“Chanced upon this lovely late night gem on a cold cold night. Oden tang was great - wonderful broth and thick with fish cake and vegetables. Pork and kimchee stew could have used a bit more pork, but it was also good. Kimchee udon was a bit disappointing but still OK. The volcano chicken was a hit - more spicy than sweet, but really well balanced.Extra props for our service that night, our waitress was gracious and attentive.Will definitely be back to check out the rest of the menu.“
“Overall it was good.We had steak sandwiches which were basically slices of steak on a piece of toasted garlic bread. The food's quality was good but the portion was a bit small. The interior design was cool. The cutlery was a bit worn out which wasn't pleasant .“
“Artemis' speciality may be whisky/whiskey but they also make and serve fantastic cocktails! Whiskey tasting is not intimidating at Artemis. The owner, Patel, will share his love for, and incredible knowledge of, whiskey with you and probably pour you a few tasters so you can decide what you like. There is a wide price range so something for every budget. The atmosphere is chic, cool, hip, and a great place to really savour and enjoy a fine drink or great cocktail. Highly recommend!“
“I'm kind of a regular here and I'm not sure if I've posted a couple times here already.I've had a number of different things on the menu but I mostly come here for the single piece fish and chips. They make it for me with light batter and extra crispy.“
“Terrific Happy Hour.Looking forward to the patio.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free Pizza 7\10Which is a pretty high score given the general state of the item in the city. 5th St. GF pizza is abv. avg. but there's still plenty of room for improvement.“
“This place has yummy beer, good food, and a fun atmosphere. Feels like you’re stepping back in time. The service was very friendly and they were so nice to our kids. The perfect place to bring the whole family.Wheelchair accessibility: They had ramps where the stairs were at the entrance.“
“Drake’s offers a cozy ambiance perfect for unwinding after a long day. With a focus on local brews, it's a haven for beer enthusiasts.The laid-back atmosphere encourages friendly conversations, making it an ideal spot to catch up with friends or simply enjoy a quiet night out.This hidden gem promises a memorable experience worth revisiting.“
“Had a great few rounds of beers at Darcy’s the other night, energetic atmosphere with the live music from a great band playing absolute bops. (The only note was the unfortunate single poured Guinness pints) but aside from that, a great selection of taps and a fun “
“Cozy, tucked away spot! I had the Quebecer Poutine and a nonalcoholic Heinekin. The food was fine, not amazing but pretty good. The service however was excellent. The servers were attentive and kind to our group of friends who hadn’t seen each other in a while: they definitely brought out the best of the Rose.“
“I always force my friends to go to Bart’s when we want to chat over drinks! Servers are so wonderful and well informed, often taking the time to chat with our group about the new beers on tap etc. Trivia and music bingo nights are fun too. Lots of nice corner booths if you’d prefer a quieter atmosphere.Only negative is the food and cocktails can be pricey but it’s nothing extreme for a Victoria pub.“
“Probably the biggest draft beer selection in town, plus any kind of whiskey you can think of, mixologist is top notch. Not a lot on the food menu but enough to get you by for sure. Was in on a Sunday afternoon and wasn't terribly busy. Food was delicious. Cheeseburger has a charbroiled taste to it.“
“The Bent Mast had delicious pub food when we visited, which includes a variety of burgers, sandwiches, seafood dishes, and other comfort foods. The menu often features locally sourced ingredients and seasonal specials but we decided to make it our go to place for breakfast as it was near our hotel but more overly, the breakfast food was fantastic and the ecelctic service made it a place where you could happilly sit outside, watch the world go by and await your order.In addition to its food offerings, The Bent Mast has a selection of craft beers on tap, as well as a diverse wine list and cocktail menu. It's a popular spot for locals and visitors alike to enjoy good food, drinks, and conversation in a welcoming environment.The name "Bent Mast" reflects its maritime theme, as a bent mast is a nautical term referring to a mast that has been damaged or bent due to harsh weather conditions or other factors. This name pays homage to Victoria's rich maritime history and reflects the pub's unique character and ambiance.“
“Do your best to sit by the wood burning stove in the back and you’ll want to stay for hours. What was supposed to be a quick beer with a friend turned into a few beers over several hours and I loved every second of it. I had ordered the Lighthouse vanilla stout and on my first sip I knew something was off - it was super fruity - and called my server over to see if I got the right beer. It was an issue with the line and she quickly replaced it with a different beer without making me feel bad about it. Service was top notch, beer selection wonderful and atmosphere cozy af.“
“We had the nacho starter, which was way bigger than we thought it would be in a good way! It was delicious??❤️? next we had 2 rice bowls. I didn’t like the taste of the broccoli the chicken and fries were great though! The Cab-sav was delicious. Our waitress was the best! She was friendly, knowledge and efficient! Would definitely eat here again!“
“The vibe of this place is great, all the furniture and decor looks tasteful. Me and my girlfriend came here at 9:30PM on Monday evening and it was very quiet (maybe around 3 other tables when we walked in). The waiter was very patient and was very nice, didn’t mind us taking more time on the menu and asking question after question. The food was mediocre, the sticky Thai chicken on the happy hour menu was great, the crispy cauliflower is a must get everytime for us, and the Szechuan beef bowl was disappointing with watered down sauce and not a lot of taste. The Bellini is ohhhh so good, the sweet peachy flavour can make me drink buckets of this stuff and not feel the alcohol. Overall, great vibes, decent prices, but maybe avoid the Szechuan Beef Bowl.“
“Browns social house! Don’t let the $11 corona throw you off, the prices are reasonable and the atmosphere is electric. The staff are professional and friendly and the clientele is elite. Make sure to try out the frozen Bellini and don’t be afraid if Dan comes to your table and starts harassing you, he’s harmless. Overall, I’d definitely go back as soon as possible! But again, $11 for a corona?“
“We went for breakfast here. A great alternative to a noisy diner... and that view!Parking: Free parking in the underground car park if you're coming for a meal. Just pull up to the front doors and the Valet will provide you with a fob for entry.“
“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“Popped in on karaoke night, and had a great time. The participants were amazing, and great entertainment. I just had a drink, but service was friendly and prompt. It was obviously noisy, so don't go on Saturday if you want to chat, but for the price of a beer, we had a rocking good time in Langford@“
“OMG sooooo good and huge portions! The only thing we didn’t like was the kimchi, the spice and sour took over and it wasn’t enjoyable. But everything else was great! We got two 1/2 orders of chicken, enough food for like 3 days. Corn cheese, kimchi + udon. Not sure if this is tied to the Chimac in Seattle, WA but it is far better than the Seattle one! Will definitely come back if we’re in town ever again.“
“Our go to when in Langford. Relaxed atmosphere. Keno and poker screens. Big tables, good food, and friendly staff. They don’t mind if you linger so a great spot for a break! Food portions are large so easily shareable.Kid-friendliness: There is a separate room to accommodate families with children.Wheelchair accessibility: Free parking.“

“Maude Hunter's is the closest thing you will get to being at your auntie's or grandmother's house except they also have a full bar in their house and they cook you delicious food and for some reason they are fully staffed with kind and friendly people going out of their way to make sure you are well tended to and when you have a conversation with them about why they are all gathered together working inside your grandmother's home they remind you that you are actually at Maude Hunter's Pub and you realize that wow this is a really great and special place“
“We had a really nice server. My son and I had fish and chips. We ordered the two piece meal. I reasoned that sometimes you get a puny piece and go hungry if you just get a single piece. Oy! Big pieces of fish. Fantastic chips. Two happy guys. The VI Pil was on special so it couldn't have been better.“
“Our celebration at The Loft Pub was truly a night to remember. Nestled in its cozy ambiance, we, along with close friends and family, reveled in a memorable evening marking my husband's milestone birthday. From the warm decor to the friendly staff, everything was just perfect.The menu, a delightful assortment of expertly prepared dishes, catered to our every craving. And to make the evening even more special, we had the privilege of indulging in a feast from the owner's catering business, "Connoisseur Catering," which included mouthwatering steak, creamy alfredo tortellini, and crisp snow peas.Adding a dash of variety, my husband insisted on including a Caesar salad and the irresistible yam fries from the pub fare. The staff's impeccable service ensured that every detail was taken care of.What elevated the night to a whole new level was the live music by Hearts & Roses, who played classic rock that had us dancing all night long. It was the perfect soundtrack to an unforgettable celebration.As we raised our glasses to toast my husband, we couldn't have asked for a better place than The Loft Pub. It's a venue where cherished memories are made, and we eagerly look forward to returning for more extraordinary moments in the future.Vegetarian options: Over 11 vegetable choices.Dietary restrictions: Gluten-Free“
“Great place! We went for a late night meal and they have a late night happy hour . I got the fish tacos and they were great! My hubby and daughter got the sliders and loaded fries. Fries were not the best. They were very soft and limp. We like crispy fries. Don't order them if you like crispy fries. Staff was very nice and since we were in a time crunch the waitress helped and got us the check quickly. I would come here again.“
“To me the Penny Farthing is more than a place to eat and drink, it's an experience. It's extremely popular which adds to the ambiance. We stop there at least once every time we're in Victoria. I like the turkey pot pie and my wife likes the Buddha bowl. Today she had chicken tikka Marsala and liked it a lot. The clam chowder was outstanding. My meatloaf was, to me, a little unusual. It was firm and dry. I asked for more gravy and that helped a little. Our server, Janice, was a delight.“
“They have an outdoor courtyard style seating area, which was lovely. The weather that day was perfect for being outdoors.Our waitress was very attentive to all our needs and was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks they provide.Our food was hot and fresh and quite tasty. The Katsu chicken sandwich on sourdough was delicious and I also really enjoyed the garden salad.My friend had the Smith burger which was on feature. He said it was excellent, and the french fries were cooked to perfection imo prepared golden with just the right about of salt.We had a few fancy cocktails with one large circular ice sphere, again our waitress was very knowledgeable of what was in the drinks, and they were excellent. I would certainly recommend this place to others.Parking: There is plenty of street parking and conveniently there’s an underground Parkade right next door.“
“This place never fails to satisfy. They have a huge selection of great craft beers on tap. The food is great quality, well made, and the portions are more than enough. Prices are reasonable and the service is fast and friendly.Good job, staff and managers of Christie's!“
“Was here the last night, and Faye was our server.. I was so caught up with friends that I forgot to take picturesThis place has been around for as long as I can remember, at least 30+ years if I'm correct.Such a cute little /big place, full of character inside and out. Staff is overly friendly ( if ever there is such a thing). Faye was so attentive to us all, came at the right times to check in on us, and felt very well taken care of so much, so I forgot to take pictures.A must visit, menu is plentiful to choose from, many gluten-free items (if that's your thing).Well kept and beautiful inside and outThank you, Faye you made our night extra special ✌?!Rose is happy ❤️March 20“
“We stayed at the hotel next door, so we spent some time here. The service at the front desk was terrible. We had never been here before, and knew there were multiple bars, but didn't know where they were in relation to the door we were at. We tried to ask the guy up front, but he acted extremely annoyed, and gave us the least bit of info he possibly could have. We ended up in the sports bar, and service didn't get much better. The food and drinks were decent. Was a fun place to hang out though, and very convenient to our hotel. Would probably only be back for late night drinks and snacks“
“Top-notch service & inviting atmosphere! Swans took great care to accommodate my group at short-notice, and the staff were diligent in ensuring we had the best time. Having an inhouse gluten-free beer on tap was a much appreciated touch! Will be back for our next gathering :)“
