Irish Times - Pickering, Ontario

I came here last week on Victoria day after the Jays game. We ordered the half-price wings special and calamari, which was 30% off appetizers. When we walked in the bar, it had a bad smell. Probably need better ventilation, and some of the patrons smelled like cigarettes. The wings were decent ... size and juicy. They could've tossed them in more wing sauce. I could barely taste the buffalo ranch. The honey garlic wings were good. The calamari tasted good, but the breading was falling off and soggy. Most likely, the oil was not hot enough, or the breading was too watery. Unfortunately, I won't return to this bar because of the ambiance. It's a shame because the food was promising. Read more

It was the waitperson's first day but they did a great job at making our large group feel welcome. The specials made for a less expensive beverage. I also appreciated the generous pour in the glass.

The burger and fries special was quality. It was a good sized burger. I did not leave hungry. Our server was excellent as well. I've been here a few times now and each time was good

We decided to give this restaurant a try for dinner after reading positive reviews, but our experience left much to be desired. As we approached the entrance, we were greeted by an unsightly collection of ashtray buckets, and the presence of numerous smokers congregating near the front door was rather ... displeasing. Upon entering, we found the restaurant nearly empty, with only a few patrons seated at the bar. A waitress behind the bar caught our attention but made no effort to approach us or offer a friendly greeting. Instead, she engaged in casual conversation with another customer while sparing only occasional glances in our direction. It felt like she was waiting for us to initiate the conversation, which did little to create a welcoming atmosphere. She slowly made her way over, so we informed her that we needed a moment to look at the menu, I took the opportunity to assess the overall condition of the restaurant. Unfortunately, it appeared to be somewhat neglected in terms of cleanliness and upkeep, raising concerns about the quality of the food. This, combined with the lackluster atmosphere, led us to decide against dining here. Our initial experience made us wonder why we were met with such a lack of hospitality and whether this was a common occurrence for other patrons. Read more

I heard of this restaurant from multiple locals and was excited to try. My family and I ordered for delivery, and while choosing butter chicken from a pub and expecting it to be good is a long shot, I expected at least a decent meal. If you are at all not ... used to chowing down a mass amount of spices, please avoid this dish. I have eaten at authentic restaurants and never had butter chicken been almost lethal with spices. It caused my mouth tongue and throat to practically burn and after the first few bites I wanted to toss it out. The rice isn’t even satisfactory, it’s bland and doesn’t even help to lessen the amount of spiciness. I will not be having butter chicken from pubs anymore, lesson severely learned. Save your wallet.
