Nice brewpub, I really liked the interior. 5 house brews we tried. A nice blond, a very good brown ale, an excellent ESB, and a good oatmeal stout. Good food right downtown, well worth a stop. If I lived in town I’d be a regular.

Checked this quaint little pub out last week with my wife and inlaws. A smallish bar area located centrally to a large airy pub space. Bright and airy with a bit of brewerania on the walls as well. The brewery itself is visible at the back of the bar. Solid takes on a number of mostly UK styles of beer. The food is very good and very inexpensive as well. No complaints on my end.

Nice clean micro brew bar with other Ontario microbrews on tap as well. Food was fantastic and surprisingly cheap.

Nice place, I like that they are a brew pub. They don’t always have the greatest service. But definitely worth a trip. As far I know its the only place in the city with any craft beer, it has a nice select of guest taps as well. great spot for locals

Great place. Old pub feel to the place. Lots of stuffed monkeys which is always a good thing. Brew equipment is right there where it can be seen, although i’ve never seen it used while i’ve been in there. Some beer vats down by the kitchen too. Service is always friendly and honest. Great selection. They got a bunch of different styles of thier own, plus they’ve got a bunch of guest taps so you’ll always find something you like... unless you like coors light or some crap like that. Food is good for pub food, I find it odd to put lettuce on nachos though. Overall, It’s a great pub, probably the best in the region.

Stopped in here for a couple of beers and a bit to eat on the way from Niagara Falls to Toronto. Excellent atmosphere and a beautiful space though the stuffed monkeys above the bar need some dusting I’d imagine that late into the night with a band blaring I’d be miserable, but for an early lunch it was great. No samplers offered, but they were happy to pour tastes and half pints. Food was reasonably priced and tasty. Some nice seasonals and a seemingly out of place IPA (it was quite good). Handful of other locals on tap, which is always nice to see.

Visited on a Saturday night last July, it’s a big open wooden bar with a Western feel and tanks in the corner, overlooking the highway and parking lot from four or five stories up. Live lively music and friendly waitstaff greeted us throughout the evening. The 9 brews on tap are all fairly average, good to try. Food was good, a tasty club and caesar salad. Nice place.

This is a small cozy pub in St. Catharines. On my visit it had five or six house beers on draught and about as many guest taps of local Ontario microbrews. The Anniversary ale and IPA were the highlights. Staff was friendly. We enjoyed our food.

2008-07/19. I swear I rated this before. Earlyish on a Saturday night. Service is friendly, waitress suggests I try the McAuslan Apricot when I say I liked the Strawberry Blonde, which would have been helpful if I wasn’t being too polite to say that the Strawberry was just the least offensive so far. Luckily, the Old Time and IPA were much better than the rest of their house offerings. The IPA actually being rather good. Food was ho-hum at first but the club sandwich grew on me. Burgers have been decent in the past. Simple but tasty pub food. Generous portions. Atmosphere is pub meets sports bar and lodge, but it works for the most part. You’re here to tick off ratings, or because theres few other quality joints in town. IPA is the best thing worth having a full pint of imho. The highlights are nice, making the stop worthwhile. A short drive up the 406 from the only movie theater town if you are staying in the area.
