Best Guinness I’ve had in Hamilton

Wade Alexander

It isn’t a high-class place, but it doesn’t pretend to be one either. You can come here, have a few drinks, get good service and food, and go home happy.

This joint might be cool for live music, but on Saturdays between 12:30-1:00 PM, it's deader than a graveyard after a zombie apocalypse. Aside from a few senior citizens sipping beer at the counter, the vibe is ridiculously chill - I'm talking coma-inducing, snore-fest, wake-me-up-when-it's-over kind of chill. I swung by for lunch, got a menu, and waited a whopping 10 minutes to order a drink while seated at a table, which is just enough time to contemplate the meaning of life. The waitress seemed a bit out of it - I'm pretty sure she was having an out-of-body experience, or maybe she was just bored out of her mind. I ordered chicken fingers and fries, but the weird smell in the place killed my appetite faster than a bad pun at a comedy club. I ate half my meal and then paid 25 bucks and change, which is just enough to make me question my life choices. Yeah, I won't be back, unless I'm looking for a cure for insomnia, in which case, Hamilton's just my jam.

The food and service was good. Live music Friday's. One thing I have an issue with is that I called the day before I was going and asked if they had a handicap accessible bathroom and was told they did. This is not true and I don't know why I was told a lie.

A great pub for after work pints and food.
Great spot close to the GO Hamilton stop downtown. If you need to wait for a train or having a nice date night after a long train ride, perfect spot. They have live band evenings and events that you can attend, a good patio as well. Parking isn’t too far if you can’t find street parking. Food is good, quick service and the usual pub grub. The staff are very friendly and the patrons seemed very welcoming,

Well, if you love Rock n Roll, there will be some every Friday afternoon 11:30-3:00 you get a chance to see, hear, even ‘shake hands ‘ with stars like ‘Dave Rave’ (80s glam band Teenage Head and lead singer of (The Shakers — go listen on Apple Music) be part of the audience during ‘ Shake It Up’ series of interviews. Chris , owner and chef knows his Fish n Chips, best I ever had .

We threw my mom a 60th birthday party here and it was perfect! The staff were amazing the food was great. The party room is great for hosting parties. They are very family oriented and let our almost two year old run freely. Great place to go! We will be back!
