The Maitland location is a new outpost for the popular MetroWest burgermonger. And make no mistake: burgers are the forte here.

Small, grungy (in a good way), and very youthful but unfortunately without adult supervision.

Formerly Julie’s Waterfront. Julie’s gone, but the divey atmosphere lives on, thank goodness. And there’s still a great burger and cold beer to go with it.

The space that held Cricketers Arms didn’t sit empty too long after that British pub closed. It’s now called The Whiskey, and you’d be forgiven for thinking that any place with such a name is more about the drink than about the food. But based on my recent visit, that isn’t the case at all.

Oh, it’s very serious about the drink part, especially with cocktails featuring the eponymous liquid. There is an interesting craft cocktail menu with some intriguing entries.
