Fantastic place for meals, beer, & Social gatherings. My family loves coming here at least once a month because the food, we have never had a meal we didn't injoy.

The Carey's Burger!
Bobby F.

We overheard a gentlemen telling an out-of-town family where to get the best burgers in town. Since we were ready for some lunch ourselves we took the recommendation. We were not disappointed! The pub was quaint & relaxing and the service was fast & friendly. I had the Carey's Burger and my wife had the Fish & Chips. We sampled each other's dishes because they both looked so good. The fish was a well-cooked 4 oz. portion of cod and of incredible quality. Where most restaurants use more batter than needed and that's usually very greasy, this was the exact opposite. And now the burger. This was easily one of the best burgers I've ever had. A homemade huge beef patty, thick crispy bacon and a sweet bbq sauce that seemed made from scratch. Everthing else on both entrees appeared well thought out, the kichen's own recipes and complimentary. Carey's is an absolute jewel in Muskoka and we look forward to trying other dishes on their menu when we visit again and again.

I loved my experience in coming here!…read more The space was lovely, really old school vibe. They had a small bar inside, with seating and a beautiful patio outside. Its in the back of a lane, so its not off the street. Yet, Bracebridge is on the small side so, its pretty easy to find. I believe they also play some local bands. I'd say more about the bathroom being small and them having an ecclectic collection of photos and the like. Yet I do not fully recall all about the ins and outs. Its kinda vague for me. I find its always nice to look at that kinda thing. Makes me have an appreciation for not being the only Collector of the odd. The person that was working the day we went, absolutely phenomenal. He was on the cute side, super friendly and accomodating. I ordered the plant based burger with their in season, warmed beet and chard salad, yet what appeared on my dish was not plant based. I'm not entirely fussy about the juices of the beef or anything. However when I asked him about it, he promptly was willing to have the whole dish redone. He seemed rather appaled that he had made a mistake like that, given he was plant based himself. Perhaps it was me not being assertive enough, or perhaps something was missed when the order was taken, either way immediate action was taken to quickly rectify the situation. And it was awesome! This to me, bespeaks of going above and beyond, which is something I resonate strongly with because I am that type of way myself. Would definitely return.

Awesome spot tucked off the Main Street, well worth a visit!…read moreWarm friendly environment

In fairness, I think it's important to know what you support when you visit this business…read more Courtney, the current owner, does not follow the Employment Standards Act, Section 14, when it comes to paying out tips or tip-outs to the employees. The legislation requires that all tips be paid out immediately; unfortunately, Courtney refuses to pay the servers all their tips for weeks, even though she knows they need their tips to live on. Courtney has been advised of the legislation, yet seems to think she is above the law. Anytime anyone speaks up, they no longer work there. Here is what you can do to support the employees: Pay the tip in cash - This way, they get it immediately, and Courtney has no opportunity to withhold it from the employee. Send a clear message to the employer - Let them know that you cannot support a business that prevents employees from receiving their tips as per the ESA. Regarding tip-outs, we have asked several times to show us the sales and how tip-outs for bartenders and kitchen staff are calculated, yet every time we ask, it is ignored. I have asked to be paid the money I am owed for weeks, only to be ignored. This is the employer you are supporting.

We went to watch the amazing Cedric Newman, and let me tell you, the guy is HILARIOUS! He had us…read moredying laughing the whole time. They should definitely book him again. And then, the food... oh man... it was great. First, the Donaleigh's Signature Burger, that burger was massive, juicy, and packed with flavor. It had a combination of the beef patty, crispy bacon, white cheddar, BBQ sauce, and onion crisps on a toasted sesame brioche bun. It was absolute magic. As for the sides (which you can pick either salad, fries, or soup of the day). I had fries, it was good, nothing special. Then, do not even get me started on the Chicken Club. My partner got it but I had a bite, it was like a party in my mouth. The Naan bread was soft and warm, and the filling was amazing: chicken, bacon, boiled egg, basil aioli... it was all so good. For his side dish, he got garden salad, which tasted fresh ( I got a bite of that too lol). I shared my fries ;-) Moving on, the service was great. Our server was super friendly and attentive, checking in on us regularly to make sure everything was okay. And the best part? Parking was a breeze! In Downtown Barrie. Free parking after 5pm (we parked at 9 Simcoe Street), just a 3-minute walk from the pub. Donaleigh's Irish Public House is killing it with their live events! They have got Genevieve Cyr and Nate Douglas performing soon, and The Rob Watts Band is taking the stage too. But honestly comedy shows are a must. We need more,especially since there is no YUK YUK comedy in Barrie. Hopefully, they will keep bringing in more comedians to make it a regular thing.

I also tried the sticky toffee pudding and it was ok at best. The service was tremendous as usual and its a friendly price point. It was the busiest i had seen it in my previous visits so there was some ambiance. Now that is summertime i will going there more frequently and looking forward it. Im going to get a full order of fish and chips next time and I want to try their roast beef dinner on Sundays

Sadly I have to change my review. I've been going for trivia on Wednesdays since 2017, but it looks…read morelike last night was probably my last time. They've introduced pay-to-win mechanics into their trivia, in the form of awarding points for Wednesday's trivia to people who order entrees on Sunday-Tuesday. Needless to say, this undermines the spirit of trivia and of competition for the sake of a few extra bucks. I contacted the pub itself but they ignored me. I contacted the company that hosts the trivia, PubStumpers, but they seemed more concerned with persuading me that the pay-to-win mechanic was acceptable, rather than listening to my objection. The trivia IS fun, but now it is only fun if you don't mind that a game of skill and chance is now about skill, chance, and how much extra money you are willing to pay. Very disappointing for trivia enthusiasts.
