“great beer and food! definitely recommend !“

“Stopped for a quick lunch today ( hubbys was liquid 🤣🤣) Food was amazing !! Our server was both pleasant and efficient serving both the bar and the tables and doing an amazing job. Owner is a great fella too. ❤️❤️“

“Ok so this place its dark and dingy but really if you looking to let loose and be yourself while indulging a little more then usual then this is a good place to go the jukebox is a bonus maybe a little high priced at 2$ a song but we made it work the staff where friendly let us have a tab (thankful for that with the amount of shot we did) I will visit again ehen i come out to visit!“

“If you're looking for a place with all of the above, Twenty is it. I decided to treat myself to dinner solo, do a little writing and reflecting and it was the perfect evening! I sat by the window and ordered the scallops, two amazing gin cocktails, and this gorgeous mousse dessert that tasted like the best strawberry cheesecake ever! Can't wait to go back :)“

“Amazing atmosphere and fantastic pizza! Love this place and will be back :)“

“Regrettably I've only had one drink here since it was called Mikados but it was a good experience. Friendly staff, friendly patrons and what a unique blend of music between front and back, especially late at night.

Love you guys and your random Nine Inch Nails and Bloodhound Gang selections when I'm getting out of my car in the big parking lot :)

(+1 personal bias: Has selection of 0-alcohol beer!)“

“Great wings & pizza at this spot, but everything I've had from their kitchen has been tasty. They have 40 different flavors of chicken wings & 40 different flavors of pizza. What I love is they automatically bring you blue cheese with carrots & celery when you order wings, unlike many places nowadays... Fave Wings: plain with salt & pepper! Fave Pizza: The C-B-R pizza - pizza sauce, mozzarella, chicken, bacon, ranch, tomatoes & mushrooms. The staff is friendly, and it's usually a fun, local atmosphere. Bands often come in on the weekends, and you can be sure that "the big game" will be on their big screen TV.“

“Great food, great service!“

“The Lazy Lizard was hopping last night- we enjoyed delicious food (the broasted chicken is my absolute favourite!) Service started out as a 2/10 from 3 servers, when we were seated I asked for a drink menu and was told they didn’t have one (when we were there 2 weeks ago and our server provided us with one). My fiancé spotted our server from 2 weeks ago (Andy) and went over and asked her for a drink menu; in which she reached above her head and gave him one. The server (our original server that started with us tonight) that told me they didn’t have a drink menu never looked in our direction for the rest of the night. She continued to deal with tables around us, but ignored us, and continued to talk with the other servers working & spent 10 minutes standing at a table talking to what we presumed to be friends. Not only was Andy serving the patio, she was also taking care of us and multiple other tables inside. She got our food order, drink orders etc. I went as far as to ask her if they split tips or keep them, and disappointingly she said they split them. We would have tipped Andy heavily if she was alone/getting the tip herself, but was modest in tipping because the 3 other servers would have got it as well. Andy is attentive, friendly, and a 10/10. She really cares about the service you receive!“

“I was so impressed by the way the waitress/bartender received us patrons and made sure we were always completely satisfied.The chicken wings were amazing and I will definitely be back to sing and partake in the excellent Saturday karaoke show....wow what a professional sound and nice hosts.Sharky's was a true class act and exceeded my expectations!“

“10/10! We came in with our kids hockey team and Alyssa and Laura took care of our craziness , and they were amazing! Food is delicious (as always), so organized (with a hockey team chaos is an understatement) and Bryson killed it on the bar for all of us!! definitely recommend for a family night out, or a team event!“

“It's a great place to hang out downtown St Catharines. Trivia nights are awesome. They have a special menu for every day of the week.“

“We had a wonderful time! Food was amazing; flavorful, raffined, authentic - checked all of our boxes! The service by Joey was fabulous, so helpful, with insights for our questions, welcoming and on top of it. We got to discover new things, and we will definitely be back for more. Can’t wait to go back with some friends!“

“My boyfriend and I came for a quick lunch, it was awesome and quick. We had their seasonal Nashville chicken bites which were to die for. Dusty was our server and she was awesome. Super friendly and attentive and she even took care of a last minute side switch I did for my main. 10/10 recommend this Kelsey’s!“

“Great place, always have a good time when I go there, and the food is amazing!!“

“My husband and I went out for dinner and it had to of been the most AMAZING food I have ever had and incredible friendly staff. Our server Jordan was so kind and really took his time and explained the menu and everything. 10/10 recommend coming to the st.catherines location!“

“I asked for a glass of water. I dont drink alcohol or soft drinks. So they bring me a glass and a bottle of water. Then billed me $3 for the water. Even after I said I do reviews. Least when my water got spilled they didn't charge me for the second bottle lol.“

“The Kilt and Clover isn’t just another pub — it’s a true cornerstone of historic Port Dalhousie. You feel the great energy the moment you walk in.

The long-term staff speak volumes about the smart ownership and the kind of place this is: well-run, welcoming, and built for the long haul. Patrons don’t just visit — they stick around for a lifetime.

The year-round patio is a huge win, happy hour hits the sweet spot, and Fun Fridays with live music keep the place buzzing without losing its neighbourhood charm.

The menu is well balanced, and the kitchen consistently delivers solid, satisfying pub fare.

⭐ Bottom line: Great people, great energy, great pub. Port Dalhousie wouldn’t be the same without it.“

“We went to The Upper Deck for dinner and were pleasantly surprised! With new ownership there’s a new menu, new ownership, great vibe and late hours! Jacqueline served us she was fantastic, as well as the other staff. Food, well let me say absolutely delicious, we had Korean BBQ tacos, beef dip sliders and jalapeño popper dip. There are great food and drink specials after 8 and now open late! We will be back again and again!👏👍“

“Food is always terrific but tonight I had the most spectacular cream of mushroom soup I’ve ever tasted in my life! And I’m a soup critic! Keep up the good work.“

“Lovely staff! Spacious, clean and something for the whole family!“
