Best bar anywhere, if you like live music, great staff, and an owner who cares about her community and communities abroad, Amazing drinks (cocktails and drafts and spirits and more), and its could keep going on and on. Im not even a local to Nanimo and it feels like a home away from home, youre missing out by not going!

Drinks were great and everyone was so nice! Chatted with the family who owns the bar as they decorated for Halloween and had a lot of fun. Definitely coming back next time we're in town!

Was in town for a conference and hit the Nanaimo Bar for two nights of fun.
Staff was friendly and drinks came out quickly even with a fairly large party (30+ both nights) on top of regular crowd.

Missed the musician on the first night but the DJ on Friday was pretty strong and when our group flooded the dance floor he upped his game to 11.

One of those small town bars that have been around forever. It's got some wrinkles but she still knows how to have a good time.
Did not have food so no rating.

Last night, I paid a $20 cover to see a DJ. The music was fine, but the experience was ruined by the male bartender’s behavior. My friend and I ordered one drink each. When he later offered us another round, we both clearly said no and asked for the bill. Despite this, he returned with two more drinks. When we reminded him we hadn’t ordered them, he insisted we had and then slammed his fist on our table when we refused them. This was aggressive, unprofessional, and made us feel unsafe. I will not be returning, and I wouldn’t recommend this venue to anyone who expects respectful service.
