Winks Eatery

Had lunch here recently (they also do all day bkfdt menu I think!) and enjoyed the Thai crispy chicken salad of generous proportion — delicious. Accompanying diners enjoyed some wings and the Reuben combo — all delicious. Good service and food!

I was here last night. I hope one day I can make it there for Rock N Roll Bingo. But when I was there, they had a drink and painting thing going on there. I had the baked burrito and Mexican fries. The burrito was just perfect and the Mexican fries was something different. I will recommend this place. You can have a lot of fun here with a group of friends.

Winks is the type of place you can leave at 230am and come back in 8 hours for a kick ass breakfast. The atmosphere is always good at night, and their pub fare is consistent in quality and tasty. Service is always friendly, even at peak times.

A nice bar with a nice wait staff. Came here on a Saturday and they had a live band. It was a little dead but I’ll attribute that more to thanksgiving weekend and joe kool’s bar. They had about 15 beers on tap, all at a good price. I did not eat here but they wings did smell great. I would actually come back here.

Great place to grab a drink and chill with friends Rock-​n-​roll bingo on Tuesday’s! Check it out!

This is my go-​to spot downtown for drinks or bar-​type food. It’s very consistent — I know I’m always going to get a good meal and a decent portion. If someone is looking for a quick, casual, cheap spot for food, this is usually what I recommend. In the past I’ve had the occasional sub-​par meal, but I find those things have all since been removed from the menu. They are always adding new things or special menus as well, but all my old favourites have stuck around.
I almost always go for specials — 69 cent wings on Monday are some of the best in town. Honey garlic, dry cajun, or sweet thai chili are all amazing. You need to buy a drink to get that price, but it doesn’t need to be alcohol. I also love the half price quesadilas on Wednesdays, which look small but are actually quite filling, especially if you add pulled pork. They do half-​price apps 4 – 7, but it’s not all apps, only selected ones. I’d also recommend the mexican fries (sinful) which you can get as a meal (huge, you might die) or a side, or the crispy thai chicken wrap. Sweet potato fries are always great, and I can never choose if I want sweet or regular and almost always choose wrong. I haven’t had a burger or breakfast in awhile but I used to order them all the time and I remember nothing but good things.
Service and food are usually fast, though when it’s busy they can get overwhelmed and it can be significantly slower.
Restaurant itself is alright, nothing fancy. They have late night bingo or shows, the few times I’ve been it’s been EXTREMELY busy for those. Dinner hour is usually fairly busy but there’s always somewhere to sit. I’ve been a few times late at night on weekends when there is a line to get in. They do have TVs, and a fireplace — don’t sit by the window because it gets EXTREMELY hot over there when the sun is out.

Last nights service warrants five stars. Our server was fast, extremely friendly and just fantastic. She was attentive to our needs and frequently checked up on us.
She reminded us that the big winks are a Monday night special after a few of us ordered smaller beers.
The food was absolutely delicious, hot and came out extremely quick.
Winks is great and I’m happy to update my rating to 5 stars.

Whenever I go to Winks, I know I am going to have a pretty fun time. This is probably my favourite place to grab a drink with friends. Whether we are in our sweats after a game, or stopping in at the patio on a sunny Sunday afternoon, this place is always welcoming and lively.
The crowd at Winks is mid-​twenties to 30’s so as a young professional, I feel like I fit in here. I find it is hard to find a spot in London that isn’t catering to an older adult crowd or students. But Winks fits the bill nicely.
Their food is quite good and they have good drink specials. I feel like some of their food specials could be expanded a bit more. For example, their «appy”-hour is from 4 – 7 and excludes certain apps that I like. That’s just me being picky though.
On Wednesday nights they host a trivia night which is a lot of fun. It starts at 8:30 and tables fill up quickly. They have lots of TV’s for the hockey game and there is karaōke some nights as well.

Great local place, very warm and welcoming, great whiskeys, good vibe. Family run establishment. Lively karaōke nights too. If you want good food and drink in a casual, friendly place in the middle of downtown, this is it.

I have eaten at this restaurant on a number of occasions as it is very local to me. There has never been a visit that was not enjoyed going here but wanted to take the opportunity to give it a quick review. On this particular occasion I was there for opening at 11:00am. Note the time, as the advertising outside and the website both indicate that it is 10:00am so this is important. I debated on getting breakfast, but instead opted to start with a Caesar Salad and then had the Tai Chicken wrap. The server kept my coffee full, but as it appeared she was still opening the restaurant a little inattentive at times. I had eaten half my meal, and was waiting to have it boxed up for almost 10 minutes while she counted the cash for the till. When she did finally come over, I said I wanted to take the rest to go so that I had room to eat desert. Unfortunately, instead of coming back with a desert menu as I had expected she came back with the bill. The do still keep me coming back though, as they have lots of items on the menu I like, and enjoy it even more when the patio is open. I find the interior to be very busy, and at times tacky. They are also getting more and more TV’s inside for the sports fan, so not sure if they are trying to make a change.

Stopped in here for a few drinks on Friday night. I had been in Wink’s once before many years ago though I think it was under a different name then. The atmosphere was nice, there was some good live entertainment, and the location was great for catching up with some old friends. Not too crowded, but lively enough that we had a great time.

My favourite downtown place for a pint. I am there at least once a month and usually a Thursday for their vodka special!
A casual atmosphere (jeans) and a diverse enough clientele that you’ll find students (sometimes taking out their parents) late 20, early 30 somethings etc…
Besides being a great little bar, you can grab breakfast, dinner or lunch on their newly renovated patio. Ask what the soup of the day is (last time it was dill pickle and it was MUCH better and milder than it sounds!!). The burgers are popular and rightfully so.
If you’re looking for a spot to watch UFC get there early or you’ll be standing.
Sometimes there is live music (Thursdays and some weekends) full bands tend to be too loud there (my only complaint)
Winks is one of the best, most comfortable places to relax with friends, have a «Big Wink» draft and not worry about impressing anyone or them trying to impress you. A place to just be real and have a great time.

Been here during the morning, noon and night and never been disappointed. I think the hidden gem is that they do put on a fairly decent breakfast and I never would have gone here for breakfast had I not heard from a friend. Good selection of beers on tap and have been very impressed by some of the live music that they get in. Strongly recommend if your downtown!

You wouldn’t expect this to be a good breakfast place (it’s really a bar), but it has very good omelettes made with high quality ingredients. Also good for a beer on the patio in the summer time!
