The Churchill

Instant love connection here! This place definitely had my type of vibe and an amazing list of beers on tap to boot. Dimly lit, laid back, and almost goth-y style and decor. I sat the long wooden bar and could not resist trying a pint of a raspberry mango coconut sour. I was only in the area for a few hours as it was the last port stop for the cruise I was on. I sat there listening to the great music, sipping my beer, and reading on my Kindle. Quite a few booths, but all full on a Saturday night. Not too loud and overwhelming either. If I ever come back, definitely straight back here.

I am giving the overall bar a 5! It's a super fun bar located right off the major street in Victoria. I was visiting for only 4 short hours. We wanted to grab a beer and head back to the boat.

The atmosphere is super fun. We were greeted right away and I was overwhelmed with the beer list. The server let me try a few. I don't think she heard me because it was a little loud. I ended up getting a beer I wasn't a fan of. I'm not one to send things back so I drank what I had. 1 star for the beer I had.

This place has MANY drinks to try from. I didn't see a food menu. They might have one. I also didn't see a physical menu, it was scanned from the bar.

Still recommend going here!

Good ambiance, for drink or a snack. The bar is fully stocked and the food is ok.
Service can be slow sometimes so if you're not rushed it's the perfect spot.

Stopped by on the way back to cruise ship. Service was good, atmosphere looked great, had one old fashioned.

Great service in an old school beer/whiskey bar. Tons of choices. I recommend having time for tasting a few.

Went there twice this year. The first time I went there with friends around 8:45pm on a Thursday with friends for food, but they said they already had closed the kitchen. We were surprised and disappointed. There was NO mentions online of the kitchen closing thus early. We already had drinks, mine wasn't that great, strong with alcohol, but it also had cucumber in it that weren't fresh....mushy with a spoiled after taste. The service was barely okay. The waitress did not seemed to care that much about her job and served us as if we were an inconvenient...until it was time for us to pay and tip her...

The second time I went there, we were able to order food. The food was alright, but pricey for the portions that you get. We had some whisky, I'm no whisky/scotch drinker, but my friends says they had a nice list. The waiter was very helpful and plaisant. He knew his job well and gave great suggestions for food and drinks!
I will have to say, the place wasn't the cleanest, it wasn't super busy and the tables were a but sticky. The plexiglass at our table was smudge as if cleaned with a greasy cloth.

I was a disappointed with the ambiance, the place has great potential with the long bar, dim lights and the great display of all the bottles of spirit. But then you hear happy punk rock/ska music and you feel like your sipping scotch has turned into a $2 beer that should be served with slice of pizza at the same price.

This place is terrible. Literally just walked in with a group of 5, on a very slow day. The bar was mostly empty, with the exception of two pockets of people at each far end of the bar. There were TWO bartenders, one per group. So we grabbed a seat in the middle empty section. 15 minutes goes by, while the two servers continued to talk to their "peeps," occasionally making eye contact with us like we were two-headed beasts from mars. After zero attention, we all stood up confused, and proceeded to walk out. At that point, 15 minutes in, the male server appeared to gain some form of consciousness and slowly walked our way as we were leaving. I gave him a double thumbs up and we all left. Eff this place. One star is too many. The owner should fire the two servers "working" this place. If we did our jobs the way these two did, we'd all be out of work.

Went in the middle of the day on a weekday and found that we got the entire place to ourselves. We decided to try a couple drink and the one that stood out to me the most was their impeachment#2. It was so light and refreshing, I would definitely recommend. As well as their poutine it was my first time trying and it was so delicious!

The female server was terrible and not to mention rude. We had one drink and got out alive.

Not a good spot unless you like bad service.

We stopped by here on a Saturday night looking forward to this spot since we heard so much about it from friends. The bartenders were attentive, drinks tasted great, and service was quick! 3 stars due to the host and hostess in the front. Not very welcoming and looked as though they were being bothered when customers walked in the door. There was a 20 minute wait when we got to the restaurant, which was not a problem, so we asked if we can just grab a drink at the bar while we wait for our table and they just stared at us as if we were aliens. As if that was such an obscure question to ask. After an awkward pause, they shuffled around for I don't know what and then pointed to the bar seats that we can go to. Weird.
