Met up with cousins and their kids over at the Ship. Didn't think it was kid friendly but indeed it was. The place was quaint and casual, food was amaaaaazing. Ordered the fried perch which was seasoned amazingly! Sweet potato fries and the crab poutine which I did not think I would like but it was soooooo good and flavors were unexpected. Service was quick and my daughter and niece were pleased also with everything. Will definitely come back to Hamilton just to eat here

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.

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!
