8 Best Bars in Nanaimo

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“We are from Red Deer and this restaurant is in my Son's neighbourhood. We dined there and had the bison ribeye and chicken club wrap. Both were truly delicious, the wine and the service was great. Can't wait for a return visit!“

“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.“

“The service was excellent, and the outdoor seating was really nice. However, the food was a bit disappointing compared to the service and atmosphere. The sangria and limoncello were just mediocre. While the halibut with fruit salsa exceeded my expectations, the salmon was underwhelming—it didn’t taste fresh and lacked flavor. The turmeric-infused rice also felt a bit dry. Looking around at other tables, the Cobb salad or fish and chips might have been a better choice.“

“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!“
