Well, I just stopped by Gladstones today and just wanted to order some food since I’m downtown and I have never asked for 2 pieces of ID’s just to order food and I’ve been into pubs and bars and bars I can just order food without asking for any ID’s why things the first time I got asked and I was just there on August 22nd 2023 and they served me food without any ID’s so I don’t know if this is a new law or just Gladstones cause they didn’t post anything on their Google Page or their Facebook page but I have talked to a friend that had own her own restaurants and she even said it’s weird also so for awhile I’m not going back and Gladstones you just lost a customer!

I like the vibe of the place, one of the few places that actually feels alive. Food is great too, but since this is a brewery, the beer should be where they shine. However, the beer is the weakest point. As far as brewing goes, it's done well. Serving the beer is where they fail horribly. Majority of the time I've been there the beer tastes flat, not crispy and fresh. They really need to up their game in serving and maintaining their beer. Stopped coming in since my Pilsner, which is supposed to be served with at least an inch of head on top, was poured looking and tasting like an apple juice

The best Mexican food I ever tried in Canada. (I’m mexican) you have to come and try the tacos for sure! Leave McDonald’s by a side and make your evening prefect after a nice ski day.

Solid craft beer from Pilsners to IPAs. Food is good and affordable for what you get.

Good Beer, less on the menu for those that don't prefer hoppy stuff but still a great selection usually have a Sour on Guest rotation. They have Cider as well and the odd cocktail. Tasty food that partners well with a pint. Good to go solo or with a group.

Nice little place , sometimes the staff can be a bit rude. But you have to let it slide, I suppose, if you want to enjoy a mediocre cold, strong beer on the cold patio. Good burgers, tho. Unfortunately, it just seems the staff can be a bit

We loved the experience. We met with the owner who is this magnificent woman, full of light and a real character. Heart of gold and so full of love for her community. It was honestly very refreshing.

The beer here is good. The food was not. The hamburgers were chewy, small and unenjoyable. The serving of fries were meagre but that was okay because they tasted like they were from a fry factory. I enjoy the brew pub vibe and ambience but on a cold, rainy December day, the whole place was wide open without not much care for how much energy they were using by keeping it so wide open. And where we sat, the heater was going full tilt. The guy at the cash was nice. But on the whole it was such a disappointing experience.Parking: We were there mid afternoon so parking was easy
