Unfortunately, we arrived too late to eat here, so just cocktails for us. Drinks were good. It was late, so our server was done…We still enjoyed sitting by the fire and checking the place out. 9/7/23. 8:30 pm.
Went to see Hannah Georgas in the Wicket Hall. 1st time there in its current state. Sight lines are "interesting". Go early for the best seats. Sweet spot is unfortunately back behind the pillar 😔.
Good pub!
The staff are also kind and cute!
The colors of the drinks were colorful and cute!
The snacks were also delicious!
Old world charm meats big screen TV's.
Nice selection of both import and local brewery beer. I went with the wicket lager, it's brewed by Vancouver island brewery.
Menu is not overwhelming and it's easy to find something you want to try. Whether it be bangers and Mash, a burger or even mac and cheese.
The food is seasoned well and decent portions.
Staff were all welcoming and friendly. We did find that one gentleman who brought the food to the table wore entirely too much cologne. It was to the point I would sneeze every time he walked past us.
Perhaps businesses need to bring back the no scent atmosphere for their customers convenience.
We will return.
Import beer is pricey
Steak was well cooked with delicious herb butter on top. Brussel sprouts were way undercooked, mashed potatoes were really salty. Mac and cheese is incredible, though - you can add chicken, broccoli, etc for an extra charge. Our server was nice, but only visited the tables on each side of us (not ours) in the last 20 minutes, so it took a long time to get our check. We never got a refill on water either, but maybe they figured the bottle of wine was adequate for us 😉 Be aware that there's a game room with pool etc, sports games on TV, so it can get a little loud if you're seated near it. Main dining room is relatively quiet otherwise, or it was when we went. Basically the food is good, service is alright, and they have a rooftop patio that looks great. The food was good enough that I'd give it another chance when I'm in town. It wasn't particularly busy, but maybe our server had more tables in another room that kept her busier than we were aware of?
Hanna was great! Sat in the actual sticky wicket (not the rooftop which has a cover, and no view, or the games room which seems to be more about watching sports). This is a confusing place. There are multiple bars and all of them have different taps and features but they kind of represent as one establishment except they aren't. Many of the menu items like the seafood boil for instance are only 2 days a month and only on the rooftop. I'm not sure if it's intentional deception or just bad marketing. Staff was friendly, service was good. Just a little confusing and frustrating. Nice margaritas and palmeos with Tajin rims (Mexican chilli lime salt). Beer selection is to limited as far as I'm concerned, no hazy or imperial IPA or sours.

My 3 friends and I really enjoyed our lunch today at the sticky wicket.

Great little pub. Just stopped in for a pint and a quick bite. I had the hot cauliflower wings and they were great!
I never went there yet but i like the building and the tone of green of the paint
The top level looks cool also
3 years ago there was flags from all over the world
I wonder where they are now
I’m sure i have a picture on google photo of that if it didn’t disappear like some other pictures i took ⚠
Beautiful location. Staff was extremely friendly and the food was delicious. Cranberry gin was quite good. Would visit again!
