The first appear to be better because it was more open and the group was not spread out over a distance and was able to greet with most people. The Pump while it is great, I find it too cramped (I might post a pic from last night's showing that) and for a group of 50-60 it was quite challenging at times to navigate through the area (there was a Sens game last night too so probably why it is was more crowded than usual). The first hour or so I was with the same group of girls until the rest of the mass arrived and it was cramped till about 10 PM. Overall despite the cramping and overcrowding it was relatively good, though the first two hours and the last one were probably the better ones.
Though both places the food was good so as the beer though I only ate appetizers (including wings and brownies) and not the main dishes that some of the ladies which arrived before me. Note that the Pump does sell Beau's.
I found many of the Royal Oaks to be cramped as well or the group was too spread out like a couple of years ago at the one on Slater/Kent.
Anyone have any opinion about which bars are the best (or if you want the opposite, the worst)

On Elgin, the best bar is the Manx, but if you're a large group, either Sir John A's or The Standard.
In the Market, Chez Lucien, but there probably isn't even capacity for 60 people total. I would go for the Brig, the Clocktower, the Earl of Sussex or if its summer, its hard to beat the patio at the Black Thorn.
