We came here on our first night in town and it made us feel right at home - server was very nice and when we asked to split the Irish stew they actually put it on two plates for us. At first we thought they made a mistake and gave us two full orders because the portions were still pretty big, but when we got the bill they had in fact split it for us. I was very impressed by that. We each got a beer for ourselves and it was a perfect time. And the stew, by the way, was PERFECT. Would definitely come back!
The food was soooo delish and big servings. atmosphere was great. when going places to eat with an autistic son can be difficult because we are always nervous of how people will react with him close by but they made him comfortable and made us feel welcomed. was a great meal and experience
This place is a gem of Victoria! We stopped in for a quick bite and ended up returning two additional times during our weekend in town. The atmosphere, food & staff were absolutely fantastic! Coincidentally, all of our visits happened to be during happy hour, which made it even better but, to be clear, we’d definitely recommend going outside of happy hour too!
The beers & ciders are great, the food amazing and the atmosphere, with live music playing and rugby in the background, made it so much fun! The poutine and soups (especially the crab bisque) can’t be missed and they have the best fries anywhere. The bacon & brie cheeseburger was a hit as well…
While we normally try to branch out and explore different places, our experiences here made this one was just too hard to pass up each time! We’ll be returning for sure!
Oh, did I mention the Irish Coffee?? AMAZING!!

So happy that we found this pub! Service was unbelievable. I wish I remembered the young lady's name whom helped us. She was phenomenal. Innis & Gunn on tap! The food was delicious. Only downside was the bathroom was downstairs. There may be one upstairs....I just didn't see it. Good value for your money.
Old time pub feel. Lots of wood is used throughout. The little side cove we sat in looking out at the streey was great. The happy hour was grand. The Bacon and Brie burger was my fav. The nachos weren't my cup of tea. The cheese was pretty crunchy, and everything seemed to be on top. The chips were greasy and a little too hard and chewy. The chowder was not a thick chowder and also more a seafood chowder, but did have a great flavor. Mac n' cheese was very good! Service was outstanding!
Great food and atmosphere and drinks. I Had a beer that tasted like a margarita (so good) Loved the Canadian poutine, Crab Bisque ,clam chowder with Irish Soda bread. We sat outside, and people watched. Beautiful location and area.
Ordered the Cod Fish & Chips, Crab Bisque, and Shepherd's Pie, only one was worth writing home about. The fish & chips was a large portion, but, the batter was very greasy and the fries were soggy. The fish itself was decent, but the subpar batter was disappointing to say the least. The shepherd's pie was a little overpriced, all things considered. While it was okay, it wasn't very memorable; it felt thrown together and rushed. However, the crab bisque and included bread were absolutely incredible. The bisque itself was rich and creamy, little pieces of crab floating around, it had a nice kick to it and overall was very good.
The service was very good considering how busy they were, and the atmosphere was also very inviting and comfortable. However, all together, I wouldn't necessarily recommend coming here. It was okay for a one time experience, but wouldn't return.

I had the Shepherd’s Pie here for about 22 CAD. It tasted pretty good, I just wish the portion size was a little larger.
Men’s bathroom could be cleaned better, water and toilet paper was strewn all over the floor. I don’t know if this is a normal pub thing or not considering I can’t drink in most countries yet. Other than that I quite liked the interior of the restaurant.
Service was great, a waiter came to check on us during the meal and we didn’t have to wait long to get the bill. All in all, I might come back when I visit Victoria again.
