Have always wanted to try this pub and it’s a great close location to Scotiabank arena. I had the fish and chips, the fish was good size but the batter was too hard and greasy at same time. I peeled most of the batter off. Others in the group had the chicken burger and hamburger - said they were ok. Another had appetizers - chicken bites, Brussels sprouts and rosemary fries - they enjoyed all these dishes. Service was decent.

Had a lovely time at the Bar Humbug Pop-Up for The Walrus Pub and Beer Hall. It was cozy, the service was great, and I definitely felt the holiday spirit. The decorations were so cute and inviting! I enjoyed the festive drinks too!

The bar humbug experience was generally disappointing. The festival cocktails were over complicated and not well thought out. The location seemed like an after thought and of a generally unused space. Also disappointed there wasn’t access to the entire menu and happy hour.

The fish and chips could surely be better. We had gone for lunch and the food overall wasn't that great

Went for a date night and had a great time! Service was great, ambience was nice, and the food came out in a reasonable time and was delicious. Would definitely go back again.

Had a very good peppercorn striploin steak. Angela was a great server and we could enjoy a good conversation as it was not loud
