In centuries past, English travellers searching for a night's rest would have to compete for crowded tavern rooms in daring displays of wit, falconry, and pinball prowess. Find room at non-skill-based tables with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of pub fare and pours at Titans Twisted Tavern in Pineridge.

Titans Twisted Tavern satisfies sports fans, globally minded foodies, and alcohol aficionados with 13 big-screen HDTVs, televising preferred athletic events upon request. The tavern menu broadsides mouths with spiced ammunition such as Gyoza dumplings with seaweed salad and plum sauce ($8.99). Belaying fingers search for fame atop the peaks of nachos grande, smothered in cheese, tomato, olives, peppers, and jalapeños ($12.99), or find secure footholds on an Alberta philly cheesesteak sautéed with mushrooms, caramelized onions, and Sailor Jerry's barbecue sauce ($10.99). Naan schooners skillfully navigate the madras chicken curry's coconut-tomato sauce and lemon-coriander rice ($11.99). Saturdays see Titans Twisted Tavern's weekly undertakings of live music, UFC events, and kabuki renditions of The Canterbury Tales, but patrons also find regular entertainment around two pool tables and arcade games.
