The Pub on the Beach

Well, I thought it should have been called the Sparny Tickle, or Thornyback, or Driftwood, or something like that. I'm told "The Oasis" was the name of Darren's chip van, so he just transported the name to his new beach bar and grill. What a lovely spot!  It should be very popular during the summer months, a nice place to go for a walk and stop in for a brew during the spring and fall, and if it can cater to the snowmobilers in the winter, then it could be a year round thing. Let's hope it is and that it's successful.

They've even anticipated the increasing boat traffic on the lake as those around the lake, especially those across the way in the Humber Valley Resort, start taking advantage of the great waterway. Can you go all the way down the river to the Bay of Exploits? There may be a few obstacles, but I'm sure they can be overcome. More and more people are using the lake for canoeing and kayaking. They've put in a floating dock and walkway, in a slightly deeper section of the beach. Also, when I walked on the beach yesterday I think they had dragged it and cleaned it up a little. The road to the beach and the parking area had also been graded.

It's a bar AND grill. They'll be serving French fries, hamburgers, steaks, things like that.  I haven't seen the menu yet, but when I get a chance, I'll update this a little.

I walked down there yesterday in anticipation of their opening at 11:00 am, but they had a lot of last minute glitches so they were delayed a little. They may have opened yesterday evening. Their OFFICIAL opening is July 9th, and they have some great plans for that event, with some first rate entertainment. The Oasis features a large dining platform and entertainment area. You can even bring along your guitar and plug it into the deck and use the house's sound system. That may be nice. I may go down there myself and sing a song or two.

This will be very  nice:  Go for a walk in the evening; sit on their deck and have a beer and a plate of fries; walk home. One could do worse.
