Holy crap! Where has this little gem been hiding all my life?!…read more So the Mr and I have heard about this place but never stopped in to catch some Sunday Funday live music. Oh ya, and a bit to eat. Such a friendly place...think Cheers. Best blues band-David Micheal Miller, and man was the crowd hoppin Beer was cold, and just ordered some fries and pickles which were fine-a little distracted by the band! Definately recommend this place and will totally be back soon!

Had the crab poutine and while massive it tasted old and fishy. Ordered the French onion burger and while also big, the meat tasted expired. I was sincerely worried that I would get sick later (so far it's the day after and I'm fine). The optional ceasar salad upgrade was delicious though. Server was great and super friendly. Place is classic pub and felt grimy. Won't be back because the food is awful.

Decided on fish and chips after hiking and so we were hungry! We had 2 dogs with us and luckily…read morethere was no one on the patio during that time. The fish, fried chicken and fries were all fried so we'll. The batter they used for the chicken and fish was well seasoned. They came hot and crunchy. The amount of sauce they gave us for each portion was a good amount. I would love to come back when in the area (Y)

Stopped in because the patio looked inviting after an afternoon of walking the neighbourhood…read morerunning errands. The advertised beer special was not available, sold out, but the waitress allowed a substitution. Ordered the steak n guinness pie and was surprised that it was indeed a meat pie, not just stew topped with pastry. Disappointed that there was no steak n kidney pie. The meat pie was typical pub grub. Not a lot of choice for someone that's lactose intolerant. Bathroom was clean, the staff were friendly and efficient. I stayed on the patio except to use the bathroom. Reasonably priced, would visit again if in the area.

This will be a confusing review. Been wanting to come check this place out for a while now knowing…read morethat they have live music everyday. Had some time to kill before a show so decided to check it out. Cool little place, felt comfy and friendly with what seemed like regulars occupying the bar area. Server was friendly, a lovely young lady singing, and our drink order was taken promptly. Then it got weird. Beers took a super long time to arrive even though the bar wasn't too busy. Food order was also taken quickly and took a super long time to arrive. Servers shift was done, we paid and were told a new server would be taking care of us. That never happened. As our glasses sat empty, the Mr. went up to the bar to grab another round. For some strange reason 2 beers at the bar were almost $2 more than what we just paid. That's not cool. The nachos were really good (although $4 for the very tiny side of chili was overpriced) beer was cold, but the service was disappointing. For that reason I'm not sure if I will be returning.

I wanted to be by the fire and they accommodated me. I ordered a coffee, and mild barbeque buffalo wings. It came with french fries, gravy, blue cheese, and carrots and celery. I waited about 15 minutes, maybe 20 and my order came out. The waitress was so nice and polite. The coffee was amazing, because I have so much bad coffee when I go out, it stood out for me. The chicken wings were big and very meaty. The sauce was really good. The french fries were skin on, but not wedges. The gravy was very good and the blue cheese dressing was mild. The waitress came to check in on me three times while I was there and was pleasant each time and I was very happy with the service. The establishment was clean. Everyone seemed to be very busy. It was a very pleasant lunch. My lunch including the coffees and 20% tip was $23 . I would definitely come here again.

Sadly, after reading so many good things about Ye Olde Squire on Fennell we hit a really bad experience when we decided to try it. We went for the last Stanley Cup hockey game and even reserved because we thought that it would be great. The food was good but the service was unacceptable. I ordered a Virgin Mary because I do not consume fish, and when I flagged the server down because something tasted off, I asked her to check what juice it was. 20 minutes later, at least, I had to flag her down again. She said that she was so busy that she hadn't checked. When I went to the Bar the bartender said it was a Caesar. We had mentioned we had stressed that I did not eat fish products, and the Bartender's reaction was most uncaring. Her only response was that she could remake it for me, and it was said in a way that I told her to just take it off the bill. She told me that she wasn't sure that they would do that and that I had to get approval from the manager, (who was the server) and brushed me away. She apologized and stressed that she had order it correctly and that the Bartender had made the mistake. I stressed how dangerous this could be if people had allergies. She gave a one word 'sorry' several times, in a manner that did not impress me. She took it off the bill, but the accidental plugged an extra $20 onto the bill. Again, one word 'sorry'. I left a message for the Restaurant manager to phone (who was off for 2 days and to his benefit called me back). He seemed sincere and asked for two days to get back to me so that he could talk to these two ladies. Now it's way past that deadline and there is no phone call. I never write a negative review without giving the manager an opportunity to make things right. AVOID SQUIRES if you have any food sensitivities, allergies or preferences. For us it could be bad, for others dangerous.

The first time we walked in we went to the bar and met Dale. We have not looked back since. We come the nights Dale works for many reasons; he's engaging, funny, has amazing conversational skills. He makes you feel welcomed and helps others met at the bar. I have been many times with a girlfriend or on my own and I never have to worry about safety. Dale always has an eye out to make sure everyone is okay, and if I feel awkward, he has always stepped in and taken care on it. He is the reason we go to this bar. He has become an important person in our lives and I will enjoy his company at J&J and follow where the road takes him. I would not be alone; the WTF following crew is large.
