Quarterway Pub Reviews
A great little dive bar with a fun karaoke night.
The Quarterway is one of my all-time top three places to do karaoke. Yes, it’s your classic dive bar, but the staff is always great, and the atmosphere is peak mid-island. I moved away from Nanaimo in 2025, but I always prioritize visiting the Quarterway for karaoke when I find myself in town on a Friday or Saturday night.
Went for lunch and our server was great! Stayed for the meat draw. Good food!

The restaurant can be busy and understaffed at times, but the staff makes an effort to provide good service. Head Chef Tom puts intention into weekly specials, adding to an edible menu. The food quality can be inconsistent; some dishes are flavorful and well-prepared, like the Cod fish and chips, which was praised for its good flavor and spice on the fries. The Quarterway burger is highly recommended for burger lovers, being one of the best some have ever had, with in-house made patties noted for their excellence. Guests have enjoyed appetizers like deep-fried cauliflower and zucchini, lightly dusted with curry powder, and calamari that was cooked correctly. The menu includes basic options like soup and sandwiches, which satisfy without complaints. The pub also features great music and a great atmosphere, making it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
