All in all, would definitely recommend and come back!

Its a real local pub, as it always was, not part of a chain, One of the few authentic pubs still around. The place was redone and kept its older 1950-60's local feel which is great. The food has improved wonderfully, it was always good, so its now up a few notches. Their burgers are even better than they were and way better than most pubs. I will be back probably next week. I highly recommend to all. Maxim

Cool concept if you're into that, but it's definitely a different vibe than choosing a track from a catalog and singing along. From what I gathered, the band was friendly and offered an alternative when they didn't know the song my mom wanted to sing, but she opted out and left shortly after. No big deal. The place looked decent from the outside, kind of like the kind of pub you'd slip into for a pint and some low-key tunes. Later, I mentioned the experience during a karaoke chat somewhere else, and people who had been to Queen Victoria Pub spoke well of the jammy-oke setup. So, while it wasn't the right fit for my mom that night, others seem to enjoy it. Probably worth checking out if you're open to a more live-jam kind of karaoke scene.

So on a Friday night I suddenly fancied some Fish & Chips. But I am rather fussy about my fish. I…read moredo prefer halibut over haddock or cod. But as many know halibut is a premium fish. But I found this pub had halibut on the menu so I ordered two dinners plus a side (1 lbs) of wings. The food arrived hot and the fish was very good. The portion size was decent and the fries were still edible. I often find when ordered for home delivery fries seldom make the trip. I kind of wished more restaurants/ pubs vented their boxes so the fries did not get too soggy. I did find my order came with a generous portion of tartar sauce but they served white vinegar not malt. A bit of a faux pas here. I did find the wings a bit under done. I guess I prefer a bit of a crisp so I popped those in my air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 ° F. After that they made a tasty side.

The Bangers and Mash is a classic representation as it hits home with the blend between perfectly grilled sausage with mashed potatoes and onion gravy! The Guiness Lamb Stew is also perfect for the winter as the lamb is nicely cooked with the root vegetables and does enjoy well with a slice of bread!

Location: Main Street Markham…read more Parking: There's some on street parking, but good luck with that. Half a block away there's a huge free lot! Decor: Send an old Tudor looking building. The inside looks like a pub. A pub that hasn't been decorated since the 1980s. I know it can't be the original carpet but it hasn't been replaced in a while. There is a nice big bar some seating around it and then the dining area is separated by half wall. It's a smaller space but comfortable. There's tables. They set it up in twos and fours. There is a fireplace and it's nice and cozy to sit by there on a cold day. What's kind of cool is when the kegs come in, the building is really old so the floor shakes is the kegs roll in. The food: Typical pub fair. It's good. I wouldn't call it generously portioned but a proper serving. Lunch time there is always a chicken wing special. They're pretty good. I do like the fish and chips. Staff: Everyone's always nice. I don't know if they have a lot of stuff or if they just go through stuff but they're always seems to be different people every time I go. I don't know how they manage hire all the really nice people but they do! Will I be back? Of course I will I come all the time

My boyfriend and I decided to have a drink and share the quesadilla - the waitress had the kitchen split it onto two plates so we didn't have to be sharing one plate across the table which was nice. The lights on the patio made for a nice ambiance. The food is very good and I'll be eager to come back again and try more of their menu!

This review is based on free-flowing appetizers and drinks, which, as we all know, is the best way to experience anything. The decor is standard Firkin pub meaning cozy, British, and featuring the signature Union Jack couch that I unfortunately neglected to take a picture of as there was an event photographer. For a British-style pub, my only real complaint is the cider selection. As someone who isn't a Strongbow fan, I was hoping for a nice local option, but the choices were slim. I happily pivoted to a perfectly pleasant Malbec, so I was okay in the end. The service was surprisingly excellent. Our party had about 30 people, and although there was another large group there at the same time, the staff was on it. Our waitresses kept us well-stocked with appetizers and managed to get drink orders filled with impressive speed. For those taking transit, it's incredibly accessible and just a five-minute walk from Rosedale station on Line 1. I can't speak to the parking situation as I didn't drive, but I didn't notice any garages on my walk from the subway. I'll have to come back on my own dime to give a more "authentic" review, but based on this experience, they know how to handle a crowd.
