Bleachers - Winnipeg

This place is the definition of a diamond in the rough, the place is definitely not a place for everyone.  The staff is great, the food is amazing, prices are fantastic.  The Vendome has become my go to lunch spot.  I suggest you give it a try.  You can also get take out!

Enjoy going for the poutines here.Have been going for over 5 years now and the prices only went up once.Servers are always nice and the helpings are huge can never finish.The vegas burger is huuge have always eaten it with a knife and fork.Lunch time is always full, so arrive early or late.

Great value, and decent food. As a downtown office worker, I am always on the look out for a filling meal that includes a drink for under $10. All prices on the menu include taxes, which means you can get a sandwich with fries and drink for around $10 no problem. I have had other complain that the fries seems like McCain from frozen, which they may be, however they are done nice and crisp and the rest of the food exceeds my expectations for a hot $10 meal down town.<br/ <br/ I usually go here during the week for lunch. I have heard after work the place and area can get a little rough. but during the day on a week day this is a great greasy spoon restaurant.

Deserves the benefit of the doubt. I admit the first time I walked into Bleachers Sports Bar I was pretty uncertain about it. You don't get a 2nd chance to make a 1st impression, however, throw caution to the wind and just march bravely to the back room where the ceiling has a football field on one side and a hockey rink on the other complete with players and zamboni! Some sports memorabilia hangs on the walls and the flat screen TVs are tuned to either sports or sports news. <br/ <br/ It looks a bit dated, but it has been renovated since my first visit. It's not fancy, but the menu is quite large for a pub, the food is mostly homemade Mum Pop diner stuff, and very good, and the prices are reasonable (although now that it's gotten so popular with the lunch crowd, they have raised the prices from the first time I ate there . Word has gotten out about Bleachers among the downtown suits lunch crowd and it's almost necessary to make a reservation for lunch now.<br/ <br/ Daphne is a true gem and despite being the only one serving the always very full pub, the service is fantastic. The turkey in the club sandwich and hot turkey sandwich is real turkey, the fries are crinkle fries (my fave! , the plate of onion rings is heaped none of that 10 onion rings for $7 nonsense at Bleachers! Try the borscht, it's amazing, served with a generous portion of sour cream and fresh dill. The Greek salad has the most feta on it that I've ever seen on a Greek salad. My only complaint is that the poutine is made with shredded mozza and their draft beer is gross.

Lunch time bites. Went to Bleachers this week. Do go early (7 8 tables in Rest side) or you sit in the Bar.. which is fine , thankfully 'no smoking ' exists.Service was great. Fries and gravy were almost what I desired, krinkle style, with a deep dark gravy, not salty, though they could cooked them for about 3 minutes more.I found the 'somewhat thinned meat ' cheeseburger was very very bland. It had practically zero taste, as in no spice, which is too bad, as it looked absolutely delicious, though topped with, what turned out to be a 'dry ' chili. Hopefully, when I do return, they will have tweaked these things in their meat recipes... or that will be the last time I order their burger... but will definitely go back for fries and gravy... maybe add a portion of creamy coleslaw to the plate.
