Still have yet to eat here, but it's been a spot my son and I go to play darts and have a couple drinks. The staff are always super nice, as are the patrons for that matter. Welcoming atmosphere with a few sitting areas so you can tuck yourself away if you want, or sit at the bar or and surrounding tables. I dare say it's becoming a bit of a regular spot.

Came by last night for trivia with my wife and was not expecting to walk out... The bartender shows no knowledge of drinks or even how to bartend, and when it came to a guy at the end of the bar clearly showing signs of intoxication, it took a customer speaking up doing the right thing for the bartender then to make herself look good and pipe up finally.. He made my wife feel extremely uncomfortable continuously repeating I love you and you're so beautiful to her, after multiple complaints and nothing being done we decided to leave. Saddest part is we got recommended this place from a good friend, when we told him about this experience he was also disappointed by the lack of effort we said was done to make customers feel welcomed and comfortable.. The bartender that he praised for great service, that he said worked on Wednesday nights there, was no longer there, main reason why we went by.. So hard to find good employees now a days, especially bartenders... I don't know the young ladies name but If shes being raved about this much, I don't understand why this place would get rid of her. May try again in the future, but definitely not when Melissa is working.....

Best Guinness I’ve had in Hamilton

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,
