We went to the Yates Street Taphouse for supper. I had heard good things so I was excited to try it.
The food was good, did the trick but I wasn't overly impressed.
I had the Yates Street Chicken Wrap and my boyfriend had the Chicken Bacon Ranch BBQ pizza.
If you're going for selection of beer they have a ton here and that was very impressive.
It was quite busy in the restaurant but the service could definitely be improved.
When we entered we asked to be seated so we could see the basketball game. The hostess told us she was pretty sure all the tables were taken so to find a seat at the bar. When we walked over there were open tables so I went back and asked if we could sit at one and said just said okay sure.
Our waitress was not mean, but not very friendly.
I'd maybe go back for beers and decent bar food but there's other places I'd rather go first.
Great food, excellent prices
Awesome service! Beer tower and Wings on Sunday are best deal! Enjoy! :)
Great burgers.. Favourite pub in town. Great app specials. Fish tacos are excellent. Possibly the best burger in town (try it with a bag of house made chips). Free pool and friendly battenders to boot. Highly recommend.
Lime chicken soup is wonderful -eats like a meal, with black beans and corn
I've stopped in for drinks and appies a handful of times and every time, the service is professional, the beers are cold and the food is tasty. Unlike many other establishments, the Taphouse focuses on making as many things in house, from burgers to sauces. No complaints here!
This is where the bartenders know how to pour Guinness. Had the awesome and tasty crab cakes, shrimp and pulled pork poutine. Will return for pints and delicious dishes.
The place to be. One of my favourite spots. Whether you sit up at the huge bar, or in a booth, or at a table, or even in the pool room the place is great. Relaxed atmosphere, very friendly staff. Very good daily and weekly specials. Busy most nights!
BEER!. Probably in my top 3 favorite places to hang out in Victoria! An incredible beer selection and delicious food! Probably the best Calimari I have eaten and I have trouble choosing between the 1/2 Roasted Chicken and the 12oz Rib Eye! But the BEST OF ALL!!! 40 beers on TAP!!!!! A go to place in the heart of Victoria! Try it!
The best beer selection in Victoria, great atmosphere and fantastic food.
Went there to watch the second half of World Cup final. It was very crowded but they still had a few tables to accommodate us. Nice and relaxed atmosphere. We ordered Chorizo & Egg Taco and Eggs&toast. Our server, Elaine, was really nice and helpful. She helped to change the food a bit. They did not have any deserts in their morning menu, since we craved some sweet stuff she managed to serve us chocolate truffle cake which was nice. Pleasant experience.
Service was friendly and had a nice casual atmosphere. Important to note that the happy hour menu listed on their website is NOT the happy hour menu you are given in-person! It seems they also now have Taco Tuesdays, so all of the tacos were 3.50ea. Good value at that price, but I imagine I would have been underwhelmed had I paid full menu price 😬
Came here last Thursday and everyone was so friendly. There were 2 people at the host desk that were very nice. I sat at the bar and the bartender was really nice. I think there was a shift change happening at some point and the next bartender I got was super friendly and helpful as well. I got his awesome recommendation on a really tasty sour beer and I asked his recommendation on a good patio to check out. I would definitely come back here.
A nice place to grab some drinks some food and hang out with friends. They host trivia night which is fun and also difficult. The prices are okay and also the restaurant has the interesting concept of towers(1.5L) to serve beer, that is really interesting and cool. The service was not fast but not too slow. It is a clean place and the washrooms are clean as well.
Place permanently closed.

====================================
I have now visited this place so many times that I can leave a solid review about it. In my heart this place is the true definition of a 4★ experience.
Beer selection, solid, nothing fancy, you gonna find something you like for sure. Are you going to find that special beer you've been looking for? Most likely not.
Food, solid. Whenever we are in a big group with multiple dietary restrictions, we come here as we can always find something for everyone. Yet none of the menu items alone stand out as the best in town for their category.
Service, solid. This of course changes depending on the server, how busy the place is and/or if there's an event going on. But overall I had 95%+ positive experiences. Yet none of them truly memorable.
A big thing they get is different nights for events, like sports events, trivia night and others things of the sort.
This was a great bar. We went their to watch football .The service was excellent. The bartender and I believe the manager ( a built Asian man) were very attentive and knowledgeable about Victoria. I'm a tourist so I really appreciated it . I had a Mimosa tower . Pretty good. I must say you might want to add more wine to it ..... Pizza was tasty and the "COD " hit the spot .SOOO GOOD . Thanks .
Wrong food was delivered, waitress never came back to check how we were doing, and she never brought the vinegar we asked for. However, right food (chicken taco) came out pretty fast and it was delicious.
Been here for both dinner and drinks, great food great drinks! The music gets way to loud around the DJ though.
Great food and drinks! We ordered the nachos and they were amazing! Service was a little slow, but overall atmosphere was great. Music was great too!
Good food in cool setting. Beautiful servers. Good spot for a couple of beers and a snack. My local favorite...
