Birds of a Feather

Location

Victoria's first Original Joe's opened up recently at the Westshore Town Centre. We went to check it out to see if this should be on our list of recommendations for our B&B guests. We were extremely disappointed with our 45 minute experience. Our only recommendation is, "Eat somewhere else."

Featuring 180º view of the Selkirk Waterway; part of Victoria’s working Inner Harbour, glo Europub is Victoria’s premier eating, drinking and socializing destination.

One of our favourite places to eat when heading north of Victoria. Normally an easy 40 minute drive to Duncan, a city known for its native arts centre and totem poles placed throughout the city - especially downtown near the train station. From homemade burgers to garlic prawns to pasta and seafood dishes everything is made with care and attention to detail. Very reasonably priced. The Craig Street Brew Pub serves their own skillfully crafted beers, made right on the premises by Brew Master Chris Gress.

A nice neighbourhood pub, the Waterwheel Pub is located off of Goldstream Ave in Langford. An airy and bright spot with none of the dark dinginess you might associate with pubs. A pool table upstairs, hearty and reasonably priced pub food and a casual and comfortable decor. The prime rib steak sandwich is alwasy tender. The pulled BBQ pork rib sandwich is a favourite with the regulars. Other standard pub grub all reasonably priced and tasty.

Local Bands often play here on the weekends.

Creative west coast fare, local seafood and a weekly fresh sheet specials are served for lunch and dinner, and can be enjoyed in the bay window overlooking the pub garden, or in front of a crackling fire. Soups and famous seafood chowder, are made daily and all entrees are made to order.

Built in 1894 as a stage coach stop seventeen miles from Victoria City Hall, the 17 Mile Pub House enroute to Sooke has retained its yesteryear charm. There is even a hitching post a visitor arriving by horseback.

Four Mile Pub is an English style pub located just outside downtown Victoria which draws a large local clientele as well as a crowd from downtown Victoria. The upscale pub fare combines old world style with a distinctively west coast influence. It boasts 16 beers on tap, an extensive wine and scotch list as well as a year round patio.
