Well didn't order any food because it was pretty late when we arrived. However, the prices seem pretty high versus other bars and/ pubx. They had about 12 different beers including an imported stout, local craft beers and some European beers also. For soda, they had Pepsi products. Service was good with a pretty attentive bartender. She provided friendly and fairly quick service. lathe ambiance felt like an old English style pub with the additional trivia night area in the back. read more

Food and service very great and on par with all good pubs. Only downside was it was karaoke night so got very loud.

This pub is dirty, and the food disgusting. I used the handicapped washroom, and it was filthy. I ordered wings, and I swear they must have been a couple days old and refried several times. Will never step foot in this place again. My husband had the steak and Guinness pie and said it was good. The service was good. I was mad at my self for not sending mine back. read more

Good service, friendly staff, bar food. Nice collection of craft on draught. Outdoor "patio" is simply chairs in the parking lot. read more

We ended up here by accident, as we had planned to have dinner at another restaurant, not realising it was only a carry-out place and not a sit-down resto. However, I think that was our good luck. The service was wonderful. The food was excellent. The 3 of us ordered 2 appetizers and they were huge but eaten very quickly, both the spinach dip and the cauliflower disappeared quickly. The portions were very large, so we had not as much room left for dinner as planned. My souvlaki was great - except for the so-called tzatziki, which wasn't even a close relative. The baked pasta dish was excellent, and my son raved about his club sandwich so much that I think I will have to brave the place again some day to try it. The big problem was the noise level. With mostly only one other table occupied it was so loud we couldn't carry on a conversation at all, despite sitting at opposite ends of the dining room. It made us pack up and leave pretty quickly. And yes, a student hangout is likely to be loud, but I really think there must be something about the architecture or finishing materials that accentuates the noise, because it was not just loud, it was unbelievably loud. So on all counts, food, service, pricing, it really hit the mark, but the ambiance is not for family dining. Maybe Sunday Lunch while the students are still sleeping? read more

It was pretty good food and fun atmosphere. Lots of Mac students with friends and groups. Their Trivia Nights are a blast. Our server was really on top of everyone in the trivia night area which made it very easy to ask for anything we needed. The only thing stopping me from giving it a higher score is how unclean and unmaintained the restrooms are. I know you can't expect much from a pub but... read more

I had lunch today at the Snooty Fox. I ordered a pound of wings and a Diet Coke. There were quite a few wings and they were a good size. I ordered them with Lemon Pepper and was expecting a spice/rub. But it was lemon juice with pepper which was overpowering at times. Plus it made the crispy wings a bit soggy in places. I'd order wings there again but not Lemon Pepper. I used the washroom before I left. They could use a renovation because as I was walking downstairs (washrooms are in the basement), there was a gross smell of dirty washroom. Krystina was my server. She was friendly and helpful. read more

I came here for dinner with a big party. I got the barbecue chicken sandwich, the beef soup, and tried a large variety of appetizers. The quality of the food was mostly pretty standard for bar food; however, their barbecue sauce was very sour, and guacamole was watery. The soup was also very watery and salty, and I would definitely not recommend it. The server was friendly, and the portions were pretty large. The environment was also fairly standard for a bar. The main problem I had with Snooty's was the price. I debated between giving Snooty's 1-2 stars, but settled on 1 star because the cost of the food was too expensive for its quality. It didn't help that the server asked if "I would like soup, fries, or salad with my burger" and my if I would like my "chicken breaded or non-breaded," without mentioning that both the sides and the breaded chicken costed extra. Overall, I would not recommend Snooty's for food, unless you're going primarily to be with friends. read more

Came here with a friend to celebrate end of exams as this is one of my favourite bars to grab food and a drink in the student area near campus However this time was not the greatest experience, it was quite packed as many other groups were also celebrating something and therefore food took quite some time (the server did come and apologize quite a few times, so it wasn't too big of a deal) We were fine as the appetizer came and lasted until the main course arrived. However when the food arrived I was super hungry but was disappointed to realize the daily pasta I ordered was luke warm and borderline cold. The cheese on top of the pasta didn't even melt when I was eating it. The garlic bread on top was also good as usual but the pasta no. I normally love the food at snootys but this time I was disappointed Would be 2 stars if it wasn't for my past experiences at snottys being good The drinks at snootys are also decent but not spectacular. read more

The Snooty Fox - Daily Pasta - Pubs Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

Workers - Rude owner. The kind staff that work under him are carrying the place. Quality - Only had drinks all the times I went, pretty standard quality. Owner - Just wanted to emphasize that he's unprofessional and rude.. lol. If nearby options for bars weren't so scarce, buddy probably would be out of business imo. read more

Would give no stars if I could. This place has really gone down hill.. Firstly, it's not even clean anymore. The bathrooms are the most disgusting, secondly, the food comes in bagged now? Literally bagged potatoes. Someone ask Jordan how far he'll go cutting food costs & raising prices just so John doesn't notice.. Third, forced to tip.. the ONLY server there that I will tip is Krysta. She's the only one who earns it, she's nice & helpful. Get better cleaners & food. Your breakfast poutine isn't what it use to be, I can't imagine how the rest is anymore. read more

I got charged $18.50 ... yup $18 for mediocre tacos. It had one layer of cheese ... one. I'm livid. Great atmosphere for hanging with friends otherwise and getting a few beers. Oh they have karaoke on Thursday I think. Mediocre beer selection. The food, such a rice, don't even bother getting them, has a bucket full of sauce, disgusting. read more

A great spot for McMaster students to grab a drink and have a bite to eat. I've been here between 5-10 times and would not mind returning. The restaurant does have some issues that should be fixed up to give customers a better experience! I would give 4 stars but the last visit really turned me away from the Snooty Fox. Pros - I love the food here! Most likely the best nachos I have tasted (delicious and consistent) - Great drink menu, many local craft beers on tap/bottled - Close to the university and in the heart of Westdale - Prices are good for the quality! Cons - No matter where you sit, it is always loud! I would not suggest coming if your main goal is to socialize - Service has declined over the past year. Last time I went, it took them over 1 hour to get us food/drinks and then took another 30 min to get the bill (which they overcharged me twice) - It is difficult to get a hold of a waitress - Washrooms are filthy and the area is very tight read more

Is there any other bar in Westdale? There may be now, not 15 years ago when I lived here. The only place to go have a drink, play darts, eat decent pub food. I have too many memories here, all of which probably ended up as an embarrasment for me, none of which I regret. read more

I had been here a few times and its always been decent, like 3/5 stars. However, I went today and it was vomit inducing. I had the Canadian Burger with fries. The burger was decent but the fries were about a month old. They were cold and disgusting. They have the distinction of being the worst fries i've ate in the whole of Hamilton. Definitely not worth the 28 dollars I paid for the burger and a beer (after a 15% discount for the disgusting fries). This is a very pricey, run down pub. it literally looks like its falling apart. However, the food was not even half as bad as the absolutely terrible service. The young, blond lady who served me was rude bordering on confrontational. I've worked in the industry for years and this was by far the worst service I've experienced. When I wasn't getting cut eye from this young woman I was being insulted by her. She knew nothing about the menu and really seemed upset to be there. Serving is a privilege, for her it wasn't even a duty, just an annoyance. She made me feel like shit. It was terrible, disgusting and I will never return. Not because of the food, but because of the service. read more

I used to come here for drinks all the time when I went to McMaster. It had a reputation of being the place to be on certain nights, I think it was Thursday nights. I don't see anything special about this place. I think you will have a good time here if you go with a big group, or if you know a lot of the regulars. I can't comment on the food quality or service.

Before my moving home, WHP got together here. It was our first time sitting here. Nice beer selection though I can't drink much. Such good feeling talking drinking with friends. I will miss Hamilton a lot miss my dear friends read more

The Snooty Fox - a plate of fries and a bowl of dip - Pubs Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

One of my favourite mac pubs. Used to go there on Mondays for their $2.50 drink night and Friday nights! Always a blast and great pub food. Occasionally I'll go in for some food if I am in the area. Lots of good memories at this pub. Can't complain. As mentioned it is more of a university pub, but lots of people go for the great drinks and good food. Definitely worth a try! Highly recommended read more

Another McMaster student life classic! This place is always filled with students and is always a fun time!

Forced tip even though service wasnt great. The restaurant owner demanded tip in a pretty aggressive way

A great little place near Mac with a great student atmosphere. The food we ordered (Vanier Cup Nachos) was great and satisfactory for 3 guys. Great selection of beer and they have great specials. They have an area to play darts which is a nice addition to the establishment. Only negative is the washroom, not the cleanest or nicest washroom, but suitable for a student bar I guess. read more

Service and food are decent, but the food alllllways takes like ~45mins to arrive. I quite like their steak and guinness pie and sheppard's pie though. read more

It's alright for a bar that services largely a student clientele. The beer selection is not bad, and the food is ok. However, the food is definitely overpriced for the location and what you are getting in terms of both quality and quantity. You are paying downtown Toronto prices in a small Hamilton neighbourhood. I guess it is called the "snooty" fox for a reason... read more

Really great place to hangout with friends and grab a drink or meal. Always a fun time.

Bad food, slow service. Took too long to take my order, took too long to get my food. Paid $4 to make my fries poutine, gave me less fries, gravy was watery, cheese was gross. Upset I gave that place my money. Washroom was also gross, clearly hasn't had a decent clean in a long time. 2 stars because the waitress was nice, should be 1. Bad - that fox has nothing to be snooty about. read more

I wandered into this place mostly because I had observed it from across the street while at My Dog Joe's. I recently moved here from Chicago, and I was looking for a new bar/restaurant that was not a chain, and within close proximity to Main Street. I immediately liked this place. The interior resembles that of a "hole in the wall" London pub, which I took a liking to. In the back of the place there is always a nice fire going. It seems like this place has a tendency to attract the obnoxious frat boy crowd, but if you can ignore that, it has other charms that compensate for it. The prices are reasonable, and I was very impressed with the menu. As far as pub fare goes, I rarely expect much more than burgers and other fried items. This joint has much more. I ordered the bison burger, and loved it. A bison burger on the menu at a pub! Doesn't get much better than that. read more

probably the best student pub in hamilton. the late night platters are awesome, and breakfast is really good too. great atmosphere

I waited 25 minutes at the Snooty Fox for the server to ask if I wanted a drink. They were not busy, the server was not welcoming or friendly. When I paid the server gave me the wrong change... which is not a big deal, everyone is human. My main concern was the lack of attention/service given to customers. read more

Went here recently for a quick bite to eat. We are not "pub" types, but it was convenient for us. We had the "Catch of the Day." This turned out to be a salad with snapper. Wasn't expecting the Catch to be salad, but it turned out to be tasty. Added some fries to fill our palette. Food was brought quickly, was tasty and well presented. Service was gracious and friendly. Our only problem was that we sat too near the front door and there was a bit of a chill when the wind blew in. Fortunately, we were in and out quickly. read more
