One of our favourite pubs in Kingston. Excellent pint of Guinness and uber friendly bar staff.

We entered a little by chance, and we were not disappointed. It was cold, needed a break, we went through the doors. We were very well received, the waiter made the effort to speak French with us, which made us very happy. The atmosphere is cool and relaxed, the local beer is good... I'm much less cold!
Thanks to the Toucan Irish Pub.

I visited this bar last night with a friend, and unfortunately, our experience was far from pleasant. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a blonde woman (who we later found out was a manager) in a way that felt cold and unwelcoming. After seeing us exit my car, her first question to my friend was: "Do you intend to drink and drive?" She then asked me the same. I responded that I'm planning to have a single glass of beer.
Once inside, we noticed that she was talking to all the staff around us where we sat, pointing at us, which made us feel uncomfortable and singled out for reasons we didn’t understand. When we tried to order a pitcher of beer, the bartender informed us that we weren’t allowed to order it, and that the manager had set limits on what both of us could drink, which is one glass of beer each.
While I don't blame the bartender, as he was simply following instructions, the entire situation felt insulting to my intelligence and disrespectful. My friend and I couldn't help but feel discriminated against. Even if the manager had concerns about drinking and driving, her actions were heavy-handed and illogical. She didn't take into account that one of us would not be driving OR that we could leave the car overnight OR we could arrange with someone else for bringing the car back home or whatever other scenario as adults who can handle such situations (I'm 45 actually).
Her approach felt more like an assumption of irresponsibility rather than reasonable management, and it left us feeling insulted. The situation could have been handled with more professionalism, and I believe an apology is in order.

Stopped by for beer and wings at happy hour. Great local IPA! Ask for more napkins if you're having wings. Yummy, but messy.

31 august 24. We arrived a group of 5 including 2 kids of 8 and 11 ( nothing crazy....) we called before to make sure the chidren were aloud and they said yes until 11pm we showed up at 9h and the women there received us with the worst attitude i ever experienced and she also said kids are alound until 10h not 11h. ( clearly she didn't want to serve us ) We asked to be outside only 2 table was taken and she said there was no room for us. I was waiting my husband outside and when she showed up outside she was rolling her eyes like she was pist off.
We just left. They lost good customer its sad. We went there in the past and was a very good experience but with this one now we will never go back there and we tell other people to dont waist their time to go there.
