Peach Sour Beer! Yum-o!
Candice C.

This was my first visit to Five & Dive and it won't be my last! My first impression of this place is that it's a little "busy" with the decor. Kind of a sensory overload, but sometimes you have to look past the shell and get to the goodness. Music was loud enough you could hear it, but not so loud you had to shout. Win-win! I noticed some people reviewed that the portion sizes are small, but let me break it down for you... 2 starters (queso w/ chips and scotch egg) 4 beers (peach sours- not house beer!) 2 meals (donair and bao buns) Total- $60 (without the tip) Where else can you say that?? That's a bargain! Food was typical pub fare, no complaints. Meat was juicy and portions were just right that I didn't have the dreaded leftovers. I don't need to get into details of it, I liked it and we all have our preferences. The name of the place is Five & Dive... And my expectations were as such. Service was top notch. Attentive and friendly, but not hovering around. Just how I like it for a place like this. I honestly can't wait to go back and enjoy some live tunes!

Scotch egg
Lisa C.

I like this concept of the menu, it's great for people who want a small portion or a large one. Good for a meal or snack as most of the items are $5.55. I would say two items would satisfy the average per for a meal. This is a pub so they are counting on customers to have a drink or two and more. The food selection is good so it was hard to choose. I heard of a scotch egg but have never tried one before and it was on the menu so for sure I wanted to try it! It was quite good, I tasted lots of pepper in the sausage meat around the egg. The egg was cooked perfectly, not really runny but not fully cooked. The Mac & cheese with crushed cheezies was okay, not that creamy but still cheesy. The brisket donair was a good size and tasty but could have contained a little more meat. The fish was good and the chips were not that greasy, I would order this again. During Covid-19 and restrictions, there were no activities during open hours yet. This would be a great place to hang out with friends!

Been to Five & Dive a couple of times; once last year and then a few months ago. My first visit, there were more customers and I found the food portions were a little bit bigger. Understandably, the portion sizes seem to be smaller now as the profit margin might be different. I still found that ordering two items would sufficient food for me, and if you're coming with a friend or two, sharing items is a good way to try more items. The first time around, I had the donair and side salad and enjoyed it. The second time, donair seemed a bit smaller but still tasty. The fish was a big piece the first time but second time a lot smaller. The décor is cool, and love the KISS mural being a KISS fan. I also like pinball, but I don't think the machines were working either time. It can get loud with the music so conversing in raised voices might be needed. Service was ok, nothing outstanding. I'll come by again and try a few more items on the menu when I'm in the mood for pub food.

Cheesecake pancakes
Donna M.

I met my bestie here for brunch on a Sunday. I was disappointed at first when I saw how small the menu was, but I later learned that what they do for such little cost, they do really well. And you really can't beat those prices. They're decent portions too. We had to move because it was a bit too loud and we're a bit too old. Note to self: If you want long conversations to catch up with a good friend, don't sit directly in front of the DJ. Bestie ordered Ranchero cups and it looked fabulous. She also ordered the Cheesecake pancakes, and she let me try one. I'm ordering that next time. I had the skillet and it was so satisfying. It hit every savory note I craved and I would definitely order it again. After trying the pancakes, I decided to order the blueberry French Toast too. Two slices of simplicity, but delicious. Hits all the crave notes, sweet, but not overly much so We were driving, so no booze, but it was tempting. Maybe next time. This place has it all. Good service, good food, good prices, good music and I loved the décor. Absolutely coming back.

$5.55 house beers
Lily V.

A restaurant/bar where ALL food (and some drinks) are all $5.55? Colour me intrigued! @fiveanddivewem is located in WEM on Bourbon Street right by the entrance. Two seating areas separated by a large bar and a small stage area for live music. A sensory overload with so much to look at, good music and friendly service. They have 6 kinds of their own draught beers for $5.55/pint that were cold and refreshing. We liked the appetizers but they are pretty small. We tried corn dogs (delicious) and Texas Twinkies were ok but small (bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers. Says there was brisket in it but we didn't notice). The mains weren't great and portions aren't huge. A burger after you add a side and extra toppings works out to about the same price as anywhere else & taste wise felt pretty average. The donair was disappointing and was honestly more salad than meat, which is the opposite of what I'm looking for in a donair. (There were 6 small pieces of meat in total. Yes, I counted.) Donuts were ok but I wish it came with a dip because it was dry. Portions are small and I would suggest ordering multiples of the appetizers (as the menu suggests). If you're coming hungry, I wouldn't say you're going to be spending less than you would anywhere else. The menu had some questionable items that made me :/. I get the concept of fusion, but sometimes some things don't and should not go together. That said, it's a fun vibe to hang out with good music and drinks/maybe some snacks. A definite case of you get what you pay for.

Stopped by the mall & found this cute place. The atmosphere looked fun and welcoming. We didn't realize everything on the menu was $5.55 until we sat down. SCORE! We ordered a few things. Dive burger w/kettle chips, poutine, bloomin onion, fried pickle chips, & pretzel bites. The burger was good! The poutine was my favorite. I would come back just for the poutine. I'm a fan of the skinny fries and gravy. The fried pickle chips were decent. Not a fan of the dill ranch, wish they had a different option for ranch. I wasn't a fan of the bloomin onion & pretzel bites. But for $5.55 each, it was worth a shot. If I were to give this place another chance I would try the shepherds pie & Mac n cheese. The service was less than average. The person scanning QR code's & checking vaccine cards was very polite and fast. Self seating, but as soon as our QR codes were scanned we were good to go. Took awhile for them to take our drink orders. When our waitress brought out our food we were missing a few items & my husband had to chase her down because she sat down our items and kinda ran off. Didn't even bother to ask if we needed anything else. I thought that was odd considering it wasn't busy. We were the only ones seated on our side. Overall, it was fun to try so many different things and not break the bank. The service was blah. The only way I'd try this place again is if we were going there strictly for the bar.

Blooming onion
Amabel D.

Still a fun atmosphere but I have to take away a star because they dropped all their amazing vegan menu items! There's only four left and they're just snacks and not meals.

Fries supreme.

However, the second experience was disappointing to say the least. I received a text message claiming I had missed my reservation followed by an inappropriate "wtf?" remark. When I provided a screenshot confirming my actual reservation for a different night the texter responded with "ha ha, my bad, must not have gotten the memo." Upon arriving for my confirmed reservation, there was no table reserved for us. We were placed at leftover table in a corner, the service was subpar, the owner displayed unprofessional behavior when he incorrectly to my friend as Mexican. When she corrected him, stating she was Venezuelan, he unapologetically laughed and walked away. The only reason I am giving two stars is because of the positive first visit.

We decided to do it again for 2022. Three of us charted the route on Dec 29th and went into the pub after. The two pizzas and wrap we had were excellent. (I had a pizza at BP in October and this was hands down far superior) Something about a wood burning oven just warms a person. We had about 22 people into the pub after our NYE hike. Everyone ordered food and drinks. There were a couple of forgotten drinks but overall the service was good and the food was excellent as well. It seems Glenn has done some renovations since we were last there. The place looked good and was clean. We were glad to be back. :) Happy New Year Uncle Glenn!

As Greasy as the End Zone, but the people aren't quite as scary. They've got a couple of pool tables and the selection of the songs in the juke box is alright. The beer is always less than $4. The beer prices are reasonable. The food prices are incredible. As long as you buy a beer, you can get a hamburger for 99 cents. They're not your luxury home burger but they're still good: covered in bacon, cheese and mushrooms. Without the beer they're $2. The Spring rolls cost $6, you can get a huge plate of onion rings for $4. Hello, is this the '80s?! Retro prices and your average pub experience, but what else are you looking for from a local drinking hole. They have pay-per-view sporting events if you're into boxing or ultimate fighting, VLTs if that's your thing. The servers are always friendly and know all the regulars. It's all right.

No food specials or drink specials. And the bartenders didn't know the prices -- when you ask them -- hey how much is a Bud Light? They actually have to look it up on their screen. They don't know the prices of their own drinks where they work. Very strange. The average price for a Bud Light or pretty much any beer, whether it's a pint or a bottle on Whyte Avenue or downtown is $5 bucks. Some places you may pay up to $6.50 maybe $7 dollars tops like at pricier places like Sherlock Holmes or Kelly's Pub but places sych as: Hudson's, The Pint, Black dog O'Byrne's, Leopolds, Cabin, Greta, The Local, Brown's social hall, Original Joe's, Earl's, 1st Rnd, Canadian brewhouse, Canadian icehouse, Cactus club, & MKT, etc. You're not paying more than $4-7 bucks and maybe $7-10 bucks if you're getting 24 ounce pint, a tankered or Stein or an imported beer with a very high alcohol percentage of 7%-9%. And that's every day all day including Friday and Saturday nights, etc. So at this neighbourhood bar on a Tuesday evening it's double the cost of everywhere else in the city. Bud Light with a tip was $11 that's more than the Commonwealth Stadium at football games! At the Commonwealth, you can get a big tall boy can fat Can for $10.75 -- and a regular sized pint or can of Coors light Bud Light, Pilsner, Miller, etc., for $8.75

Trivia nights seem to happen every Tuesday and the one I participated in had a RuPauls Drag Race theme-- super fun!
