   Loved our burgers. Strawberry faux-ito was nice and refreshing! Jenny Allen was a great acoustic singer. Our server, Nevada, was so kind and attentive. Always have a great time here!

   Not enough gluten free items on the menu. This is disappointing as it was in the restaurant at the Bay Shore. Same group of owners. Same chef.

   Not overly busy and took almost 45 mins for wings. Slow service and had to ask for things like side plates, water ect.

   Mixed views on this place. The good first. Fantastic atmosphere and establishment! Great service too! Live music was also awesome! The bad isn’t horrible but with a few touches in the kitchen it would be much better for the amount of money you’re paying. We had the fish tacos, which seeing them go by at first looked amazing. But sadly disappointing, as the fish was twice the size of the taco and had to much greasy beer batter on them. Also not much for toppings. Would recommend slightly smaller piece of fish cooked to perfection to start. Then add some more slaw and cilantro with a different sauce. We upgraded our fries for 6$ extra for sweet potato fries and a couple of chunks of Parmesan. Second main was bison fajitas. Also for 29$ sadly disappointed. Was a cube of bison cut into 4 big chunks which is horrible for chewing and making a fajita. Also there was zero seasoning. Came with 3x 6” shells that you couldn’t even fill. Also added a tiny portion of gaucamole if you could call it that for $4. Would recommend seasoning the meat and peepers better and even just slicing the meat better would be much better but also the portion for the price needs to be adjusted.

   Everything about this place was just bad. I like beer, but I struggled to find anything in their beer menu that I wanted to drink. We knew in advance that they have live music. But the music was terrible and do loud that it was impossible to ignore. The food was really poor value for money. We got better and cheaper in Calgary airport. The only positive was the food came quickly so even after spending 10 minutes deciding wether we should stay after arriving we were in and out in 40 minutes. Which was great to escape this place, but not the relaxing evening of food and a few beers that we'd imagined.

   Great food…best fish tacos I ever had. Live music early in the evening on a Friday night was a nice touch!

   Great place to eat. Food was a bit slow, but the service was excellent! Had a burger with fries, and the wife has a salad. Food was excellent!

   Great elevated pub food with excellent friendly service. The patio is dog friendly, beer was cold and the live music was fun! It was everything we were looking for after a long day of hiking before heading back to our camp site.

    Had dinner and watched game four of the Stanley Cup final here. Food was excellent (very generous portions!) and service was friendly and attentive. A restaurant manager was on the floor and mingled with people to check on how things were going. Great selection of beer on tap as well. Highly recommend this place 👍🏻
