Pretty typical pub food great fries. We got the basic poutine it was fine but nothing too exciting. The service was excellent & the patio was a great place to sit.

There is definitely a cool sports bar kind of vibe & an enjoyable atmosphere. The food coming out looked decent but my fish & chips were really bad. Mashed cod in a rubbery corn dog batter (seen in photo). Like…why? My wife had the classic poutine & said it was ok. Our server was friendly but we only saw her once. I don't think it was bad enough for 2 stars but barely good enough for 3. They should just take the fish off the menu. The burgers looked good & so did the nachos. Too many other choices to return but if you want classic pub food, it's decent I guess.

The poutine was excellent. Wait staff was very friendly & accommodating for our group size. Pitchers of Molson were great.

The poutine was good, but it was also $23. The drinks are expensive too, & my friend said his rum & coke wasn't great. My Mojito was $17💀

Also, the funniest bit was that after a song played, I heard'Want a break from the ads?' blast through the speakers. Damn, for how expensive the food is you wonder where the money goes🥀(for the uninitiated, that's what Spotify plays in between songs when you have the free tier, the paid tier is like $10)

Wouldn't recommend because of the price (good food & service but was not worth what I paid), & avoid buying drinks there at all costs.

The smoked meat poutine was great, however I couldn't finish all of it. Staff were accomodating after we asked to move outside, partially due to the questionable choice in background music. Great atmosphere & some good options. Would recommend.
