Update your hours. Sketchy location to walk to in an ally only to find it closed at dinnertime on a Saturday.

Atmosphere, fantastic! The outdoors vibe was awesome. With that, thought the small focused menu of burgers and fries would be amazing, but the burger was tiny squish of a sad thing (and we have had amazing smash burgers… this was not one). The cheeseburger had an overload of lettuce and onion (too much veg vs meat)… cheese was undetectable… the fries were under done and under salted. Two super mediocre burgers and two sad poutines plus 2 beers each was a bill of $90. Food is not worth it, just go for drinks.

Really enjoyed eating in the “treetops”. Our waitstaff, Erika, was awesome. She makes the “atmosphere” fun. Great pub food. Highly recommend. Will miss it when it closes for the winter.

This place is by-far my favourite summer time haunt. Nestled into a backyard just off the downtown, this gourmet food-truck patio is an amazing spot to spend some hours in a spacious and friendly environment. Great food, wide selection of beverages for all, amazing staff, and pet friendly!
** Some places claim to be pet friendly, this crew brings dog treats and water bowls before I get to my chair. My dogs feel safe and welcome. They also have a lil dog menu. Great spot. I recommend every time.

Parking: The actual lot is a little small but there is street parking and a very large free lot 1 block over.

Kid-friendliness: This is a family-friendly spot for sure.

Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair can get it but be mindful that the ground is uneven.

How seldom do we get a gem that is affordable, has great service, AND a lovely atmosphere. Almost never. Worth a visit for sure. Casual and a great choice for patio weather.

Worse food ever!! Staff are great and nice atmosphere.
The food had no flavor, had the wonton nachos and smash burgers. The buns were hard & stale, the burger had no flavor even with the sauce etc on it. The nacho cheese also had no flavor. We looked at the reviews before dining there and we don't understand why people gave the place anything more than a 2 star.
Won't dine there again!

A touch of Europe in Stratford. Pub style food in a beer garden atmosphere. Service and food are good.

Great service, super chill ambience, dog friendly and a good collection of local beers. What else do you need after a hot, sunny day?

The music was great, drinks cold and overall atmosphere was great. We will definitely be back.

We did not try any food but whatever we saw delivered to other tables looked delicious.

I was excited to come here as I loved the food and restaurant under previous ownership. I was disappointed, the smash burger was awful. Overcooked and hard. The nachos were bad as well. Atmosphere is great! I recommend if you want to go for a beer. Skip the food.

Liked the deck. Food was ok.
After tip over 60$ for a burger, poutine and a small fry. Plus a small beer and a cooler.
Too pricey won't be back.

Was good food. I asked for fried onions instead of crispy onions on my hot dog. I thought mimosa on the menu was an actual mimosa but it's a mimosa beer. If you aren't big on beer, I recommend the mimosa beer. It was tasty.

Not a good experience, server we had was bad and kept messing up our order or the kitchen did.
Lovely atmosphere, but disappointed with the poor service. Told server he didn’t get my order right while paying but he didn’t really respond to that.

The server kept forgetting us, the food runner had to do most of the work.
We asked for things and they never came
Honestly a waste of money
