The service and atmosphere was friendly and fun! The food bordered on incredibly bland to just bad. We ordered the zucchini sticks as an app, my table of 5 people did not like them at all, the server took the almost full basket away. My French onion soup was not great either, I didn’t eat it. We wouldn’t go back again.

Classic Brit-Canadian pub. It's much larger than it looks from the outside. Very dark inside but friendly atmosphere. Good pub fare and great pints.

Jacob Rachel and Sam are the best. The absolute most top-tier service love them. The most made my New Year’s Eve unforgettable.

Cute place! I loved the servers :)
a bunch of bouncers on a power trip. not nice humans at all. A group of 4 of us waiting in line for 1.5 hours.. finally got to the front they only let us (2 girls) in without our boyfriends. They said it would be a 15 min wait for them to come in. We waited and then they closed the line because it was “too busy” it wasn’t that busy.. not packed at all. owners loss.. over 100+ people denied and went to another bar to spend money there.
rethink who you hire.

This place sucks. 50 year old bouncers on a power trip. Disgusting flooded bathrooms. Bartenders with half a brain. Prepare for a 1hr plus line unless you slip the bouncer $60 which is why the line is so long… scrimey establishment.

I had a terrible experience at this venue, and I will never return. My friends and I used the coat check, but the staff informed us that there were only two hangers left and insisted we stack our coats, giving us one ticket for five jackets. We complied, but what followed was appalling.
At midnight—two hours before the advertised closing time—the music suddenly stopped, and we were forcibly told to leave. Security was aggressive, loudly demanding coat check tickets and forcing people to wait outside in the cold until their coats were retrieved.
One particular security guard, a bearded white man, was incredibly disrespectful and yelled at my fiancée, refusing to let her explain the situation. His behavior was completely unacceptable, especially toward women. When I explained we were told to share one ticket, we were still met with hostility and gaslighting from the security team, who repeatedly questioned my group for no reason.
This experience ruined my best friend’s birthday, and the unprofessionalism of both the staff and security was beyond frustrating. If this venue can’t treat its patrons with basic respect and maintain their advertised hours, they shouldn’t be in business. Avoid this place at all costs.

Each time I have been here the staff has treated me and my friends like garbage either bodying us out of the way inside without a word, or just shutting down early without any explanation and splitting us up from our friends who have the coat check ticket (they would only give us one for four people) leaving half of us without jackets and our house keys in the dead of winter. I am not from this city and each experience I have had here was absolutely ridiculous and would not stand where I’m from.
