Had a lovely time at the Bar Humbug Pop-Up for The Walrus Pub and Beer Hall. It was cozy, the service was great, and I definitely felt the holiday spirit. The decorations were so cute and inviting! I enjoyed the festive drinks too!

The bar humbug experience was generally disappointing. The festival cocktails were over complicated and not well thought out. The location seemed like an after thought and of a generally unused space. Also disappointed there wasn’t access to the entire menu and happy hour.

Had a very good peppercorn striploin steak. Angela was a great server and we could enjoy a good conversation as it was not loud

My son made a mistake, by not completely reading the menu items description. He was not expecting a pepper corn steak, and did not eat all of it. The server did offer him a different on tray, after realizing his mistake, but he declined. A manger came to talk with him and told him he would adjust the bill. This was unexpected, because it was my son’s mistake.
