JBI Pub - Victoria, British Columbia

The place was packed for the first of the Stanley Cup games when we walked in - felt lucky to find a table tucked away in the corner. Thought it would be difficult to get any service since it was so busy, but Emily attended to us right away and ... continued to give us great service the whole time. The food and drinks came quickly and were of a good quality. Wish they could have arranged a better outcome for the game, though! Read more

How to even describe the level of hospitality Corrie brings to this wonderful pub. She is the type of employee that creates regulars within their first visit. She is a ball of light and single handedly the greatest server I have ever had. James Bay community thank your lucky stars ... that we have such a sweet friend working in our area. Thank you Corrie we love you 💗 Read more

The James Bay Inn Pub is a Victoria institution, and for good reason. The food here is satisfying pub fare, with generous portions and tasty options. They offer a large, welcoming space that seems to be a favorite with locals for a casual night out. The atmosphere is lively ... and friendly. While the service may be a bit on the laid-back side, it fits the overall pub vibe. If you're in a rush, this might not be your best bet, but if you've got time to relax and enjoy a pint or two, you'll be right at home. I definitely recommend checking out the James Bay Inn Pub if you're looking for a true Victoria pub experience. Read more

Nice spot in the James Bay district of Victoria. While on vacation we decided to have lunch here. The parking lot was crowded but there were some spots around the rear of the Inn immediately across from the ground floor Pub entrance, great because my wife was experiencing ... some difficulty with a knee injury and a barrier free ingress/egress made it easier. Great food, chose the Clubhouse platter and a Salad along with a local craft beer. Quick service from the only wait staff on duty who was friendly and is a great asset to the Pub's profitability. Almost a 'Cheers' environment with many local tradespeople stopping for lunch too. $$$ Read more

Some what enjoyed the Thanksgiving turkey plate that included stuffing, mashed potatoes & gravy & cranberry sauce, yellow beets & carrots. The pumpkin pie with whip cream was lack luster and small in size; similar to an average food store type. I also had a IOTA NA beer. ... The wait staff was attentive. The ambiance wasn’t bad save for a homeless or very unkept guy milling about with his own odor. I guess it’s all a challenge but it doesn’t help the visiting paying customers relax. The mens washroom was clean. With 20% tip, the bill was little over $50 CAD. Read more
