The new owners have painted the place, replaced the badly worn out carpet, added a number of new tables, are replacing and updating the lighting, and will be getting new regular sized pool tables in a month or two. The kitchen has been extensively renovated, although the recent opening was probably a bit premature. They closed the kitchen temporarily to acquire and train the kitchen staff properly. The new owners are very keen, and have been doing a lot to upgrade the premises. The staff is attentive and very accommodating. Definitely worth a try.

Last time I was there $17 for 3 large bangers, mashed potatoes and an assortment of steamed fresh vegetables. Plus gravy. Come on. Excellent. They redid the outdoor patio last year and even though it's in a parking lot they did a nice job. Downside this location has been home to at least 2, maybe 3 failed restaurants before. John's came in and did a dust and clean repairs and paint. But you can't get away from the old restaurants. Oddly there is a second room that is large that used to have couple poor tables and a bunch of tables that only gets used for parties and occasional overflow for the main area. Washrooms for men is tiny and needs a makeover, so is the main area. Really dated decor. It's tough. Do you renovate and raise the prices to cover the costs or do try to keep costs down and keep the prices down? For this location it's starting to feel really worn. However the food is still great and we have even used it to cater a small party of 16 last year. I only took one star away because of the lack of any ambiance and the need of updates.

Truly a hidden gem in Port Perry. And I mean that both literally and figuratively. Castle John's is…read moretucked away in the back of a very small strip mall, you would never know it was there. To say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement to say the least. We walk in to find a very relaxed, comfortable environment, nothing fancy. Some booths, a nice bar, classic rock music playing, lots of TVs for sports and a friendly greeting upon our arrival. Great selection of beers and a big menu. We tried the burger (they put it together exactly the way I asked), the Grilled Vegetable Sandwich and an order of Buffalo Hot Wings. All were excellent and perfectly presented. The wings especially were great! Wings were huge, perfectly cooked, crispy, Buffalo hot sauce was spot on. At first glance, the pub looks small, but if you go towards the back of the restaurant, you'll see an open door to another section that has pool tables, more seating, a big screen TV and a cozy fireplace. So if you haven't tried Castle John's yet, it's time to check it out. Highly recommended!

Definitely not the classiest joint in town... or maybe it is...?…read more The tables are old(er) but the felt is still in relatively good shape. Some of the cues have cracked tips but if you look, you can usually find one worth playing with. Monday and Tuesdays they have $5 pool from 6pm to 11pm (although I think that's gone up to $6 recently)... either way, you can't complain about that. They have a fully stocked bar and will make tea and coffee on request for those of us who don't drink. They also have a half decent menu with food that's prepared downstairs at Texas Burger (yum). You're pretty much in view of a TV wherever you are and they have a large projection TV in the lounge area allowing you to sit, eat and watch the game. I'm not saying it doesn't happen but I've never seen a rowdy crowd here and although I've been to better halls, this place is okay for a fun night out.

Very decent prices, very good customer service, and decent products (pool tables, dart boards,…read moreetc.). I've now been to this venue twice, and am planning to go back there with my social group again next month. The price for the pool is either $9.05 taxes in for all you can play, or I noticed that they also have two tables where you can pay per game. To play electronic darts, it costs $1 per person per game, and it is coin operated. They also have a juke box that's hooked up to the venue's surround sound. Also, I hear that Thursday evening is lady's night, where they get to play for free. I tried their poutine, which I found to be quite tasty. I noticed that they only have the 19 size pool cues, which is a tad off, but they had tonnes of them, so at least there's no running short of them. I found the electronic darts boards they have to be quite fun. They have two of them side-by-side, and they have a bunch of different games you can play (playing in attempt to get the score from a certain number to 0, counting up, and a bunch of others that I hadn't heard of before). You can choose the kind of game you want to play, before starting your game. You can have 1-4 players. So all-in-all, I've yet to leave this place without having had an excellent time there, so I highly recommend it. It only lost a star in my review due to not having more than 1 type of (size) pool cue, as I noticed a few people complaining about that.

The place is spacious, cozy, and modern, with a great atmosphere and music. The staff are very friendly and attentive, and the service is fast and efficient. I enjoyed playing pool and carrom with my friends, and trying out different shisha flavors. They have a lot of options, from fruity to minty, and they are all halal and high-quality. The shisha was smooth and flavorful, and the hookahs were clean and well-maintained. The snacks were also delicious and fresh, and the prices were reasonable. I highly recommend Hangout Bro to anyone who wants to have a fun and relaxing time with friends. It's a great place to chill, play, and connect. I will definitely be back soon, and I can't wait to see what they have in store for the future. Hangout Bro is the best place to hang out in Whitby!
