    Basic Benny
    Laura T.

    Lovely spaced out patio that's dog friendly. The people at the other tables that brought their dogs had them hang out under the tables. Some tables have umbrellas, for whatever reason my friends selected one without, so I used my wrap to avoid too much sun (it's sneaky how it comes through the trees & angles of the buildings). It was a bit odd that none of the umbrellas were opened up though. One pup was quite happy to be back on the patio & knew what to do before the command was given. That's one cute regular! Entrance around & into patio is accessible & two entrance options so there's no bottleneck. The patio is connected to directly to the sidewalk extension & I appreciate there were no extra barriers on the patio entrance. Waitstaff was friendly, checked on us as much as they could & orders did arrive decently quick. Meals were all very much enjoyed by my brunch group. The large portion size was constant for all the orders & no question we were filled up. One even needed to pack a lot of the breakfast up & another just tapped out. My basic Eggs Benny with bacon was exactly what I needed for brunch. I enjoyed it. There wasn't anything special with the sauce nor the tater tots as a side but honestly I kind of just liked it plain (my stomach wouldn't of handled anything extravagant or spicey) & enjoyed soaking up the extra hollandaise sauce. Downside, patio seating is with picnic tables. This is not as mobility friendly as people would like to think it is. Even as a cane user, I struggled getting in & even more so getting back out. I didn't even go inside to use the washroom as I didn't have it in me to do an extra round getting my legs under the table. I grabbed parking at one of the nearby lots as the street parking only had a few openings a couple blocks away (not a distance my mobility was capable of that early afternoon but if you do snag one on the long weekend at least it's free). If you're in & out within an hour, it's less than $8 at that particular lot (high but still tolerable). However, what I didn't realize (even with zipstall app) was how expensive 2 hrs would be ($16!). So if you're already in the neighbourhood walking around or don't need to worry about getting close parking, you're fine & thus avoid that sticker shock with brunch. Not the restaurant's fault but the city really should work together with parking lots Downtown (especially on a long weekend Monday). This is why I don't brunch or shop often in the area, as there's very limited parking on the street & even rarer to find any handicap zones. I had hoped with the app that the cost would be under $10 but that was my reminder on a learning lesson from a few years ago... For those that are bothered by the smell of cigarette smoke, etc., big FYI that smokers like to hang out really close by to the patio. As do the panhandlers waiting around. I didn't enjoy smelling smoke while eating & was grateful that wasn't constant throughout the time outside. While there, only one waitstaff that was outside regularly (granted a guy helped deliver food a few times) but they seem like they were run off their feet (or at least that's what I guess, as it was long spurts between us seeing anyone for coffee & water refills). There was always people going into the pub to eat & drink. So they could have left us a pitcher of water on the table which would have made it easier on them checking on us & for us to enjoy being in the moment of the visit. As we felt like we needed to actively watch for someone to get a refill on water &/or coffee. Overall, we had a good time catching up, as the weather played nice for a couple of hours. The food was tasty & lovely to see pups welcomed on the patio. However, I won't be going back to the patio anytime soon as I prefer to enjoy my food without a side of secondhand smoke.

    We came here with another couple for some food and drinks after a comedy show at Rogers place. The drinks were good and came our quickly! We ordered the combo platter and a side of the cheeseburger spring rolls. Oh my were those ever good!! I would definitely order those again. The server was nice and attentive but the food took forever to come out. We ordered our food and did not receive it until 1 hour later. The bill was pretty normal priced and not expensive. Drinks are good price ranging from $6-$10 and the appetizer platter was $38. I would come here again if I was looking to just have some drinks with friends but know that if you order food it might take a while to come out.

    Came in for a late lunch. Upon arriving we weren't greeted initially and then was asked to seat ourselves, which was understandable since the waitress was working alone. The atmosphere was very much pub like, with jerseys on the walls and I enjoyed the decor and atmosphere. When I worked closer to Kelly's, this was our go to lunch spot, however it's been a few years. My partner ordered the nachos with ground beef. He mentioned that the beef was quite greasy, and it definitely needed more cheese. I also have to note that extra sour cream was $3.75, which is kind of wild! I ordered the chicken Cesar salad, which was good, however I did find the chicken to be a bit tough and overcooked. Overall 3.5/5. Still definitely worth checking out!

    Burger sliders and fries
    Nathalie M.

    I don't usually like giving few stars. We enjoyed their nice patio while watching a basketball game. Service was nice and good. However, even though I was looking forward to my virgin raspberry mojito, i was disappointed by it. Felt more like a soda with bits of raspberry in it. Didn't taste like a mojito at all. I couldn't taste the lime or mint. We were also disappointed in the burger sliders. The meat was very dry. It's hard to tell just by looking which burger had which sauce. The food and drink experience was underwhelming. Otherwise, nice atmosphere.

    Bean burger
    Hector I.

    Located very central on 104st. The vibe is very sport bar type of pub. The restaurant itself is decorated like a classic Irish pub with license plates on the walls. The restaurant is kinda small but nice. The service was polite but slightly slow. There was only a couple of servers so it was understandable for the slow service. The bean burger was great and the fries were perfectly seasoned. Overral, decent place for a sport bar. It can be a bit crowded and loud inside.

    My boyfriend and I went here for drinks after work. He got a beer which was very flat and I had the cider on tap which was ok. After that we just ordered the bottled beer to be on the safe side. We ordered an appy too the baked artichoke and Spinage dip which was awesome! The dip came with chips, veggies and toasted bread for dipping which was really nice. The atmosphere is casual and laid back with an old Irish pub feel. It's a good location downtown to grab some food before going out or just after work hangout with friends. The service was also friendly and it seemed like they had a lot of happy hour specials and upcoming events at the pub. I'd be curious to go back and check out the live entertainment as I hear they sometimes have.

    Philly cheese steak
    Jason I.

    Very disappointed we ordered the crunchy chicken sandwich, it wasn't just crispy it was dry and over cooked ( you could taste the burnt ). I also ordered the philly cheese steak, I was really looking forward to it but it hardly had any sauce, there was one tiny piece of roast beef and hardly any onions or peppers. For $19 you would expect to be able to at least taste the ingredients not just the bun. I will say that last week I ordered their platter and it was pretty tasty and the honey hot wings are yummy.

    Silk Road burger with a side of salad.
    Arc P.

    Conveniently located down the street from Credo this new pub opened up about two months ago. It definitely has a trendy vibe inside and it does seem like a "hip" place. There are lots of tables here with a decent sized bar. That being said I kind of get the feeling it's one of those places that try to be everything. The music is really loud in here and that makes the voices of the patrons louder, which results in a continuous positive feedback loop that hurts my head. This definitely is not the place if you are a micro brew beer person as the selection is limited to the commercial. I tried my first Tennants here because it was "different." And later learned that the $7.50 they charged is ridiculous compared to the 1.50 pounds they charge for this stuff in Scotland. Wasn't pleased about that. The service was below average. I don't know if they are understaffed, but they were extremely slow. Once I inquired about if they lacked appropriate staffing the service did pick up. The bright spot would have to be the Silk Road burger. It is decent. The fix-in's were skimpy, but the meat of the burger was really good. Not worth the $15 though (comes with a small side salad). For me, this wouldn't be a first or second choice in the area. But I will come back to see if things have improved. It was a Friday night so maybe that had something to do with it.

    Great food

    This is great spot for food before the game or after. The steaks are fantastic. Little loud but bars can be like that.

    Happy hour all day

    You really can't beat this play if you're looking for a local pub downtown. The food has some great value (Monday is wing nights) and the happy hour prices rock (see photo) I watched them come out with a cheese pizza, and wings and they both came out great. We came here on a random night, and the prices for 2 beers here were cheaper than 1 beer at craft (and yes, it was the exact same beer) Super friendly inside, I've seen stags here, and old guys with beers at the bar. It's kind of tucked in, so you might not see it. But it's worth going. Pros Good prices Feels like a neighborhood pub Cons Sometimes understaffed.

    Turkey dinner.

    Came for a beer or two and to socialize on a Friday afternoon…read more This place was packed at 230pm. Service was slow that's the only reason I didn't give a 5/5. We were greeted right away without an option of a menu for a drink. I asked for a menu and got one but then our server didn't return for quite a while. Same thing when we wanted a second round. It was pretty busy, but no one checked up on us or seemed to help our server out. We did see a few others working with her but not checking tables. We shared their most popular pizza it was pretty good. Would recommend their food! Prices are great. Atmosphere was great. I'd come back again.

    In general I love this pub. This time it looses 2 stars because the service was terrrible…read more It took over 10 minutes for someone to come with menus ( on a Wednesday afternoon at 2 pm, the place wasn't busy at all. We almost got up and left. Then it took a while for the food to come out even though it appeared like we were the only ones eating. Then we had to go up and ask for the bill and pay because no one was visible. Not impressed at all. It is cute inside and was nicely decorated for Christmas. Food itself was fine. I had the beef dip. They were skimpier on the meat then previously. The fries and the dip were really tasty. My husband had the chicken sandwich It was tasty but the patty seemed a little small. We are not sure if we hit a bad afternoon but we will give it another shot sometime.
