24 Best Pubs in Winnipeg

“The Best End's first gastro-pub? Local taps, local music, great food even better people. Just go.“

“Had such a wonderful meal here recently. The atmosphere is cozy and perfect for catching up with friends.

We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and everything was delicious. The mac and cheese topped with fresh green onions was a standout. We also really enjoyed the hearty sandwiches served with a side of crispy chips.

It is always a pleasure to find a spot that balances great food with such a relaxed, welcoming vibe. We will definitely be back.“

“**** EDIT : 11/10 to the management team for handling this with such professionalism and care, it means the world. They fixed this, took it seriously and went above and beyond which matters the MOST. *****

We’ve been here many times, and when Kyra is working, the service is excellent. She’s attentive, professional, and genuinely takes care of customers. Unfortunately, this experience was the complete opposite. We waited roughly 30 minutes just to order drinks, then another 40 minutes waiting for our bill. During that time, the bartender spent a significant amount of time away from the bar socializing, instead of assisting customers. It got so difficult to even find someone to settle our bill that I had to walk through the kitchen and into the adjoining business just to find someone who could help. That’s not only unacceptable service, it’s a safety concern. Even after another manager stepped in from the hotel (he didn’t even work here and graciously helped) and spoke with the bartender, There was no apology, no acknowledgment of the excessive wait, and no attempt to make things right. One good employee (Kyra) shouldn’t be the only reason customers receive good service. This visit completely missed the mark. When you have a bar full of thirsty or hungry customers, your bartender should assist your customers or at the least pay basic attention instead of ignoring your customers waving and trying to get your attention while chatting every woman up while sitting at their table/ seats and joining their booth.“

“Visited for the first time and was very impressed. Our server was a delight, the wait for food wasn't long at all and all 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I had the chicken pot pie and it was divine. Friend had the fish and chips and gave it 2 thumbs up! The atmosphere is very laid back with a mix of traditional and modern. Pricier but the food and the vibes make it so worth it. The ONLY issue - I am a wheelchair user and it was extremely difficult getting in and out of the restaurant. Also the tables are definitely not designed to have a wheelchair under it. 9/10 will visit again!“

“Great fast service - i’ll be back“

“Everything was good, great place to watch the game. Server was present but not attentive and when asking for things that we did not have, like napkins while they got them, it just had this underlining tone that we were inconveniencing them. Service was not bad tho, but would have had a better experience if the server was more friendly.“

“VLTS. 1 pool table. Occasionally an event or band. Karaoke on the weekends I believe. I've never ordered food here. Don't know if they even have a kitchen to cook in. There's a shuffle board in the back past the washrooms. Quaint lil place to grab a beer. Support your local Legion.“

“The entire experience was amazing and so fun!“

“Tried dinner tonight at the Toad and food was amazing. We had the chicken club and the TBH burger. Highly recommend! 5 Star!!!“

“Terrific place as advertised it's 5 stars. Here's my game room review.

“Always a blast at Shannon’s! There’s always something to do there! The staff are always kind and welcoming and as a woman, I feel safe and protected at Shannon’s. No doubt it can get stupid busy as it is located close to the RBC and Canada Life centre, but the staff are always on the ball and get shit done no matter the foot traffic. If you like a bar that feels like a proper dive bar with a hell of a lot of Jameson; Shannon’s is the place to go! Bonus points for Kareoke and Trivia nights!“

“Best ribs in Winnipeg. Be sure to try their monthly burger specials. If you like lamb, be sure to try specials featuring lamb. Oh, and their fries are so good too!“

“One of my favorite downtown spots! Must try the chicken pot pie and the service is amazing!“

“Lovely place… Clean, Super Friendly Staff, Fast & Easy Service.
Group of 8 went here between the hours of 8-10P.M. 100% would recommend for people looking to have fun.

Willing to refill iced tea & water which was super nice of them… also got the shot glasses (when we forgot to take them back, so thank you)

Drinks were at an average price… you’re looking between $6-12 per drink unless you want some FANCY STUFF. Then that will run your wallet but drinks were delicious.

Food was also sooooo good, 10/10 on that. Cooked to perfection - cool enough to eat too.

Location - 1855 Pemina HWY
Would Recommend for people looking to have a fun time!!“

“Great pub !“

“I ordered the pasta fettuccine ai something sorry I can't remember, it tastes amazing, the pasta is done well along with the sauce. The breads sticks are good, and the service is amazing. The atmosphere is very calm. The staff was very calm and patient, along with the staff being so kind. This is my first time here and I'll definitely be coming back! 10/10“

“Daneige made me enjoy my first time at Osborne despite my food experience.
She was so cheerful, helpful and understanding that we came back the same night to enjoy the Osborne and understand why it's one of the best spots to discover in Winnipeg.“

“We stayed Monday Aug. 24. We were a group of four, here for medical appointment. We had a wonderful time! Harry ( the bartender )is warm, personable, smart and witty! Excellent at his job! The room was clean, everything we needed. Breakfast was perfect, reasonable prices. Parking was so easy, and lots of it. We will definitely tell people to come here, and we will be back.“

“5 Stars, awesome pub, love this place!“

“We are new to a gluten free diet (not by choice) and Natalie our server last night was very helpful with selecting gluten free choices. The food was amazing and everyone took extra steps to ensure the gluten free food didn’t come into contact with our other meals. Thanks for making our first gluten free dining experience so enjoyable!!“

“great food“

“Always a pleasant experience at Brown's Social House. Staff are super friendly and attentive. Food is very tasty. Generally we go late afternoon but tonight we arrived after 5:30 and experienced a warm atmosphere. Highly recommended.“

“Garbonzo’s Sports Pub HSC is very well located inside the Canad Inns hotel, with direct connection to HSC and the University of Manitoba. They offer both dine-in service at the restaurant tables and take-out options, which is super convenient if you’re nearby for work, studies, or appointments.

We ordered pizza and they were delicious, especially the sausage and the veggie versions. The restaurant itself is spacious, with a wide variety of food options on the menu, and the service was friendly and efficient.

I totally recommend it if you’re in the area! It’s a great spot to grab something tasty and enjoy a relaxed meal.“

“I've never once had an issue here, great place. Gotta ding them on their meh chicken strips I got the other night. The breading was hard and the chicken was dry, I've had jerky less dry than those chicken strips. Which I'd normally chalk it up to a busy night if I hadn't gotten it for my 6 year old (we were staying in the attatched Canad Inn).“
