Yorkton Hotel- Rayzr's Pub — Restaurant 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.

She stood behind the bar most of the time and when we decided to get up and leave, she then proceeded to come over and said that she was just on her way to see if we wanted anything else.... I told her it was to late. I grew up in this city, and have been to this pub numerous times before when we've come back to visit family and friends, and never have I had such...

My husband and I both very much enjoyed our breaded chicken fingers and my salad was great too. The Italian dressing had a special zip to it. My husband always enjoys the French fries too, and I help clean up the ones he's too full to eat. My only complaint is that the Diet Pepsi from the tap never tastes good. There is no sweetness to it as there should be. They need to work on improving the flavour. I always take a sip, make a face and wish I had ordered something else to drink. It's...
