Village Pub

A cozy little local
was Friday, and they had a wing special. Staff were friendly.

More than once we’ve come for a beer. More than once we were ignored. More than once we’ve walked out after 15 minutes after sitting down.
One time the owner gave us menus and walked away!
Saw us after ten minutes and looked at his under staffed employees and still did nothing.

I have stopped in here off and on over the years only because of location. It has gone thru several ownership changes/​name changes over the years. Each and every time I go I think to myself as I’m leaving that it will be my last. The food has always been underwhelming at a premium cost and the beer has as a rule been flat more than not. The only saving grace is that the staff have usually been friendly and service okay. Well, I stopped in here again today, again because it’s convenient, thinking I’ll just have a beer. Well, the waitress came and took my order (remember it was only a beer) and for the next 20 minutes preceded to talk with the patrons who were there when I came in. She was sitting down at the table of patrons near the entrance talking with them as I walked out the door with not a word from her. Absolutely the last time I go there. I’m usually pretty fair and understanding but that is pathetic.

Went for a bite for dinner and a beer. Doesn’t even have a regular food menu any more, only an appetizer menu. Ended up leaving. Owner doesn’t seem to want to make improvements to place, always trying to cut corners.

I’ve lived in the neighborhood for years and although I’ve been here 3 times in my life, it has changed names and ownership a lot. I went there with my cousin today for some pub food. It’s nothing steller, just your standard pub grease and beer with décor to match, total trailer pub which is a novetly on it’s own. The service wasn’t steller, however, it was pub service, therefore, we knew what to expect. Even though we had a great time and there was an awesome live band playing, it gets a low rating ’cause well… it’s a neighborhood pub with somewhat good service and pub grease. It’s cute in it’s own way and has a bit of a truck stop charm.

Great little pub in the Champlain heights area. Not much of a food selection but the salt and pepper wings were delicious. We came here after golfing at the fraserview golf course. Not a big place and not a lot of tvs but the servers were friendly and the foods were above average.
Would definitely go back.

Hidden away as it is in the funny little neighbourhood of Champlain Heights, the Village Pub is a great find. It’s as cozy a pub as you would want to find, with authentically pubby décor, good service, a respectable list of drafts, and entrees in the meat ‘n’ two veg tradition.
I was here with a large-​ish group for a friend’s birthday, so was impressed with the servers’ ability to keep track of all the separate checks as well as the quick drink service for new arrivals.
The food was just OK. Meat was pretty good (I had the bangers and mash), and the gravy tasted homemade, but the mashed potatoes were bland and the other veggies were plain, large and underdone, but edible. However, the fries I stole off my friend’s plate were crispy and tasty, and my other friend had a club sandwich that was so thick it seemed to fly apart as she tried to eat it. But then again, good pub food is really just sort of a bonus — it’s the beer and the atmosphere that count most. And I had a good time and would completely go back when I’m again on the crazy winding trails of Champlain Heights.
