I've been to Julio's multiple times and must acknowledge that the staff are great--friendly,…read moreprofessional, and hardworking. The decor is funky, and the food is standard bar fare. However, I cannot continue supporting Julio's due to the signage I saw on February 18, 2025 that remains as of late March 2025, despite community pushback. The bathroom signs were changed to "Balls at birth" and "No balls at birth"--a clear shift from the "Balls" and "No Balls" signage I saw earlier this year. This deliberate change sullies what was once playful bowling alley humor into something that feels deeply unwelcoming to me as a customer. I am straight, with wonderful queer friends, and I can tell you that when a place doesn't welcome the people you care about, it's hard to feel truly welcome yourself. This isn't a subtle shift--it's a clear statement about who is welcome and who isn't; it's an unnecessary and divisive change. On top of that, the owner has publicly shared posts for years (and as recent as January 2025) that many would find racist and transphobic. While a few of these offensive posts have since been deleted, they were accessible to the public at the time and are a part of a larger pattern that raises serious questions about the intent behind the bathroom signs. What might have started as "just a joke" now feels far more intentional, especially considering the owner's views, which seem to align with the exclusionary message conveyed by the signs. The contrast between the staff's service and the Julio's discriminatory, un-funny signs is jarring. These hardworking employees deserve to work in a place where all customers feel comfortable spending their money.

I am from out of town and visiting creston curling. So many in the town were welcoming and…read morefriendly, but I was pretty taken aback and my heart sank to see open displays of bigotry via the bathroom signs at Julio's (and learning about the owners vitriolic online presence). It appears the owner doesn't care, but as a visitor, I can't feel safe here and can't recommend this restaurant. It's a disappointing blight on the wonderful town of Creston.

The Library Lounge has a very old English Gentlemen Club look and feel with bookshelves on the walls ( hence Library ). I say amazing customer service is that the restaurant staffs are very accommodating and also courteous, while we were waiting for our table, ( they had a very very busy Wednesday night ), even the Bar Tender came to chat with just keep us happy. We ordered: To start : Beef Barley Soup / Borscht both were done well but it took about 45 mins. before our soup appeared, our server did communicate to the kitchen but still our soups were not ready until later! I do not blame the server at all, but I saw a few tables before us got their soups or salads and they all came after us. Oh well, sometimes the kitchen staffs are hard to deal with. Steak & Prawns - Cooked to perfection, the meat is slightly on the lean side for my taste, but still very flavourful. Seafood Pasta - Tomato based sauce filled with Halibut, Salmon, Mussels etc. Creamy and full of fresh tomatoes, the pasta can be a tad more al dente and will be perfect! Nice ambience, with live music, this is a great spot to come enjoy a relaxing evening with good food and wine, and of course the very friendly staffs and even fellow dinners!!

We were brought the wrong drinks at first, then they were out of the wine I had ordered. This is not at fault of the staff, I was offered a different wine on the menu, more expensive and was charged the higher price; they should have honored the original price of the wine I initially ordered. The vibe is unique and different, something I always appreciate. Try the burgers, my husband said it's the best he has ever had.

The atmosphere was lively, the waitresses and waiters were helpful, and the drinks were great. We would definitely come back again. Food: 1. Fish and Chips: The dish was well cooked and had great flavours. The fish was crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Would recommend. 2. Veggie Burger: The beets and sauce inside the burger really gave it a nice flavour. Would recommend. 3. AAA Alberta Beef Melt: The beef slices were very tender and melted in my mouth. The au jus was well seasoned and tasted great with the sandwich. Would highly recommend. 4. Cod Tacos: The fish was well cooked, but lacked some flavour and tasted bland. 5. Heid Out Burger: The BBQ sauce had a nice flavour, but the beef patty itself was a little under seasoned. 6. Char Siu Beef Wrap: The portion size was good and the enoki mushroom had a great favour. The beef however, lacked some flavour and tasted bland. 7. Spicy Pickle Sticks: Well seasoned and the pickles were still crispy. Paired well with the cider. Drink: 1. Red roof cider: This was probably one of the best cider I've tasted. It was a little on the sweet side, but I would still recommend it. 2. Flight of Beer: A great way to taste some of the restaurant's beers. Atmosphere: Lively and a good spot to relax after a long day of work. Service: The staff were very friendly and the food came fast.

It's well worth the drive with plenty of parking on the street and close by. It's not a quiet place, being a pub, but doubly so when the Jays are playing the Yankees in the ALDS up two nothing and 12 runs having been scored in the first four innings. If you're looking for peace and quiet go elsewhere. It's an interesting place, with plenty of charisma. The staff writer as great, helpful and accommodating of perhaps a little prone to tending the tables instead of us at the bar. That said we didn't feel neglected at all even though we were left pretty much alone after our food was dropped. My chicken souvlaki was quite good, with big chunks of chicken breast that was very nicely cooked, not dry at all, not easy to accomplish. The potato and rice pilaf was also very good, as was the tzatziki and the pita. Solid meal! The lovely K had the Veggie Alfredo with Caesar salad and garlic bread which was plentiful, piping hot and tasty. The salad we shared was shaved romaine with diced red onion, dill and apple cider vinaigrette. It didn't sound good to me, but we ordered it anyway, and it was really good. Would we go back, hell ya!!
