17 Best Pubs near Gabriola

“a small but cozy spot right across the street from the ocean, as promised! My room was quiet and clean, all the simple amenities for a getaway space, amazing location, priced right, incredible food in the restaurant, friendly hosts, what's not to love?“

“I went for lunch with coworkers and we ordered our food ahead of time so it would be ready shortly after getting there as we only had an hour. We had to wait about 25 min after arriving to get our food, which was disappointing. I had the jalapeno burger with a gluten free bun. The bun was very good, but the rest was a little bland. I don't know where the jalapeno was supposed to be in the burger (I think maybe the jam?) but I couldn't taste it at all. My side salad was quite good and I enjoyed it more than the burger. The atmosphere was very nice and we enjoyed ourselves overall. I wish I could give 3.5 stars, as I'm not quite at a 4, but I think 3 is too low. Maybe I just need to give it another try!“

“We stumbled upon the Crow & Gate while visiting the island! Loved the atmosphere, everyone was friendly and the food was delicious! Highly recommend this place.“

“It's a fun place to eat and be merry!!“

“It's always a gamble claiming you have the best wings in town but the Landlubber does NOT lie. Our favourite wings by far, dry or doused in sauce, they always hit the nail on the head. Lots of great beer on tap, and very unique pub fare (including great breakfast!) make the Landlubber an easy staple and icon in Nanaimo.“

“Amazing staff and amazing shows at this venue🥳🙌 keep up the amazing work🎶“

“Stopped in here while we were staying at Living Forest Campground. Outstanding Pizzas! We had the Shrimp Scampi and the Ultimate Hawaiian. As good or better than most pizza places. We will be back next time we are in the area. Service was excellent. Friendly and attentive. Well done!!“

“I love the Jingle Pot Pub. The food and drinks are pretty average but the service goes way beyond average. Sherry is a fantastic server and an integral part of this establishment. She always greets us with a warm welcome and provides outstanding service. My husband comes with his hockey buddies and I go with my girlfriend. We all love Sherry. She has a great sense of humor and an incredible memory. I highly recommend visiting for a great atmosphere!“
