10 Best Pubs near Cowichan Bay

“Fantastic place, with a spectacular view! Better than your typical pub food, everything was house made and delicious!! Service was great and made you feel more then welcomed!! Pool tables and dart boards, events happening often to bring community together and live music. It's a great pub with parking below it.“

“Love eating at The Cobble stone pub in Cobble Hill Great food and service from Kaitlyn and the coffee ☕️ is the best Cheers 🍻 Ron Wolf“

“Great burger! Dropped in with a local friend. Bartender/server was super friendly and quick. Shout out to her for being awesome!
Ordered the happy hour fries to start. Came out quick and she made sure to offer us more drinks. Lots of good happy hour choices.
Sat inside as we were going to play pool (1$ a game. Super cheap!) We didn’t end up playing as we were talking business. Darts also in back room area.
Friend had chicken burger and liked it. The beef burger was actually great. Not cheap but worth it. Had a Caesar salad side as we ordered fries off happy hour menu to start.
Only small draw back was the dated beer signs on the walls for such a charming and beautiful location. Feels like the local beer drinking pub which it truly is.
I will not just drive past anymore. The Black Swan is worth a stop.
Cheers!“

“The Karaoke is the best👌“

“We used to come in here often when our friends ran the nearby campground, but were concerned that it would still be here after what has happened recently in Crofton. We were pleased to see that it is still around and was quite busy when we went in yesterday lunch time. The food was just great ! Very tasty, big portions and great prices. I wish we lived a little closer!“

“I’ve been going to Jac’s for quite sometime and everyone is pleasant.

They’re professional and very welcoming to whoever walks in. I’ve never met a bunch of people more engaged in customer service, and just wanting everyone to feel at home.

I’d highly recommend them.“

“Final supper on the island before our journey back to the prairies. This supper was memorable. Large portions, great seafood linguine, good chowder, fish and chips and the shrimp platter. Service was great, our servers were a pleasure to talk with and made us feel valued and welcome. When we return to the island, this place will be on our must visit list again!“

“Went on a very busy evening (valentines) with out of town friends. Really want to acknowledge the top notch service! Extremely busy evening but the staff did a phenomenal job!! The food was very good, I was impressed. 10/10 on the lettuce wraps!! Child friendly was a big bonus. We will definitely return.“
