New Years they got our reservations wrong and split our party in two different tables. Didn't go over well for the $130 each we paid. Very disappointed won't be going back.

Went for Saint Patrick Day, the Irish Band and Dancers were Awesome! Our Server Leah was terrific. We had ordered the Steak Bomb and Calamari. The steak in the sandwich was grizzly and very chewy. The Calamari was greasy and also very chewy. I would not recommend either one of these 2 food items. We have been here many times and the food is generally good. It can be hit and miss as well. I just took out the steak on have of my sandwich and didn’t eat the other half. We paid for a meal that was upmost disappointing. We never tried these food items before and will never again. It was a busy night and didn’t bring the quality of the food to our server, Leah was awesome! You might consider hiring a new Chef.

Trivia nights are good. Host is a little obnoxious but he’s endearing once you get to know him.

While recently dining at the admiral pub, our local watering hole, a flood of reminders came over me as to why I had not been back in so long
1- the service It is actually pretty good, a few great servers, a few not at all. The male servers seem to be either miserable or in their own world 2-the food I've had a few times where the food has been quite tasty, that being said, it is very inconsistent. The oil does not seem to get changed enough, the chicken wings have gone from decent to beyond edible-had to return mine as they were way over breaded and hard and stale tasting. The servers have been good to try and take some items off the bills in the past, but I've also seen them get yelled at by the kitchen when we were sitting in the back last time. It was highly unprofessional, and to be honest, very uncomfortable. I felt sorry for the server! I stick to the curries, the Bronx bomber pizza, fish and chips (when oil is fresh and fish is not too greasy) the burgers are popular, but I find the beef burger is barely any meat abd mostly breadcrumbs, very over salted. The pork belly bites are rhe worst I have ever had to be quite honest, and don't even bother with the calamari unless you like to eat elastic bands. 3- the atmosphere The atmosphere can be good, usually more hyped up for sports events which is why I like to go. They do have a nice selection of entertainment throughout the week-trvia,(looks super fun and host seems awesome) poker, live music and karaoke. The place does seem to get rented out fairly often as well. It does have a lot of space. 4- the management I honestly don't know who runs this place. The servers don't really seem to know who there manager is either. I'm assuming it's family owned/operated. It has definitely gone downhill the last while. It seems like there is not much customer appreciation/satisfaction in this establishment these days, which needs to change, and fast. Eg- Last time we were there my husband and his friend used the washroom which apparently was trashed - I beleive the the chef-shorter bald guy- (who was getting off of work) who they know from chitter chatter etc. And when they told him the condition of the bathroom, he shrugged his shoulders and left out the door. It was APPALLING to be honest! He did not even let anyone else know to go service the washroom. Little things like that go a longgggg way! Overall, the place has potential. But I know a good 10/15 people who also all know someone who has stopped coming for similar reasons. We have faith in you, please accept this as positive feed back and make the admiral great again!

Been there 3 or 4 times since new management and the food never fails to disappoint 😞
Went for the first time and everything was excellent. The food was great, the jazz band in the background was nice, and the service was top-notch. Our server, Oliver, really cared about his job and was very knowledgabale. At one point he ran to change an order, not something I've seen before. I'd recommend this place, I'll go back soon.

Had my birthday party here and it's a great pub! Good distance for friends from over the lower mainland to meet at. The food and drinks are great at good prices and the live music is fantastic!
