    Name of place

    First time visiting Victoria and found this place. So glad we did! Drinks were top notch, food was amazing especially the Brussels Sprouts. I can't stop thinking about the balsamic dip! It is a must try. Will definitely come back.

    Good ambiance, for drink or a snack. The bar is fully stocked and the food is ok. Service can be slow sometimes so if you're not rushed it's the perfect spot.

    Great service in an old school beer/whiskey bar. Tons of choices. I recommend having time for tasting a few.

    Lots of alcohol to chose from!

    Pretty decent amount of people when we went in - I like the variety of distillery. Bf and I went down the strip from other bars and discovered this one. Took about 15 minutes for the service, granted there's a good amount of people.

    Stopped in a couple weeks ago on a cruise. This is a cool bar. If you're looking for poutine, this is the place to get it. Fresh cut fries, silky gravy, cheese curds, bacon. Absolutely perfect. Great draft list and very friendly staff. Hope to get back next time I'm up that way.

    The menu as of December 13, 2015.

    Haven't yet had the food though it looks great. Wonderful selection of beers on 50 taps and excellent service. If you don't like sitting at the bar seating is limited.

    High quality drinks. Great maple old fashioned and sazerac. Yummy homemade chips and awesome but spicy Thai lettuce wraps. Sweet but busy and hard to catch waitress. A TON of beers on tap. Wish we lived here to check out often! Cool long bar and ladder on industrial bar bottle set up. Cozy booths at edge. Bet it gets packed late!

    It's fine. It's a bar. The poutine was fine. The service was lacking. The beers were good (but that's hard to mess up).

    The Irish Times is such a fantastic find in a lovely part of town. We spent a great evening sitting…read moreout on the sidewalk, but the interior is just as impressive--a beautiful and historic building dating back to 1894 with very lively music playing inside. I was honestly shocked by how good the food was. I had initially assumed it might be a spot primarily for tourists, but a dear friend of mine who is a local mentioned that people in Victoria actually love coming here. She even noted that some friends from her children's school were there just the night before for an alumni weekend. The menu absolutely exceeded my expectations. I was blown away by the fish and chips; the fish was moist with a light batter and wasn't oily at all. The burgers, Irish stew, and shepherd's pie were all delectable as well. The real standout, however, was the sockeye salmon in a pesto preserved lemon broth--it was so addictive that I wish I could replicate the recipe at home. It is very easy to see why this spot has received so many accolades, and I would love to return the next time we are back in Victoria!

We are big fans of traditional fare, but the Block is a place we are so glad we experienced and will certainly return utilizing the knowledge we garnered during our first experience. A big thank you to for helping us through picking one price fixe January exploration of your local restaurants and filling it with other ala carte additions. As we often do we ordered far too much food, wanting to explore everything off a menu that is far reaching. Not sure if our additions worked with the price fixe menu, but we sure enjoyed checking everything out. The interior is interesting with the addition of structural steel in the space to keep this heritage building (I think) standing tall for a few generations. We sure hope it's still here for a long while and will most likely come again the next time we are in Victoria. That is saying a lot as there are a wide range of restaurants in the neighbourhood, but you do want to check the Block out!

Restrooms are located upstairs, and there are no elevators, so it is not wheelchair accessible. Yelp waitlist and Yelp Reservations are available on the app, so I made a reservation and the host greeted and seated us as soon as we entered. The vibe is fun, they have a great playlist playing in the background, and a big drink menu. The food menu is pretty big, and they specialize in Korean style roasted chicken. We ordered: * Rose Pasta Appetizer - could've been an entree. It was so good and my favorite dish of everything we ordered. The sauce was so good, we saved the leftover sauce on the plate to dip our roasted chicken. 5/5 * Pan Fried Chicken Noodle - basically yakisoba noodles. Decent but a bit bland. 3/5 * Butter Curry Roasted Chicken - came with Korean rice cakes on top. 4/5. Chicken was tender and I loved that it was boneless. * Spicy Chili Roasted Chicken - we originally wanted the Volcano flavor, but the server warned us that it was really spicy, and suggested the spicy chili instead. We enjoyed the flavor of this one more than the curry one. So good! 5/5 Our server was super nice, and food came out quick! I highly recommend stopping by if you're craving some good chicken!!

We were seated right away when we got there, and there were 8 of us. I got the soy garlic. The sauce absorbed by the rice roll was so good.

Those were interesting and good as well, but I enjoyed the chicken and rice roll more. The server was attentive, and the food didn't take long. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for a casual dining place.
