The service is top notch and their food is very good I've had their fish and chips a few times now and must say it is quite good. I've also tried their apps including the irish onion soup which is quite hot and very good on a chilly day. This place is very warm and inviting. This has become my new go to place at the end of a long week of work

I loved my experience in coming here!…read more The space was lovely, really old school vibe. They had a small bar inside, with seating and a beautiful patio outside. Its in the back of a lane, so its not off the street. Yet, Bracebridge is on the small side so, its pretty easy to find. I believe they also play some local bands. I'd say more about the bathroom being small and them having an ecclectic collection of photos and the like. Yet I do not fully recall all about the ins and outs. Its kinda vague for me. I find its always nice to look at that kinda thing. Makes me have an appreciation for not being the only Collector of the odd. The person that was working the day we went, absolutely phenomenal. He was on the cute side, super friendly and accomodating. I ordered the plant based burger with their in season, warmed beet and chard salad, yet what appeared on my dish was not plant based. I'm not entirely fussy about the juices of the beef or anything. However when I asked him about it, he promptly was willing to have the whole dish redone. He seemed rather appaled that he had made a mistake like that, given he was plant based himself. Perhaps it was me not being assertive enough, or perhaps something was missed when the order was taken, either way immediate action was taken to quickly rectify the situation. And it was awesome! This to me, bespeaks of going above and beyond, which is something I resonate strongly with because I am that type of way myself. Would definitely return.

In fairness, I think it's important to know what you support when you visit this business…read more Courtney, the current owner, does not follow the Employment Standards Act, Section 14, when it comes to paying out tips or tip-outs to the employees. The legislation requires that all tips be paid out immediately; unfortunately, Courtney refuses to pay the servers all their tips for weeks, even though she knows they need their tips to live on. Courtney has been advised of the legislation, yet seems to think she is above the law. Anytime anyone speaks up, they no longer work there. Here is what you can do to support the employees: Pay the tip in cash - This way, they get it immediately, and Courtney has no opportunity to withhold it from the employee. Send a clear message to the employer - Let them know that you cannot support a business that prevents employees from receiving their tips as per the ESA. Regarding tip-outs, we have asked several times to show us the sales and how tip-outs for bartenders and kitchen staff are calculated, yet every time we ask, it is ignored. I have asked to be paid the money I am owed for weeks, only to be ignored. This is the employer you are supporting.

Service or the total lack of it is a big issue!! Over 30 minutes and no water, drinks or any…read moreservice other than (I will be with you many times and nothing)!!! The place was mostly empty but had many staff standing around! After a LONG wait (finally the rest of the standing around staff decided to help), we got our food and drinks. And they were both quite good! A restaurant/bar with decent food/drinks and yet an "ok" rating (I rounded up from 2.5) as opposed to a great rating (would have been a solid 4)....It's obvious the issue is poor service. It's not poor because they were rude, in fact everyone was polite. It's just a long, long wait. Sorry but I will have to chalk that up to poor "front shop management". If you see staff struggling or tables sitting there without service, get others to help out or you help out. Otherwise the rating would be much better.

This is my second review. I really want to give this place a five star but they keep tripping…read more Great location. Friendly staff. Last time it was an overcooked hot chicken sandwich and had run out of pop. This time I went for their house burger and fries. Burger overcooked slightly and I asked for no dill pickles, but found out I got them anyhow when I took a bite. Everyone looked rushed on this end of season heat wave that brought out a bunch of people. Washroom was clean. I will go again, hopefully they will get to a five star casual restaurant.

Lots of families, which is always a good sign but the service was quick, friendly, Gavin, who helped us out, was wonderful and took great care of us. The service was fantastic, the place was clean (so were the bathrooms) and the overall ambiance was so chill. We loved it there. They had great local beers on tap and there were lots of vegetarian options for my wife. Overall, great experience. They deserve 4.5 out of 5. Really great place that we would go back to in a heartbeat.

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.

I was watching the Toronto Blue Jays game and I had a bud light with cheesy garlic bread. The garlic bread was a wonderful with lots of cheese and a nice garlic flavour as well, on to the main course in addition to the roast beef there was mashed potatoes and peas and i experienced yorkshire pudding for the first time in my life . the peas were certainly fresh and warm (very good) The yorkshire pudding was very well executed although I'm not sure what all the fuss is about it with it . the mashed potatoes were wonderful the gravy was a great side kick to the potatoes. As for the roast beef it did have a fair bit of fat on it but cooked to my wishes medium well and tasted great. The service was very good as well as the waitress checked in on me but was not intrusive . Overall a pleasurable experience at the Bull and barrel.
