anything not driving into town to Boston Pizza. In fact The Thirsty Moose may be UNBC’s greatest secret, pissing off the students reading this. How dare I expose it to the public? Now all sorts of unthoughtful, uneducated patrons will flood their doors. Don’t worry, it’s not like anyone reads these reviews anyway.Food: 3/5Service: 4/5Presentation: 2.5/5Value: 5/5Recommendation: 3.6/5
