14 Best Pubs near Saanichton

“Excellent experience. Lunch for three of us. 2 had the 2 piece cod & chips special and 1 had the clubhouse with fries. All were cooked perfectly and the servings were good size. Very busy, the parking lot was full, but we were seated and served quickly and efficiently. very nice comfortable atmosphere. Prices were comparable to other eating establishments. It is worth the trip.“

“The place is decent, the food was good and the super Cesar was really unique! Although the service was quite long and I got there at also 6:30pm and stayed there till over an hour later because of how long the service lasted, I don’t know if they’re short staffed or they were way behind on making food for other people cause I did notice a lot of food were left out to serve and that took awhile for one person to serve one another. But nevertheless and despite that it did took awhile for my food being served, it did came out hot and not cold and it was good either way.“

“The Four Mile Pub and Restaurant is an historic building of 1858. In that early era, the Victoria stage coaches would stop to rest the horses and travelers could have refreshments on their way to Sooke and further up Island. Today our lunch was fantastic and the four of us had Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, French Onion Soup, Buddha Bowl with a poached egg on top and Chicken Fingers and Fries. All of our meals were excellent. The ambience of the Four Mile is calm and I truly love the old fashioned decor. Perfect atmosphere for a neighbourhood pub. We even met some neighbours also having lunch there! The service was perfect as we were there to eat and catch up with old friends so we weren't in a hurry. The server told us it was only his second day working there but he was very attentive, friendly and was doing a phenomenal job for only his second day! This group of friends goes for lunch often at the Four Mile Restaurant but today seemed to be extra specially good with delicious food and outstanding service.“

“My husband and I came in today and sat on the patio. Our server Sara was super friendly and answered any questions that we had regarding the menu. We were visiting from out of town but we will definitely be coming back here because of the service. Thank you Sara! :)“

“This place is great for what it is - a very casual pub. We arrived after 1030pm with a group of around 20 (wedding afterparty). It was a busy night as they had other events going on, but they made the effort to get us space.I cannot say enough nice things about our server - she was the only one taking care of our large group, and she was super quick, accurate, and completely friendly. People kept moving around, ordering drinks for others, getting rounds of shots etc, and this woman had it NAILED. If I'd had been in her position, I would have lost it - we were kind and not belligerent (I think), but the whole situation must have been aggravating trying to keep track of people.Drinks were decent, and damn, so cheap. I got a round of shots for the table and was fully expecting my bar bill to be over $250, but it ended up around $100.Can't speak to the food, but damn, please give the blonde server with glasses a raise.“

“Owner Alan and wait staff Denise made us feel so at home! This pub is charming and being from Irish decent we thoroughly enjoyed the many decorations (especially the garden gnomes). The food was fantastic and the price was right! We will certainly be back??“

“The monkey tree is a local staple. The food is great and the staff are friendly. I’d highly recommend trying the steak frites and going to visit for the Saturday music bingo! The prices are reasonable and the pull tabs always cash out so make sure to stop by at any chance that you get. Additionally, if you ask nicely they will give you 5 sol beers for $25 and you get to finish them all in 10 minutes.“

“For pub food, it does quite well, with a lot of relatively affordable options, and a wide variety of items to choose from. It was busy when we went, but the service was still pretty good considering. A bit loud, but that's kind of to be expected from a popular pub.“

“Nice little upstairs pub. They have a small patio that over looks the parking lot but we quite like it . The pub has a great atmosphere and always seems quite busy. Service is good, the beers are cold and they usually have a local brewer on special. Food has been okay to excellent.Parking: For Victoria it has a large parking lot. It usually is quite full but great on off peak times. Some on street parking too, but park away and walk it's in a lovely location.“

“If I could give it a 3.5 I would. The atmosphere here is friendly and you get a good mix of clientele. It's nice they have some entertainment on the weekends to keep you there a bit longer. But the so called "happy hour" is a joke and they're not fooling anyone. It's only offered fro 3-5, at 3 there's hardly anyone in there, so as the after work crowd starts to come in after 4 that leaves little time. 2nd the happy hour beer only saves you about .40cents as it's not the pint size, 3rd the happy hour menu appears to be made up of anything thats leftover outta the freezer, things that are not already on the menu. I just think for a local watering hole they could do better by their regulars by offering a better happy hour that maybe runs from 3-6.Okay so today 4/2/24 stopped into the loghouse for dinner & a beer. Atmosphere was friendly as usual and between us we tried the fish & chip special on Tuesdays (cod) & one of the chicken burgers and both were absolutely delicious!! Generous portions, flavour was fantastic & you could tell the fellas in the kitchen cared about the product they were putting out. So definitely an increase from a 3.5 to a 4.5 star ⭐️. Forgot to take pics again :( next time for sure!!“

“In my school years I love the yam fries with chipotle from Felicitas and UClub. Menu selection for the latter venue seems static across the years hence when informed that there’s something new, I dashed to the phone to make a reservation.The experience this Wednesday at lunch in the main dinning room didn’t disappoint. In fact a delighted time. Special menu item chicken breast covered in tarragon sauce with mashed potato, mushrooms, and veggies on the side is one Ill recommend to others if I ever see it available again.I think members are smart to utilize this versatile facility. This place could be for business meetings or discussions, social events, or as own reading lounge. The only tricky aspect about dinning here is staffing.“

“Probably the cheapest food that's actually good you can get anywhere in Vic. Huge shout out to Nick who I've had a few times. Guy isn't afraid to ask for clarification if he gets something wrong and is apologetic if he's busy. Please give him raise. Also had the guts to wear a white t shirt as a server.Music in Fel's is a little too loud. I always sit as far away from the speakers as I can and still find myself getting a bit overstimulated after a couple hours. Also feel like at times servers are stretched too thin with how many people/tables they have to manage which can make service take a while. Please Fel's just give me the pitcher of water from the get go I promise I can drink it all myself.Also the flourless brownie is a steal and you're doing a disservice to yourself if you don't get it.“

“Great little pub, Some coworkers and I popped in for a refreshment after work. The decore is outstanding, there are lots of antiques. I was intrigued by an old telephone booth and some old school phones.There is a semi private room and some outdoor seating available, plenty of tables inside.The service was great and the menu looks good but we didn't stay for a bite. I'd definitely go back next time I'm in the area. I gave the food a and service a 4 even though we didn't order food because the service was excellent and we didn't wait around thirsty.Wheelchair accessibility: Pretty easily navigated.“

“I’ve been pretty lucky with both food and staff each time I’ve gone. Food seems to depend on item, some seam a bit over priced for the amount of food you get, but it all tastes wonderful.The staff is friendly, but it can be slow when busy, not their fault.The atmosphere is lovely, but can be a bit loud at times. It is a pub and popular spot.“
