Whistle Stop Neighbourhood Pub

The food is SHOCKINGLY good and very well priced. It's a dive so it's got character and grunge but in the very best possible way. Quick service, huge menu and portion sizes. I love it! 2 glasses of wine and a brie $20. Daily food specials. I've tried many things on the menu and haven't been disappointed once! Highly highly recommend!!

Always a good place to go for pub food. I had the cod fish and chips this time and ordered the two piece thinking that they would be average size and I was hungry! Very surprised at the two huge pieces of fish. I tried my best but only managed one and a half pieces, though I did finish the chips! Price was also good at $17 for the plate.

Reasonably priced beer and pub food. Wings were good.

Just STOP at the Whistle Stop! This under-rated, 80% locals nice-little-pub has some CRAZY hidden gems. We had the steak-n-prawns special ($15 ) and the (you’ll need to sit down for this) STONEGRILL halibut. I can’t even. This seemed like an item that would be comfortable in any upscale urban restaurant. Pardon me going in and on about this menu item… it is a hot stone, 6”x6” (or maybe 6”x4”?) at 800 degrees, with lemons and then the halibut (raw) that cooks as you get oriented to your meal. You get salad or soup, an entire potato with fixins, and veggies. Add your butter to your veggies and then put them on the stone too! It is the freshest, hottest food you’ll have in a long time. 100% recommend this and there are steak options too. We had some good Guinness/ Kilkenny and hope the pub will feature even some cans of very local beer. Vancouver Island draft choices are good, but as always more would be better. Our server has been with the pub for 17 years and pretty much knows everyone which is saying something good. It’s down home, not fancy, keep your decor expectations low, but the menu and smiling faces mights surprise you in a good way. Sorry I ate all the food before I took the pictures. Also not sorry.

One of my favourites. The food is terrific. A full menu with really great pub food. I haven't had a bad meal. I think they have the best Wing Night (Mon & Thu) in the valley. The friendly staff are normally hoppin' keeping everyone fed and "watered". However, the building itself and bar have some great history, but are more than a little warn and dingy. I recommend eating here, not laying on the floor. Parking: Parking lot gets full on special nights of which they have many.
