Our building was first home to the Bank of Montreal, built-in 1894 by Sir Francis Rattenbury. It was Rattenbury’s first design in the chateau style stonework used 10 years later in his development of the iconic Empress Hotel. Today within our walls you will discover cozy fireplaces, rich dark wood, Victorian-etched glass doors and windows, shining gold chandeliers and a fascinating collection of memorabilia.
The traditions of Ireland have been extended to our menu, which has been developed by the philosophy of food for the body, offering Irish classics like bangers & mash, shepherd’s pie and our famous Irish stew. We incorporated the most delicious pub-style cravings like our bacon & brie burger, crispy cauliflower wings, and creamy seafood chowder. 
Enjoy a Drink for the spirit with a perfectly poured pint of Guinness or savour Victoria’s best Irish coffee. We also boast over 40 taps from local craft breweries and around the globe and have the largest selection of Irish whiskeys in Canada as well as an amazing wine list featuring some of British Columbia’s best grapes.
Music for the soul is heard 7 nights a week, from East and West Coast Celtic to blues, classic rock and more. Starting at 8:30 pm nightly, there’s a genre for everyone.  On Friday and Saturday afternoons, you can also catch musical acts playing traditional Celtic tunes from 4 pm to 7 pm.
We look forward to greeting you with a warm Irish welcome in the heart of downtown Victoria.
Come for the Guinness, stay for the Craic.
Sláinte!
