Pub 36 on Hess (Bar and Grill) — Restaurant in Hamilton

I work next door to Pub36 and over the last year have had multiple positive interactions with who I believe to be the owner and/or manager. Today I was working a double and forgot my lunch/dinner at home so was looking to grab something to eat but unfortunately I couldn't leave the store even for a moment, and I only had cash on me so most delivery options were out. Just as I was about to give up and wait the 7 hours until I closed for the evening to get some food I remembered that the Pub next door has a pretty great menu. So after taking a quick look at their website I gave them a call to explain my situation, even offering to meet them curbside as I would still be close enough to my shop. Not only did he help me out but he also personally delivered my sweet potato fries within 15 minutes of me ordering them! Talk about great service!!

The fries were perfection. Absolutely delicious and super fresh! The chipotle sauce they use for their dipping is also heavenly and the combo of the two made for the perfect afternoon fuel up!! 10/10 I will definitely be back for more and to try some of the other things on their menu that's for sure!

We got in and our drink order was taken quickly. The pitcher of sangria was quite good, we'd come back just for it if the mood strikes again.

It seemed like there was just one server who was also the barman, so it took about 20 minutes after our drinks came for our food order to be taken.

For $13, you get a generous small order of the same onion rings pizza pizza uses. I wasn't stoked on that, I could have not worn pants and stayed home if I wanted those. The spinach dip was fine, I'd say about $3 too much though. I would have liked a couple more pita pieces, but it was fine.

The steak was cooked properly, but the mash that came with it was dry and sad. Maybe the chips would have been a better choice, but we'll never know. I was happy that the butter chicken wasn't just the jarred butter chicken sauce from Costco, it seems to have actually been made in house. Maybe.

All in all; the barman was pleasant, though maybe a tad inattentive. The drinks were good, I've got nothing bad to say about them. But if you're hungry, for $100 "worth" of food, you'd likely be more satisfied staying home and uber eats-ing yourself a Wendy's...

I've always enjoyed Pub 36 and their tasty foods in HessVillage.When i heard they'd expanded to include Indian cuisine(a personal fave) i was intrigued and excited! I sat on their lovely patio and ordered a dish called 'kadai'.A thick curry dish exquisitely mixed with bell peppers, onions tomatoes garlic and a blend of spices.Big and meaty chunks of goat.You can choose, just veg, chicken etc..It was to die for flavorful.I had medium that came with a spicy. kick.Mild is best, if spicy is not your preference.The meal came with two fluffy nan breads, i added white basmati rice and a side of fresh greek salad.I was in Indian heaven.The chef Nav was pleasant and very helpful in explaining all the array of sumptuous dishes this new Indian cuisine menu has added to an already impressive variety of food choices! I can't wait to comeback and try all the other dishes mostly under $20.!! Coupled with their daily drink specials, a definitely inexpensive classy date option.Still took leftovers home for delectable lunch the next day:)Tell Alex i sent...
