    A group of us met at Pub 44 for lunch and beers after a bit of shopping at the Alderwood Mall. Free parking can be found in the parking lot. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Pub 44 is a true dive bar; 21+ only allowed. A variety of entertainment choices can be made; darts, pool tables, pull tabs and TVs. Large parties can be easily accommodated. Happy Hour is offered Monday-Friday from 3pm-7pm and Saturday-Sunday from open-7pm. Pub 44 offers a nice selection of craft beer, standard domestic beers, hard cider, wine and a full bar. There's bound to be something for everyone. Food menu is modest, listing typical bar grub. During our visit, table service was not offered due to a staff shortage. All drink and food requests were performed at the bar. I had a couple Trickster IPAs for $5.25 (hh) and my wife has a couple Manny's for $5.25 (hh). My wife ordered the Chicken Strips for $10.50 (hh). She stated they were gristly and didn't eat them. I ordered the Nachos for $12 (hh). At first I was impressed; however, it only took a few bites to realized that the toppings we inadequate for the amount of chips provided. We wasted this meal also. Overall, a decent place to drop into for a quick beer. I wouldn't waste money on the food again.

    Came here for drinks only. This place has been here a long time. The bartender (a very nice gentleman) has worked there for almost 30 years which shows they take care of their employees (which is nice to see). From what I hear the place hasn't changed a bit in a few decades but does have an "add on" section which is large and light. It looks like it was just an extension of another section in the building. unlike their cozy "ship" area (which I thought was neat). It is a true dive bar. I didn't order food but it looked and smelled good while coming out of the kitchen. The place was quite busy for the middle of a Sunday, and it was filled with regulars. Parking is not an issue here. As for activities, they have plenty of pool tables as well as a row of dart boards. Plenty of seating for large groups as well. Not sure if they play music but they have a good sized dance floor.

    This place has COCKROACHES

    This place has cockroaches. I am a regular customer and come atleast 5 times per month. There was one crawling on my table. I told the server about it and asked if they had an infestation. She told me yes they do and they spray for them but they will not go away and there is nothing they can do. They will be knocking the building down in a year anyways. I trapped the one on my table under my drink and told her i am not sure what she wants me to do about it. THE SERVER LIFTED THE CUP AND THREW THE LIVE COCKROACH BACK ON THE FLOOR....THEN SAID IM SORRY ABOUT THAT AND WALKED AWAY. THIS IS A BABY COCKROACH. IF THERE IS ONE THERE ARE THOUSANDS. PROBABLY IN THE FOOD!!!!! I WILL NEVER COME BACK.

    You don't walk into Big Bad John expecting refinement--but even by dive bar standards, this place…read morefeels less like a throwback and more like it's been left behind. There's no warmth waiting for you here. No charm to soften the edges. Just a small bar, guarded--literally--by a security presence, and a room filled with heavy, worn wooden booths that have seen better decades. Not years--decades. Look up, and you'll find the signature décor: a ceiling crowded with women's undergarments. Bras, mostly. Some scrawled with messages, others just hanging there, collecting time and dust in equal measure. The occasional pair of panties or something more adventurous makes an appearance, but the effect isn't quirky so much as... committed. Committed to a theme that's long overstayed its welcome. Dust is part of the aesthetic here, whether intentional or not. It clings to everything, including those ceiling relics, turning what might once have felt playful into something closer to a time capsule you're not sure should've been opened. And yet--there's life in the room. The ambiance, somehow, is still jovial. People are laughing, drinks are flowing, and there's a certain unspoken agreement among patrons to just go with it. The drinks are surprisingly cheap by Victoria standards, which certainly helps smooth over some of the rougher edges. And then there are the peanuts--toss the shells on the floor, no one's judging. In fact, it's encouraged. It's chaotic, a little grimy, and unapologetically itself. For me, it's a one-and-done. The kind of place you visit once, take in the spectacle, and check the box. But talk to the regulars, and you'll hear a different story. For them, this isn't a relic--it's a ritual. A place that hasn't changed, and that's exactly the point. Whether that's endearing or exhausting probably depends on how much nostalgia you're willing to drink with your beer. Cheers...

    Fun dive bar. Atmosphere is great. They have a full menu able to order and can make just about…read moreany drink that you want. Free peanuts when you get there and you throw the husks on the floors. Definitely worth a stop.
