Coach and Horses Pub — Restaurant in Kawartha Lakes

Traveling for work isn’t easy, especially when you are away from home for quite some time. A coworker and I stumbled upon trivia night at the coach and horses pub, and didn’t know what to expect. As soon as we walked in, everything felt immediately authentic and we made our way to the bar, we were kindly greeted by the staff, shared a few quips, and were guided to our table. We picked out team name “Down with the quizness” and had some breathing time before the trivia started, and let me tell you, the vibe, the regulars, the management staff and the owner were all amazing. You really do feel a great sense of community here, which in itself, at a pub, is extremely rare. The staff and owner know most by name, the people there are genuinely interested to get to know you and have a fun and friendly chat, and it is almost impossible to feel unsafe. All in all, the food looked great!(unfortunately we had eaten before we went) the drinks are cold, the vibe is genuine, the people are extremely kind and fun, and a big shout out to the owner for creating an amazing experience, the manager for doing me a solid (big guy with the beard and red shirt, so sorry my memory for names is garbage) and the bartender for being lively with a great sense of humour. I would highly recommend Coach and Horse pub to anyone and everyone and would give 1000 stars if I could!!! Thank...

Do you love a good dive bar? Do you love going somewhere where the staff and patrons all know your name? Do you love walking into a place after hard day of work and seeing your beer is already cracked and waiting for you? Well look no further because that is what the Coach is! It doesn't matter if it's 3pm on a Tuesday and I'm chatting with the old guys at the bar, or 1230am on a Saturday and I'm contemplating singing "Crazy Rap" by Afroman at karaoke. This place hits. The staff want you to have a great time, the food is surprisingly amazing (especially when Joel's in the kitchen cooking up his special menu) and they always have something fun going on. Check out trivia night, or some live music, maybe the patio or one of their DJ/karaoke nights! I always recommend this place to people visiting town and I personally always have a great time. And it would be amiss to not mention the work they do in the community supporting the downtown, the nightlife and so many charities and causes. Props to the coach team! Thanks for always being there for me...

Disgusting service. Disgusting staff. Michaela the tattooed server is incredibly rude, someone needs to teach the girl how to treat paying customers. My girlfriends and I, one all the way from Alberta, wanted to stop in for a drink, but the service we received BEFORE we could even sit down (patio) was atrocious. Michaela yelled at my friends when asked about drinks “DIDN'T YOU SEE THE SIGN!? GO INSIDE AND ORDER!”, proceeds to roll her eyes and walk away. Obviously we went somewhere else after, if we were treated like that before we even sat down, I don’t want to know how the rest of the service would have gone.... definitely won’t be going back and telling people to avoid such a hostile...
