One time, we came during Sunday brunch and ordered the following: 1. Ale Battered Cod & Chips with Mushy Peas & Tartare Sauce. 2. The Q&B Full English Breakfast. 3. Avocado Toast with Fried Haloumi & Sunny Eggs. As expected with upscale food, their food was quite good. The service was good. There is a main dining room, a smaller one at the front windows, and a small room with a single long table. There is also a full bar. Upstairs, there is a lounge with a big screen TV and a bar for hosting sports game events. There is a very nice outdoor patio during warmer weather. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is not wheelchair accessible since it is in a Victorian house. There are separate male/female washrooms upstairs. There is paid neighbourhood street parking. Review 2025-267

Did not disappoint. It was packed on a Wednesday at 5p. We didn't make a reservation like we normally would. We were still able to be seated in the upstairs bar area. Our server was very nice and a lot of fun. Very cozy atmosphere and music was great. Not pictured but we did also get the Spice Bag. It was very good. We should have gotten two because it's not really a Sharable.

Very nondescript outside facade - no sign telling you what it is other than a small "BSC" (for Bovine Sex Club) painted near the door. Hard to miss though as the exterior is made up a punk rock style sculpture of rusted bikes & other assorted ephemera. The interior is similar, visually. Great sound system & chill vibes pervade throughout. Weirdly the stage is right in the entrance of the club, on your left, with a long bar along the right side, heading back. Great, crowd, great location in cool area with lots of restaurants & plenty of parking - both on the street up to 2 hours & extended parking for a flat-rate of CA$20 (~$14 USD) from 6:00pm until the next morning, just 2 blacks away.

The Bovine is a fantastic place that is the same today as it was decades ago. not only that, but it…read moreis also one of the cheapest pints that you can find. Now, are the taps dry? Maybe. Are the beer cans running out? It's possible. But, it's a dive in the way of the old dives. And the acoustics for bands are... not great. But they are a sign of what once was. Without attempting to try to present a front of a time long gone, The Bovine simply exists today as it once did in that time long ago, before Smokes stickers, before iPhones, back when people would just go to a bar to talk with those they didn't know the morning prior. Bring cash though, unless you're looking to make some big orders, because credit card is a minimum fifty-dollar spend.

My most recent visit here was on the patio during some warmer weather as there was a corporate event inside. Our server was well-versed in handling larger groups and kept us up-to-date as we waited for our food in light of the larger event. I had the chicken pot pie, which was decent with a crispy flaky top. I wish that there were more chunks of chicken in the pie, but the seasonings were good. I would recommend if you are looking for a corporate event for space or for larger groups

Staff was nice and friendly, frequently checking on us. Food was bland. I had fish and chips. Aside from the green peas, the food was forgettable. The skin on the fish wasn't crispy.

This was first on our list, located in the Scotiabank Tower on Adelaide. We got a nice corner table, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting, not too loud but not library-like either. The music, mostly UK fare like their cuisine, played an acceptable volume that my friends and I didn't have to raise our voices. We were seated very promptly, and our server took care to attend to my friend's allergy. She even asked to change my friend's cutlery when another server brought the wrong salad. My appetizer was a hot-smoked salmon pâté, which was ok by itself, but eaten with the pickles gave it that taste I wouldn't forget. I chose for my main the Petit Roast Dinner; the cut was excellent, full of flavour and juicy to boot. The gravy for said cut just brought the roast to another level. The sides were delicious as well, especially the crispiness of the potatoes. A clean plate was the end result! Finally to finish the meal, I chose the chocolate banoffee cheesecake - I never pass on any cheesecake when it's offered. And it didn't disappoint! The banana brûlée was an interesting touch, while having toffee sauce drizzled on the cheesecake was a first (and not definitely last) for me! All in all, it was a nice introduction to The Rabbit Hole, and I can't wait to go down there again!

We are talking three stories and plenty of TVs to watch sports.

The drink was really good and I enjoyed it immensely but the flamm was just okay. Not a lot of toppings as pictured on the menu haha. There is a bit of a hike to the bathroom but it's manageable. Unfortunately because the windows to the patio was opened, there was a lot of smoke (weed/vaping) and random perfume and cologne scents wafting in. Just beware.

Solo and groups are welcome here but only downside is the washroom isn't well maintained. It would be great if it could be cleaned more often during busy hours. Ordered their Yard poutine and a pint of Beau's Lug Tread. Always pleasant when I see one of my favourite beers on tap! The fries are triple cooked which made them extra crispy, perfect to pair with cheese curds and gravy. Overall, if in the area it's a great spot to grab a couple of drinks and food as well. I'd definitely come back to try out their other menu items. Check out their specials as well!
