Ahi tuna sushi press 3. Baja fish tacos. 4. Crispy chicken cobbs salad. All deserve praises. Delicious. Flavorful. Refreshing. The right crunchiness and flavor balanced. No grease. Due to this experience, I came for the 2nd time with another friend. Ordered: 1. Pretzel bites (signature)- huge. Salty and savory. Good but didn't leave much impression. 2. Brussel sprout (signature)- love at first bite for both of us! It's like you want to keep eating. Definitely reorder on my next visit. 3. French dip - friend said this is alright. 4. The main (signature) - not as juicy as i hope. Not dry per se but definitely could be juicier. I switched the fries to mix green. The salad is more enjoyable than the burger. Lol 5. Creme brule. Nth can go wrong with it. My friend finished the whole thing. I find it too sweet, but it's just preference. 6. Bake fruit tart - surprisingly really good (and surprisingly i finished all by myself too)..it was soft crusty 'pie' with fruits filling inside (seems like apple and strawberry). The strawberry hint of tartness bring the refreshing flavor and well balance flavor with the vanilla ice cream. Friendly and attentive service. Already plan to come back with another (new) friend.

5 stars because of the food and old pub vibes. Been coming for decades and cant believe I am just…read morewriting about it now. Location: Main Street Newmarket Parking: there's a tonne of parking (free) in the area. The best part is, if you park in the lot behind the pub you can go in through the backdoor. Inside: There are booths and tables. There are two long tables i. The middle with raised seats. You can also sit in the windows and people watch. This is the type of place that looks like it has not been updated in our lifetime. They put their money into keeping the food and drink tasty. Im cool with that. Staff: Everyone I've ever has serve us has been so nice. Food: I think the food is terrific period the last time I went. I had the grilled cheese with chicken. It was delicious and I am so glad that I got it. But everything here is delicious for everything I've ever gotten. And I think i've eaten a lot of things from the menu.it's not a pretty place to hang out. But for foodies, it's a good food place

Decent food for a pub! Pleasantly surprised. Great staff!! Would definitely recommend.read more

This place is open late (till 2am - a rare late night option around Newmarket, though they…read moresometimes close earlier) & the food can be quite cheap (wings are 50% off daily after 9pm), but the food is nothing to shout about. The wings were juicy & quite crispy. Curry wings didn't work as the curry flavour was not very fragrant & did not penetrate the chicken well. It was also under salted. Maple BBQ had a decent flavour.

First time going here. Will probably not go again. We were with a party of 20, and the waitress we…read morehad had just started working there. There was no manager on duty and not much other staff. Service, of course was slow. When the food finally came, my fish and chips had freezer burn on the fish. We all waited quite a while for dinner, however 3 of our people's orders were missed am\nd took an additional 15-20 minutes. There are numerous tv's in the restaurant which are muted.

The Bangers and Mash is a classic representation as it hits home with the blend between perfectly grilled sausage with mashed potatoes and onion gravy! The Guiness Lamb Stew is also perfect for the winter as the lamb is nicely cooked with the root vegetables and does enjoy well with a slice of bread!

Location: Main Street Markham…read more Parking: There's some on street parking, but good luck with that. Half a block away there's a huge free lot! Decor: Send an old Tudor looking building. The inside looks like a pub. A pub that hasn't been decorated since the 1980s. I know it can't be the original carpet but it hasn't been replaced in a while. There is a nice big bar some seating around it and then the dining area is separated by half wall. It's a smaller space but comfortable. There's tables. They set it up in twos and fours. There is a fireplace and it's nice and cozy to sit by there on a cold day. What's kind of cool is when the kegs come in, the building is really old so the floor shakes is the kegs roll in. The food: Typical pub fair. It's good. I wouldn't call it generously portioned but a proper serving. Lunch time there is always a chicken wing special. They're pretty good. I do like the fish and chips. Staff: Everyone's always nice. I don't know if they have a lot of stuff or if they just go through stuff but they're always seems to be different people every time I go. I don't know how they manage hire all the really nice people but they do! Will I be back? Of course I will I come all the time

If you compared the menu picture and actual drinks you can tell It doesn't look that great. The drink was very heavy on syrup or soda because there was no alcohol in it. I should've just gone to a chain bar to be quite honest. The vibe wasn't bad in terms of music and set up. Im quite surprised the non-alcoholic drink my girlfriend got was over $10. It's just sugar syrup! The service is pretty poor as well. Once the drinks were dropped, we never heard from our server again. The bill came and we got charged 13-15% service charge. It was a bit unfair to be paying that when the menu didn't have any disclaimers about this charge whatsoever. Sketchy bar! We were also told once we seated that we would get charge a cover fee because they were having an event later that evening. Like what?! Clubs downtown would never charge cover if its before a certain time for people who were already in and they were going to charge us after they sat us down? Highly don't recommend unless you just want vibes. LOL you can get vibes anywhere else you go to be honest.

I came to Dou Yin Bar aka DY Bar during their Soft Opening the past Saturday. My friends and I had a great time! The live music was very entertaining. This night, the duo were singing mainly popular mandarin songs that we know. Occasionally, you will have some brave souls that will take over the mic for a song for two lol. The food is alright - Popcorn chicken and Cuttlefish balls are typical items we see during Asian karaoke lol. I say skip the Ham Egg Noodles, unless you are SUPER hungry, the noods were way too soft for my liking. The cocktail drinks are super pretty and some were quite delicious. Since it was BOGO free during Soft Opening (until Nov 10), we ordered all 10 cocktails lol. I would recommend Kimochii, Berry Lady and Snowball :) The staff hardly speaks English, so make sure you speak slowly and use simpler words. Bring a friend who can speak mandarin would be helpful. If you want one of those nice booths with white couches, the staff mentioned it is minimum spending of $300, but I'm not sure how it works if you have a larger group. Perhaps, the next UYE here?

When we arrived around 6:45, there were still plenty of tables to pick. The staff let us choose wherever we wanted to sit. We decided to sit at a table right in front of the big screen to watch the game. Despite it being a busy night and the tables were full, service was still really good. The servers were really nice and attentive, and we received our drinks and food fast. We ordered: - BBQ Chicken Nachos ($19.50) 9/10. Big portion, chips were crispy, sauces were good. - Steak Frites ($18.00) 8/10. Fries were crispy. Steak was decent Overall, we wish we knew about this place sooner! We love the pub vibes here, service was great, prices are good, food was good, atmosphere was great. They even have a pool table in the back. Highly recommend coming here to watch a game on the big screen.
