"You will be hard-pressed to find a more community-minded watering hole in Canada than the Ship. Beyond the warm, inviting vibe, the pub raises tens of thousands of dollars a year for a variety of local charities. On any given day, you’ll find people from all walks of life enjoying a pint and a casual bite to eat with their pals. Toss in some live music throughout the week and punk rock bingo on Tuesday nights, and you’d be even harder pressed to find a reason to leave. [$-$$]" - Dan Clapson
