“We were up visiting and needed to kill a little time before check-in, so we thought we would grab a bite at the pub downstairs. The food was delicious but the service was even better. Our waitress, Kate (sp?), provided exceptional service. She was affable, attentive, and very accommodating. One member of our party has significant dietary restrictions, but Kate and the kitchen staff went above and beyond to make sure that she could was able to get her food as well.“

“We had the pleasure of eating at Four Mile Brew Pub on Sep 2nd, 2024. We were visiting Victoria on a Cruise Ship and a local couple picked this establishment for lunch along with another local couple. The food and service were outstanding, and the building is beautiful inside and out. We ate in the pub area and really enjoyed the experience. The manager really came thru, though. When paying a card case dropped to the ground and we didn't notice it. The manager found it, and seeing a California phone number called and got the house sitter who gave the Cruise Ship information, and then let us know. The manager dispatched an employee to return the card case. The house sitter let us know and we were able to talk to the manager and since the employee was on the way, we were able to meet him and retrieve the case. High praise to the staff! Thanks!“

“Reminds me of the pubs of the 70s/80s“

“I went there with my friends last night, and I just want to do a shout out to Omar! He overheard some guys talking about us in a way that would potentially put us in danger and he immediately came to let me know and had our back. He’s a super star, such a great server on top of that with amazing energy.“

“Absolutely love the 6 Mile Pub! As someone who needs gluten-free options, I was so impressed by the huge gluten-free menu and how many choices there were. It was such a nice change to have so many options instead of feeling limited to one or two dishes. Everything we ordered was delicious! We had the fish and chips (come automatically gluten free) and were hands down the best I've ever had!

Our server, Faune, was truly wonderful. She was incredibly warm, friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. Her service really made the experience even better.

Between the amazing gluten-free selection, delicious food, and fantastic service, we will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Located just around the corner from Victoria's major landmarks this delightful English pub has atmosphere that is only surpassed in greatness by it's food.
I walked into Bartholomew's one afternoon for a pint when I had an hour to kill in downtown Victoria. After browsing their extensive selection of draught beers I settled on a English ale made locally. Though the plan to just have a pint was quickly derailed by the delicious aroma of the food of the patron next to me compelled me to buy their 22$ ultimate burger with a side of salad. The burger was so delicious that I was sufficently impressed to returned that night with my partner for dinner. At dinner I got the toad in a hole (Yorkshire puddings with roast beef, gravy, potatoes, and vegetables) which was remarkable and served rather quickly after ordering.
Overall I will be returning to Bartholomew's and it has secured its place as one of my favorite pubs in Canada.“

“Friendly local hangout with A LOT of beer on tap. Had to get the poutine, the fries are great. Leona our server was great. Definitely recommend“

“Dank food, chill atmosphere, friendly staff. Great local place to hang out any day of the week.“

“Stopped in after the renovation and it’s a huge upgrade, the space feels clean, cohesive, and genuinely welcoming, with a great mix of chill and energy. The local art adds character, the menu is solid and easy to enjoy, and it’s now a perfect spot for after-work drinks or a relaxed late lunch meeting. Feels like new life has been breathed into the place“

“Had delicious soup here today. The food is always so good and great portions. The ladies are so friendly and great cooks also. Highly recommend.“

“I have been in Victoria for just over a year now and as a musician it’s a fantastic place to hang out, to jam, and to meet people.. open mic jam nights on Wednesdays and Sundays are always lots of fun and you never know who or what you’ll see… entertainment seven days a week highly recommended !!“

“I like parties, and its avery nice place to have parties.🎉“

“We enjoyed an early dinner on the deck, enjoying the lovely view of the hotel grounds, Oak Bay, Discovery & Chatham islands with the San Juans and Mount Baker in the distance. Our party enjoyed the Snug Burger (delicious), the chowder (amazing), and the salmon bowl (definitely worth having!). Javin, our server, was a delight - attentive and accommodating to our needs. We skipped desert (which I'm sure would have been wonderful) and opted for ice cream at Parachute (yum!)“

“I went here with one of my girl friends the other night and had the SWEETEST waitress. She was so friendly/accommodating. I usually don’t write reviews for restaurants - but she was just so nice! So if you’re her boss and you’re reading this, give this lady a raise!! Didnt catch her name but she had dirty blonde hair / average height!“

“15$ for a beyond greasy burger served on a dry dry bun. Three bites in and I tapped out. Grease was literally running down my wrists. Hubby had the sweet and spicy, dry and stringy…… Will stick to 649 or Thunderbird“

“BBE. Best Birthday Ever. Friends took me to 1550's for beer and wings for my birthday. I love chicken wings and the selection here is awesome and delicious. Keith the owner wished me Happy Birthday and promised NOT to have the crew sing to me!Highly recommended by someone who's been enjoying chicken for five and a half decades and beer for slightly less. Mmmm, Dark Matter Beer!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Friendly place good food.“

“It's not their fault sometimes the customers can be douchy. But I love pull tabs and keno. One time I asked for lemon in my water and they gave me barlime and unfortunately I find barlime to be one of the most disgusting things on planet earth. Would go back to gamble.“

“Atmosphere and service were great, but the food itself was just average.

It's tucked away in a quiet corner near UVic, so it can be a little tricky to find the first time. But that's also what makes it a bit of a hidden gem. There's a courtyard and a pond right inside the restaurant. The vibe feels like a lodge nestled in a scenic spot.

The servers were nice and attentive. The menu was pretty varied too, going beyond basic burgers and sandwiches to include tacos, poke bowls, etc.

Overall it was a pleasant experience, but the food fell short compared to specialty spots. It wasn't bad, just not quite good enough to call delicious either. That said, the plating was very appetizing.

A nice spot to eat surrounded by quiet, green forest scenery. Just don't go in expecting specialty-restaurant-level flavor.“

“Our new local spot. Amazing food, great music and the staff are wonderful. Irish Steve and Tilly made us feel so welcome.“

“Had a really good experience at Browns Socialhouse. I ordered the blackened chicken pasta, and it was really good. The nachos were outstanding and probably my favorite part of the meal. Our server was polite and friendly, and the service was great overall. Definitely a place I’d come back to.“

“The food is SO tasty here! I absolutely love the vibe and the service is great and did I mention HOW TASTY THE FOOD IS?! Will be making this my regular spot with my besties! Do yourselves a favour and eat here. You will not be disappointed 😇“
