The Duchess - Markham, Ontario

This bar is great. It’s probably one of my favourites, alongside Unionville arms. The bartender was a cool guy, and the waitress was attentive. I came here, before heading to a jays game. The patrons were also friendly as well. The food was fair, although it could’ve been better. Overall, i ... will definitely come back here. If I’m ever in the area again. 🍻🍗 Read more

First time here. It's the neighborhood local bar but more family oriented really as there were a few tables with small children there. Smaller place and it gets busy. They have an upper floor but washrooms are in the basement. Staff on the upper floor were friendly e ought but ... could have been way more attentive. Food was ok, nothing to write home about though. Overall nice ambiance and relaxed setting. Probably will return if I'm in the area and want to go to a sports bar for a drink and a bite. Also recommend if you're in the are and like sports bars too.

This cozy little pub on Main St. Markham has been around for quite some time. The inside is pretty nice with friendly staff and a pretty decent menu with a sizeable selection. Food was good, but portion/size-wise (for my Guiness lamb stew) felt a bit on the smaller side. Wife thought ... her shepherd’s pie could be a bit bigger as well. The curry chicken our friend got seemed okay in size though, so I’m really not sure… I need a larger sample size. Read more

Nestled amidst Main St Markham, The Duchess of Markham Pub captures the essence of a traditional British pub with a modern twist. The pub's decor pays homage to its British roots, subtly incorporating historical elements that add a touch of authenticity to the overall experience. One of the pub's highlights is ... the extensive beverage selection, including a wide variety of draught and craft beers, ciders, and specialty cocktails. The pub's food menu offers a mix of English classics and innovative dishes. From hearty pub favorites like fish and chips and liver and onions plus. For our meals, I had Montreal Smoked Meat wrap with onion rings, one of my favourites on the menu. My partner had liver, bacon & onions but didn't really enjoy it. Found it a bit tough and didn't like the gravy on top. He'd try another option next time. Only downside, found the patio loud. Many regular patrons and they can get quite excited with raised voices. Put a damper on our meal and conversation. Read more

First time trying this place but definitely not the last!! Thank you to Dawn for her wonderful service and recommendations. We had a delicious lunch in their front patio. We ordered the Blackened Chicken Salad which was delightfully refreshing and many different flavours of a bit of jerk spice and ... creamy avocado to slight sweetness from the mango! We also ordered their wings, I must confess these were one of my top 5 wings I’ve ever had. Crispy and glazed with honey bbq. Heavenly goodness!! Also folks, there’s a big patio at the back that is busy and has music playing and it’s own bar. A must try!!👏👏 Read more
