Cute pub in Victoria, BC. We sat outside. Perfect crisp weather. We ordered the garlic fries (yum!) and the fish & chips with poutine fries to share. Fish was crispy and flake. The Cole slaw was very good. I think they use horseradish in it. The restaurant is very dog friendly. They even bring a doggy bed for your furry friend. Be aware: They are very strict on their no entry for anyone under 19. read more

Great atmosphere. We sat outside for some drinks and the spinach artichoke dip. Dip was very good as were the chips that came with it. Very fresh. Service was great! They do a steady business but have plenty of seating in a nice day read more

Why is it that we're suddenly forced to pay $17 for French fries and gravy with a dust of Parmesan? It's ridiculous. I grew up in Quebec and poutine trucks charged $3 for French fries with gravy and cheese. Cheap deep fried food after Covid now costs three times as much. Complete rip off! read more

If you want great food, nice atmosphere and watered-down drinks, this is your place! I went with my friend, a retired Lieutenant Commander in the Canadian Navy. After a nice dinner, served by a very competent and friendly wait staff, I ordered 2 single shots of Appleton rum. The rum was more water than anything else. It was an insult to both of us, and both complained. More insulting was the bartender refused to do anything about it, and brushed me off. I ordered the balance of the bottle, about 3/4 of an ounce, and without drinking any of it, offered it to the bartender to try for himself. Again, he brushed me off, said they were too busy. I offered it to any of the staff to try, however, they were not able to try it as they were on shift. I wasn't looking to start a conversation, I was complaining about having my money stolen. My wife and I had been in this place before, always enjoyed the food, but we have had, on occasion, reason to suspect "the pour" for the drinks. Ordering two shots and getting what we got absolutely confirmed it. The Server took the "drinks" off the bill, but that was hardly the point! They should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves and should be looked into by the Liquor Control Board. read more

Welcoming neighborhood pub in Cook Street Village with a separate seating area if you don't want to sit in the open bar part. The apple and walnut salad was delicious. Seafood chowder was tasty although the cream had split, probably due to overheating. Excellent service. read more

I got more of a watering hole/sports bar vibe than a pub but they have a varied menu with lots of choices. I ordered the hot wings and I can't say they were any good. I didn't find them crispy and they tasted like the frozen kind you'd buy at the grocery store except they were way hotter (too hot actually) and very vinagry. My husband had a pear salad which he enjoyed. I'd go back and try something else though because I did see a lot of appetizing plates go by. read more

Just happened to be near the pub after a day's shopping. Good ambience and service. The apple candied walnut salad is outstanding. Had to go back again, even though we were on a very short trip. Awesome! read more

service is slow, food was slow coming out the kitchen. The time it took to come out I wasn't even hungry anymore. my food was hard to eat with denture. The only soft food was the French fries. My friends burger was seasoned with something that tasted like crap, it didn't even taste fresh. we are very disappointed with this visit. read more

Lovely lively pub in cook village. Off the beaten track. Busy place but totally welcoming with friendly staff. The fisherman stew was delicious.... must try if you love fish. Defintely would come back again read more

I'm glad I didn't look at this restaurant on Yelp before dining here. Excellent food and service, great selection of beer. We got dropped outside of this place on a hop on hop off tour bus walked around the neighborhood didn't see anything that excited us and came back here. Glad we did. Excellent food, large portions, great value, highly recommend. The wife had the mahi mahi wrap with garlic fries, and I had the Reuben sandwich with chowder. Excellent. read more

Read your bill ! We had a good meal but the bill had a surprise - a "Special 9" item had been added at $9. Very mysterious. I circled it to ask my server when she appeared with the card reader in hand. As I started to ask her about it, she immediately said that it shouldn't be there before I had even finished my sentence and without her actually looking at my bill ! She apparently knew already about the extra charge (but had the card reader ready anyway). How many other patrons got the $9 special ? Don't know, but won't be back. read more

We had the fish & chips and it tasted like more, very tasty. We went there for lunch and we're seated promptly and the service was fast. Great atmosphere. Clean, great food and fantastic service. read more

Conveniently the manager has been lying about what happened, to customers who heard and the owners.

Are here twice and if i ever make out back i will eat there again! Both tones in stick to happy hour menus/daily specials and they did not disappoint read more

This pub is awesome. For a while there, the food took a bad turn but they've done something different - maybe hired a new cook - and it's great again. Excellent selection of craft beers and patio with both shady and sunny tables. read more

Fun place with an amazing local beer selection. The Hawaiian Tuna Burger was fantastic and so was the Halibut & chips. Great service and fun atmosphere. read more

The Beagle Pub - Witbier - Pubs Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

So I'm a regular (meaning I go there at least 3 times a week) and show my ID and vaccination passport each time I go in to the same "security". So yesterday my cell phone had died and my wife was out and nanny had spare set of keys, so I stop at the Beagle as ask the security guard (whose checked my ID over and over again) if I could come in for a pint and as soon as my cell charges - I'll show her my vax passport. She says, "no". So I went to the flower shop down the road and they helped me no problem. I will not be back. read more

Great fish and chips! I ordered the seared ahi lettuce wraps. Delicious! The fried ginger that came with it and the sauces were amazing. My boyfriend used the Wasabi aioli for his fish, which gave it an awesome twist! read more

Good service, try the candied pecan and apple salad. Finish it off with the mud pie which was the best I've ever tasted read more

The Beagle Pub - Exterior pic - Pubs Near Me - Victoria, British Columbia

This place has one of the best wing nights I've ever been to. The wings are large. The skin is crispy and the sauces are excellent. I decided to try the blue buck, which is a mix of hot and blue cheese together; and the whiskey bourbon, which I don't actually know how to explain - kind of like a less sweet honey garlic. Both were great but I think I liked the blue buck more overall. Not the best wing night pricing as it's $8 per plate, but you're definitely paying for quality. Pints are $7, with Phillips ones going for $6.25. read more

The service was quite good but the food was awful. Seems to be a popular spot but I just don't know how people can eat the food, I felt ill after eating only a small bit of our order. 3 items all bad. I'll vote with my feet and never return. Go for a drink but don't dine! read more

Fun atmosphere and great pub food. We had Tuna lettuce wraps which were delicious. The salmon bowl needed a little sauce so we used some of the tuna wrap sauce which made it excellent. read more

Never been disappointed with food and drinks. Very friendly service. Great neighbourhood pub in Cook Street Village, and it has dog friendly outdoor seating as well !!! read more

Went to the Beagle this morning at 11am for brunch with my adult daughter and sister in law. SIL gave her name and phone # for COVID 19 contact tracing which is required by the province. When the waitress came to drop off menus, she asked my daughter for ID. once shown, (government issued ID) she asked for another piece of ID...the waitress was not rude, but she was not smiling or welcoming in any way. I mentioned that she was not wearing any kind of face covering, to which she replied, "yes". Daughter produced another piece of ID and waitress walked away without another word. When she came back I asked her to speak to the manager. Within a minute, the manager, a man in his late 50's, arrives, also without a mask, and I ask him why staff are not wearing masks? While I speak, I am putting my mask I wore in back on. He says they choose not to wear masks and if we don't like it, we can leave. I ask him how I can protect myself while eating, from staff that approach me and are closer than 6 feet to me? He says, "Don't lecture me. If you don't like it, you can leave", which we did. My family was shook! The arrogance, rudeness and blatant ignorance of this man and how he is running the Beagle will show up in the next few months sadly, as this virus knows no limits. The staff looked flat and unenthused by their jobs, and the pub was literally just opening! I work in a hospital, and I would suggest that anyone working with high-risk individuals think twice before patronizing this establishment. I feel safer in the mall or Value Village where everyone is masked and I have the ability to keep a distance from others. read more

I've lived in this neighbourhood for 10 years... The Beagle has been great up until recent years... The food is bland, straight forward, and not good. The service is BAD, so extremely bad that I would rather order from a fast food place than have to endure their incompetence....... And I work in the Industry!!! Sorry if have a bad time,... Amazing of you have a great one!!! read more

The Beagle is our neighborhood pub. We go there because it's nearby, the food is good, and the beer selection is excellent. More often than not, the service is the worst I've ever had. On our last visit we sat beside a table who was complaining about the service too. We weren't surprised as the server was one we've had many times. She takes your order eventually then avoids your table, and even rolls her eyes you talk. I've been many times and tried to get on her good side... Doesn't seem to work? 1 point for beer, 1/2 for food, and another 1/2 for the one lovely server we've had there. read more

I go to the Beagle mostly because it is centrally located and a convenient place for my friends and I to meet for beer, wings, or to watch a game. The food is overpriced but at least it's good; the consensus among my friends is that the Beagle needs some competition to improve the food and the service, but I don't have any complaints. The wings are some of the best I've had in Victoria, generally ranking 1st or 2nd (behind Smiths) depending on which of my friends you ask. The service is always good though the increasingly more common wait for a seat is getting tiresome. They have Driftwood Ale which is one of my favourite local beers, and they manage to offer plenty of televisions without feeling like a sports bar. All things considered I'd say the Beagle is one of Victoria's best pubs. read more

I'll keep this review short and simple. It was mother's day 2018, and after traveling all day to the area, I wanted to take my wife and child out to a nice dinner and drinks. We walked through the door and were refused service because they don't allow minors. Really, on mother's day! I could understand if it had more of a bar feel than a restaurant but everyone was eating dinner. I'd recommend everyone avoid this place. read more

It's so loud and noisy and sporty, and it's not at all cozy, but the poutine is so damn good. Indeed, I'm convinced the poutine is the best in Victoria, which is too bad because it's not the kind of place I'd want to spend any real amount of time at all. I know pub tastes vary, and I guess it's too bad that I'd rather hide out in warrenous pub sounding of dull roar rather than pitched scream, because I want to eat nothing but this poutine over and over again. It's that good. The curds have the right squeak, the gravy is fully-present and not overpowering. The fries are crisp and wonderful. Nothing is wrong with it, nothing even falls short. It's wonderful. read more

Cute pub with lots of charm, and beers to choose from, which was my primary reason for being there. We also ordered a plate of honey-garlic wings, which were fine. Nothing to write home about. But the atmosphere of the Beagle, plus its fantastic patio, made this a great pit-stop. Service was a little slow as things picked up quickly on a Friday afternoon, but it didn't totally ruin the experience. I'd come back for a few pints on a warm day to take advantage of the patio, for sure! read more

We had brunch here this morning. Delightful sitting outside with a nice craft beer and a sumptuous breakfast. The food is good here and so is the beer. Great staff. My neighborhood pub. Right in the heart of Cook Street Village. Walking distance from downtown and the Dallas Road. read more

Prawn tacos are awesome. They have great dips. Sweet potato fries are good too. Nothing spectacular as far as the menu goes but everything ordered was very tasty. Service is quick too. read more

Very busy bar. The food was not very good. The porchetta sandwich was quite bland. Clubhouse sandwich was okay. Dry and chewy bread. Gravy was not good I'm glad I didn't order poutine like I was going to. Good environment and close to home. read more

Good atmosphere, friendly service, and a very yummy veggie burger make this a regular lunch spot when I'm in town. I love that they include not only a patty, but also a portobello in the veggie burger. I've never ordered a drink, but the selection looks expansive. All of the waitresses seem to be attractive young women though, which kind of makes me laugh. I always enjoy my visits here. read more

I really love this pub for many reasons. The food is perfectly fine for the price- not exceptional, but I always leave satisfied. There is a great selection of beer. I have always had really lovely, friendly service from the servers. I really dislike this pub for one very specific reason. The way Fletcher (the bar manager, as I understand) speaks to the female staff in front of customers is atrocious. He is openly incredibly disrespectful and abuses the power imbalance. It's really disappointing. It's 2017, man - talking to your employees with respect is not revolutionary. read more

Great place to watch a soccer game and have a beer. Service is great and the tap list is solid. Worth checking out!

I came to the neighborhood after dropping off some rescue cats to PetSmart on Blanshard, and having time to kill before my reserved ferry home, I decided to get a late lunch. The place I had originally scoped out on Yelp, had gone Soley to takeout due to Covid. So, wanting some place to sit and read, I wandered down the street, and found this pub. The menu looked good, but I was really in the mood for salad. Bunny food was my desire, and the Beagle delivered. I ordered the soup of the day, a veggie/pork, and the green salad with apple fig vinaigrette. What a lovely dressing. I must thank the server who recommended it. My only issue was that the salad really needed carrots and celery, along with the cucumber and tomatoes, and assorted greens. More crunch is always appreciated. Lovely calm atmosphere, with a nice view of Cook street, and people wandering by in the cool January sunshine. I enjoyed the respite in my busy day. Thank you! read more
