Random turns out a wild success story ! We walked in here because otherwise we would have fainted . The soup of the day was mushrooms and warming . The fries were cut to perfection. Well Royal oak , we met some friends here , and we learned that this is the hang out place for the members on the softball league. It was great meeting you guys!

We just happened to stumble on this Pub after moving our daughter into her new place and my goodness - what a GEM! My daughter and I have food intolerances and Dee was just incredible going through everything to ensure that food was safe to eat and not only safe but just DELICIOUS! We will definitely be back and if we can manage to be there on a Tuesday - Trivia for sure!

First we had nachos for an appetizer. Was very tasty. Then my partner had the Winchester sandwich with poutine on the side. He absolutely loved it all! I had the maple glazed salmon with sides of basmati rice and veggies. It was mouthwatering. Only thing I would have added was a side of tartar sauce but I'm weird like that lol! For beverages we had strawberry daquiris and Molson Canadian draft. Obviously very delicious and the perfect accompaniment for the kareoke party that started at 9. Was a full house and there is definitely a lot of untapped talent in the clientele. An amazing evening with many memories made. I wish I remembered our severs name but she was fabulous

Thankfully we were adopted on a random Wednesday night at midnight. Was looking just for a beer, assuming that all kitchens were closed around and then so kindly the bartender asked us if we were hungry. I'll tell you, those were some of the best breaded wings I have had in a while. I am so interested in coming back the next time I'm in town. And what a perfect Guinness pour, every time. Highly recommend Very likely to return Thank you so much!

Hubby and I attended the kino festival monthly social held at this royal oak location. It’s a great spot for socials as they can rope off a section for your group and you get that intimate feeling. Service to our members was superb and the design of the section allowed easy mingling. We were pleasantly surprised but usually we both flake out and end up in a corner all by ourselves. As I said, the design gave everyone the chance to move around and socialize without disrupting the entire venue. We shared a simple plate of very tasty poutine. The gravy was extremely tasty and the cheese seemed to be the real article— something that is sometimes lacking. We will surely attend more if these events .

Good food, good beer, good atmosphere. Delicious food and smooth Guinness, what more can you ask for? Came from FL to see what Ottawa had to offer and was not disappointed. Absolutely will be back. 10/10

Really good poutine(just the right amount of curds) and draft beer. I am an american who visits Ottawa often but hasnt really hit any of the bars and i just wanted a laidback place to drink beer, blend in and people watch and catch some Hockey. This fit the bill

I walk into this location not knowing anything about it. I was just looking for a place to have something to lunch. Well I had a great experience from this pub. When i think about a pub the decore of this location is what I envision. Food and service were great. I ordered a cheese Philly stake with fries. The sandwich was great the fries were perfect. I hate when business give you half burned fried pre-blanched. Likely here they serve well cooked fries golden crisp. The guy at the bar, I think his name was Alex, was friendly and helpful. Great experience go try it out!
