“I can’t comment on the food as I haven’t eaten here, but I’ve stopped by multiple times just for a pint. This review is based on that experience only.

I really want to give this place 5 stars—the atmosphere is nice and it’s always been a decent spot for a drink. However, I’m removing 1 stars for one big reason: the way they handle liquor tax.

Most establishments in B.C. include the liquor tax in the listed price of a pint. Here, it’s not included—you’ll see one price on the menu, but when the bill comes you’re hit with three different taxes: the standard two plus the B.C. liquor tax, which is passed directly to the customer. Considering the pints are already on the pricey side, I find this practice frustrating and misleading.

For example: two Fat Tug IPAs (Driftwood) came to $19.50 before tip. That’s steep, and not the kind of experience that makes me want to come back as often.

Hopefully they reconsider how they structure their pricing, because this could easily be a 5-star spot otherwise.“

“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!“
