​​Bard & Banker｜Victoria’s Hidden Gem Pub 🍴​​

Spent the weekend in Victoria and randomly picked this ​​Irish pub near our hotel​​ for lunch (yes, drinking at noon—why not? 😆). Expected a basic meal but was ​​totally blown away​​! ​​🌟 Vibe Check​​ ​​Classic Scottish tavern​​ with cozy wood panels and vintage decor. ​​Christmas lights​​ still up (festive + moody = perfect for photos!). ​​🍽️ What We Ordered (Zero Regrets!)​​ ​​1️⃣ Pan-Seared Scallops & Pork Belly ($34)​​ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ​​Sweet-savory perfection​​—caramelized scallops + crispy pork belly = ​​BEST DISH EVER​​. ​​Downside​​: Only 5 scallops (I needed 10 more 😭). ​​2️⃣ The Bard Burger ($19.55)​​ 🌟🌟🌟 Double patty + pickles + crispy fries = ​​solid but not mind-blowing​​. ​​3️⃣ Mussels in Cream Sauce ($29.95)​​ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ​​Plump, fresh mussels​​ drowned in garlic butter cream. ​​Pro move​​: Dunk the warm bread into the sauce—chef’s kiss! ​​🍹 Seasonal Cocktail ($4!)​​ Citrusy, fizzy, and ​​stupidly cheap​​ for happy hour. ​​💡 Why You’ll Love It​​ ✅ ​​Cozy yet lively​​—great for groups or solo pub vibes. ✅ ​​Happy hour deals​​ (check their IG for daily specials). ✅ ​​Historic charm​​: Built in an old bank—check out the vault-turned-wine-cellar! ​​#VictoriaEats #HiddenGems #PubGrub #ScotchEggsWanted​
