The service was exceptional. Someone dropped a knife and before they picked it up a server was there with a new one. Tasty food, the chicken sandwich and the fish and chips were on point. A perfect pub vibe for a night out in Orillia

We love to go for Paul's trivia. It makes for an entertaining evening. Great for small groups and couples. It can be loud and the accoustics can be trying because everyone is so engaged in trivia. Also, it can be hard to get a reservation as it is so successful! The servers managed so well to smoothly get our food and drinks to us in between trivia questions.

Service was excellent! Seating was a little tight. Draft beer was nice and cold. Nachos were large and tasty. Chicken wings were disappointing. Too big and tough—woody. Suggest sourcing smaller but better quality wings.

Honestly we were told about this place, so we thought we’d give it a try. I liked the restaurant look, small and older looking inside. Nice wood affects. But the food…. Terrible. Chicken wings were greasy and fatty, the Brussels sprouts were burnt and not a great flavour, the fish and chips was mediocre at best and small portion. The best thing was the beer - “Harp”. I was definitely disappointed:(
