I have stopped in to this small and un-assuming bar in the bus terminal a few times, as I have a friend who works there. All in all, it's a great place to hang out for a few drinks, watch the game or just unwind after a long day. There are always quite a few friendly "regulars" there, and by the time you leave they will be your new friends! I first expected to see more downtown "riff-raff" hanging out there, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all.
Transfers has a pretty basic menu - sandwiches, pitas, caesar salad, nothing too exciting, but everything I have tried has been exceptionally good and the prices are VERY reasonable! For example, my last visit I had a Gyro pita with fries, and it was huge and delicious and only $5.99! Definitely a good value there...it is also worth mentioning that their fries are fantastic - I do not usually eat fries (don't like them) but these were great! I hear the poutine with real cheese curds is out of this world.
If you find yourself at or near the bus terminal with some time to kill, I would recommend stopping in for a drink or three and some food. The ladies that work there are all very nice (I realise I am a little biased here as one of them is a good friend, but it's true) and the atmosphere is fun and laid-back.
The only drawback is that the only (free) parking is on the street...sometimes there aren't any spots, and even the parking lot you have to pay for is sometimes full as well. Not a problem if you're taking the bus I suppose.
I stopped in as I was waiting for my Greyhound to arrive. I sat and waited for 10 minutes while the waitress talked to another customer at the bar.
My meal finally arrived and I started eating when something caught my eye. It was a giant bug bigger than a toonie crawling across the floor. I walked up to the bar, paid and left my lunch on the table unfinished.
The only complain i would have about this place...
The only complain i would have about this place, which didnt really even apply to me this visit, is the space. it really is a bit small. but we had enough space. our fires were not done still a bit raw. but otehr than that everything else was pretty decent.
Their coffee is very good and the pre-made sandwiches are as good as you can expect from a bus terminal diner. The service is always fast & friendly. Relatively clean, given the clientèle.
