The Bent Mast (512 Simcoe St. / 383-6000) is a pub/restaurant that gives Victoria an authentic sailing town feel. Located in an old Victorian house, it often features live Irish, bluegrass, and folk music and is a great place to hang out and play a board game. Wash some chips down with ale, matey, and don’t be surprised if the place is filled with whalers, sailors, and pirates.
