Great place for cocktails with friends. Lots of options, including beers, wines, and shooters. Daily promotions on drinks. The food is good too. Mainly for burgers and tartares. And there is live entertainment on occasion. We did have to wait a while at the door though before someone greeted us; which seems to be a recurring critic in many reviews.
Nice place to hang out with friends. Huge choices of drinks. Simple but good menu. Appetizers were pricy given the portion ….. but min course were nicely presented. Could have a bit more flavour
It was my first time coming here, and I was not expecting the vibe to be that hype on a Friday night. We got seated really fast, and the bus boy was very friendly. We also got drinks really fast, and we loved that they have daily drink deals. The food came really fast as well, and the servers were all very friendly. The red tuna mango tartare was delicious and filling.
First time here and we both really enjoyed it. We ordered their burgers as pictured and both were cooked perfectly. Juicy, full of flavor and the fries were crispy outside and soft on the inside, mix that with their delicious gravy and you have a perfect pub meal. Ordered a spicey ceasar along side of it. Service was spot on and staff was friendly and welcoming. Prices were very reasonable and the environment was exactly what we wanted to enjoy this meal. Will definitely be back!!
Went to the shaker for the first time. Had the small nachos which were good and perfect for 2 as an appy. Had the burger with the pineapple in it. I enjoyed it quite a bit. My side salad was disappointing with dressing the tasted closer to olive oil then dressing. The fries were chewy, which was weird. Other than that, our server kept busy and points to the manager who recognized the need for assistance and stepped up right away. All and all not a bad time. Loved the vibe.
Drinks were excellent and so reasonably priced. $4.50 for draft beer, wine bottles sold at same price as liquor store, $4.50 shooters, and great mixed drinks $7-10 each. Planning to return just cause the srinks are so good. Pretty good wine selection (barolo $32, amarone $38, brunello $50).
The atmosphere is fun. The food is mixed between some good and bad. Nachos sucked. Chips were too thick, almost no meat, not enough toppings. Pouting was excellent as were the Asian chicken tenders. Lobster roll was okay.
Servers wore masks correctly. One person working at the front reception desk to seat people had a face shield with no mask and it didn't come down low enough to cover his mouth.
Overall the service was very good, food was decent, and drinks excellent.

We were 5 friends catching up over lunch and drinks. SHAKER had a great selection of tartare and burger. They all looked delicious and I just could not make up my mind. Therefore, I did the most logical decision which is to get both, an tartare appetizer and a burger main dish. My gluttonous choice was generously rewarded by the chefs at SHAKER. I was served promptly with a nice portion of delicious tartare. This could've been a main dish in other restaurants. The burger was massive too! Look at that picture! The tartare was nicely balanced and its ground ginger gave a little extra texture and punch. The burger was deliciously hearty filled with Quebec cheese curds. I really missed those ever since moving to USA. My friends were also happy with the dishes and their drinks. I even got to eat my wife's left over tartare! Yes, I managed to handle the extra and I am actually quite proud of it. However, I did necessitate the help of a leisurely walk in one of the nearby park later on.
There is actually a lot of benefit to go to a restaurant/bar for lunch. We avoided all the craziness of the drunks (they are generous with their drinks). The service was fast and pleasant. I would return again, probably for lunch.
Burgers were amazing, poutine and fries were delicious, and the drinks were like heaven (definitely will be back)
Excellent has always. A little bit dark along the exterior windows. We were having trouble reading the menu but maybe I'm getting old🤔
Great service and great food. Servers were on point and professional, gave a quick and friendly entrance. Food arrived quick, was hot and fresh. Shaker has an extensive menu and drink list as well. Definitely give 5 stars and recommend anyone to go.
