Sweet Small Town Pub, love the atmosphere and people. Realized our straight up hard liquor shots were watered down, not impressed.
The attached liquor store staff need to smile and be more pleasant. They also need to stock theirs shelves whether there's a liquor store strike or not the shelves are always very low stocked, selection is poor.

Pretty dive bar-y but you can definitely have a good time here with the right people. It’s pretty cheap which is nice, they have a jukebox, pool table and the outdoor area is surprisingly nice.
The service is pretty bad, we called some time ahead because we had a big group for the night and they didn’t take it seriously so they were under staffed and the one lady working kept going for a smoke too so that didn’t help.
Don’t expect a lot and you’ll have a good time. Karaoke on saturdays is like a time warp.

The 3.8 rating was accurate. It’s inexpensive, friendly, but service is slow, food is lacklustre, but it has that 80s dive bar feel with smoking section, VLTs, Nelson’s mom and everything else you recall including the smells. Good enough to stop in, not good enough to make a trip back.

The service is the only thing I will respect here. The girls working the bar were super helpful.

What had appeared to be the owner on the other hand is another story.

My partner was harassed by a group of men outside of the pub while she was having a smoke. She was then followed into the bar and was harassed when playing a game of pool.

The “owner” then bullied her into giving them the table and when she stood her ground the men came over and stole the game from her…

Her family was there for the weekend and the group will definitely not be going back to this disgusting establishment.

You people should be ashamed and embarrassed….

Ps. There washroom was filthy…

Please avoid.
Came here for the TVs to watch hockey, barely able to hear any sound, two TVs just permanently displaying betting ads. One server for the whole place, she's doing her best but enormous waiting times, basically have to walk up to her. Miserable.
