“Great place. Very good food. Fun for kids too!“

“Friendly nice fun good food“

“Sherlock Holmes movie set? Did I just walk into a Sherlock Holmes scene on Ottawa st? What a wonderful setup. Totally relaxed from the moment you walk through the front doors. And that’s saying something walking off Ottawa St. I used to live in the neighbourhood. Might be a good thing that I don’t anymore. As this place is a gem. For those who know, they kinda keep it quiet. It’s small but perfect. And talk about calming. Easy to get into one of the comfortable chairs and sink right into this place. Karen a friend of mine had put up a few pictures about the place. I commented on the post. And wrote that it looked wonderful and I should give it a try. Karen said that if I did she would meet me there. Well let me tell you it will not be the last time for sure. Ashley and Alex behind the bar were amazing. Perfectly suited and great folks. Now, I was looking at the fantastic drinks that kept coming out. And the next time I go I would like to try a few of the concoctions. I didn’t see that they had flights (smaller versions). But I am very sure they could make something up. I most definitely will return. And look forward to spending a few hours in that calming atmosphere. One thing that was very prevalent to me. All of the patrons had their phones either upside down or put away. The direct communication by all in the place. Why that was great to see. See you all soon! Thank you so much Karen. What a wonderful evening. Ashley and Alex, looking forward to seeing you again.“

“Crooksy’s is a true gem. Everything you could want from a neighbourhood pub. Great food, incredible prices (especially if you stick to weekly specials), fun and quality staff. Crooksy’s is the kind of place you can walk into by yourself and walk out with 3 new friends. If you haven’t tried the wings, you should!!“

“We can't wait to return for a full dinner. We came for an end of night appetizer and cocktails. It was by far the best butter chicken we have ever had, the cheese on sourdough was so light and refreshing. Our cocktails on paper sounded daunting, interesting flavours to pair together but amazing flavour and easy to drink! The oolong ember is highly recommended. Overall good value for high quality food in a relaxed setting.“

“The best! Atmosphere, staff, menu, clientele… everything is always wonderful.“

“Saturday night was my first visit to HD and I have to say I was impressed. As a person who has known Dave for many years he has hit a home run here. The clientele, vibe and the service were exceptional. I don't drink anymore and the staff quickly pivoted to non alcohol options and even had booze-less Tequila. Will be back very soon“

“Order through Uber Eats. My wife has a gluten allergy so we thought we would try this place as it mentions being gluten free friendly. I am really glad we did! The food was absolutely amazing. Ordered a gluten friendly poutine (second one was free with a promo) for my wife and I ordered the fish and chips. Thanks Food box for an amazing meal! I highly recommend,and definitely will return!“

“Service was great, prices were great and food was fantastic. Good times 😜“

“My friend and I drove to B-Side Social from Niagara after winning a dozen free oysters and it did not disappoint! The oysters were so good we ordered an additional dozen along with the caprese salad and it was phenomenal! All of the staff was amazing. The owner (I think) or at least the GM came and chatted with us a few times, she had great energy! Our server Autumn was super cute and did a bang up job! Will def recommend and return!“

“big bar selection, tasty dawgs, cool staff, killer VHS collection, decent Lays chips service“

“Great bands for a great time.“

“This place rocks!!! Free pool everyday, the $1 wings on Thursdays are some of the best in the city, and owner Yvonne treats her customers like family. You'll normally find Nicki or Angie behind the bar. Two wonderful ladies that'll take care of all your beverage needs. A hidden gem on the hill.“

“A good ol' public house with the food you would expect from one. Lots of typical British style cooked to perfection and a good selection of alcohols. Lovely atmosphere both indoors and on the patio, and friendly staff. Would love to give this place 5 stars, but our tables fries were overcooked and hard to get through, but genuinely enjoyed everything else. Got the featured club sandwich (grilled chicken, portebello mushrooms, roasted red peppers, melted brie, lettuce and tomato) and it was incredible. Will definitely be returning next time we're in the city“

“Excellent quality food and fabulous service. Thanks to Zechariah for taking such good care of us! Everything was outstanding“

“This bar is located inside Tim Horton's field and I'm pretty sure only open during events. The service is a little slow but probably because it's during games and very busy there. You can get liquor here which is nice bc some of the bar areas in Tim Horton's field only serve beer.“

“Great place - wings are awesome and the free pool on sundays is sweet!!“

“fast friendly service. Great for singing and dancing“

“It's a neighborhood bar I've always had good times at, Friday nights are live music, shoutouts to Kendra she's a killer bartender. Everyone else sucks. It's a good place to go have a drink and just forget about your problems. Recommend“

“Great lengths taken by the owners helps to make The Venu Bar & Lounge a welcoming inviting atmosphere where delicious cocktails combined with ice cold brews fuels the taste buds towards gratuitous appetizers and shareable main dishes amongst a friendly open kick back and chill evening ....

Parking: There are no shortage of availability in regards to nearby parking options...“

“I finally found a place that serves a real, authentic croissant—crispy on the outside, soft, buttery, and absolutely delicious. You can really taste the quality. On top of that, the staff member was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and provided outstanding customer service. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great food and staff. Hillary served us and she was wonderful.“

“Food and beer selection is incredible, atmosphere is amazing and the staff are so friendly and accommodating!“

“Went with my two kids and spouse. Jade was our server (Burlington) and I can’t say enough on how good she was. Thoughtful, offered veggies first as a side to the kids, offered refills without delay, polite, respectful, smiling… excellent!! It made our dinner experience much better than anticipated. The area where we were was loud but that wasn’t her fault. Was placed in a far corner and it was a little difficult as I was with a cane, but the service was so amazing that it brought this review to 5 stars for us!!“

“Stopped by today, as it is really nice out and decided to try the food. We took it to go, and I have to say, the food is fantastic and worth the wait! Emily deserves a special mention too - she is awesome, and you can bet we'll be back!“

“Jersey’s is a Burlington staple. Amazing wings, incredible fresh cut fries, huge sandwiches, massive loaded nachos. Best portions in the city especially considering the price. The pool hall is awesome and it’s the best venue for live music in Burlington 🔥“

“Came here last year to see Judgement , i was visibly pregnant and the peers here was very kind and offered me a seat , i was treated well here and nobody moshed near me lol. Great experience and thanks again for everyones kindness when i was super pregnant lol“

““My cousin took me here for my 19th birthday, and I had an absolutely amazing time! The karaoke was such a blast, and the vibe was just right. The service was top-notch, and the food was delicious—definitely a place I’d recommend if you’re looking for a fun night out!”“

“This past Sunday my husband, son and I went for breakfast for the first time and was impressed. The service, staff and food exceeded my expectations! Would definitely recommend and going back!“

“I really love the atmosphere of the restaurant. I came for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. Even better, the prices were quite reasonable for the quality. What stood out to me was the overall vibe. Despite a few people enjoying drinks at the bar, the noise level was very manageable and didn’t disrupt the calm ambience I prefer when dining. I appreciated being able to enjoy my meal on the quieter side of the restaurant. The crowd seems to be mostly travelers staying at the hotel which added to the relax and professional feel of the place.“

“Best service ever ... and best place to eat 👍🏻😊“

“I really really like the food. It’s like the best sweet potato fries I’ve ever had and the burger was amazing too. I just hope that the server could stop asking “how’s it going” every 15 mins. I clearly has a face of I want to be alone but I still got couple servers that came to me. The restaurant was at a quiet time and it’s not near closing. So I wonder…I was just trying to enjoying my time😭“
