Just got back to my hotel room in Halifax. Was at a sports bar called Bubba Rays tonite watching the UFC and HNIC (no leaf game). Staff was great and ended up having a bunch of laughs with some locals there, including the bartender. Anyone coming to Halifax and want to watch a game, Bubba Rays is the place to be. Screens everywhere, looks like a vegas sports book clashed with Maple Leaf Gardens. .
So ends (maybe) STAB travel tips edition 1.
For edition 2, i take donations to make it happen.
Bubba Rays (although place is much bigger than what you see in the pic)...
