Super flavourful, refreshing, and unique. The food was just as impressive. I had the Brisket Burger, which was delicious--tangy, spicy, and packed with flavour. My wife ordered the Buffalo Cauliflower Sandwich and loved it. The cauliflower was crispy, perfectly cooked, and had just the right amount of kick. Staff is lovely too, accommodating and nice to talk to. Great beer, great food, and a chill vibe--definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

The space is very reminiscent of an old English/Irish pub. Located right in the heart of downtown St Catherine's, my wife and I were promptly welcomed in by the staff as if we were regulars. There was a good selection of in house brews, the bartender was quick to offer suggestions, but we let him know we were told to check out the blueberry wheat. We only had time to stay for one drink, but had a good time, the beer was great and we had a good chat with the bartender. Very frequently and welcoming. We only wish we'd had a time to go back and try some other beers. Hopefully we will get a chance to return one day

We sat at the bar and Mike, our bartender was so much fun that we totally lost track of time! All the staff we met as they passed behind the bar were super nice and friendly. Food was very good and no one batted an eye when I asked for mayo for my fries. Seems that is a Canadian thing! We tried out several new beers (we had a designated driver) and went home with leftover chicken wings (in case we got stranded on the road in the storm?)

The men's toilets are what you'd imagine a crack house to look like. They had so many offensively named drinks that if they were in anyway Irish they'd know their history and know why they can't sell things like "Irish car bomb" & "Black and Tans"....ridiculous. Usual story, slap Guinness signs everywhere, get staff who have no idea how a pint of Guinness is supposed to be poured and make a gimmick out of the culture. I'd avoid this place.

Sheehan's is usually a pretty fun bar. I only ever go for nights out…read more I only enjoy it when there's a live band though. The place isn't big and it gets pretty packed. Lots of seating along the back raised area but it's first come first served. On Saturday I bought a beer (Canadian, $4.50). The bartender turned around and I couldn't get her attention so I left a five on the bar and headed back to my seat. When my friend asked me to go with her to the bar, out of nowhere, the bartender grabbed my upper arm (she was no longer behind the bar) and accused me of not paying her. She dragged me to the bar and I showed her my 5, which was still there. She felt like an @$$. Just thought I should note that. I left immediately after.

I'm extremely disappointed and, quite frankly, grossed out by my experience at Cat's Caboose today…read more I ordered lunch and used the salt shaker that was sitting on our table. It wasn't until after I had already put the salt on my food and eaten my meal that I noticed dark, unidentified debris/foreign material inside the shaker. I took several close-up photographs of exactly what I found. I immediately handed the shaker to our waitress and explained what I had discovered. Her response was simply, "Thanks." She took the shaker away, but there was no apology, no explanation, no manager who came over to speak with us, and no real acknowledgment that I had already consumed food using salt from that container. The restaurant was not particularly busy at the time, which made the lack of response even more surprising. I understand that things can occasionally be missed in any restaurant. I'm not expecting perfection. But when something involving cleanliness or food safety is brought to a restaurant's attention, how the restaurant responds matters enormously. In this case, the response concerns me almost as much as what I found in the shaker. I left feeling genuinely grossed out, and unfortunately, the way the situation was handled has not encouraged me to return and eat there again. I know Cat's Caboose is a very popular restaurant. I'm also realistic enough to know that losing my business or receiving one negative review probably isn't going to have a significant impact on them. That really isn't why I'm sharing this. I believe consumers should share both their good and bad experiences so other people can make their own informed choices. Where we spend our money, our time and our attention matters. We work hard for our money, and when we choose to spend it at a business, it's reasonable to expect cleanliness, appropriate food-handling practices and genuine concern when something goes wrong. I have photographs showing exactly what I found, so I'm not going to speculate about what the material actually was. People can look at the photos and draw their own conclusions. I can only speak about what happened to me today: I used that salt shaker on my food, ate my meal, discovered what was inside afterward, reported it to the restaurant, and was extremely disappointed by how casually my concern was handled. Unfortunately, this experience has left me uncomfortable enough that I don't feel confident returning.

After three wineries, my husband was definitely ready for some food. When you walk in, you definitely feel like you're entering an English pub! The bar, and place,ent of the bar was very traditional to pubs in the UK. Our server Lawerence definitely helped with his English accent! When asked where he was from, he said Bristol! He came to Canada after her sister relocated. He originally was a cook, but given his accent, they asked hi. To move to the front! Well done. He was a great server too! Very friendly! We decided to share the sausage rolls and shepherds pie. My husband had two Guinness! I'm not sure where he put it in top of the wine, but glad I was driving. The sausage rolls were very tasty. The mustard that came for dipping was the perfect accompaniment. The shepherd's pie had a dark Guinness gravy that was rich and flavorful. I enjoyed the side of peas and carrots too! Sharing these two was the perfect amount, however we wished we'd got the poutine! It looked amazing, it would've been too much food though. Guess we will need to return! PS: loved seeing the sign for Upper Canada Brewing company! In 1988, I visited them with my college partner as we did a college paper on microbrewers! At that time, they were one of a few. We also had visited Great Lakes brewing in CLE! The microbrewing industry exploded shortly there after! Was a great personal walk down memory lane for my college days!! While Upper Canada was sold, was just excellent to see an old sign!

We were with another couple and asked for separate bills. When the bill arrived, everything was on one so we had to ask them to take it back and separate it. We also waited a while for the server to come back with the credit card machine. The meals were quite reasonably priced. We may return, but would most likely try another restaurant in the area.
