Opened in February 2007 by a Scotland born husband and wife team who decided that this growing…read moreMennonite city needed some British influence. Located on the main drag, this cozy pub serves as one of the popular locations to grab a few drinks with your mates or dine in for a quick lunch with co-workers, and dinner with your family with more drinks in the evening. In the summer months they open up a small area on the sidewalk for your outdoor dining enjoyment. Right when you walk in, you have the bartender mixing drinks and tending to the few occupied stools at the counter and those playing darts. The hostess will gladly seat you at one of the tables along the windows or booths along the far wall in their restaurant "section". I use " " because the restaurant portion for this pub, for all ages, forms an L-shaped seating plan. The 18+ section is separated by a short black iron fence in the middle that holds a few more tables and larger booths. Sawney Beans is like any other pub with their weekday Pub Grub specials. One of the favorites is Tuesday for Pub Poutinerie Night - How Canadian of them ;) Another favorite are the Irish Nachos (Waffle fries, loaded with tomatoes, jalapenos, green onions and cheese with the option of adding chicken or beef for an extra charge) It's a small kitchen so they have a lunch menu that changes at 5pm for dinner. The lunch menu is small and not really British authentic but when i'm craving their delicious Chicken Quesadillas, this is the time to get them. Their dinner menu features more British Pub eating with titles like: - Bangers and Mash - Roast Beef dinner with Yorkshire Puddings - Shepherd's Pie - London's Burning Burger (ok not authentic but still yummy with a little heat) For a sweet tooth my favorite is: - Sticky Toffee Pudding with vanilla ice cream Another interesting option would be their deep fried Mars bar The bar serves up a variety of British ales as well as some domestic bottles. There's a decent wine list and a variety of British mixed cocktails and ciders. My personal favorite - Cider and Blackcurrent (Floundry Cider with a shot of Blackcurrent cordial) Two glasses in and I'm walking home feeling warm and tingly from my head to my toes! Steinbach, once a dry town, has succumbed to the British invasion and given the residents and surrounding communities a great place to eat and wet their whistles.

The first time I went we were put in a booth that had higher wallsand I felt very claustrophobic. The second time I went I went with a group of 8 and felt like they could barely accommodate us. It was very tight. We barely fit. Go elsewhere if you are more than 4 people. The other thing is that the music can be pretty loud. But it is supposed to be a pub. So that can be expected. The food tastes good but with higher prices, I would rather go elsewhere where I don't feel like a sardine.

It's a typical dive bar that's welcoming to all, as shown by some of the decorations inside. Even the washrooms scream social activism, which is kinda cool to be honest. I had the yellow dog platter without the jalapenos (not a jalapenos person inside hot dogs). It came with a soup of the day, which was a beef barley soup. The soup was amazingly good. The hot dog was also quite good. I do agree with Jennyfer A.'s comment in that the sauce was lacking, so I did drop a star there. Portion wise it was perfect for someone who was 75% hungry. Service was excellent here. Will definitely return whenever I'm in downtown and am looking for food nearby!

I was passing through town and made a stop to help at one of the Habitat Builds…read more After the build I wandered around town and literally chose this place due to the name and all the shite I was avoiding in the states by taking a travel across Canada. The place is a bit higher than a 3 but without 1/4 stars Yelp makes it hard to give more accurate reviews. For dinner ? The Donair ! I haven't had one in years and was super excited about finding it on the menu. It did not disappoint! Nothing beats a good Donair . I would say fresh cut fries should be added to the menu . They make meals that much better. Also one thing I like about dinning in Canada is that so many places have fresh cut fries. All in all a good experience. Lovely staff. Good food. Good beer.

Bring something new and exiting to an old tired neighbourhood and some people can't stand it. Pretty sad. We have had nothing but good experiences there and will continue to visit.

Maybe this place used to be enjoyable, but perhaps its run its course…read more Came in to watch MNF and the place is completely empty. Like I'm the ONLY patron in the joint. Ordered a Moosehead...flat. Ordered the bar tender's recommendation (can't even remember what that was); she takes my order and comes back saying that they don't have that meat tonight. Montreal Poutine was out too; so I order the BBQ poutine...she comes back 5 min later to tell me they are out too. No wonder there were no cars in the parking lot. I paid my $9.53 draught and went to Jollibee.

+.5 for service…read more Grizzly Goose replaced the former Bellamy's location, which is famous for their chicken fingers. Fortunately, while Grizzly Goose has modernized the restaurant to attract a younger crowd, they did keep many of Bellamy's staples, the chicken fingers being one of them. The chicken fingers recipe was largely unchanged from when it was Bellamy's, so quality is consistent. Their soups, however, I found to be very salty. I've had their lemon chicken rice soup and their potato bacon soup, and in both instances I found their salt content to be very high, and I'm usually someone who can tolerate high salt in foods. It might be better to stick to their salads (Bellamy's had a greek salad that this place carried over; didn't try it though). Service was good here. Unfortunately it's likely not a place I'd add to my regulars list, but if I feel like chicken fingers I'd certainly still consider here.

We upgraded the French fried to poutine and that was nice! We split all that between 2 people and it was all good and plenty of food.

My husband and I had the Friday night special that was the Mug, Spud and Steak. They cooked the steaks to perfection and were delicious! I had fries and corn as my sides, the fries were homemade and fantastic. My husband had the baked potato and corn. One thing we were disappointed by was that there were no fixings for the baked potato. We will for sure go back for that damn good steak for $14.99 despite the slow service. The only thing they need to work on is their servers but we were a large group and likely that was the issue. I should note that everyone that I talked with left very satisfied with their meals, and the plates I saw coming out all looked delicious. Price was reasonable and portions were perfect size.

One thing I do like about small towns is the great comfort food available…read more Parking is available along Park. Those who are observant will also notice that the other side of the parking lot was the location of the first air mail flight in Manitoba (1927). Look for the stone mini-monument. The inside looks like most other small-town pubs, with the dated wood paneling. The bar itself is on a raised area at the back. There is a dance floor as well, but it seemed like nobody used it. There is an actual mini-liquor store in the very back, around the back of the bar counter. Good to know as the local MLCC (government liquor store) closes early most days. The other thing to mention is that this hotel also has a Chinese restaurant, accessed through a side door next to the bar counter. See my review of Lake View Restaurant. On Fridays and Saturdays, there is a steak night. Seriously, you have to hit this up. I had the 16oz T-bone. This dish comes with onion rings and coleslaw by default. You can pick between wedges and fries (I chose wedges). The steak is one of the better ones in recent memory. No gristle or tendons, and a very decent cut. Served with sauteed mushrooms on top. The bun was meh, and the onion rings and potato wedges were also nothing special. I enjoyed the coleslaw though. Really liked how they didn't drown the thing in dressing. 4 stars for the steak, and 3.5 stars after factoring in the sides.

If you're coming here simply for the atmosphere and maybe to have a drink after an event downtown, you'll probably have a good time here. My most recent visit was for wing night on a Wednesday. I have to say, their wings are pretty average. The wing sizes are about the same as Smitty's, which aren't very big. The taste was fine though. Service can be hit and miss, as you can imagine in a busy place like this. It's still a good place for drinks and any events. Don't expect much in terms of their food though.
