Well, looks like we missed the opportunity....The Wooden Nickle is closing, due to excess costs of running.  Too bad, liked the homey environment.

Remind me, where is (WAS?) the Wooden Nickel located?   Can't recall if I ever was there.  Of course most days I can't recall where the hell I was when I woke up in the morning.

Any interest in breakfast at the wooden Nickle around tomorrow 10?


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle

Yeah, I'm in.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: kaw74 on February 19, 2025, 10:55:14 PM
We are thinking of having breakfast this Sat at 10 at the Nickle if anyone is interested.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: Runningdog on February 20, 2025, 07:34:36 AM
You know, the Nickle is not the same with the new owners.  Slow service, etc. They are friendly, but just don't seem to have the organization, yet.
Lets think of an alternate place.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: Jefft on February 20, 2025, 07:51:53 AM
The Nickle sucks! Woody’s Pub opens at 10 on weekends and  does a good breakfast. Try that.

Bill works.

I was thinking how about next sat here at the pub in Falkland and maybe see if some of the boys from Kamloops and Chase might chime in.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: Runningdog on February 20, 2025, 05:07:56 PM
Yeah, a bit longer schedule works better.  Sounds like a great idea.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle

I'd love to come, but my son generously shared the family virus with me. I'll be isolating for a while yet.

I could travel to Falkland for brekkie.  What time and what place?


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: Runningdog on February 21, 2025, 08:04:59 AM
Looks like it's next Saturday, Mar 1 at the Falkland Pub, if I'm not mistaken.  10:00.

You are correct next Sat.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: hardrockminer on February 21, 2025, 05:13:22 PM
The Pub...is that the place across from the former Ranch?  Can you check their hours...I seem to remember meeting there once and they weren't open for food until noon.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: Runningdog on February 22, 2025, 10:36:58 AM
According to their website, they open at 9am Sats and Suns, but no breakfast on their menu.   Next idea?

I wonder why they would open that early without breakfast. I tried to call but no answer but will drop by and ask them.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle

Falkland pub is closed for renovations.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: kaw74 on February 23, 2025, 06:15:47 PM
I am willing to go to Woodys next Sat but not sure if the Kamloops, Chase boys would go that far.

The way the weather is I might just insure my bike and ride down.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: hardrockminer on February 23, 2025, 08:26:29 PM
Is the Ranch still closed?


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: kaw74 on February 24, 2025, 09:48:46 AM

Different owners and they don't open till 11am and no breakfast. Now there is Dinner 97 in Westwold that could be an option.

They have some round booths that a few people could fit into depending how many would be coming.



Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: Runningdog on February 24, 2025, 10:08:46 AM
I'd drive to Westwold.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: kaw74 on February 24, 2025, 02:14:08 PM

Ok lets go there. I will see how many are coming and get a both saved if needed.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle

I'll be there.

I’ve driven or ridden past there many times but never stopped.  How about a review when you’ve finished?


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: kilowop on February 24, 2025, 10:52:23 PM
I was at the place in Westwood several times last summer.  It seems to be quite popular, and when I was there, the food was good, like REAL Fries, not those damn frozen things.  BUT like most places, a lot depends on who the cook is on the day you go there.  It's a funky place with Nostalgia pictures, record album jackets on the walls, etc. They have several booths that will hold 6 -8 people if you're friendly, plus normal tables. I have nothing particular on my Schedule for Saturday, so I'll watch how this develops, and plan to be there to get caught up on the winter Hi-Jinks.
CHEERS

I'd like to come if I'm over this bug. So far, it doesn't look good. Wouldn't want any of you to catch it.

Weather forecast for Saturday is looking decent.  Partly sunny and plus 12.  If that holds up, I'll be heading for Westwold for sure.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: Jefft on February 27, 2025, 07:52:16 AM
I will attend

I was thinking 10 if that works.

Crap!  I've made two commitments for Saturday.  I have to go to Salmon Arm.  Will have to miss breakfast in Westwold.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: kaw74 on February 28, 2025, 01:29:12 PM
Looks like Diner 97 is closed until the middle of march.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: Runningdog on February 28, 2025, 02:02:33 PM
OK, change of venue.  Heard from a reliable source that Eatology in downtown Vernon is good.  3100 30st, in the old bus depot.  10am Saturday.   Sorry about that, you folks from the north, but if you don't feel like driving that far, we can do a meet in Westwold or even closer to you further into the spring.


Title: Re: Wooden Nickle
Post by: kaw74 on February 28, 2025, 07:25:20 PM
See you there.
