Beware, the outdoor closed in patio is actually a smoking section. The sign says no smoking but ash trays are provided and customers stand right beside the door to smoke. There's no getting away from the smoke out there due to the closed in area.

Felt unwelcome as soon as we sat down. Asked for our drink order 10 sec after sitting and when we said we didn't know yet and picked up the menu we were told that wasn't the drink menu and the server walked away, never bringing a drink menu. Scoffed under her breath while walking back inside and I'm not sure what we did to warrant the attitude. She came back 1 min later to ask again so we just got water.
Food was good. I had a black bean burger and fries.
I will say the server was much more pleasant while we paid the bill and left

Food was good. Service was not. Waitress was quite rude. Asked for drink orders without providing a drink menu and then huffed that we didn't have an answer immediately. Acknowledged she hadn't provided drink menus, but then still didn't bring one. Returned 60 seconds later and again asked what we wanted to drink. Went with water because we weren't sure what they served.
Atmosphere seemed interesting until we realized they allow smoking on the patio even though there is a sign saying smoke free. Multiple people smoked throughout our meal which ruined the atmosphere for us.
Will not return.

Stayed in the hotel for about two weeks. For us it was perfect, the new renovated rooms are super comfy. The pub downstairs is super chill, with a very local group of regulars.

Kid-friendliness: Kids allowed until 8pm.

Wheelchair accessibility: Through the hotel entrance at back.

Wow! Three of us ordered the Sunday night special Roast Beef Dinner and we're all gobsmacked how delicious the food was and how big the meal was. These amazing folks supplied a top quality restaurant meal at pub prices. Our first experience here and can't wait to return. Thanks much for those that make this happen!!

See for yourself, greasy and over cooked absolutely gross 🤮

This place used to be the bomb but the last few times I've tried to go have been terrible.

We ordered food for the last UFC event including some wings and burgers and they got everything wrong. Wrong flavours, wrong burgers, and everything was overcooked AF.

They have a wing special on Mondays but twice now we've tried to go and they're out of wings by 6:00.

This is not the same place it was pre-Covid.

About 8 of us turned up for lunch, locals vacated a table so we could all sit together. The food was very good, the waiter was friendly and extremely competent at his job. It's a bit bare bones, but it is good to see a proper pub still surviving after the B.S 3 years we have all been through. Thank you Cranberry Arms

Food was terrible, both of us had the steak sandwich. The garlic toast was a half of a hamburger bun, the steaks were so tough. For the price of $21.95 the food was a joke. We won’t be eating there again.

We went and checked out Cranberry Arms pub after some friends recommended it to us. We had a party of 6, and were served by Elisha. The bar wasnt too busy when we got in, but ended up getting more busy as the night went on, and Elisha was manning the bar and serving tables. She was honestly a superstar. Despite how busy she was, she was still incredibly attentative and accommodating. Super friendly as well. The food at Cranberry Arms was honestly fantastic, and was some of the best pub food I've had. We weren't disappointed with anything we got. We had a great experience here, thanks Elisha for being so great!!
