6 Best Gastropubs near Victoria

“Wow I didn't even know this place existed and I'm so disappointed. What a great spot tucked away in the downtown core. The patio is amazing and the food and drink menus are a great mix of old school with modern twists. Perfectly executed. Can't wait to go back!“

“Best Location in the Hub of Victoria with the Best Staff to Match: I’m a local resident who favours 10 Acres Commons. This downtown eatery at the hub of Victoria sits across from the Empress Hotel with a patio on all the action. Managers and bartenders Alex & Roy make you feel like every time is your first time with excellent service and friendly smiles. The owners aptly promise: “Our locally based menu featuring sustainable seafood and organic produce from our farm, exuberant steamer bowls, generous sharing platters, creative cocktails and local craft beer on tap are just some of the reasons to come by and hangout.”“

“A really nice atmosphere at a really nice location, the service was decent but seemed to be all over the place with a kitchen very backed up at a very slow time of night which I found odd. I also thought that the menus were a little strange with certain promotional meals and options only available on certain days, yet still being advertised as attached to the main menu on a day it wasn't available. I did enjoy the fact that I could book ahead, and I liked the confirmation of my booking as it was prompt. I'd like to come here again.“

“Had a great experience last night when we went here for dinner and drinks and music bingo last night with my partner’s work friends. Firstly, a massive shout out to our extremely hard-working and diligent server with the cool feathery earrings. Really top notch service, particularly on such a busy night. Thank you for letting me sample the bitter! I will definitely come back. Secondly, just need to tell your chef that the vegetarian lasagna was absolutely incredible and the best I’ve ever had. Really perfectly seasoned and huge flavour profile. Loved this experience.“

“Upscale vibe. Nice view of the harbor. Would like to see a few more BC wines by the glass or local ciders. Fish and chips were hearty and delicious. Would go again. Eight minutes drive from Buchart gardens, which had no viable food and drinks options.“
