It's a decent pub. Not an amazing beer selection. Burgers are ok.
Always happy with the food here.
Absolutely awesome place! Food is fantastic and the atmosphere is very vibrant!
We went with a group and played musical chairs throughout our visit -- the waitress seemed a bit annoyed with how much we moved about but she was a good sport. Attentive to the point of being slightly annoying.
Although I didn't order them, the $0.99 weekend wings looked good. A few ppl in our party ordered them and I would definitely try them next time. They looked fat and juicy.
The back room had a few screens where you could easily watch games.
Also, this place is so close to the skating rink and feels a bit like an après ski lodge decor-wise. You could definitely warm up here with some wings, fries, and beer or tea/coffee.
Menu is pretty consistent with fried pub fare. The coconut shrimp were tasty, but served in a very no frills way.
They seemed to have a decent beer selection and a few non-alcoholic choices. I ordered a tea and their selection was limited to green, chamomile, and black.
Really good food.
Living close to this place, I've driven past for years and have been wanting to try this pub for the longest time. Based off the positive reviews, we finally made the time to drop by and we were very pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere seems very nice and jovial. The service was extremely fast, as we had our appetizers within 5 minutes of ordering them. The food was very good overall. We ordered the onion soup, poutine, hamburger and chicken stir fry and all the dishes tasted great. The staff were friendly and professional. Highly recommend this place.
service took too long considering the bar was empty.
We live in the area and decided to try this Tavern based on good ratings. Unfortunately, our experience did not match our expectations. When we arrived, the restaurant was half full, however it took close to 5 minutes for one of the waitresses to acknowledge our presence and offer a seat.
Next, we spent about 10 more minutes waiting for someone to give us a menu or take our drink order. At that point we simply decided to leave and have our dinner at another restaurant.
Do not go here if you are not a regular!
It was a great experience. The steak was cooked mid well, and tasted amazing.

RED CARDINAL NEEDS TO FIRE OKSANA, KIRRA AND THE COOK ANDERSON... FOR ALL THE LONG TERM CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE BEEN GOING THERE FOR MANY YEARS !
A very well-run business. I've been a customer for many years. The food is quite good and always fresh. Draft taps are properly maintained - never had a bad beer. Staff are great and the place is always clean. What else can you ask for?

This place is a perfect example of not judging a book by its cover. It may not look appealing, but the food here is very delicious. We have yet to have a meal that we did not enjoy. The portions are great, and price, even better.
