Someone pointed this out to me so I figured I should respond. I guess I am that lanky jerk as you…read morerefer to or as I like to refer to myself as a fit middle aged man working security for The Roxx during a private party. Much to your dismay and lack of research Rock 95 a local radio station was holding their annual Birthday bash which is a private party that requires contestants of the radio station to win tickets to gain access to the concert for the night. Apparently in your haste of being so excited to see the Sheepdogs live you forgot to research the fact that the above was most certainly the case and that without participating in Rock95's contest you would not be able to join in on their party. The best part about this review is it appears you left just as much as an impression on me as I did on you. I remember you folks were the only people who were rude to me that night. Out of the thousand + people I welcomed into that private party you made sure that you would not be forgotten. Unlike your false review here are some actual facts: 1. I am approx 30 years old and weigh 180lbs. I enjoy the people I work with and typically work these private parties due to my calm demeanor and overall professionalism. 2. Rock 95 holds a private party that they refer to as their Birthday Bash which requires people to win tickets to gain access to their venue. http://www.rock95.com/announcers/randyrichards/randyrichards/11-09-01/How_to_get_into_the_Birthday_Bash.aspx 3. I have linked the the weather data for that day and it was just liked I remembered it. The temp was right around 0* and clear and had been all day. Easily able to predict and dress for the weather conditions or as you say to chill likely in your car for 25min. http://www.worldweatheronline.com/v2/weather.aspx?q=Barrie,%20Canada&day=21 AC

You know why nobody reviewed this place yet? because it sucks…read more I suppose it's fair to explain. The crew & I came to Barrie to see 'The Sheepdogs' perform at this location. So when we drove by to park, the line up was insane. We decided to chill out for a bit until the line died down. After 25minutes or so we walk towards the place. When we get to the door the lanky jerk tells us 'sorry, closed for a birthday'. Straight up LIES. We laughed at first, thinking he was kidding. After telling him that we are here for the concert, he agreed (again, rude & confusing seems to be the theme in Barrie) he tells us 'sorry private party only'. At this point Rock95 staff walk in and one old leather skin guy made a joke about how we were with him so he should let us in. He was 80. Is this what goes down here? I gotta get an 80yr old to convince this loser to let me in at a FREE concert? Seriously? When we started to question why he wasn't letting us in he decided to spin another lie 'only winners are allowed". Winners? What the antiseptic firewall is this kid talking about? Forget that we travelled from Mississauga, forget that we planned our weekend around this concert, forget that it's freezing outside ,but to lie to us like we were a bunch of teenagers is just ridiculous. I have no clue what the heck the front desk little wimp thought he was defending but it def wasn't the Honor of this place. Straight up rudeness.

What a fun country bar!!!…read more My friends & I arrived at 8:00 p.m. for the line dancing lessons on a Saturday evening. The security at the front door kept looking at my ID then me. He eventually handed it back to me and said that they put the wrong age on my ID. How flattering! LOL! I was told that the cover is $5 which I didn't believe because almost nothing cost that little anymore so I made sure I had more cash on hand. It's true!!! Another amazing thing they do here is for any designated drivers, they don't charge you for the sodas, OJ and cranberry juice. The lessons started out at intermediate level & even the line dances after the lessons I've never seen or done before so to resolve that issue, I just started requesting the ones I know and DJ Mike happily put those ones on for me. They usually switch over to a regular club night around 11:00 p.m. however this night, he played country songs until 11:30-11:45 p.m. as he said there were a lot of line dancers tonight. Everyone I spoke to there (bartenders, DJs, etc.) was friendly & I really enjoyed my time there. When we left around 12:30 a.m., there was still a huge line outside although the place was already pretty busy inside. NOTE: They only accept cash (cover & bar) so make sure you come prepared.

I just like to say that it should be brought up to the attention of whomever owns or runs this…read moreBar/Grill. My parents were visiting some friends around downtown Barrie, and saw the sign they have out front for the rib special,(1/2 rack, coleslaw and fries for $5.99) so they decided to stop in for dinner tonight. After waiting 10 minutes, the waitress showed up to take their drink orders, they ordered a few beers. After she delivered the beers they placed 2 orders for the rib special that was on the sign outside, the waitress told them, that it was for Monday only. My parents told her, that nowhere on the sign did it say Monday only, and since it was their first time there, they had no idea what the daily specials were . The waitress said that she would go and check to see if they could get the rib deals. After about 15 minutes, a man approached their table and said 'can I help you'? My mom answered 'I'm not sure, are you the chef'? The guy answered no, so my mom asked him if he was the manager, and he said yes, never giving his name at all. They tried to explain that they saw the advertising for the rib special, and decided to try some place new, and nowhere did it say Monday's only, and it was false advertising if that was the case. The manager took the beer's that was sitting on the their table, (unfinished) and said GET OUT. My mom said 'excuse me?" and the manager repeated GET OUT. She told him that they have never been kicked out of a restaurant ever, and that she is a Chef with the CCFCC. He said, 'well isn't that good for you'. My parents got up from their table and left the establishment. She phoned me after it had happened to tell me this crazy story of my parents being kicked out of a sports bar. I have never heard of such a thing, most managers are willing to work with the customers to make sure the customer is happy, never once did he say that he was sorry, or try and offer them another option. I am highly disappointed and shocked that this is the business attitude of an establishment in Barrie.

We went to watch the amazing Cedric Newman, and let me tell you, the guy is HILARIOUS! He had us…read moredying laughing the whole time. They should definitely book him again. 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.

They play extreme sports clips and sporting games. At first the projector screen was closed, there were about four tables taken. When it became about six tables, they turned it on. Service was friendly, albeit slow. You do have to wave them down and keep a keen lookout for your server after they drop off your order. Our server didn't come by after the first drop off. It wasn't busy either, about four tables were taken. Wings with sauce on it are crispy and saucy at the same time, which is great. Good sized wings. Nachos were a show stopper. It's huge! They put a lot of salsa and sour cream on top of the nachos itself. Nicely baked nachos that can easily feed four people. Added the chicken on top and it was really small diced up chicken. Overall, a great ambiance, great tv and great food. The service can use some fine tuning.

I also tried the sticky toffee pudding and it was ok at best. The service was tremendous as usual and its a friendly price point. 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. Im going to get a full order of fish and chips next time and I want to try their roast beef dinner on Sundays

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.
