Pub Arya is widely praised for its welcoming vibe, attentive service, and strong drinks, with many reviews highlighting friendly staff, a cozy yet chic ambiance, and reliable food that pairs well with cocktails, including standout items like oysters, arancini, gnocchi, scallops, and various seafood dishes. The dining experience is often described as a pleasant mix of casual pub atmosphere and refined touches, and the private back room is repeatedly mentioned as an appealing setting for groups. However, some guests report issues such as small portion sizes during special menus, occasional delays between courses, and price versus value concerns, along with a few critiques about food consistency, including oysters that are not perfectly fresh and certain mains that feel underseasoned or heavy. Music volume and tempo are noted as factors affecting relaxation in some visits, while multiple reviews emphasize that the service and beverage program remain a strong draw, making Pub Arya a recommended spot for dates, dinners with friends, or weekend outings, especially for those seeking a lively yet well executed dining and drinking experience.
Belle découverte dans le quartier , nous y sommes allés pour le souper, mais ils servent aussi des brunchs & des dîners.nous avons partagés 4 plats & pris en entrés des huîtres à 1$! Les plats étaient tous très bons, j'ai eu un coup de coeur pour les pâtes aux homards.
Omg. Where else can you find a 25$ table d'hôte this good! Everything I tasted was top notch. Oysters, samosas, fries, wagyu steak & truly one if the most amazing tagiatelle (truffle) pasta dishes I've ever had. The chocolate mousse was also perfect. I'm quite critical & I have found that every bite was perfectly prepared, I was dancing in my seat. Can't wait to go back.

Place was great, their oyster $1 deal was surprising. Everything was perfect in this place, & to add the service & the atmosphere were meticulous. I forgot a shopping bag here & the staff were honest & kept it for me to come grab.
J'y suis allé il y a quelques temps, & la nourriture était bonne, mais le service laissait beaucoup à désirer. On avait l'impression de déranger les employés. La manager était sèche & je ne me sentais pas le bienvenu dans le restaurant. Je ne recommande pas cet endroit si vous voulez une bonne expérience. Dommage, parce qu'on y mange bien.
Had a great brunch here. The food was on point: we had chicken & waffles & the mushroom omelette. The food is fresh & cooked with care. The breakfast potatoes & midnight mimosa were a stand-out here as well. This is a great addition to the neighborhood after the departure of Santa Barbara & we will be coming back.

Une belle réussite que ce nouveau pub resto sur le site de l'ancien Santa Barbara. Accueil très chaleureux, & cuisine de grande qualité. Huitres délicieuses, cocktails originaux, déclinaisons de boeuf Wagyu (difficile de choisir!) , frites à la truffe... Ambiance sympathique avec DJ live mais le volume de la musique rend les conversations difficiles aux tables ce qui nuit un peu à l'expérience.
Merci pour cette très belle expérience. Des plats délicieux, un service conviviale & chaleureux... comme à la maison. La nourriture est savoureuse. Le boeuf est à tomber par terre!!!! Tout était bon, de l'apéro au dessert. Soirée & ambiance Hot, merci à toute l'équipe. Je vous souhaite un très bon succès. Un spéciale pour la gérante des lieux 😘😘(& les proprio ).
Nous y sommes allés deux semaines à peine après l'ouverture, & nous avons été étonnés de voir à quel point tout était déjà bien "huilé". Belle ambiance, service sympathique, très bel aménagement... Une adresse qui devrait vite devenir un incontournable dans le quartier!
Pub Arya is a must try for everyone! This is the type of restaurant that is missing from this area. Super Trendy vibe, amazing & unique food options, & great service. On the weekend, the DJ brings a new atmosphere to the place where you want to continue the party until 3am! Their cocktail menu is unique & so delicious. The food is amazing. Never had wagyu steak like that before!. Their lobster Mac & cheese is to die for & their raw bar... one of the best oyster bars in the city!!
