Up, however is a welcome change on the drinking scene, and fills a gaping hole in the previously pub-dominated nightlife sector. Decor: awesome -upstairs above the hugely successful Garrison on Queen St, tasteful and subtle lounge-bar feel. Wine: GREAT list, most good global regions represented very well, some interesting grapes, and nice to see HIGH quality Canadian bottles. Prices are really impressively reasonable for such good wine, and potentially pretentious surroundings ;-) Service: Knowledgeable and very friendly. DEFINITELY one for my 'must-do' list each time I'm in town!

Seating about 20-30 people, this wine bar has a lot to offer. Great selection of wine both by the bottle and by the glass, easily broken down by taste profile to make choosing easier; good selection of traditional cocktails, beers, tequilas and scotch's. Although one can't order food from downstairs, they do offer great little cheese plates and meat trays that are ready to go on demand. We were there on a Wednesday night, which just happens to be their tasting night... Although I wasn't in the "mood" for a beer tasting, having the owner cotinuosly bring us a little sampler of the beers being offered made it hard to resist. We had a bottle of wine and a couple cocktails and ended up with a cheese plate and meat tray before the night was over. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. You can be sure that this will be a regular spot when I am in Fredericton on business in the future.

They were nice enough to let us know that we could sit in whatever restaurant we wanted and order from any of the three menus. So we opted for the more traditional restaurant , Catch, as we evaluated the menus. The view was beautiful despite the weather. Service was great. Tonight we ordered: Woodstock salad with added chicken, replace the goat cheese with blue cheese. Salad was good, chicken topper was okay. Caesar salad was topped with the most yummy almost candied bacon. I'm not a big bacon fan - but this was perfect. Tomato bisque which came with a side of mini grilled cheese. This made me exceptionally happy. Kraft dinner, a treat my child was very happy about. Delicious warm sourdough bread was offered to start. I thought it was adorable at the end of the meal that they gave us each mini four packs of peppermint tic tacs.

The Dip is classy, and has by far the best, and coolest atmosphere for a fun night out in Fredericton. Directly on the water, good menu, friendly staff and great location with lots of free parking in the new Delta hotel. Wine list is small but good, and because it is reasonably new the service is a little patchy, but I get the sense they are quickly working things out!. Definitely a must-do for citified visitors to Fredericton. Dress up or down, you will feel comfortable.

No complaints about this Delta Hotel on the Saint John River in Fredericton…read more Nice view out the window when booked with a room on the river side of the building and it overlooked the large patio and outdoor pool. The wifi worked perfectly and the TV was a 55" and easy to use. We rented a movie for about $20 which was a fun addition to a great night spent here. We sneaked out late in the evening and snooped the event spaces which were numerous and obviously a significant part of this hotel's business. When zipping around in and out of our room, I was very happy with the elevators which had zero lag and were easy to use with the responsive card security system they have. The staff was super helpful when little things came up, so thumbs up there! Even though we were burning the candle at both ends that night, I squeezed in a quick dip in the outdoor pool after brunch before checking out and it was great! Water was warm and it was easy to find a towel at the indoor pool and then zip over and jump in for a refresher. Very cool that there is a dock at this hotel so if you arrive with your boat, there isn't a problem. And no boat? No problem! You can rent a peddle boat for a fun activity. Also there is a scooter rental spot on the side of the building so you can easily check out the trail system that runs along the river bank. Would love to go back and try that! The brunch at the restaurant was awesome! I got the revered New Brunswick style lobster roll, along with a seafood chowder and it was delicious! Friend got a granola cereal bowl, and fruit parfait and it was all excellent, including our table, right by the window by the patio area. We could have opted for eating outside in the glorious sunshine too. I asked our server to hang in there while I went for a quick dip in the pool when waiting for our order. We ended up bringing our stuff down to our table as the time dragged on past the 11am deadline since we were enjoying the moment. Check out the photos, and I highly recommend getting out of the downtown and into this place unless you really enjoy the urban environment as part of your visit.

Also ordered three of the breweries beers-whistle pig stout, Irish red and strong ale. (6:15pm) The loaded fries was a HUGE serving...crispy fries with plenty of toppings. It was plenty for three to share along with the other appetizers. The pierogis were delicious and cooked great. The bacon garlic fingers were well cooked (least favorite). The meatballs were amazing!! The glaze and bacon made it my favorite of all!! One warning... This is a bar and some of the regular patrons use the most interesting language with freeness and ease....may be a little off putting for some guest

Good food. I ordered a beer with some oysters as an appetizer, followed by a delicious brown-bag…read morefried fish (haddock, I believe) and a bowl of chorizo chili. Everything was excellent -- I basically inhaled the chili. The menu even included notes on pairing beers with each entrée or appetizer, which I appreciated. One thing I really liked about the oysters was that they were served on top of the ice rather than in it. I've been to places where the ice melts and leaves the oysters sitting in water, which isn't ideal. This restaurant clearly avoided that mistake. The kitchen was quick with our food and clearly held itself to a high standard of quality. It had been a long day for me, so maybe it was exactly what I needed. The restaurant itself isn't too small to feel cramped but just the right size to feel cozy -- high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers, and a comfortable atmosphere. I would definitely come back.
