Reviews describe Pubjelly as a vibrant, stylish venue with a lively atmosphere and a strong drinks program, where the food is imaginative and frequently well received and the service is described as attentive and well coordinated, creating a welcoming, high energy experience. Positive notes include standout seafood dishes and beef tartare, along with creative starters and a buzzy lounge feel that suits social dining or a romantic evening; however some visits mention cold or slower service, occasional delays, higher prices, and occasional inconsistencies such as overcooked potatoes or a less memorable pizza. Overall the consensus is a memorable, enjoyable dining scene with great cocktails and a convivial vibe, best enjoyed when the pace aligns with expectations.
HIGHLY recommend this restaurant. The food was unique & delicious. We especially enjoyed our crafted cocktails! The service was out of this world! Every server was very detailed about the plates & made the experience more fun. Our server, Maria, was very hospitable, knowledgeable & pleasant. She made great suggestions. Overall, great place!

Belle soirée entre ami(e)s hier au Pubjelly. Ambiance festive, staff attentionnés avec une mention spéciale pour Loïc.

Great place to have good food & conversation with friends. The ambiance is great & the service doesn't compare. We were very lucky to have Loïc take care of us throughout the night!!
I really enjoyed this place. We just stumbled in it & really enjoyed it. The service was good, there were moments where it was a bit slow to check in drinks but it was overall good. The food was very good. We did a tasting menu & I really enjoyed every dish. They also have a good vegetarian option. Honestly me only issue with this place is the price of a drink. A cocktail is $21 & it was not good. It was really not to our liking, which could be on me... Can't love everything new that I try, but I do believe a mango margarita should have at least some sweetness. Not being to my liking aside, $21 for a small cocktail is ridiculous. I would probably go back, but I'd avoid cocktails.
Had been hyped up on this place for a while, so decided to try it on a weeknight. Rather crowded for a random Wednesday. Had a dinner DJ, as places do, but pleasant tunes & was an appropriate volume. Service was okay. Had to wait 10-15 minutes just to order drinks & another 10-15 to get them. I tend not to rate on service unless it's egregiously bad, & overall was fine here, but was a bit slow for a place marketing itself on quality. Food, on the other hand, was overall not impressive. Split a few apps, one of which had some sort of chickpea cake which, to their credit, was one of the best things I've eaten in a while. Partner had a meat dish as a main & I tried the pizza. Some of the flavor combos were interesting (cauliflower on pizza?), but the techniques & the refinement weren't there for a place of this price range. It tasted like if a dive-y pub tried to serve tasting plates...guess that explains the "pub" in the name? Overall, I can imagine it being okay for a mid-day vin & snack if you're a hardworking businessman in the area, but don't go out of your way.

Our hostess, Marie-Suzann, & the chef took us on a culinary adventure. We had the tasting menu. After asking us about our dietary restrictions & likes & dislikes, we let them surprise us. The food was fresh, flavourful & masterfully prepared. The ambiance was great. Thank you for a memorable dinner.
