But our bartender, by the name of Red? What a lady. What a lady! Knowledgeable, personable, professional, and approachable. She helped us make beer and cider selections, and made some spirit and shot suggestions. And. And! She was so nice on the phone when we called to see if the joint was open, and how late it would be open. Our plan was to visit a few different places, but we just stayed here until close. And Red was a big part of why we stayed so late. Also she curated the music selection just perfectly. Great place, great people. Come and get some brew, boo!

Kind service, great neighborhood, established in 1912, this is a classic pub. A Detroit Gem. Highly…read morerecommended

Rachel Is a Whole Vibe, Even If I'm Not Built for This Place…read more The Old Pony Martini Pub really tried to win me over. Service? Immaculate. Prices? Shockingly reasonable -- like "did they forget to add a zero" And Rachel? Oh, Rachel was out here being fun, cool, hip... basically the human equivalent of a limited‑edition sticker pack. She somehow manages to make you feel both welcomed and mildly judged for your drink choice, which honestly is a talent. But listen -- this place just wasn't for me. Not because of Rachel (she's basically the pub's emotional support bartender), not because of the martinis (which slapped), but because I walked in expecting "old pony" energy. So yeah, 5/5 stars. Would recommend. Will absolutely not be returning. This was a one‑night stand between me and a martini bar, and I'm choosing to ghost.

The Victoria Tavern has been an establishment in the Walkerville area longer than any place in the…read morecurrent neighborhood. The ambiance is pub style with old tin ceilings and a large scotch selection behind the old bar. There is even a large area outside in the backyard to enjoy a cold beverage or two. The food is consistently good -- with burgers, sandwiches, salads, apps and daily specials, they even have some pretty good fish & chips. Everyone is friendly, lots of locals, and some type of entertainment or activity every night except Sundays. Friday night is Karaoke, and live entertainment starts in the early evening on Saturdays. A good casual place to grab a beer and a bite to eat while watching the game. Check it out! it's a hidden gem!

Our server tho was really nice and accommodating. Btw parking in across the street from the building** The place was very large and roomy (uncrowded). They have a bar top and outdoor type seating with heat lamps.

Before that we just had soda and brats, in the 1960's. What a treat for clients to meet us here tonight. One of the great German Biergartens, I've tried every beer in the place and could easily do seconds on them all. Pro Tip: For individuals or couples, bar seating/service is exceptional, as well as, a truly wonderful experience you must try at least once. Service everywhere is top notch. A very classy operation. Always has been. The atmosphere is legendary. No spoilers. Go and expose yourself. German fare is very deliberate. I can't guide you other than to say, this is the bench mark others strive to achieve. My favourites include the German Sausage soup, Rindfleisch Rouladen and the Rahm Schnitzel. I plan to make it back here 2-3 times a year from now on. 11/25

Highly recommend checking this place out for the wings poutine and of course, beers.
