The place has roaches. I killed an adult roach at my table. Staff were nice enough to comp my meal, but based on what was told to me, there is a significant problem that is only getting worse.

We did not feel welcome at all, No one was caring about our table. We just-ordered a beer and left. Never coming back

We usually conduct a monthly event and the staff is very accommodating and friendly. I have tried some of their food. I really liked the Irish

My wife and I used to come here regularly but last night marks the end of that. I can forgive that it was a but busier because of a very large party (80 + people we were told) but there should have been servers scheduled/ assigned specifically to them and not forced to also juggle the patio. The result was the requested modification to my order not being addressed but since we didn’t see her from the time we ordered, there was no way to address it so I had to either let it get cold or eat it as is. The food itself was the standout disappointment as it seems as though this chain has recently adopted the “frozen is faster” philosophy, delivering fish and chips and chicken fingers comparable to what you’d find at the grocery store. This was not the crispy, flavourful hand-battered fish they served previously but a uniform, crumbly batter on something that was in a cardboard box 10 minutes before it was on my plate. The fries reminded me of something I’d get from a lesser fast food restaurant. If you’re going to cut costs, then the price should reflect that but clearly the focus is now on maximizing profit margins at any cost, and at the patrons’ expense. Going forward, we’ll take our business to one of the countless other neighbourhood pubs but hopefully the owners/company reads this and realize that most people aren’t going to take the time to tell you what they think. They just stop supporting you.

Krista and the gang here are quite hospitable! This bar has a lot of great regulars, a generous tap list and two well kept pool tables/darts. This bar hits different than any of the other firkin style bars I’ve been to.

I used to like coming here until my last visit. I was at the bar having a drink and speaking to a few friends. We weren't saying anything bad about anyone there, just catching up.

The two bartenders on shift that night were easdropping and putting their nose in our business. I couldn’t believe it! Like they were way too much! You can tell they do not have lives outside of work.

Then after I paid the bill and tipped them well, they had the nerve to start talking badly about me behind my back for no reason. Like what the hell is wrong with these guys?! What grade are we in?!

I can see why other people have posted such bad reviews, including the complaints of racism. After my last visit at this pub, I can see it, and I want no part of it! I guess I’m not part of the little local high-school click.

Time to go somewhere else. There are many, many other places to go!
