Besides beer, there are cider, radler, wine, cocktail and non alcoholic drinks like kombucha, alcohol free beer, lemon soda, sparkling water and juice boxes. The main stuff is still beer though with many different flavors. We noticed if you asked for the beer to drink at the beer garden at the back, you get less beer due to the mason jar used. If drinking inside the tasting room, it will be served in a glass. We only saw that when the staff had to transfer the beer from the glass to the mason jar after we said we would like to drink outside. The beer garden was nice. There was a mini playground for kids, grass for dogs and many Adirondack chairs scattered around for seatings. Just remember to leave the empty mason jars in a bin next to the gate when leaving. Cameras are all around the area.

We typically don't have dinner at the hotel we are staying at as it seems to us that either the…read morefood, or the service, are not up to the standards of stand alone restaurants. Definitely not the case at Pastimes on our visit this evening. Our server Teresa was excellent, even though she was quite busy. She happily answered our questions about the food, and the choices we were going to make. We shared a house salad which was plentiful and had a nice accompaniment of dried cranberries and almonds. Both items are things that are often scrimped upon as they are complimentary items that aren't an inexpensive addition. For our mains I got the meatloaf with mashed potatoes, and the lovely K the turkey dinner. Both were excellent, with the meatloaf wrapped by bacon, likely the local Hertel variety which was incredible. Real mashed potatoes and veggies cooked to my perfect taste along with gravy. Easy 5 out of 5, as was K's turkey, also accompanied by mashed potatoes and veggies. The decor is pure sports bar, but the sound on the tv's was down so you could actually talk without the usual noise. The Canucks were in Nashville so we watched the game and enjoyed a very very nice meal. Sadly we couldn't finish it all, and with a travel day tomorrow we had to send it away, what a shame. We will most definitely be back the next time we are in Port Alberni.

Ordered the breakfast taco- 20$. Was a rolled up thin element of egg, salsa and a slice of ham. I was making these in high school . Only finished half because it wasnt very good. My boy ordered the cod fish and chips. He finished them, but i noticed he peeled away alot of excess batter. The eggs and bacon look as expected and i believe the others were content with their choice. Orange juice was mucho watered down. I would come here for drinks or to watch a game.. judging drom my experience and the other comments. Im not sure if food is their forte.. Service was good, waitresses were attentive.

We were pleasantly impressed by the wonderful view from the patio overlooking Porpoise Bay. The service was very welcoming and friendly. We ordered the fish and chips that we noticed other customers were enjoying as well as a glass of white wine. While waiting for our meal we enjoyed the lovely view of the mountains, bay and boats while sipping on our glass of wine. Everything was perfect! The meal arrived and it was beyond my expectations. I rarely order fish and chips and I would definitely order it again at the lighthouse pub. The fish was delicious and the fries were perfectly crispy. The portions were great for me and my big appetite. The price was reasonable for such a lovely meal and atmosphere. I look forward to going back to eat there again on my next visit.

For drinks I ordered a lavender coconut margarita, it was quite strong and a bit too salty. The others had different beers so no issues on that side. Overall a good place to have a relaxed meal.
