    I've been to this place a couple of times when driving through Guelph. Has a super chill atmosphere right in the heart of downtown Guelph. Service has always been very friendly with good servers, that give just the right amount of attention. Must say one of the best fish and chips I've had at a pub. Perfectly crispy batter exactly the way I'd expect it to be with pretty large portions. I've only been in on a Sunday afternoon and has been moderately busy, but imagine Saturday nites would be jammed especially once school is on. The reason for a missing star is that there is no brunch menu on Sundays even though they open early. Would still recommend and will definately return,

    My friend and I went there during homecoming weekend. Not sure what was I expecting of an odd looking dungy bar. But don't let the looks mistake you bc their food is delicious. I ordered their chicken bbq pizza and had some sweet potato fries on the side, both were superb. Also tried a raspberry martini, it was missing on the spirits but it wasn't lacking on flavor.

    1/2 price wings on Wednesday's. $7/per pound.

    The DJ s must be deaf. They played the songs are much too loud and they ignored to lower the volume even customers complained.

    Their location on the corner makes it easy to find amongst the many other downtown bars, and I really like the garage door "walls" they open up when it's a nice day.

    I came here for the second time with my family. I was sadly disappointed. The place was a little…read moretoo warm and I extremely disliked the sticky tables (it wasn't dirty, but an unfortunate table top finish issue). We ordered quite a bit of food. The appetizers (calamari, mozza sticks, and wings) were great! Very solid choices although personally the wings (medium) were a little too sweet for us. Service was ok but the waitress did seem a bit stressed. The mains, however, were a bit disappointing. The burgers were just ok, my halloumi in the halloumi salad was burnt (although the salad itself was great), and the children's cheese sandwich was also burnt. The fish & chips were very oily. Usually I really want to like and rate local establishments well as I am a local myself, but burnt food is a no-no and unfortunately with kids I don't really have the time to ask for a remake. Great vibes for a good beer though.

Set ourselves up with a West Avenue Heritage dry cider and ordered a Poke Tuna Bowl and a Beef Dip. First of all, the service was excellent. Warm, friendly and genuine. I even spilled a whole glass of cider and they replaced it free of charge. The food was very good and we would certainly come back. Highly recommend this for a wonderful lunch.

    Fixed Gear Brewing is my 315th brewery. I know I have two breweries listed as my 315th brewery, but…read moreI seem to have lost count somewhere. Give me a break, there was beer involved and 315 is WAY more fingers and toes than I have! FGB is built out in an old garage. Not a lot of seating inside and a woefully small bar but it does have a nice patio area out back. It was pretty much empty when I arrived with only two customers. No one was at the bar and I ended up standing around for about five minutes while the brewer and another guy were getting stuff done. I was just about to walk out when one realized the server had left to pick up food for the other customers. No hard feeling as these things happen but they should pay more attention. More than enough said. I ordered a flight of four, out of the six they had on tap. The cherry sour had a very nice cherry aroma and flavor but to overly sour. SWPFTD might disagree though as she doesn't care for sours. The Dutch blonde ale was up next. Very light with a hint of a bready flavor at the end. Breakaway IPA was a light aroma and bitterness IPA with a little haze to it. Easy drinking as far as I'm concerned. Last up was Stone Hammer dark ale, which had a malty flavor but a little harshness on the finish. This was not hops but I didn't love this one. FGB seems like a cool little local hangout. A few more folks came in but it was surprisingly empty for a Friday at 5:30. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand. Yes, you will need to read into it a little to get the joke but I have confidence in you! I hope my confidence is not misplaced.

    Note: I cannot comment about the patio, bar, or atmosphere as taproom was CLOSED due to the…read morelockdown. Thank God, Fixed Gear was open for in-store purchase! I was in-town on a Monday and I know it's lockdown, but many good restaurants/bakeries were also closed. So aside from grocery stores + their breweries, there wasn't much to see in the City! Girl who was working was quite friendly and explained their 10 options they had for sale. I picked up a few cans. I was told that there are 3 different Fixed Gear locations: this one in the Junction has a taproom, the one on Alma does NOT have a taproom, and they recently opened up their "Canteen" which has a pizza oven. Apparently, they were hoppin' prior to the lockdown. I *may* update my review...after trying out my cans, so cheers!

    So here I am at Royal City Brewing and brewery #316ish. I say "ish" because I seem to be one off…read moresomewhere along the line. Oh well! RCB is in a strip mall and parking is at a premium. It was a busy place when I walked in and fortunately has food as I needed some badly. They have a lot of beers and a few ciders on tap, I counted 17 today. I went with a flight of four, which felt very restrictive and not very inclusive. The Berserker raspberry lemon sour was up first. This had a very light color and good flavor to it. The flavors worked together very well. The Luminance DIPA was recommended by the charming young lady next to me at the bar. I hadn't chosen a fourth beer and told the beer tender I'd take his choice in the matter. He went with the luminance. And I'm glad he did. Nice flavor throughout. Solid beer here! The Absolute Elsewhere maibock was a good example of the style. Fairly light and easy to drink overall. Last, maybe, was the smoked honey brown ale. I ordered this since SWPFTD loves browns and reds. This was pretty tasty and I think SWPFTD would have enjoyed it. If anyone is a glutton for punishment, please, follow my brewery, and distillery, reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg and if anyone is wondering who SWPFTD is you will have to check out my review of Black Market Brewing Co in Temecula, CA to understand.

I guess I am not a fan of the vibes, as I do prefer more of a pub style brewery than one that gives hipster vibes. The service is fine as well. It's definitely a Guelph must visit but not one that I'm nuts about.
