   Went for trivia night. It was fun. Food was not great. Nachos were cold and soggy. Beer was good. Have a beer but eat elsewhere.

   Nice light-filled room, great variety of beers to try. Service was attentive and super knowledgeable about the many different beers and provided good recommendations. Food was OK - mostly pub style stuff, was edible but not great. Place is a little soul-less in terms of ambience - bit like a cafeteria set up, table wise, vs. a pub or restaurant.

   Great casual atmosphere. Good food and service. Fabulous location. Usually live music on Friday evenings but preempted my NHL playoffs this evening. Fish and chips is good but greasy. Of course hard to please a Newfoundlander when it comes to fish. Food was hot.. nachos were amazing! Overall great experience and kid friendly!

   I've eaten here before and I really enjoyed the food, drinks, and service, so I brought my friends in from out of town to eat here last friday after an event. I made a reservation a few days in advance, and when I arrived I was told there was no reservation under my name and that they couldn't seat us. On the way back from the restaurant, I had checked my phone to see a second confirmation had gone through via text days after I initially reserved it, which I had not seen prior. This was a big disappointment since I had really looked forward to this evening with my friends, and we ended up in a fast food drive thru instead.

   Hi Emily - the team is actively looking into this with OT as I type this out. We're very sorry that you had this experience - one no one should have with us here at the Brewpub. We'll definitely make things right and have already been in touch to get more info from you. Cheers, TB

   We came into to town to see the blue jays and came across GLB. Food was good and staff was very friendly.

   A great selection of craft beers and live music on weekends. Only tried appetizers this time, quality was pretty good

    Nice spot to try awesome beers along with great service and food. Hosted a group of 20 for lunch, and everyone enjoyed it.
