Went to this pub on June 30th. Showed up around 9pm just looking for s quick bite before going back to Toronto. They were on their late night menu but allowed us to order from their regular menu. We order salmon and a roast beef dip. The salmon.....cooked to perfection. The dip....shaved prime rib and a rustic potatoes leek soup as a side which was to die for. Now....I know food. I'm a chef and I know my stuff. The staff was polite and attentive. I spoke to management about the quality of food and she was grateful. I spoke to the chef and he too was grateful. AMAZING FOOD. Fresh, made on site, made to order.
The show that night....Out Of Control a U2 experience was incredible. I memorable night.
So to all you who didn't like the food here...either it was an off day in the kitchen (which happens) or you don't know good quality and are just difficult. This place is a great stop.
A perfect pub, right here in Bracebridge! The decor is exquisite and will keep you occupied, while you wait for a Guinness, admiring the details in hand woven iron railings, the beautiful tin ceiling or relief carvings hidden in the walls.
Apparently Patrick borrowed ideas from the best Irish pubs around the world, such as the no two the same colourful seat cushions, taking from a post war Moscow local, which was done to add colour in the drab Soviet era.
The food we've tried is tasty. Loved the steak and kidney pie. My wife raved about the shepherd's and chicken pot pies and according to our son, they make a fine Poutine (that old Irish standby). The oils still a little too fresh for the fish'n'chips, for my liking though. :)
Ultimately a good pub can only be measured by its friendly staff and from that perspective, we think it's a winner! Patrick Kelly the owner knows how to take care of his customers. I'll be happy to have him pour me a perfect Kilkenny in his perfect pub anytime.
This place is amazing. Beautiful inside. I'm not a beer drinker but I tried an Irish beer (can't remember the name) and it was so tasty and smooth. The owners are super nice. I definitely recommend!
