8 Best Bars in Nanaimo

“We were visiting from Vernon BC and came here for a night of karaoke. Didn't know what to expect but it was beyond our expectations. We had a blast and Erin was a fabulous host. Thanks again.“

“Best hometown bar in Nanaimo with the very BEST beautiful soul of an owner. We love you and the special place you’ve made for ALL people!!“

“Food was good. Service was good. Black Current Pale ale was tasty“

“I strongly recommend the Milton Street Public House. This was my first visit to Nanaimo and as I pulled up to the restaurant I thought I had the wrong address. I was delighted to find that I had the correct address and this restaurant is located in a Victorian home built in 1892. The atmosphere has a really great vibe.

Our waiter (Keyin) was kind, attentive, and very helpful with helping me to decide what to order. I'm not a vegetarian but, I had the veggie flatbread (poached pear, cambozola, candied walnut, and pickled red onion) and it was delicious.

I strongly recommend the Milton Street Public House. I'll be dining here again.“

“The official watering hole of Smashtv“

“Service was great, food is always good - SO LOUD it is always so difficult to hear and we had to shout at the table. The music is loud which makes people talk louder and it is just not pleasant. I love the renovations that were done, looks great. Not sure what you can do about the noise level, it is a deterrent for me to go in.“

“Under the previous owners, had eaten here a number of times and it was consistently poor.

Now...: very good food, excellent service and reasonable prices. Everybody in our rather large group was thoroughly satisfied with their meal. I will definitely be back.“

“We hosted a birthday party at Palace Hotel, and I can't recommend it enough! Jeet was incredibly accommodating throughout the entire process, ensuring everything went smoothly. From the planning stages to the party itself, he was attentive and made us feel so welcome. The venue was perfect for our celebration, and the service was top-notch. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, this is definitely the spot! Highly recommended!“
