Daven the new bouncer is terrible at his job, he was flirting with me after I continuously said no, he needs to be let to
Must stop if you are in town
Great pub. Good selection and great service
There is no food at this place. Kitchen closed a couple of years ago. Great place otherwise.
Great local bar.
Signs and ads for this place say they serve food. They don’t. And it smells horribly of urine. Probably the reason they can’t serve food honestly. TLDR; no food and smells like piss
It's a ok pub
Always a great place for a drink. A shame they no longer serve food
Terrible experience marked by racism and xenophobia from the staff. First, I tried to enter the pub with my girlfriend, but the hostess refused to let us in, claiming we needed two forms of identification each. We showed her our IDs and a credit card each, but according to her, one of the cards wasn't acceptable as verification, even though the name and surname were clearly legible. She admitted it was readable but still raised her voice and didn’t allow us to respond, insisting the name had to be "perfect" and that a slightly worn card wasn’t enough. What made this even more frustrating was that the hostess was not asking Canadian citizens for two forms of identification, only foreigners like us, who are Latinos. We also noticed that she refused entry to an Indian couple for the same reason, yet Canadians were not subjected to such scrutiny. Aggressively, the bartender approached us after I explained the situation, and he sided with the hostess, telling us we had to leave. We went back to our home to get an additional ID and returned. The hostess then told us we would have to wait 30 minutes for a table. When I asked if we could sit at the bar, she said yes, but she didn’t offer that option initially. At the bar, her friend, the bartender, kept staring at us with hatred. He would come near us, slam the counter, or shout into the air as if trying to bother us. We stayed at the bar for about two hours. At one point, I went to the restroom, and when I returned, the bartender sarcastically handed us the bill with a cheerful "How’s it going, guys?" We thought it was standard, despite having just ordered another beer. We paid (without leaving a tip), but then a woman claiming to be the manager approached us and told us we had to leave. When I asked why, she said I had pushed the hostess when I went to the restroom, which never happened. She claimed the bartender, who had just handed us the bill politely moments earlier (clearly angling for a tip), had seen it happen. I confronted him, saying that was impossible, and he went crazy, shouting while the "manager" just stood there watching. My girlfriend called him a racist, and he almost proudly replied, "And what about it?" We left after another customer recommended we avoid trouble with those people. Now I understand why. If you're a foreigner or not racist, don’t come to this place. Canadians are known for being inclusive, but this establishment does not represent that spirit at all.
I recommend the donair pizza.

Great place for food and drinks. Friendly staff and lots of TV to watch sports.
Friendly staff, tasty and fresh food. Looking forward to taking in one of there nightly events.
Visiting Victoria to take care of my elderly Dad who is in the hospital. De-stressing and going for lunch in between visits. I have visited the Pub 3x and the food has been delicious and fresh, the service great and the servers have been kind enough to lend an ear about my Dad in the hospital. Looking forward to a Trivia, Bingo or live music Night if my daily visits to the hospital don't drain me. Thank you for your kindness.
