Maddie was an absolutely amazing server, very attentive and ensured we had a fully informed dining experience re: specials and kitchen closing time. Super friendly as well. Recommended a đŸ”„đŸ”„đŸ”„ dish (thai peanut bowl) that I would have never chosen for myself!

Great option in Victoria for a later dinner, just wish we didn’t miss trivia which runs on Tuesday evenings!

We came here twice during our stay at the doubletree. TLDR; Good pub, not so good restaurant.

The first was for drinks. That was great. The beer and whiskey was good, and the bartenders fast and friendly. I tried the Buskers triple barrel. They had to find and open the bottle... and it was a move smooth sipping whisky.

We had lunch the next day here. That was not so good. The Barts burger was very average. The soup of the day - minestrone - was not typical but was flavored nicely. The fish and chips were bland but crispy. My wife ordered a side of gravy - DO NOT DO THIS. The gravy had a weird flavor, and we were charged $4 for a little bowl. It wasn't a very satisfying meal for $56 between the two of us. The service was also a bit slow.

We waited forever at the door (with no line), took 10 minutes to get a drink (where he grabbed our food order in the same visit), and then didn’t see the server again until I asked for the bill. The pizza we ordered to share was nothing short of a DISAPPOINTMENT. The “crust” of the pizza was a walmart garlic crust, with the thinnest layer of pizza sauce, and a pittance of cheese (IT WAS A CHEESE PIZZA). It tasted like cardboard soaked in sugar water. They also charged me $2.00 for a tablespoon dollop of western family bottled quality ranch. The server did not tell me the ranch was an extra charge, because if he did I would have not got it. We were excited to check out a local spot but we will never ever go back. Shame this business is in such a beautiful building.

We had a lovely GLUTEN FREE fish and chips that was crispy (dedicated fryer) and a tasty spinach dip with corn chips. This is a great cozy pub, with pleasant service. It was quiet on a holiday lunch when we were there but I’m sure on. Weekday evening with special events it’s a happening place.

Ate outside and had the Yorkshire pudding and sticky toffee for desert. Perfect. Just like home cooking. Best meal I had in Victoria.

The food is disgusting, fish and chips was average (fish good but breading was over fried and bitter)

Its just store bought margherita pizza, very oily
Literally like cheesy garlic bread

Service was good and server was very nice. Worst hamburger I've ever had... a hamburger should not be dry and crispy! I was told they have to cook it to that temperature (aka burnt). Won't be a repeat visit.

It’s exactly what you’d expect, a couple dollars more than it should be for food but the drinks are priced well and taste better

Came here because of location and lots of gluten-free options. The atmosphere is super cool and the two servers we spoke to were kind and friendly. The gf calamari and wings were okay and didn’t taste very fresh - could have been an off day. The burger was exactly what you’d expect for a pub burger and cripsy coated fries. Still a great place to go to for a beer and apps.

They don’t really pour ‘em stiff like they do in America, but they’re super friendly AND you can smoke inside while you drink!
