Its in the back of a lane, so its not off the street. Yet, Bracebridge is on the small side so, its pretty easy to find. I believe they also play some local bands. I'd say more about the bathroom being small and them having an ecclectic collection of photos and the like. Yet I do not fully recall all about the ins and outs. Its kinda vague for me. I find its always nice to look at that kinda thing. Makes me have an appreciation for not being the only Collector of the odd. The person that was working the day we went, absolutely phenomenal. He was on the cute side, super friendly and accomodating. I ordered the plant based burger with their in season, warmed beet and chard salad, yet what appeared on my dish was not plant based. I'm not entirely fussy about the juices of the beef or anything. However when I asked him about it, he promptly was willing to have the whole dish redone. He seemed rather appaled that he had made a mistake like that, given he was plant based himself. Perhaps it was me not being assertive enough, or perhaps something was missed when the order was taken, either way immediate action was taken to quickly rectify the situation. And it was awesome! This to me, bespeaks of going above and beyond, which is something I resonate strongly with because I am that type of way myself. Would definitely return.

We were told the kitchen was having some problems, so we waited. When we finally got our food it was extremely underwhelming. I had the pulled pork sandwich which was super dry, and there was supposed to be coleslaw on it, the coleslaw was just red cabbage and red pepper strips. The Caesar salad was mid. The others I was with ordered the Brunch breakfast plates; one had the pulled pork plate and the other had the brisket plate.... There was barely any food on each of their plates! It also looked like it just got thrown together. This place has a great ambiance and a good selection of beer, but the food and quality was not there. I don't think we'll be back.

He also owes my daughter $2000 in unpaid wages from 2 years ago. He treated her like garbage and yelled at her on several occasions. She has to go to the Ontario Labour Board to get what is owed to her, as well. She and her husband also put several thousands of dollars into this, and will likely have to take him to Court should he continue to ignore the very people that gave him a very generous helping hand when he needed it. Now that the restaurant is temporarily by the landlord because of rent arrears, we are more motivated then ever to get every penny back. That is the "core" of our experience with this restaurant.

I ordered a peach/ginger drink and it was strong but really tasty, highly recommend! A few non-drinking ladies were given great recommendations for virgin cocktails! The food was also really good, most people got burgers which looked really good. I got the duck pizza which was really tasty but the crust could use work, it was a bit too crunchy and flat, I'm not sure what style I would call it but I prefer either a lightly crisp crust with a chewy bite or a fluffy crust, this was neither. I am a bit snobby when it comes to pizza so I'm definitely particular but the toppings were really unique and tasted yummy! Next time I'll go for a burger for sure. The service was excellent, I had made special arrangements to bring in a group of 16 people, and, being moms to young babies, some of us showed up later/earlier, some left earlier/later and we all had separate bills, so I know it wasn't the easiest to manage but our server honestly nailed it. We all had our drinks done perfectly, food came out all at the same time, nothing was missed, and he was soo genuine and friendly. We really had such a nice time! Thanks so much HBH for making our night out so fun!!

Although some of the plates going out to the tables around us did look pretty tasty. We shared a beer flight and there were some very interesting flavours that stood out to me. The Happy Circumstance Cream Soda Lager. HOLY. That might be one of my fave beers. Think of a cream soda that has just a lil bit of beer carbonation at the end of the sip. That's what this tasted like. It blew my mind. Didn't really taste like beer at all. If you blindfolded me and told me it was cream soda mixed w/ a hint of beer I would've believed you. Incredible drink. It stood out the most out of all of the ones we tried. So much so that I can't even remember what the other ones we ordered were.

It is not overpowering. It even tasted good when it wasn't as cold. Also the City of Dreams Vienna beer - this was also good, but I preferred the Borland. Started off with a Charcouterie board. This was very good. The items on the board was a good variation to the usual cold cuts. It had 2 types of cheese, salami, sausage, warm fried bacon slabs, bread (could use more), pickled items and strawberries. It was yummy. We then had the beef dip, as recommended by the waiter. This was good. The meat on it's own could be seasoned a bit more though. The dip was just ok. Tasted like packaged. The Fries were done well. There was gravy - OK. Service was good. The server was very attentive. It was a very pleasant experience.
