The food here, what limited options you get, are sound. I don't know if they have an online menu, but check it before you go.
The place has a bit of a schizophrenic atmosphere, because it's called a "pub" but the owner considers it a "restaurant". Well, what is it? Can I swear here? Can I bring my kids here? Basically, you can't do either.
The owner may have her opinion but here's mine:
There's nothing high class about it so don't expect fine dining if you come here. It's located in one of the sketchiest parts of Kitchener so, if you're a hippy or social experimenter, then yeah, you can probably get some entertainment out of the company who happens to drift in. Maybe me, love to meet you!
Functionally, it really is a pub, as is advertised on the nameplate outside. "PUB" to me means a place to drink booze and meet people casually over a few drinks. That's exactly what this place is, and it's cheap. You can get food here that's better than "pub food" but certainly less than gourmet or restaurant food; and the prices are cheap. It's close to the Delta Hotel but that's it. Probability says that this place is mostly full of seniors and random unemployed people; management seems to be a bit hostile to the younger gentrification type. That being said, it's no reason for discouragement.
It is not gay friendly and unless you're a local you will probably feel unwelcome here.
Great little Pub
Great Prices
Great Specials
Great Patio
Some of the coldest draft around!!
Spoiler Alert - This is a pub not a restaurant....it has good pub food(however no deepfryer - so no wings/fries)
And for the homer who reviewed this place complaining about the prices, only getting a loonie, and being dumb enough to pay them for tap water....You need to get out more often
$4 a drink is not high at all(that is tax in)....don't know what math you came up with to figure you're giving the 25% tip or 50% tip....it would only be 25%...
if you bought 2 drinks $8 and happen to get a toonie...that would still only be a 25% tip if thats what you leave them....give them a tip after you have gotten a few if its a problem....or ask for quarters....
I decided to try this place out because there's isn't much for karaoke in Kitchener right now. What a disappointment.
The place was full of what appeared to be underage drinkers. I bought $4.00 drinks all night and the bartender would only give me my change in loonies or toonies, therefore I had the choice of either tipping 25% or 50%. This seems a little excessive, considering their price of drinks is more expensive than most other places. Near the end of the evening, I asked for some water and they had the nerve to charge me $4.00 for TAP WATER which was undrinkable.
It's a shame because this bar has a great patio area for the summer but I unfortunately won't be returning.
