Coach & Lantern - Hamilton, Ontario

Date of visit: Sunday April 21, 2024 What a cool little pub. We had never been here before, but our guest had and thought we would like it. 
It has all of the charm and decor of a beautiful British pub. The restaurant is located in the back of the historic beauty ... of the Ancaster area building. It is very unassuming and it was a great surprise to ‘discover’ it. We walked in through the outdoor patio - but since it wasn’t open we can only assume the patio would be a gorgeous place to enjoy dinner. We ordered Beef Dip Sandwich, Salmon Tacos, and Chicken Stir Fry. The food was fantastic. I loved the beef sandwich; the stir fry & fish tacos were enjoyed by others as well. Our waitress was very friendly and spicy - which we loved. She had an edge that you’d expect (and hope for ) from a cool British pub. We had a great time with her as our server. This restaurant is very cool, and I cant wait to go back. (maybe eat on the patio?) Read more

We're always looking for new restaurants to check out. Last night we dined at the Coach and Lantern. A very cozy place, and a lot of fun. You must have a reservation. There are not many tables and it fills up quickly. There is a ... great bar area where you can sit too. The menu looks good, and there are daily features. A small selection of wines red and white. Beer 🍺🍻 on tap, Caesars and other mixed cocktails. Very friendly staff. They were quick and checked in on us. The table we sat at was a bit small for 4 people, the girls were good at taking away anything that finished or we no longer needed. Plenty of Parking, it is located just across the street to the left of the building. We were here in April 2024. Its not warm enough to sit outside. Their courtyard looks like it would be pretty cool in the summer, and you can eat outside. We enjoyed their feature Pickerel and chips, their Beef-tips, shrimp 🦐🍤 appetizer, spinach dip, fried pickles and deep fried cauliflower. All were delicious! Definitely would eat here again, or even pop on for some live music 🎵🎶 and sit at the bar. Cheers! Read more

Super cool vibe and building, lots of character and a great atmosphere with live music on the second floor. I didn't love my meal but my husband's was decent. Definitely a good spot to grab a drink and hang out.

Edit : we went back for another dinner, a group of 12. Food was great as usual and the lady who served us was amazing. Thanks again. Three of us stopped in for a late lunch. I had been here a lot when I was younger, but mostly got drinks. The ambience ... hasn’t changed, it even seemed warmer. The beer was cold and the lunch was hot. We ordered Traditional Fish and Chips, Roast Beef Stuffed Yorkie and I had a Coach Burger. All orders came in a timely fashion, hot and tasty. Although I’ve never had dinner here, I would recommend it for lunch. Read more

I love this pub!! The entrance going in has a gorgeous historic garden vibe, and the interior has a nice cozy historic feel as well. The staff are friendly and attentive, the food is so delicious. Prices are a little high for some of the items but otherwise ok. There ... are specials most days of the week. I never leave disappointed or hungry. Love it and will always be back for more. Read more
