8 Best Bars in Nanaimo

“Love The Nanaimo Bar! The staff and owner are amazing! The vibe is 100% always. Tasty drinks at a very reasonable price. 🍻“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“The official watering hole of Smashtv“

“This OJ's is always great, the staff are calm even when it is super busy, they always have a smile and the restaurant is never loud with music or sports blaring in the background. We had dietary restrictions and those were met with a smile. My only complaint on this particular day was the server forgot a few things, and I don't like to be 'that person' to remind them and make them feel bad.“

“I only write review when the services is exceptionally well. Lisa is exceptionally attentive and helpful, from recommending fishes to caring out needs. The other girl is very helpful too. Great seaside view and convenient location, wonderful dishes plus spacious seating, I’d recommend this restaurant to all viewers.“

“I’ve been to many bars, but the service provided by Isha is on another level. They have an incredible knack for remembering regulars and making newcomers feel like old friends. Professional, attentive, and incredibly skilled-highly recommend stopping by when they are behind the bar!“
