Beer, like soap, comes in a bar and livens up any shower. Wash your mouth out with today's Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of pub fare at Great Bear Pub in Burnaby.

At Great Bear Pub, a menu of pub fare peppered with curries, tzatziki, and Asian influences mingles with a lively atmosphere of live entertainment and high-definition TVs. For mealtime, the Smoky Mountain burger ($12.50) heaps a succulent beef patty with caramelized onions, apple-smoked bacon, and a toothpick for fighting off covetous dining companions. Tender chicken simmers in a lemongrass-infused coconut sauce in the Koh Samui green-curry chicken ($11.95), and fresh halibut and wild salmon tacos ($9.95) burst with notes from a lime-cilantro marinade.

Amid the flickering glow of 10 flat-screen high-definition TVs, live music and karaoke enliven the pub six nights a week, and weekly poker tournaments enable patrons to build houses of cards to protect meal leftovers. Additionally, Great Bear Pub strives to serve as a beacon of sustainability, touting biodegradable containers, a recycling program, and Ocean Wise certification.
