This has such a great fun vibe the moment you walk through the door. We were seated quickly, drinks and food arrived fast. The big bad bacon burger was just as its name implies it was big. Lots of bacon and beef patty was tender and well cooked. The restaurant is very clean. The staff were pretty great too and attentive. If you're looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat this place is pretty good. We found their menu online before we went.

Nice looking pub inside. Arcade in the back. Tonnes of tables, but I imagine it get's hectic in the summer. We were here in Jan, and it was fairly quiet. Staff were all friendly. Food was great too, with a pretty good menu to choose from.

Great place, deceptively large (stretches back to pool tables and games for those interested). We were chasing poutine after sampling it on the ferry over and loving it! We went for a mix of plates to share (see picture), aforementioned poutine, Korean chicken, fried pickles, clam chowder (we wanted to compare to our first one we had on the Oregon coast). This was washed down with a lovely local IPA and a tasty bloody Mary (designated driver on diet pepsi). The clam chowder wasn't as good HOWEVER it was very reasonably priced and was tasty. The poutine was hearty and generous. Pickles were spot on, nice and chunky with a good bite on the crunch (as was the chicken). Servings were large enough to require a take out box. Overall a lovely, tasty, well hosted experience!

We visited this place twice in a road on our two day stay in Ucluelet! The first day we got fish and chips, chowder and elk burger, the food was tasty, fresh and quick considering how bussy it was! We came back the second day just for drinks and to enjoy the pool tables and arcade games and we got wings and salad to take out. Both days the service was great, friendly, attentive, we got a lot of local tips about the area. Theatmosphere is just great! We had so much fun both days! We are planning to come back just to visit this place again!

Takeout order of the big bad bacon & onion burger to go to bring back to our hotel. Hot and fresh after a 3 minute drive! Burger was flavourful and juicy!! They weren’t lying when on the menu it says be hungry or have leftovers! My wife and I will definitely have to eat in at the restaurant next time and enjoy some games as well!

Arrived 8pm, immediately seated, ordered within 5 mins, and food arrived quickly. The food tasted amazing and fresh! Glad we ate here!!! Left just after 9pm. Servers were friendly and very good! Highly recommend! The battered fish was perfect, fresh and not oily or too battered, the salmon burger was very good, the linguini tasted super and the draft very good.
