Very liked the place. Burgers and soups are just amazing. Servers are very polite. They are approaching asking if all is ok or not. Loved this place. Visited already several times. Each time we were amazed :) read more

Food is alright, a regular pub with regular food. I had a Halibut Po Boy and it was decent. Fish was battered quite well and was meaty. Probably a tad too salty for my liking however. read more

The Augusta House - a chicken sandwich and french fries - Gastropubs Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

Extremely disappointing. On St. Paddy's day, 3 waitresses and the bartender argued with us that the drink we ordered "snake bite" was made with lager and cider. We told them that it should have been Guinness and cider. They still argued and insisted that they were right and the bartender has been bartending for 10 years and Guinness and cider was called a Black Velvet. Regardless of who was right, they should have just served us what we wanted and not have argued with us. This prompted us to just pay the bill and leave. It appears there may be different interpretations of what a snake bite drink is made of but if you do a quick Google search, you'll see the majority say it's made with Guinness and cider. And a Black Velvet is made with Guinness and champagne according to the official Guinness website. https://www.guinness.com/en-ca/recipes-and-pairings/cocktails/guinness-black-velvet/ read more

Arrived at noon. Ordered a glass of wine on the patio and said I was waiting on someone. One of them showed up at 12:10 and grabbed a beer at the bar before calling me since he didn't see me on the patio. The other person was closer to 12:40. No service until almost 1pm when we had to ask (I had only said one person joining me, serving more than 45 minutes as far as he was concerned). The people who ordered at the same time we did were finished their meal for 10 minutes. We had ordered a salad, a sandwich, and a burger. Shortly after 1:30, I went to the back of the restaurant and asked if I could "help deliver our food". His response was that he was "looking after our bill and we could go now". I asked what that meant and he said that we would not be served our food. My guests had to return to their offices without food since they were already beyond their allotted lunch hour. My understanding is that the server was in fact the manager of that establishment or the "Pheasant Plucker" across the street (same owner). I was told his name might be Malcolm and he might be the owner. What a piece of work! I have never been so poorly treated. NEVER AGAIN!!! read more

The Augusta House - Worst experience at a restaurant in Hamilton. - Gastropubs Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

I've never actually had a bite to eat at the Augusta House, but it's a great venue to grab a drink, relax with friends and catch some great live music. The Augusta House is certainly one of the more upscale venues on Augusta Street, and the crowd and vibe of the bar certainly reflects that. If you're a Hamiltonian looking to for a mature crowd that enjoys a few drinks and conversation with good friends, I highly suggest giving the Augusta House a shot! read more

My visit was on a Saturday night with some friends, we had a bite and a few beers. The food was great and presented well. The order came promptly and the service was friendly. This wasn't my first visit, but it was the first time I ate here. We stayed for some of the live music, Saturdays are their Motown theme, and it didn't disappoint. The menu had some good selections that were better that what you'll find in most places. The salmon was very good. Decent selection of beers on tap, and the place itself had a good atmosphere. It was clean and inviting. I will be back. read more

Decided to go to The Ship for dinner tonight, after reading Yelp reviews and found that it was too busy so decided to go into the Augusta House a few doors down. Was pleasantly surprised by the food, atmosphere and service here . The gentleman that served us was awesome as well as the bar staff. Although we had an issue with the customers in the other booth, we had a good time . we started with the spinach dip(which was fantastic) and then ordered the Creole Chicken sandwich and the prime rib burger. Both entrees were fantastic and somewhat affordable. The only downside was the add-ons for the entrees were not disclosed properly and evidently payed $6.00 extra in the end. Great experience . Would recommend! read more

The Augusta House - Prime rib burger with bacon and cheese - Gastropubs Near Me - Hamilton, Ontario

See all

A great atmosphere and good staff made dining here a very pleasant experience. While there are televisions on showing sporting events, I didn't find the noise from them to be distracting or difficult to speak over. An issue I've had with other pubs so I found it easier to interact and mingle with friends when dining at the Augusta House. The menu is also very good. The few times I have been there I've had the burger which was very good. I also ate the spicy pulled pork sandwich a few times, and that sandwich was amazing. I've also enjoyed going on Wednesday nights for their 2 for 1 boneless wing special. The boneless wings are available in a variety of great flavours and they alone are worth showing up for. Friendly staff, great food and a good atmosphere makes the Augusta house one of the better options for dining in Hamilton. I would highly recommend it and plan to go back very soon. read more

Wow. I walked in with high hopes but was quickly let down. The service was OK. Not over attentive but they didn't ignore us. Atmosphere was nice. Not too loud and the booths were comfy. We ordered the Calamari as an app. a bad choice. It's grilled not deep fried. Which I prefer. But when I tried to cut it with my knife I realized I'd chosen poorly. Tasted and felt like a rubber band. +1 and I both ordered fish and chips. A huge disappointment considering it was labelled a house specialty. Tasteless and mostly batter. The spicy mayo for the sweet potatoes fries had an unidentifiable weird unexpected flavour. A band was about to start when we decided to leave. I can't imagine how loud they would have been on that small space. Last thoughts. I'd go for a drink with friends. But never food. read more

Just bad bar food. Ended up here due to a wait at the Ship. Fish and chips didn't come with coleslaw or tartar sauce. Mac and cheese was okay but garnished with almost woody stalks of green onion. The server was stand off ish at the beginning and only warmed up when I was overly nice to her. Will not be returning. read more

Its OK. Patio is nice but every bar on the street has one. Wings were sauced with, what appeared to be, grocery store BBQ sauce, and washrooms unclean. Prices cheap. Live music a decent touch but you get what you pay for. read more

Mediocre overpriced food and a server that didn't seem like she wanted us there. No thanks, won't be returning. I guess my beer tasted ok.

Ended up here instead of The Ship tonight due to a 2 hour wait there, we should have waited the 2 hour.... Augusta House is painfully bad. The bartender who started serving use seemed like she didn't want to be there, wasn't friendly, no emotion at all. She brought my wife the wine she ordered but didn't ask the other 4 at the table if they wanted drinks. We ended up with a second server who was much more friendlier, my wife was undecided of what she wanted. The server suggested the Po-boy as it was very popular, my wife said it was just ok nothing special. Someone else had the Thai curry, didn't finish it. Two others had the fish & chips, they said it was ok. I had the prime rib burger & fries, honestly this was the worst thing I have eaten at any restaurant. The over cooked burger was half the size of the bun with not much flavour. All of our fries where undercooked & very greasy. This had to be worst $145.00 I've spent at any restaurant and I know the manager knew no one was happy as he offered us a $20.00 gift certificate but it won't be used, it went into the garbage when we got home. We definitely WONT be back to this establishment. read more

Good food was not impressed by any stretch of the imagination. The waitress was nice and the place had kind of a cool atmosphere. Washrooms are upstairs right where you enter so you are hit with a weird bathroom smell upon entering. Probably wouldn't go back. read more

Great food and drink. It's a really awesome place to relax with friends until some over the hill band lives out their fantasies and drowns out the small place with bad rock and roll. Great atmosphere when there is no live music to ruin it. The signage on the door says they will turn you away if you are not dressed to spec, but I think that is more to keep out undesirables. I've gone in jeans and t-shirt. read more

Oh boy, never ever going back here... This was a couple of years ago, maybe a miracle happened and things have changed but I'll share my experience because I'll always remember it: Went with a group of 10 coworkers for a night out after work. It was nice weather so we stayed on the patio. Hardly any service at all. When there was service half of the order was incorrect or just missing. The selection of beers was disappointing, coors/bud/rickards and some generic "craft" ("craft" for the molson/sapporo macro breweries that is) and that's as good as it gets. The personnel was dressed like they were working at a strip club and were unfriendly besides being inattentive. Among ourselves we had an ok time regardless but the most memorable part had yet to come when it was time for the bills. The bills were mostly incorrect, and after everyone in our group forgave the crappy service by giving a decent tip the waitress came back outside to ask if there was something wrong because we didn't tip enough??!! So rude! Never coming back here. In fact here's a tip: just go next door, (the ship) or even better two doors down (the winking judge), you'll have a much better night! read more

This place was a favourite of mine...you could always count on good ingredients and a few vegetarian options ideal for me. Now they have revamped the menu again. They've taken away the only two veggie dinner entrees that were available, and a couple appetizer favourites. I'm all for the evolution of a menu, but bring back my root vegetable wellington or some viable alternative. I won't be returning for any future meals, because I can now only eat the salad, like every other place in Hamilton. read more

It wasy first time here on a Wed and I loved the selection of alcohol. Very clean great environment and the bartender was very knowledgeable of the alcohol she was serving. Love this place will be back for sure the prices for high quality liquor is amazing.... Love love it here. read more

All the tables were filled so when one came available I pounced on it. Waitress was rude told me twice to wait while she cleaned it. Got ya the first time calm down. She cleaned it never came back I had to grab 2 menus for me and me wife. Then I had to grab my wife a drink at the bar. Asked the bartender to whip a sweat rum drink together looked at me with a puzzled look and said I can't help you with that come your a bar tender LOL. Food took a long time and it was just adequate. Waitress's attitude change toward the end when bill came simply for a tip. read more

this place used to have great live music the bands they have over the last year or so are actually garbage. not a place i'd go for live music anymore. read more
