Great beer selection and top-notch service!

Atmosphere is pretty generic and lacking in character otherwise.

Burger and fries were pretty disappointing, not bad but clearly cooked from frozen and again, generic. Serving size was great and the bacon on the burger was awesome, but perhaps I've been spoiled by pubs that make their own patties and fries.

These are things that can be improved, but I likely won't be back to find out.

Karen made me like this bar that I otherwise didn’t like and now I’m a big fan!

Great patio and atmosphere but the food was meh.

The food was awful. I got the bruschetta, which I thought was something one couldn’t mess up. Boy was I wrong. The bread was cold and soggy, the cheese fell off, the tomato’s were barely diced. A pile of lettuce came next to it? Very weird. Drinks were fine. Service was awful, waiter was friendly but I had to ask for the bill several times before he finally got it for me. I waited 35 minutes for the bill. Seems a tad excessive… had to go in and actually find him. Would not recommend going here unless you’re extremely intoxicated and fine with horrible service and food

Excellent service. Ukrainian waitress was very good and attentive. Good sense of humour with the guests I was hosting. Excellent choice of pub for a meeting of colleagues.

Super slow service

Great place to catch all your sporting events, good selection of beers on tap, food is very good, and amazing friendly staff. I highly recommend the Philly steak sandwich. Located in the heart of the Sens “Red Mile” on Elgin St., this place will not disappoint :)

!Don’t throw your money away on this place pls! SCAM! Terrible food experience in this place. The food was disgusting for 6 of us. The chicken was overcooked with stale chicken. the hamburgers were badly burned with very poor quality meat. The pizza had raw vegetables with an unpleasant taste. The service was unhygienic—the waitress cleaned the oily floor and then immediately served us.
Only the main waitress was polit so we left a good tip to her.

Came here to watch the Sens gets swept 🧹 by the Leafs, somehow they managed to scrounge together a few goals and it went to overtime. They eventually won it.

Be warned, if you sit inside for big sports events, it can get VERY WARM and stuffy.

Let me start by saying

…the soft drinks are NOT bottomless
…the coffee is NOT bottomless

This is probably one of the only pubs I’ve been to that doesn’t offer free refills on both of those very important food groups to DDs.

The poutine seemed to have used authentic cheese curds, the fries def were not poutine fries, looked like the same fries as just standard order of fries

The pesto chicken pizza was alright…it was too well done, a lot of the cheese was brunt along with the bread. The chicken pieces didn’t have their own flavour, they relied on the tomato sauce and the pesto way too much…average pub pizza for…$24. But what can ya do

Pub with small portion of food, food quality below average, Shepard pie not much filling, pull pork sandwich too much sour juice.

The atmosphere here is great if you’re looking for a fun pub experience with good, friendly service. I had a pretty ‘blah’ burger: the patty wasn’t home made ( for the sticker price - I’d rather have gone to a fast food outlet), 3 long slivers of onions two small slices of tomato on a bed of lettuce. The bacon and cheddar were decent, but the bun wasn’t great. The fries although nice and crispy were almost tooo crispy- if that’s a thing!. My partner had the smallest beef baguette sandwich I’ve ever seen with very little beef, and opted for a Caesar salad which was plentiful and decent. The selection of beer was great. Too expensive for the very disappointing food .

Very pleasant staff, and best Caesar salad I've had in a restaurant.
