Unless you want to get kicked out for no reason, do not come here, we got kicked out for an open bottle, the claim was crown Royale....none of us even bought crown Royale and they kicked us out while we where outside, just because one of your patrons before us had crown Royale and left at our table does not mean we did it, not even asking if it was ours, not even coming up and telling us to our face was completely disrespectful, at a time when local business should be a big part of our daily lives, the idea that I'm so disgusted by one of them is completely sad and unpatriotic, it's disappointing to have to tell this story to others, but I felt it my civic responsibility to let anyone know when they come to this pub this is what they cosign on.

The server didn’t tell us it was wing night so we missed out on the only inexpensive thing on the menu. In short, the patio is a great place for a beer but we wouldn’t...
Read moreHad an excellent experience here. The bartender was super chill and very friendly. The dining area was clean and had a very cool vibe to the space. I had the Quarterway burger with jalapeños and onion rings, I really enjoyed that they used real cheddar on the burger. Not a thin amount either, a healthy portion of genuine Canadian cheddar. The onion rings were similar to the kind you can get at Dairy Queen, I've personally have had some pretty bad onion rings at bars in my time but I like the ones at DQ and I like the ones here. The best complement I can give is to sat that normally I have leftovers to take home, even at my favorite restaurants, but here I scarfed down every last portion without hesitation. Totally recommend.
PS, if any staff there see this consider adding crispy jalapeños the burger options. I think they'd go...
