Good food. I ordered a beer with some oysters as an appetizer, followed by a delicious brown-bag…read morefried fish (haddock, I believe) and a bowl of chorizo chili. Everything was excellent -- I basically inhaled the chili. The menu even included notes on pairing beers with each entrée or appetizer, which I appreciated. One thing I really liked about the oysters was that they were served on top of the ice rather than in it. I've been to places where the ice melts and leaves the oysters sitting in water, which isn't ideal. This restaurant clearly avoided that mistake. The kitchen was quick with our food and clearly held itself to a high standard of quality. It had been a long day for me, so maybe it was exactly what I needed. The restaurant itself isn't too small to feel cramped but just the right size to feel cozy -- high ceilings, beautiful chandeliers, and a comfortable atmosphere. I would definitely come back.

Smothered in their tangy in-house BBQ sauce, this was a crowd pleaser. Shepherd's pie was extremely soft and creamy, and it was gentle to the taste buds and stomach. I enjoyed the specially brewed ale, not too hoppy and paired great with the spread. Not a fan of the fries, they could have used more crisp. Portions were huge, like Texas huge. Dark ambiance, booth and bar seating available, and decent service. Long list of beers on tap.

The TVs were muted, the radio played at a medium level of classic rock, nothing hardcore. We received our menu, I was looking forward to ordering wings after hearing about how good they are. I saw the price, $17.99.... But you only get 8 wings.... 8.... 8 wings for almost $20.... Then I decided against that and ordered the Montreal Smoked Meat sandwich, only to find out the sides were another $3.99... for French fries.... Inflation on a potato jumped a lot at this restaurant. My parents met at this restaurant back in the 70's, I hear many story's of big partys and good times being had here.... Those days must be long gone with the price rates on the menu. I enjoyed the Montreal smoked meat sandwich and had a Caesar to wash it down but that will be my last meal here unless prices change. There's no reason for price gouging on fries and 8 wings for $17.99..... that's insane. I couldn't justify paying that for 8 wings, or even getting a side fries for $3.99.

Second time, they refused and it has been a year so we decided to give them one more try. Unfortunately, they still refuse to swap out French fries for a side salad or a veggie without charging the extra charge for it. However, my husband ordered meatloaf and was given the option to swap out his coleslaw for veggies??? Wouldn't the veggies cost more?! Our waitress was great but the management sucks and the willingness to work with people who have dietary restrictions is non existent. I settled on a single burger because my glucose levels can handle a bit of carbs but not as much as the fries would cause me. So sad that people would have to pay $6-8 extra because they can't eat potatoes/fries to eat something healthier that isn't more expensive. Three times is the last time. We won't be back.

This is a good place to go for cheap pub food and drinks…read more On my last visit, I wanted to order the fatty fatty grilled cheese with soup special (available on fridays) however they were sold out. So I ordered the chicken strips instead, and substituted a salad for the fries. Chicken strips were pretty decent and salad tasted fresh. Overall quite good. Service was fine for a student pub. My only hesitation is I was sitting at a table in front of the kitchen and the kitchen did not look very clean (see photo).

There is a restaurant on site but it was closed when I went (Monday afternoon). However, there was a food truck on site with burgers, chicken wings, fish and chips and other pub fare ($12-16 range for big portions). There is also the Muse coffee on site but again only on certain days (I think Thursdays-Sundays). Service was very friendly and for non-beer drinkers like myself, they had a cider and several choices for wines. They also had non-alcohol beer available. The boutique has a lot of their beers as well as local liquors, t-shirts, dog toys and other gifts. It's super dog friendly and there is bike parking as well. Very relaxing place to stop by while exploring the area.

Luckily right next door, is an attached restaurant/pub that serves simple pub fare. You can order and they will give you a buzzer to let you know when the food is ready. We got the burger with homemade chips and it was the perfect pairing with the beers! Would recommend for a place to hang out with friends and family.

I didn't do dine in, only take out so I can only briefly comment on the environment but it seemed like a typical pub restaurant, I did notice the seating area had these dividers that seemed kind of jarring.

Seating about 20-30 people, this wine bar has a lot to offer. Great selection of wine both by the bottle and by the glass, easily broken down by taste profile to make choosing easier; good selection of traditional cocktails, beers, tequilas and scotch's. Although one can't order food from downstairs, they do offer great little cheese plates and meat trays that are ready to go on demand. We were there on a Wednesday night, which just happens to be their tasting night... Although I wasn't in the "mood" for a beer tasting, having the owner cotinuosly bring us a little sampler of the beers being offered made it hard to resist. We had a bottle of wine and a couple cocktails and ended up with a cheese plate and meat tray before the night was over. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. You can be sure that this will be a regular spot when I am in Fredericton on business in the future.
