It was the busiest i had seen it in my previous visits so there was some ambiance. Now that is summertime i will going there more frequently and looking forward it.

Sadly I have to change my review. I've been going for trivia on Wednesdays since 2017, but it looks…read morelike last night was probably my last time. They've introduced pay-to-win mechanics into their trivia, in the form of awarding points for Wednesday's trivia to people who order entrees on Sunday-Tuesday. Needless to say, this undermines the spirit of trivia and of competition for the sake of a few extra bucks. I contacted the pub itself but they ignored me. I contacted the company that hosts the trivia, PubStumpers, but they seemed more concerned with persuading me that the pay-to-win mechanic was acceptable, rather than listening to my objection. The trivia IS fun, but now it is only fun if you don't mind that a game of skill and chance is now about skill, chance, and how much extra money you are willing to pay. Very disappointing for trivia enthusiasts.

This has become my new go to place at the end of a long week of work

I stayed at this Holiday Inn location for two nights. It is centrally located right off from…read moreMapleview Dr and close to the hwy 401 North exit to access the surrounding areas in Barrie. **Disclosure, this is an overnight stay during the pandemic and may not represent the same experience post pandemic.** ACCESSIBILITY It has automatic front doors and elevator, but access to the elevator was through the main entrance; rear entrance has stairs only. There were no sidewalks at the entrance, the pavement is uneven opening patrons to tripping hazards and the grading really makes it a wet and soggy way into the building on rain days. FOYER When you walk into the foyer, you are greeted with a desk, coffee and tea around the corner; but during the pandemic all day coffee not available. Down the hall, a barricaded breakfast area and elevator. Hand sanitizer is located at the front of the elevator, but there is no restriction on use like single rider during pandemic. Pool and gym amenity was closed during the pandemic. THE ROOM My room 316 was a standard two queen, basically the most economic room, no kitchen. On the entrance I had the clothes hanger followed by a little kitchen with mini fridge and microwave and a keurig maker. On the left the washroom stocked two beds on the left, tv on the right on top of dresser, an office desk, two phones and a view of a car dealership parking lot. The room was visibly clean, but as you look closer I saw the bathroom had nail clippings on the corner of the counter, some mold under the counter to sink gaps, some hair from the previous patron in the room on the floor near the tub, the counter next to the facial tissue holder had some weird oil residue smudge and the art work had what appeared to be some projectile residue (I'll let you guess what it is). The bathroom was not accessible, avoid 316 if you are heavyset. The door could not open all the way and got stuck on the toilet. You had to hopscotch over the toilet or you had to squeeze sideways to close the door. The bathroom had some eco friendly shampoo, conditioner and soap dispenser and provided few plastic one time use containers. I thought that was quite nice because there probably is a lot of waste. The hair dryer was on top of the shelving, again accessibility reason it was pretty hard to reach. The bathroom mirror has a cool defog feature so after you shower you could see yourself (naked) in the mirror..cooool. The mini kitchen (not full kitchen) appeared useable. During the pandemic individual room coffee making is somewhat important because you don't know if you will get coffee made. One problem with the Keurig maker is that it wasnt even cleaned. Brown water was coming out of it when I used it. There is no luggage rack but there is a bench, office table, coffee table and desk chair to place belongings. Thermostat and room exhaust works. BREAKFAST Breakfast serve is probably one of the best. Hot serve of eggs, bacon, sausage with your bread options (english muffin, toast, bagel, with the oatmeal flavoured and unflavored, yogurt, cereal and even premade pancake that could be toasted. They even had a fruit bowl. Outside the room around the corner of the desk was the coffee and tea and you can ask for more Keurig pods from the desk. I give this hotel credit, they are probably one of the better breakfast serve with dietary considerations, like offering whole wheat, non pork, dairy and non dairy options and was very suitable for my diabetic travel companion. FRONT DESK FRIENDLINESS During the pandemic, I have noticed people talk less with a mask and with the plexiglas barriers. I would say there were some nice desk people and some cold people. The nice ones seems to be on the afternoon and evening shift, but the morning shift person was pretty cold -maybe shes still waking up? VALUE The price per room was roughly $105 per night plus the 17% tax using the BMO reward purchase site (there is the standard 13% tax and 4% tourism levy). I did see on their website the rooms started around 120$. I perused reviews and the pricing seemed to be aligned with pre-covid pricing without a number of amenities like gym and pool. If you like holiday inn beds without the hot breakfast, Comfort Inn is $85+17% tax. If you prefer better beds, the Hamptons was same price as Holiday Inn with grab n go breakfast.

And then, the food... oh man... it was great. First, the Donaleigh's Signature Burger, that burger was massive, juicy, and packed with flavor. It had a combination of the beef patty, crispy bacon, white cheddar, BBQ sauce, and onion crisps on a toasted sesame brioche bun. It was absolute magic. As for the sides (which you can pick either salad, fries, or soup of the day). I had fries, it was good, nothing special. Then, do not even get me started on the Chicken Club. My partner got it but I had a bite, it was like a party in my mouth. The Naan bread was soft and warm, and the filling was amazing: chicken, bacon, boiled egg, basil aioli... it was all so good. For his side dish, he got garden salad, which tasted fresh ( I got a bite of that too lol). I shared my fries ;-) Moving on, the service was great. Our server was super friendly and attentive, checking in on us regularly to make sure everything was okay. And the best part? Parking was a breeze! In Downtown Barrie. Free parking after 5pm (we parked at 9 Simcoe Street), just a 3-minute walk from the pub. Donaleigh's Irish Public House is killing it with their live events! They have got Genevieve Cyr and Nate Douglas performing soon, and The Rob Watts Band is taking the stage too. But honestly comedy shows are a must. We need more,especially since there is no YUK YUK comedy in Barrie. Hopefully, they will keep bringing in more comedians to make it a regular thing.

Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable in all the menu items (glad that she alerted that the pistachio-crusted roasted salmon would come with maple butter, so I could order the dish without it / put it on the side). I love that all menu items are customizable in all The Keg locations (can sub in, take out, or add certain ingredients or add-ons such as vegetables). They always have at least 1 vegetarian main dish on the menu, which tends to change every once in a while. We tried their most recent one, The Harvest Bowl, which consisted of basmati rice, falafels, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and spiced yogurt. It was alright. They provided the option of choosing how I wanted the roasted salmon to be cooked (e.g. medium, medium well, well done, etc.) - always great to have that choice. The broccoli and mixed vegetables (which I asked as a substitute for the mashed potatoes) were excellent, as always.

WIFI is free and is fairly quick. Parking is free. I ate at the restaurant last night and it was good ... reasonably priced and good portions. My only complaint is that it's not very quiet. I can hear every thing that happens in the hallway ... talking, sneezing, doors closing, suitcases being dragged, etc. This is minor but the curtain on the window didn''t close all the way. The street light was coming through the edge last night and reflecting off the mirror on the wall which reflected onto the bed. So I had to make sure I didn't sleep in that spot and have the light in my eyes. All in all, I'd stay here again.
