Always the best in Canada! Beautiful building, great staff, great food, great beer! It's only downfall is that it's busy every time for good reasons which means waiting for a table every time. No TVs or music. Why doesn't everyplace do this?
Food looked delicious. We were too full to eat but loved the place. Where else can you order a Merridale cider and sit in a manicured English garden on classy west coast picnic tables, benches, or muskoka chairs ? Menu classic pub fare, not trashy pub grub.
We love it! we drive up from Victoria just to go eat there, it's a relaxing atmosphere. Does get really busy at times but inside or outside it's just lovely to sit and relax with a glass of wine and wait for your meal. I have tried many different items on the menu and have enjoyed everyone. Whenever my nephew from Winnipeg is on the island he makes sure that he goes there as well.
Great food, lovely staff and beautiful patio dining surrounded by stunning gardens. Inside is cozy and inviting. Favorite location to visit.
It was our first time there. The atmosphere was warm welcoming, the food delicious and the staff were awesome. The Landscaping is absolutely beautiful and it's wonderful that you can sit at an umbrella picnic table or patio chairs and enjoy the view. We're from Maple Ridge and I told my husband that the next time we go to the island we are definitely going back there again!!!!
Such a beautiful establishment. Had an old Irish pub feel with fantastic beer and food! If you’re around the area it is a “MUST check it out” place

I love the Crow and Gate. Friendly, lovely atmosphere and great Kilkenny Cream Ale. Got here when it's busy (honestly when isn't it busy) so it took a little while to get our lunch. So come with understanding that you are going to be here to enjoy yourself and not run in and out. Always have a good time.
We have been going to the Crow and Gate for over 30 years from the time when they used to have jousting and everyone in medieval costumes. It was wonderful then and it's still the same.
It can get extremely busy in the summer and at those times you can wait up to an hour for food. Just get a drink and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful gardens. It will be worth the wait.
What an awesome find! My daughter brought us here while on a visit to Nanaimo. We will be back. The interior is just like a British pub, complete with real fireplaces. Food was just as good as the ambience. Highly recommend it!
My favorite pub lunch on the island. Out of the way and worth it.
