Good food, good beer, and good coffee—The Good Will

Winnipeg's known for its thriving hospitality business. Everywhere you look, new restaurants and new lounges are popping up in our multicultural city.

There’s nothing I hate more than going out with my friends, and then stopping at McDonald’s on the way home for a double big mac and large fries.

That’s a disgusting lie.

I love everything about going out with my friends, and then visiting Ronnie (McDonald's) at the end of the night.

But, this is clearly not a healthy habit to adopt. Lately, I’ve been trying to eat healthier, so McDonald’s doesn't quite fit in my meal plan.

So how do I solve the issue of eating better when going out dancing with my friends? And no, dancing doesn’t eliminate future McDonald’s calories….

There are several establishments introducing eateries. Not only do you get to go out and enjoy the entertainment and atmosphere, but also you get to sit down and order a hearty meal (healthy or non-healthy) of your choice.

Last week, I checked out a new place called The Good Will.

Located at 625 Portage Avenue, The Good Will is a "social club" that provides: music, coffee, pizza & beer. What else do you need to exist? NOTHING.

I think this is a pretty cool concept, considering these words are like antonyms, ie. coffee and beer. 

When I arrived, I noticed first and foremost the eatery. The business "A Little Slice of Heaven" provides an array of menu options, from pizza to nachos. Beside the eatery was a really cool rustic looking table that reminded me of a glorified cafeteria setting. 

An abundance of people were sitting at the benched tables, stuffing their faces, just as I would. On the other side of the wall, a large room housed the live bands, and an "L" shaped bar. 

In another tiny corner, a sitting area with board games and old throwback items were encouraged to bring out and use/play with. 

A pretty cool concept if you ask me. All these different activities: eating, board games, dancing, eating, drinking coffee, taking shots, drinking beer, stuffed all in one room.

Please don't ever make me leave.

So what did I have? Heres a few things from the menu;

-Kettle—Cooked chips with dip $4

-BBQ Chicken Pizza—Chicken breast lathered in tangy BBQ sauce with green peppers, red onions and mozzarella

ONE PIE
M – $18
L – $24

XL – $28

-Nachos—Tomatoes, onions, green peppers, jalapeños, black olives, cheddar and mozzarella $10

Another thing worth mentioning is Winnipeg's Bogosian's own creation, "#44 BOGO’S BUFFALO CHICKEN".

Pretty neat.
