Thankfully, no live music on this particular Friday and it was a quiet time. I sat off to the side, served my beer (their wonderful East Hamilton Lager) and spent some time working out where I was going to park the RV tonight. Clifford has a big open space, lots of tables inside and out, several beers on tap and even a couple pinball machines. Well worth a visit. [Review 1469 of 2024 - 146 in Ontario - 22492 overall]

(Apparently, the beer/wine industry has been hit hard during the shutdowns, so it's difficult to keep afloat.) In an unassuming industrial area - aren't they all? - the interior is actually quite BIG and they even had pinball machines off to one side. It wasn't crowded at all on a Saturday afternoon, so there's quite a bit of room to keep your distance while enjoying some drinks indoors! (There's no outdoor seating - at least not when I visited.) I had a flight of lagers, IPA, & a Porter and although I usually drift towards the IPAs, their lagers were great too - quite refreshing and light! Bartender was friendly. Deducting a star because they didn't have 2 brews on tap for some reason that I forgot. So I wasn't able to try those, no biggie, picked them up in can form!

On a recent day trip through Hamilton to explore waterfalls, we stopped at Fool and Flagon to grab…read moresome lunch before continuing on to Niagara Falls. Our first stop took us to Tiffany Falls, one of many in the Hamilton area. The water flow at this time of the year is fairly low but still beautiful. Our next stop was the nearby Sherman Falls, one of my favourites. This one has more flow and is more shaded. I could relax here all day. After consulting our online apps, we stopped for lunch at The Fool & Flagon pub. Our light meal consisted of a Scotch Egg, French Onion Soup, Fish & Chips, and Shepherd's Pie. The food and service were all pretty good, with generous portions. The Scotch Egg was perfectly cooked, with a nice runny yolk and crispy crust. The French Onion Soup was topped with lots of gooey cheese. The Fish 'n' Chips was ordered with two pieces of fish for sharing. It was also quite nicely done and came with a generous amount of tartar sauce, which is rare. The Shepherd's Pie was very good, perhaps one of the best I've had from a restaurant! With could food and good service, I would definitely come back to this place!

We moved to Stoney Creek in October of 2015 and we were so happy we found this place…read more On our first visit we met the owner and his parents were there as well. The food was fresh and I said at the time that it was some of the best pub food I had ever had. We turned into regulars and came back very often; usually a few times a week. In the past few months something has changed. The portions seem smaller and the food just isn't hot or well prepared. This has been our experience on our last three visits. The last time we were there we had food taken off our bill because it was really that unsatisfactory. Tonight I had the Sante Fe chicken dinner which is freshly battered and fried chicken breast tenders. The chicken was barely luke warm when it got to me and the portion was probably half of what it had been. The chicken was not crispy on the outside (like it had been in the past when we first started coming there) and there was very little buffalo sauce. The strange thing about this is the last time we went in the exact situation happened and the chicken had to be sent back. The last time they made fresh chicken, this time it tasted like it had been microwaved and sauce splashed on it. We are actually quite upset that we have had so many negative experiences here in the last few months because this really was our favourite local restaurant. We likely will not be back. Something has changed here and in my opinion if it isn't rectified they will lose other regular customers.

Overall the diner is setup like a typical, simple, breakfast diner, but they have The Flintstones playing on the TVs. There's lots of seating, so I have never had to wait.

The food is simple- so if you are looking for something seasoned or with very bold/unique flavour profiles this is not the place for you. The Bedrock Bistro is great if you're looking for affordable, well-portioned, classic breakfast food in Hamilton.

We really enjoyed their fried chicken/mac n cheese concoction and an outstanding loaded poutine. All in all the food was very good, proportionate and reasonably priced (esp after the exchange rate).
