Review Horseshoe Bay Inn - Chemainus

Great pub , Great food , full pours of draft ! My favorite is the Ceasar salad , it's awesome. Possibly the best Ceasar salad in all of Duncan/ Chemainus / Millbay. The draft here is the full 20 ounce mug , not the 16 ounce sleeve like many bars commonly serve. The staff are friendly , personable and always in a good state of mind. It's not hard to tell that they enjoy working here. I recommend this Pub / Restaurant every day of the week.

This was my first time dining here, but it will definitely not be my last. From the decor, the drinks offered, the fantastic menu, and the background music, the overall aesthetic really gave this place an authentic pub atmosphere. The service provided by Tyler was fantastic. She was kind, funny, and very attentive. Let's not forget her skills behind the bar, drinks were made quickly with great presentation, and above all else were delicious. The food prepared and presented beautifully by their cook Kim, was by far some of the best food I have tasted in a long time. I was lucky enough to be there on steak night and my steak was cooked perfectly, put together with the onions, mushrooms, and mashed potatoes topped with a delicious gravy made this meal hands down the best steak dinner I have ever had. If you're ever in the area I highly recommend you stop in and visit.

Excellent experience, and amazing food. Definitely come and try the food. You won’t regret it!

Built in 1892 the “Shoe” is where friends meet! Delightfully different! These hand made seafood crab cakes at the “Shoe” will thrill you. I was very surprised to find that each and every tasty bite was a delicious combination of scallops and spotted prawns, surrounded by crabmeat, served with red pepper jelly, wow! (My partner as you can see couldn’t resist) Try them!

Visited Chemainus BC. Quaint pub with a sweet outdoor patio. Friendly locals and a good-sized menu. I ordered a seafood salad. See pic. I was amazed at the generous portions of shrimp, salmon, halibut, etc. It was delicious! Not a beer drinker but prices for beer were super too. I would definitely return to The Shoe.

Nice old pub. Maple wood decor. Booths and tables Only 4 people in on a sat afternoon. Has that old pub smell, a bit of the washroom and old carpets. Awesome.

Such a fun little pub. Old-school vibe. Everyone was chill and Happy. Loved the history too. The service was top notch! Jasmine( hope I got your name right😊) was a amazing ! She was fast(serving the entire place on her own this particular day), funny, and kind. This little gem is Salt of the Earth!

Tyler was amazing! Service was impeccable! Food was from the same menu from 18 years ago but a hell of a lot better. Outside patio was hell of an improvement. Will definitely be back
