Don’t go here. They implement a stupid $20 gratuity fee to walk you a beer 5 steps from the bar or if you go up to the bar yourself to get a beer they don’t do that. Maybe earn a tip that I choose to give you and we weren’t a group of 6 or more. It was two people and the waitress had the audacity to charge this stupid gratuity. Never coming here again.

Seriously do NOT come here

Ordered their chicken Parmesan sandwich that was “on special” but it was not special at all. Pretty small and not a ton of flavour. Person I went with ordered the 1/2 rack of ribs and wings and it looked really good.

Live in the area and decided we needed a pub night out, Tuesday, this place was super dead, had the club and nachos some wine and and iced tea. The club was small but decent, but not for 25 bucks, side of chippers? they were just flat out potato chips? Blah. Should have gotten the fries.

My wife was happy with her nachos and her wine the service was good but I expected it because it was super dead. Because of the food and prices have to say it's not a place I would really go back to, other pubs in the area are better. I may, just may, go back to try the Award winning pizza??? We will see. Stay tuned ;)

Buckle up, it’s a long one - From the time we arrived at the Tipsy Pig it was a sour experience. I sat down and before I could get my jacket off the waitress asked what I would like to order, quick service was not the issue, what put me off was when my friend offered me a glass of her bottle of wine she had already ordered and I accepted our server rolled her eyes and walked away (I can only guess she was annoyed I wasn’t buying anything new??). A bit later when she came back around, I asked about a flavour of wings and her response was “I have no idea, I don’t eat that”. It really felt like every time I ordered I was inconveniencing her. When I asked for the bill and confirmed that my husband and my orders were on the same bill her response was, “well I guess I could put them back together” (my husband and I clearly came in together and had it truly been a problem she could have handed me 2 bills and I could add them together). The only time our server was friendly was when she brought the machine over for payment.

Second and bigger issue of the night – My friend purchased a bottle of wine, on the menu it was priced at $43, when the bill came the price was $49. When pointing out the $6 discrepancy to the server her response was, “let me see what I can do”. Already this is a strange response to a mistake, which tells me she already knew what happened. She comes back and says that the price has changed and they are allowed to change the price without notice because there is an asterisk on the menu stating that the price can change at any time. It was pointed out that the wine was purchase off the drink menu that does not have the asterisk, this disclaimer was only stated on the food menu not the drink menu. The server went to get the manager. When the manager came by our table his response was similar, the cost to purchase the wine had gone up to $29 a bottle so they upped the price, the menu is over 9 months old and hasn’t been updated with the current pricing, the asterisk covers both menus even though it was only printed on the food menu. My friend pointed out that she only ordered off the drink menu and didn’t look at the food menu and the manager said, “well the lawyers said we could get away with it”. When he saw that we were not just accepting of the fact that they can just increase the price by 12% without so much as a warning prior to consuming it, he stomped off like a child not resolving a thing. There are at least seven other pubs within the immediate vicinity of this one, all with similar food quality, ambiance, and pricing, with the lack of customer service displayed here we will not be coming back to the Tipsy Pig.

A couple of suggestions on how to handle this situation in the future- the obvious, print updated menus, how much more effort would it have been to have the “prices will increase without notice” asterisk printed on both the food and beverage menus. In addition to this, when a price increases to such a degree the server should be pointing it out when the item is ordered, not snuck onto the bill after it is too late. “Just so you are aware, the price on this item has increased, do you still want to order it?”. As a manager in the same industry, if one of my staff had of handled this situation in a similar manner as your manager they would be getting a reprimand as well as retraining in customer conflict resolution.

Took a minute for the server to come over but when I went to get her she was also the bartender and it was busy. Ordered the fig jam burger sans bun, not sure where the fig jam was but the burger itself was ok. Got the crispy chips as the side, asked for the dill pickle but they tasted like normal chips to me. Bellinis were on special and absolutely delicious!

So I order a rib and Mac cheese dish with a side of fries/ cornbread.Cornbread had a big hard chunk in the middle. Ribs were NOT fall off the bone. The Mac & Cheese sauce was turned. I tell the waitress about the Mac & Cheese and get NO manager visit, no credit on my bill, no response from the kitchen. My wife gets fingers and fries with a tiny side of sauce so asks for another and gets charged $2.25. Just a joke. Let these guys go bankrupt as there are so many other good pubs in the NW.
