The Maple Leaf is a pub with a Canadian theme to it. With its maple wood furnishings, maple leaf flags and a traditional English and Canadian menu, you may be mistaken for thinking that you were in Canada. It boasts a multi-screen TV complex which more often than not shows coverage of sporting events from Toronto.
That's what it says on the wall out front. The Maple Leaf is apparently the only Canadian pub in London. I can't comment on that and I can't comment on their food quality either. But as for drinking, I had a good time in there.
Prices are pretty much the same as other Central London pubs. Surprisingly, I didn't see the very recommended Molson on the tap, so I went with my usual Extra Cold Guinness. A pint of Strongbow, an Amstel and one Guniess plus three shots of tequila on each round costs about 17.
The atmosphere is kindda nice and cosy. There are ice Hockey stuff on the walls which are kinnda interesting. But if it wasn't for them and a few other little things here and there, you wouldn't notice you're in a Canadian pub. There are TVs everywhere so I assuem the place will be packed when NHL season's on.
My conclusion: As a "pub," it's OK. But a couple of Hockey sticks and skates on the walls and the Canadian flag outside are not enough for the "only Canadian Pub in London," if you ask me!
