About The Loft Pub

The Loft Pub is a cozy restaurant located on a secluded street, offering a warm and friendly atmosphere with a lively vibe. It provides a perfect setting for various occasions, from intimate gatherings to lively evenings with live music seven days a week, featuring lots of blues and classic rock. The menu is diverse, catering to different dietary needs, including vegetarian options and gluten-free dishes. The food is delicious and serves over 11 vegetable choices, making it an ideal spot for vegetarians. Visitors often enjoy the tasty, sensible portions paired with reasonably priced drinks, and appreciate the little touches like water glasses being topped up constantly.

The pub also has a smoking patio and game facilities, such as darts, adding to its lively ambiance. The atmosphere is fun and homey, attracting an older crowd that enjoys having a good time. The live music is a major attraction, with talented musicians mixing original songs with crowd-pleasing favorites that keep the dance floor packed all night. Recent performances, like those by the Graham Francis Band, have been energetic and impressive. The staff are attentive and friendly, making sure everyone has a great experience.

Though the bar is not wheelchair accessible, there is ample parking around. Once inside, it can get very warm, and some areas, like the space in the back, could use more seating and feel a bit dusty. Visitors should note that talking with the band playing is difficult, and some may find the food a bit overpriced and salty, especially the poutine. Despite these points, the lively environment, great live music, and welcoming crowd make The Loft Pub a popular choice for memorable dining and entertainment. With open mic jam nights on Wednesdays and Sundays, it’s also a fantastic spot for musicians and those looking to meet new people.
