A Goose so thirsty we named our place after him.  Stirling, was a remarkable Canadian Goose who lived on the banks of the Ganaraska River in Port Hope, Ontario.  Remembered for his dry wit, good fortune and love of watering holes.  Stirling, lived a life of comfort, while maintaining a sense of adventure and willingness to risk. It was an uncany ability to win 'games of chance' that brought Stirling his wealth, though it was his generousity that gave him prestige.

So Raise a Toast to the Goose who Cheers'd the Most! 

The Thirsty Goose is a bar and pub.  It was created to be a comfortable gathering place for the people of Port Hope and its visitors. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable and friendly.
