The menu posts the percentage of each beer left on tap from a great variety of brews.

Only $5 per pound? How could we resist  such an offer? Justine ordered salt and pepper wings as a lady always does not want to get too messy over too saucy. \ud83d\ude42 I went for the exotic choice of tamari ginger wings. Wow, they were both really good!  I just realized it had been a while since I enjoyed good pub chicken wings. Salt and pepper wings were fried and seasoned perfectly, and they didn&#8217;t taste dry at all. Tamari ginger wings won me over with the tons of great flavours: sweet and savory and spicy. And I had sauce all over my fingers but I just didn&#8217;t care and kept eating. I kind of wish they could have offered finger bowl or wet tissue, but I probably shouldn&#8217;t be complaining because the wings were so delicious.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_2303.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_2303.jpg\" alt=\"Salt and Pepper Wings @ St Augustine\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Salt and Pepper Wings @ St Augustine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 2048px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_2304.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/IMG_2304.jpg\" alt=\"Tamari Ginger Wings @ St Augustine\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tamari Ginger Wings @ St Augustine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Official website:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.staugustinesvancouver.com\/\" title=\"http:\/\/www.staugustinesvancouver.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.staugustinesvancouver.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Map and other reviews:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/r\/14\/181391\/restaurant\/Commercial-Drive-Grandview\/St-Augustines-Vancouver\"><img alt=\"St. Augustine&#x27;s on Urbanspoon\" src=\"http:\/\/www.urbanspoon.com\/b\/link\/181391\/biglink.gif\" style=\"border:none;width:200px;height:146px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justine and I decided to come here for a beer before our VIFF film thing at Rio Theatre.
