My husband and I went to Campbell River to dig clams and pick up oysters on the beach, and stayed…read moreat the Travelodge near this pub. There wasn't much choice, so we just picked this closest one. My husband ordered a burger, but he didn't feel that the burger was any special. Coming from someone that loves burgers... that says something. I ordered the seafood penne; the sauce was too thick to swallow and so the dish was overall very dry. Chicken wings were on special that night, so we got it 10 for $3. I thought a pub wouldn't do chicken wings wrong, but all of them were over fried and dry, so we couldn't finish them. They also didn't know what honey garlic flavour means and just sprayed a lot of garlic salt on top. Both of us aren't pub-goers so we don't know if we were the weird ones for requesting that flavour???

The pins and ball was so small, didn't know what to think but it made it harder to adjust. The service wasn't that great, the lady in the bar was rude and the lady at the bowling left (maybe on break or shift change). The ambiance was fine, kids had a birthday in lane next to us. It has been a topic of discussion with several friends and family members.

The cod gyro plate was served with 2 pieces of cod and "build your own" pita and ingredients. Quite tasty. With two wines and an IPA, we had a $100+ bill Canadian. A bit steep for casual dinner fare for us-- a couple of Oregonians. We should have split the gyros plate and cut out the alcohol. Food and drinks are expensive on an island where everything has to be ferried over!

I went up and asked if he could play some rock in roll, he did not even acknowledge me. I thought a DJ was to play to the crowd, love all genres. He did play one rock in roll song and the dance floor filled up, one would think he would take that clue, nope, he went right back to techno and once again the dance floor was empty and he did not care. The final straw for us was when my girl friend went up to request a song and the DJ told her to F$#k off. I well be going the Whistle Stop in Courtenay going forward if i want to dance. I would like to say we sat at the bar and the bartender who was on he was fantastic.
