Churchill Draughthouse — Restaurant in Victoria

Hit and miss, especially with the music atmosphere. First visit, evening, the music sounded so strange, like it was playing only half the track of 2 songs at the same time. Actually left without ordering since it was so ear boggling I couldn't stay. Second attempt was good, during early evening, had some nice mixed drinks, snacks and beer selection was great. Bartender was great. My husband took our son for the great beer on tap selection and was happy. Went again, later on a Fri evening. Music and treble was so high we couldn't hear each other talk. My mixed drink was tasty but we went elsewhere for a second drink due to music. The crowd there is on the more mature side so I'm not sure why they think loud is cool for here? The charcuterie was small and not very interesting for $21. Olives were good. We may try again early in the evening for drinks due to beer selection. Sadly, the mixed drink selection has been downsized since we were there and not as extensive as online menu shows which is too bad. Alot of interesting things on there! Not sure why they were removed, the liquor is well stocked here for selection. I think a sound check and/or new sound system is...

The atmosphere and drink selection is great but things have gone downhill lately. I am writing specifically because of multiple bad experiences with a bartender named Kenny, who spends more time flirting with coworkers than serving people. Kenny never looks at customers to see if they need to order anything more. It's a regular thing to wait 30-40 minutes for a bill or checkup from Kenny. It's like being in purgatory because even if you have to pay and leave, he will make it impossible to do so. I've never had such bad service at a bar. Is the owner trying to lose money by keeping this person on staff? Kenny, you're clearly not passionate about this or where you're at, is this the career for you? It's only a matter of time before they catch on and you have to get another job, I've heard similar stories from my pals. You may be putting in the bare minimum amount of work but why not aim for average? I know average is within your reach, even if it'll be a little hard for ya. Something to...

Wanted to have a good time as it was my first time visiting and I had really high hopes. Went in on a Saturday afternoon, no other tables besides myself and just 2 customers at the bar. The server came over and was very friendly, got our drink orders and before we could even say anything she walked away without asking if we’d like to order food, which was the whole reason we went there. Sat for 30 minutes, she never came back to check on how our drinks were or if we needed anything else at the moment, if we were doing good, etc, nothing. She just sat at the end of the bar on her phone while we kept making it pretty obvious we were staring at her trying to get her attention. I wasn’t about to be the customer that gets up to go up to her and ask to order food. So halfway through our beers I went up to her and just said can we have the bill and then left. Really...
