We just wanted something quick so ordered the poke nachos and the pretzel. Was surprised when our waitress asked if we wanted a slice of smoked cheddar melted on top! We're used to a cheese dip but when it came out, it was surprisingly good! Poke nachos were on point too! We devoured the food and enjoyed our beers! Beers were tasty! Seating outside was nice, we were street side and it does have a cover so were able to people watch as they walk by. It's by the water but I didn't see seating on that side. We asked the waitress if we could take our beers and check out the rest of the restaurant as there's another bar type section towards the water side. There's also a bar downstairs that's pretty cool where the bathrooms are! Bathrooms were an adventure to walk to but big pretty and clean!!! Definitely check them out as it's in walking distance of other touristy type spots!!

I've been here a few times already and liked it every time. However, in my last experience (which…read morewas this last weekend), my friends and I didn't have the best experience. We were four friends that came for happy hour. Here are the details: Service: we were helped by three different servers but the main server helping us seemed to have screwed up our orders. We each ordered our own individual dishes but in addition to that, we ordered the crispy cauliflower (3 in total). When the food came out, everything came with one of the crispy cauliflowers and we reminded the server that there should've been two more. However, a few minutes later, a different server brought out one more and was surprised to learn we order three and we were waiting for the third one. So a bit of an off service day. Food: food seemed to be okay. It was much better the previous times I had been there so I'm not really sure if it was just an off day in the kitchen or not.

Had a good time here. We had made a reservation for the Seahawks game and they had a place at the…read morebar reserved for us. The Cobb salad, and especially the chicken, was surprisingly delicious! Service was friendly even though they were busy, although some people at the bar didn't seem to know how to pour beer (I watched one waitress pour out ~5 pitchers of pure foam over the time we were there). It was a great environment to watch a game.

Food (Drinks): 1/3 Service: 0/1…read moreAmbience: 0/1 For being a pub on Granville Street it really is absolutely not up to par with any of the other options in the area. Firstly when we arrived nobody greeted us for I would say about 10 minutes even though the place was quite empty when we arrived, and when we finally received a table we were seated at a table that was wobbly, and the menus we received were stained and sticky, which got me immediately on edge about hygiene and made me uncomfortable. For drinks selection - nothing special that you can't get anywhere else, and the place being quite empty the vibe was quite boring too. I just felt uncomfortable being there and there isn't anything special about this pub that you can't get better anywhere else. We finished the one drink that we got and headed elsewhere. I wouldn't recommend this spot.

I shed a single tear for the memories and I'll never forget what it used to be.

Staying at The Sutton House, I had passed by The Ballyhoo a few times and I knew it was just a…read morematter of time before I decided to go check it out on a whim. This corner spot is neatly tucked away with a few outdoor seating spots, but the magic in itself is inside. The mix of vintage and old glam showcases the hybrid aesthetic. Perfectly described, The Ballyhoo definitely lives up to the over-the-top decor from their food offerings and styling. I managed to find myself arriving within happy hour and was super please I was able to bring my laptop out and get some work done without it causing anyone a fuss. The server I had was super friendly and she had all the tables she was handling in good spirit. After opting for a local draft beer and some bites, I kept over hearing how delicious the mozz sticks were. Now IDK how one levels up mozzarella sticks, but these truly were some of the best I've ever had. The dipping sauce was super spicy but bearable for anyone's heat preference and the breading and cheese inside had such a burst of flavor you wanted to simply inhale them. What had me in awe though was the cheese pull game. No need to fear about them being overdone not cooked enough, these babies were cooked to perfection with the cheese literally oozing out of each bite. I saw a few plates being served around and think this spot is definitely worth exploring.

More restaurant than pub. Good service and a nice clean place. Great menu and I loved the fish and chips and the bangers and mash. We cleaned both plates !

My friends got the fish and chips and beef dip (I think?). The fish and chips portion was huge. Small complaint - when we entered, the music was playing but once we got seated, it got turned up very loudly. Granted, we were sat under speakers but it was incredibly loud to the point I felt very overstimulated by sounds and had to put headphones on the whole time while I was there. I understand it is a pub but it was hard to hear the people sitting next to me with the music blaring. I would come back again because the food was good and it is free on your birthday. However, I'd probably go for lunch when it's less rowdy.
