A nice surprise, reminiscent of an English pub, the staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. Paid parking across the street (be aware of ticketing).
We were in search of Mozzarella Sticks and The Judge was the only pub on the strip that had them! Plus, we received great service and great beer.
We was received pretty well, fast the guy, that I think is the owner sat us in a very good table that was recently vacant. He told us about the drafting beer available, describing each special one, even offer a tasty of a strawberry beer. I chose the usual, larger, but my husband try two kinds. The bartender came and brought our food order and he was very kind as well. The food, some appetizers that is not so common to see around, rib poutine and pork belly, was good. I saw a lot of pretty cocktails been served, but I'm a beer kind, but it really catches the eye!
I love the new Judge! They put so much work in making the space more modern, clean and maintaining so much of the previous charm. The staff are very attentive and friendly, especially the manager Fred and bartenders Kelly and Dion. The beer lineup has changed but they still offer some local options and the cocktails are delicious. Also, the food is fantastic! You can tell that a lot of thought went into the menu. I also love the back patio with strands of lights. Great job!
My husband and I went to this restaurant for the first time today and we'll definitely be going back. Our waiter was out going and eager to help, offering, suggestions and really made our first experience am amazing one. We brought our 3 year old daughter and he was patient with her and was quick to offer her a snack while she waited for food to come. Honestly deserves huge recognition but unfortunately I forget his name, I think it's Galileo or something along the lines. Food tasted amazing too! Best pub I've been to!!
Came here the other night by fluke. Just walking by and decided to go in for a drink and app with the bf and so glad we did! Service was fabulous, food was delicious and pub like atmosphere made it cozy and relaxing. It was a Sunday and they had specials on bottles of wine and charcuterie boards. I mean what else do you need?! Was attended to by Dion (I hope I got that right 😣) who really made the experience! Super personable and attentive. Owner/ Chef came by to check on us and also gave us some samples of a fruity beer (Liefmans fruitesse I believe), and I now have a new favorite drink! People... Service like this is hard to come by these days. On point gentleman and thank you for a great experience. Will be back soon!! 💃
Recently booked the upstairs for a private party. The manager was wonderful and communicative and very accommodating. Service was excellent. Good tap selection and cocktails. We only had two apps but they were delicious. Really recommend!

Unbelievable! I have to say I was definitely surprised, I was not expecting the quality and flavour from a pub. I don't even know where to begin to explain the flavours. The judge deserves this 5 stars. From the time you enter the door you are treated like they want you there. They promptly got us a table and were treated with a smile and drinks were on the way. The apps and or should I say snappetizers were delicious. We had the chickpea dip and the pork belly. For mains the chicken and pork tacos. We will be back.
Enjoyable atmosphere, delicious drinks and fresh delectable food. Don't forget to check out the rear patio.
It's not the old Winking Judge, obviously. That doesn't mean it's bad. The staff were very kind, the atmosphere was great and it had a couple of interesting beers on tap.
