I was not impressed. Maybe for a younger crowd, it is better recieved. The staff was nice and they had a full bar. I paid $7 Canadian dollars for cover and got stamp on my wrist. I did not know clubs still did that.

I wouldn't say this bar is for everyone. My first impression of this place was made by motorcycle…read moreparts hanging from the ceiling while a large bouncer checked my ID. Awesome. My second big impression was formed after noticing the trend of dance music from the 80s, 90s and today (that last part sounded like a radio ad). It's actually a bit of a hammy dance floor because so much of the songs they played had well known dance moves (e.g., Time Warp, YMCA) and everyone would get right into it. It's basically the closest I've come to a spontaneous dance sequence. Make no mistake about it, I'm kinda dorky, so I thoroughly enjoyed my night, although there were a couple quick fights on the floor that momentarily soured the experience...or perhaps fed into the bar's stereotype. There are other areas of the bar too if dancing to the Village People on a crowded floor isn't your thing. You can chill out on some couches or throw back a couple shots of whiskey at the bar. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking for a pub atmosphere because it gets pretty loud and crowded.

Lunch yesterday--my wife n' I visited for the first time--celebrating my birthday. Work colleagues had raved about the good food and service at The Cheshire Cat Pub. Our visit absolutely confirmed their perceptions--wow!!! Based on our experience we'll add an additional x15+++ to their 'rave' sentiments. A dedicated a top notch team effort from reservation, meal and final wrap up! The food, venue, the entire Cheshire Cat Pub Team working in unison made for an outstanding birthday celebration experience!

The Nashville crispy chicken burger was overly fried, there was no discernable flavour except for the hot sauce and the Caesar salad was drenched in sauce.

The food, however, was mediocre overall. We had the albacore tuna sashimi and foie gras terrine to start. The sashimi was actually a nice portion of thick cut sashimi, but the sauce and garnishes could have complemented the tuna a bit better. The foie gras terrine was ok - not enough crostinis to go with the foie gras. Flavour wasn't too strong. For the pappardelle, it looked like chunks of pork belly instead of pig cheek? The pork belly was nice and crispy but overly salty. On the other hand the pappardelle and sauce was super bland with zero flavour. Overall, the food didn't meet my expectations.

We weren't really expecting a whole lot since we find that pub food can usually be pretty standard. We walked through the tavern to get to the patio and we could see that inside would be a nice and cozy place for a pint and grub in the colder months. The patio set up on the side of the tavern was nice too with little lights and music playing. I ordered the Fish & Chips, which was sea salt and malt vinegar crusted fish that came with fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce. The one piece of fish was a generous portion, so I was glad I only ordered one instead of my usual two. I was happy with the dish overall. My wife got The Mill Burger that has two beef patties, brie cheese, pickled onions, bacon, tomatoes and chipotle mayo. She upgraded and got a Caesar salad instead of fries. Her burger was really good and flavourful! I would order it the next time we go because it was so juicy and delicious. Her Caesar salad upgrade was also tasty and worth it. We both got two beers each during the date, which were a bit expensive but it was a nice treat for a night out. This tavern is a spot worth checking out in Manotick if you're in the area.
