This place has a lot of memories. So when I found myself in the area, I thought I would drop by for…read moredinner. I remember when you had to go down some stairs to enter, but for quite a while they moved spaces. It's still a typical British inspired pub, but a gastropub. That is, bring lots of money. I managed to get a seat on the outdoor patio. Ordered a half pint and the chicken pot pie with mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables. I was really hungry, which the attached photo shows. The crust of the pie was a great texture, nice and chewy at the edge, nice and soft where it was covering the filling. The chicken and veggies inside were cooked perfectly, as were the grilled green beans and carrots. And the mashed potatoes were smooth, but also from real potatoes. And the light brown savory gravy on top of everything brought it all together. Service was efficient and pleasant. They really knew how to handle a busy night. I loved the patio, and the inside is typical gastropub, nice and cozy. Not a bad spot for a few drinks and a meal if you're in Cabbagetown!

Sadly I have to change my review. I've been going for trivia on Wednesdays since 2017, but it looks…read morelike last night was probably my last time. They've introduced pay-to-win mechanics into their trivia, in the form of awarding points for Wednesday's trivia to people who order entrees on Sunday-Tuesday. Needless to say, this undermines the spirit of trivia and of competition for the sake of a few extra bucks. I contacted the pub itself but they ignored me. I contacted the company that hosts the trivia, PubStumpers, but they seemed more concerned with persuading me that the pay-to-win mechanic was acceptable, rather than listening to my objection. The trivia IS fun, but now it is only fun if you don't mind that a game of skill and chance is now about skill, chance, and how much extra money you are willing to pay. Very disappointing for trivia enthusiasts.

It's one of those spots that you read about and then hear about through word of mouth. So you know it's good. Though everything we ordered was fried, it didn't feel heavy, the batter was light and crispy, and the fish nice and juicy. Chips? Perfectly fried. Didn't snap a pic, but definitely get the onion rings, they're huge! Because I was with a larger group, we ordered 2 desserts to share - both enjoyed by the group. On Fridays and Saturdays they don't seat you until your whole group is present, so plan ahead if you're coming with more people. The staff was attentive, giving the right amount of attention while the dining room was filled throughout the time we were there. Delicious meal and an awesome experience with great company.

Service for both drinks and food was quick, and the cozy Irish pub atmosphere made it even better. Definitely try to reserve ahead on the website if you can.

Cool concept if you're into that, but it's definitely a different vibe than choosing a track from a catalog and singing along. From what I gathered, the band was friendly and offered an alternative when they didn't know the song my mom wanted to sing, but she opted out and left shortly after. No big deal. The place looked decent from the outside, kind of like the kind of pub you'd slip into for a pint and some low-key tunes. Later, I mentioned the experience during a karaoke chat somewhere else, and people who had been to Queen Victoria Pub spoke well of the jammy-oke setup. So, while it wasn't the right fit for my mom that night, others seem to enjoy it. Probably worth checking out if you're open to a more live-jam kind of karaoke scene.

So on a Friday night I suddenly fancied some Fish & Chips. But I am rather fussy about my fish. I…read moredo prefer halibut over haddock or cod. But as many know halibut is a premium fish. But I found this pub had halibut on the menu so I ordered two dinners plus a side (1 lbs) of wings. The food arrived hot and the fish was very good. The portion size was decent and the fries were still edible. I often find when ordered for home delivery fries seldom make the trip. I kind of wished more restaurants/ pubs vented their boxes so the fries did not get too soggy. I did find my order came with a generous portion of tartar sauce but they served white vinegar not malt. A bit of a faux pas here. I did find the wings a bit under done. I guess I prefer a bit of a crisp so I popped those in my air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 ° F. After that they made a tasty side.
