Okay, Saskatoon! We stopped into this pub because it was downtown (near our hotel). And we were so surprised but how lovely everything it was. The atmosphere is a great vibe, there are plenty of tables & chairs (from bar seating to booths), music wasn't too loud, and the servers were great. The menu is pretty stacked, and the portions are large (so bring an appetite!). There is some street parking in the area, but of course, it's downtown, so you may have to walk a little bit depending on the spots you can find. The pub itself is disability/wheelchair friendly - there is a small portion of tables/chairs up some stairs in the back, but you can stay on the main floor with access to the bathrooms, etc. We will definitely come back next time we are in town. I highly recommend trying one of their signature drinks (from their large bar menu), the pretzel appetizer, and the bacon mac & cheese main dish.

The service is less than good, but the food and handeling of issues top the inexperience and unprofessional behaviour of the staff. The scotch egg, the meat was so dry that it shrank away from the batter, but the egg yolk was still proper at runny. The meat tasted like beef and not pork as it is sold and the fat content is severely lacking which gives good reason to why it was so dry and undesirable. When cut into it broke into separate pieces and was a mess. The worst scotch egg i have ever had. The wings... First time were skinny and not impressive to look at but the flavour was smokie and buttery with an amazing taste... Till i found a hair on my second wing attached to one that was black and very long. And fried into the wing. The waiter/bartender said i will have new ones out to you in five min. 25 min later i asked if they were coming as many tables had wings being served around me but my new ones were not presented. She went back and came out saying they were missed. Almost 35 min later i got my replacement wings to which were so incredibly salty it could have been anything as all it tasted like was salt. No compensation was offered to my initial issue and after waiting so long the offer of my cheepest beverage being removed from the bill was all that was done. All the girls working could spend less time giggling at the end of the bar talking about personal crap and how happy they are they dont have to come into this "dump" for the weekend was a clear reflection as to why the service was so bad. The potential is there but consistency and service is the biggest road block to their success. Very disappointing as it was on my list for some good reviews but clearly tonight that was a huge miss.

I heard good things about this place and then read the pride review. I still came for the smoked chicken sandwich and walked in and saw pride flags. Granted, this was after the owner responded but action was taken. You do find owners responding to comments but rarely do you see action being taken immediately or ever. This was quick to rectify. The service from Tristan and Meaghan was great and the food was equally as good. You can't please all the people all the time but the owner cares, obviously. I'll be happy to return when back in the city. And I'm actually here watching Edmonton/Florida in case anyone thinks I'm working for the restaurant. And if you want a negative, I did unfortunately have a piece of cartlidge in my chicken sandwich which I didn't particularly love.

I was *starving* after a 2hr work out and wanted *all* the food. Rook & Raven delivered - many options for a vegetarian. I got a soft pretzel, the Brussel sprouts and a massive salad. The salad in particular was amazing - many flavours and textures. Knocking off a star as they forgot to add the veggie burger as a protein to the salad, the dipping sauces for the Brussel sprouts and pretzels were the same sauce and quite bland, and because of the price - total for the meal was $60+, which is quite pricey, even adjusting for supply chain issues compared to similar restaurants. But the food was excellent and I would definitely go back!

This was probably the beat meal we have had since arriving. The staff were great, super friendly, efficient and the meals arrived promptly with a smile. The place was clean and well lit. Quiet when we arrived but slowly filled up with people dining and a few at the bar. Highly recommend the cauliflower fritters.. they are good! There is a patio with tables outside for dining which seems popular but it is nice and cool inside so a better bet on a hot day like today. Music 🎵 is background levels and pleasant enough to talk but not interfere with the conversation. Ploughmans lunch is enough to share with three people... mmmhmmm

Amazing place. Went there on suggestion of my friend. Nice cozy place with great bar. They have amazing selection of alcohol and limited but amazing food menu. We ordered so many things and they were all amazing. The service was really good and Victoria was really nice. I had an amazing experience overall. Worth trying !! One thing - Chicken wings could be better. They were too small in size could have better pieces of chicken in it. Mushroom Bruschetta, Chicken Supreme, Fish & Chips and Smoked Wings is what we ordered with house lager ..
