Beer lovers have to check this place out. The list is well curated and the beers seem to be treated/poured/temp'd properly. Lot's of BC craft, plenty that are not the run of the mill offerings you seein most pubs. The room is rad too.

Great spot for drinks and a cozy hang. Nice variety of drinks on tap to choose from (and really good Kombucha on tap!). Food was not worth the price, and I won’t be ordering food again, but definitely a top choice for drinks.

Fantastic selection of craft beers, super friendly staff. Kitchen is very small, and I was not 'wowed' by the food. Would absolutely go back for the atmosphere and beverages!

I decided to stop in at The Drake for a drink and the bartender Dylan went above and beyond. I can't praise Dylan enough for his excellent service. He really took the time to make me feel welcome and find out what drinks I would enjoy most. He introduced me to some excellent beer and gave me lots of insight into the history of craft beer Victoria. Excellent selection of beer and a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highest recommendation!

Fantabulous chicken sandwich served by the Great Dilan! I enjoyed my Last Day Imperial Stout like it was my last day.
Great vibes to get some work done on a chill Wednesday night in November 👌

Stopped in for the first time while on one night vacation from Nanaimo. We took a chance while walking by and it paid off. The kimchi grilled cheese was excellent, the bread was so good. We also had the vegetarian squash tacos and they were yum. We had a side of peppers, I have never seen a simple but delicious dish like this. There is also huge selection of local beers. But the food was the highlight for me, the food is all actually made and not pulled out of a freezer and deep fried. Real food is hard to find, this is real food. This is a must stop in Victoria for amazing food and delicious drinks. We will be back. We ate our food too fast to take pictures of the food.

Y'know, I don't consider myself someone who would order bread and butter but I sure did enjoy their sourdough with Ceasar dressing butter (I know, and it's even better than it sounds). We also got the pretzel with a date and apple cider salami that was also fantastic. The staff was friendly and helpful. The beer selection (the main event, am I right?) was choice. My wife and I each got a flight to share and found many that we really enjoyed. My top pick was the raspberry IPA.

Popped in here for a quick drink and a snack - restaurant was a bit empty but beer was great and the grilled cheese was also quite tasty
Soooo good! Don’t sleep on the soft pretzel with spicy mustard or the RPG sandwich. It was so good we came two days in a row for lunch while visiting.

Fab eatery and bar in the market square independents quarter of Victoria with fab local sourced produce, diverse choice of drinks, and lovely location. Husband strongly recommends the local ales 😜 Staff attentive without being too pushy. And right next door to one of the best vintage shops in Victoria- purchases were made after as well as before lunch 🤣

Great beer in a comfy and friendly atmosphere. The staff are great and the bar is conducive to conversation with a friend you've just met.
