Understaffed and the staff does not know the menu. They seemed unsure about what ingredients were in the food and had to check with the kitchen who seemed unsure about what was in stock. -Menu listed gluten free buns but they are sold out -Menu listed sweet potato fries but they are sold out (was informed about this 45 minutes AFTER ordering SPF) -Menu listed chocolate cake but they are sold out -Music was absurdly loud at 8pm which ruined the atmosphere -Bill came with sweet potatoes fries upcharge still on it

in terms of delivery, they were relatively quick with preparing the food. food was okay but nothing spectacular, proportions were small for the price. just based off of ordering for delivery, i would not choose to go to Hooligans!

Horrible service, severely understaffed. Ordered mac n cheese, this wasn't my first time here, usually everything is good but today they changed the kind of pasta in mac n cheese, also the portion was so small, the plate wasn't even halfway full. Other than that my cocktail was horrible I told the waitress she told me there is nothing she can do about it. She definitely needs an attitude check. This place used to be good, just getting horrible now. There is a lot more better places nearby, you might wanna go there.

Seriously? Processed cheese on chicken parm?? The description even says topped with mozzarella. Extremely disappointed and turned off by this place now. I ended up peeling the thick layer of disgusting processed cheese off the chicken and just ate it plain. Who wants processed cheese on their chicken parm. Not sure what happened here tonight but you ruined my dinner, and lost a customer.

Ate here today. Service was not great and it wasn’t busy. Food was subpar. Heard a waitress argue with a customer when they were discussing how Europe doesn’t tip and she said “well we’re not in Europe we’re in Canada”. Ordered 5 meals and only 4 came. My kid had to wait an extra 20-25 mins for his chicken fingers & fries (we were all done eating by the time his food came). Waitress blamed kitchen staff and kitchen staffed blamed waitress. All in all I would not recommend this place, patio isn’t worth it.

This place is very nice, especially the roof top patio during the summer. Some servers need to work on their customer service. I wanted to say a special thank you to Gabriella for her wonderful customer service. Overall a great experience, will return.

Original review: Came here with three of my friends for dinner and drinks. We split a couple of pitchers of sangria and I ordered the baja tacos which were tasty. We got to the restaurant around 8 and we didn’t leave until 10:40. Our waitress was very friendly but not very attentive. She had come back to our table after we finished our food and drinks at 9:54 and told us that at 10pm drinks were going to be $3. We showed interest and asked if she would be able to come back in a couple of minutes so we could order more drinks. She didn’t come back to our table until 10:35 and that was only because my friend had waved her down. At that point we just wanted the bills and to leave. She gave us our bills and then walked away to another table to give them their bills and to let them pay despite them being sat well after we got to the restaurant. We would have been more understanding if the restaurant was busy; however, there weren’t many other people there when we were. Overall, food was tasty but service was slow. UPDATE July 2024: went on the roof top patio for drinks and food with friends since it’s one of the best view of the lake downtown Barrie. They gave two of my friends dirty glasses, 2/4 of the app plates were dirty, the second pitcher of sangria that we had was dirty. The sangria didn’t taste good, my mojito tasted like pure soda water. Our nachos were mostly dry chips without cheese or other toppings and the sour cream was goopy where you would dip your chip and it’d look like liquid glue on your chip.

So happy to have Hooligans back! After being sold and waiting months for a liquor license, I can imagine it’s been rough for the business. We just dined in for the first time in a while and the new menu items are great and the staff and venue are fantastic. Can’t wait to be back soon (: Highly recommend

I ordered Uber Eats last night from Hooligans without realizing they had changed ownership. I have to say the food was terrible. The only good thing we got was the deep fried pickles, which obviously come premade and they deep fry them (hard to mess up) We ordered burgers, and the chicken parm. Burgers were terrible, I can make a better burger on the bbq at home, and the chicken parm was probably the worst I ve ever eaten. The food used to be amazing here, sad to see that the new ownership has ruined that reputation! Won t be ordering again.

Don t waste your time. Hair in the food, wait staff don t know what they re doing and you can expect to wait over 40 minutes for appetizers. Nice view though.

Piss poor service, 3 hours to get food and I had to flag down the waiter twice. Buddy of mine didn t get his food or drink within hour and a half so just went somewhere else. Wings were good tho but not worth the time sink

I have never needed to wait so long for food. I got my drink after being here for 45 mins. The food came after an hour and a half and it was dry. The waitress checked on us once. This place used to be good now it s one of the worst places I ve been to. The wraps are so dry. Really disappointing. If I could give half stars that s what this place would get.

July 21, 2024

Waited over 40 minutes for my first drink, ordered my food as the same time as my drink but we got our food another 40 minutes later and it was wrong. Disappointed is an understatement, I won t be returning. Much better service else where downtown Barrie.

Cold on patio but said they d only put on heaters if loud enough group/crowd? Said they don t have anything on tap but you can go downstairs to get it yourself? Service took forever. Unfriendly. Asked for garden salad as side and got fries. Got a Greek salad for $16. Said it came with naan (for some substance) and didn t even come with it. Hardly any dressing just lettuce with huge pieces of onion. Only good thing was the sesame chicken bite but cold by time they got to us.

love the double bar setup for live music & clubbing

June 21, 2024

Tad disappointed with today s service. Half the staff were very young with not enough restaurant experience. They were too busy competing to be behind the bar, which made them forget to get refills or ask if we needed anything. Condiment bottles were empty, she knew it and still have them to us. We asked for drinks when she came around and we got them after we were done the food. The cook didn t follow any instructions as well .. overall no bueno. With the event happening today in Barrie, this is prime time to make an impact with your customers! Service should at least be a 4/5. Need some older staff with restaurant experience to correct the young employees. Sorry for the review , but wishing you good luck

Ordered off of Uber Eats, and waited over an hour for my order to be done. I ordered 2 buffalo chicken poutines, upon arrival they were extremely dry and the bits of gravy that were visible, were gross and jelly like (the way gravy separates when it is old). Couldn t even eat it. First and last time I ll be spending money here.

Four nights ago was my very first time ordering Hooligans on Uber Eats for delivery and I was pleasantly surprised!. Three of us orderd a pound of Buffalo chicken wings, fries, Mac n cheese and garlic bread. It was delicious!. We enjoyed it so much we orderd it again tonight! Lol. It was even better this time! Yum!.

Very disappointed with our dinner. 3 of us ordered 3 meals and each of us were not happy with the meals. The meals described on the menu and not what you get. A Greek salad came with no feta? Hair found on the rim of a glass. Service was very slow. We wont be coming back.

We went there for the LEAFS Game 7 game. Food and service was decent BUT when it came to paying the bill it took 4 (FOUR) times to correct it. They kept overcharging us so please BEWARE! Check your bill before paying it...staff got very annoyed when I tried to show them them their error. Very poor customer service!

We went early to have some drinks and apps before the rest of our work crew arrived. It wasnt busy at all. They messed up orders, and had no fruit for the sangria or no limes or lemons for the drinks. The pop was swamp water and they knew it had to be changed but was lazy to go up to the mezinie to get a replacement. Also said they were too busy to cut up fruit and limes. Lets be more prepared before we start our shift perhaps? We ended up leaving early and our work crew went somewhere else to have a better service. Will not be going back, which is too bad because the patio was a great spot to go to in the summer.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Holligans Gastro Bar, and I must say, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The General Manager truly sets the tone for the entire establishment with her warm, welcoming demeanour and meticulous attention to detail. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a smile. The service was impeccable - our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, offering insightful recommendations that enhanced our dining experience. Each dish we tried was expertly prepared with fresh and high-quality ingredients, from the crispy calamari to the hot and honey chicken wings, every bite was a delight for the taste buds. But what truly set this experience apart was the General Manager. She made a point to check in on each table throughout the evening, ensuring that everyone was enjoying their meals and drinks and having a pleasant time. Her genuine care and dedication to creating a positive atmosphere made all the difference, and we left feeling like valued guests. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Holligans Gastro Bar enough. With its exceptional service, delicious food, and a fantastic General Manager, it truly stands out as a top-notch dining and bar destination in Barrie. I will certainly be returning in the near future.

Was nice and quiet when we went. After coming back from the bathroom, my friend, who happens to be black, was cutoff and they refused to serve her anything after five drinks cause they believed she was doing drugs in the bathroom. Jayden was a blessing and super understanding and helped sort the issue but the fact that she was targeted and not myself, who had more than double her drinks, it was inexcusable. Also when giving them cash they do not return any of it! We did it twice and we never got the change, they just took it as their tip without asking. Not a great place at all :/

We went to Hooligans for an early dinner tonight. They werent that full initially but service was still extremely slow, as they were short staffed (totally beyond their control) .The fish and chips look nothing like the ads they have in the window, the fries were good but the fish tasted as if they forgot to add any salt. There was some confusion with our order so it was somewhat stressful. The woman who seemed to be in a manager type of role was very pleasant and sweet to our little guy.

Wow!! All I can say about Hooligan s restaurant is a perfect place to host a party. I planned a surprise party for my mom and was emailing back and forth for months with Adam, the manager. He was so responsive and communicative on expectations. I lived out of town so I had many questions. On celebrating the party, our waitress was so lovely and sweet. She was polite and organized. it was a group of about 15 and they had another party upstairs, but our section was totally blocked off and private from the rest of the restaurant. We stood and mingled, decorated the space with balloons and table toppers and they put no time restrictions on the celebrating. Hooligan s has a chef (karen or kathleen - can t remember her name) who made an amazing cheesecake birthday cake for my mom. It was exactly as described and so delicious. They went above & beyond for our party and my mom was so pleased. All the guests raved about the food and service. Thank you hooligans!

December 21, 2023

Waited anxiously to have a nice lunch with my husband for his birthday, was told we had to wait as there was no space in upper patio to seat two people, was also told that although Im disabled and need to a walker I wasnt able to bring my walker upstairs. I said that was fine I would figure it out. We then waited until a man came in asking for the upper patio, to our shock he was sent up, when I questioned to hostess about what had happened we were asked if we were waiting for someone by the same hostess that had told us to wait! So we left This restaurant/Bar (although they dont serve alcohol because they dont have a liquor license) does not care about there patrons. Very dissatisfied, would never go again.

Went there to watch the final soccer game, no alcohol license yet, server refused get us straws citing that they ran out, which was not true , like that s a very petty move, not sure why that was done, possibly because we looked like from out of town, still tipped full amount, would not recommend this bar for out of town visitors maybe , it s good thing license is delayed perhaps

December 21, 2023

Stay away. 4 of us ate here tonight and we wish we hadn t. No liquor license yet because of new owners who are supposed to be established in the business which is fine but the food and service was not. The menu was small with a lacklustre choose. We ordered and waited almost an hour for our food with only one table a head of us. When it came out the chicken on one sandwich was dry, burger was room temp and the HOOLIES CUBANO was dry and greasy with a funny taste that was room temp. After eating they cleared our plates and we waited 20 min before someone came close enough to us to ask for the bill. Shame it use to be good.

Myself, husband and son dined at Hooligans on Saturday June 17th 2023. I cannot say enough about what a great experience it was for the 3 of us!! Our server(really wish I would asked her name) was amazing! She recommended the Island burger and boy was she right!! It was delicious, a grilled chicken breast with pineapple and their secret sauce..lol. it was through the roof delicious and chef Mike is pure genious in the kitchen.Hubby had the smash burger and he said it was the best burger hes ever had!! To top off our wonderful experience was Hooligans manager Grace. This lady does a fantastic job, super friendly, welcoming and just made our dining experience even better!! I highly recommend everyone go check out this awesome gem of a restaurant located in Barries beautiful downtown. Grab a table up on the roof deck and enjoy the amazing views of our gorgeous Kempenfelt Bay. I told Grace were coming back for my birthday on July 3rd and Im so looking forward to it!! Well done Hooligans staff, we are most definitely going to be regulars. I give Hooloigans 10 stars!!!! Go try it out for yourself, you wont be disappointed.

What a great Place! I Have been going here for years and recently spent Canada day evening on the rooftop with my wife. The new owners are fantastic!! It doesnt make sense to open a bar if you dont have a license.....What about the staff? This is what the new owners understand. While probably losing money hand over fist, they are still open and keeping the staff that make hooligans what it is employed. Fantastic food, fantastic atmosphere, fantastic rooftop & fantastic staff! P.S (To the new owners) Please introduce Hoolie bites to the rooftop!

The steak wasnt steak, it was layers of lunch meat glued together. It started separating into layers as I cut it. I pointed this out and they apologized and took it away- but still charged us for it on the bill. Would never go back

December 21, 2023

I m not 100% sure on the Hooligans story but they recently acquired a liquor license and seem to have new owners. They also seem to be copying other local eateries like the Flying Monkey who added a locally sourced sausage charcuterie board to their menu. Hooligans doesn t do it as well and should stick to original ideas and executing them well.

It started with showing up at 4pm. We were originally told that they had no more smash burgers. How is that possible? It s just before supper time on a Sunday. Turns out they had one more left. We also ordered some Indian dish that was also out of stock. So we ended up ordering butter chicken, and a Cuban sandwich; along with two appys and a side Mac and cheese for the baby. Waitress brings out the Cuban sandwich. She was told to take it back as we still had not received our appys or the babes Mac and cheese. She was clearly dazed and confused but took it back. When the other two meals were done, all three meals came out. The Cuban sat under the warmer for 20 Mins while the top sandwich dried out, hard as hell and the fries were like cardboard. All I could do was eat the meat out of the sandwich. Our waitress couldn t even handle the situation, that she had to have the other waitress finish us up. What food we did get fresh was really good, so there is that. But we will never return. Running out of two main meals before supper has even begun on such a limited menu seems like poor business sense. Perhaps a lesson to waitresses as well. You can determine if folks will come back based on your service. Doesn t matter how good the food is if you don t know how to place an order. And a kitchen May want to remake a meal if you make a mistake and make it too early.

we had scheduled a recurring event there (3 events over the span of 3 months) we had the bad luck of the place changing owners after the 1st event (it was a nice place, but many of our guests didnt like the food at the 1st event but we wanted to honor the reservations we made -the server we had really nice and we loved her) When the new owners took over they didnt get their liquor license for a long time - so they delayed our event. closer to the new date, I tried to call to confirm the event. I left several messages on the machine and with servers who answered the phone, nobody called me back. I tried to reach them via Social media (instagram AND facebook), plus via the website contact form, NOBODY called me back. Milestones in Barrie accommodated the last minute event with 30 people. This happened over the spring, still now in September nobody has ever called me back to follow up, despite that I had 2 events on their calendar. I understand that there are hiccups when opening a new business but to not get back to me for several months is just stupid. I will NEVER go there. TERRIBLE!!

December 21, 2023

Absolutely disgusting. Made a reservation days in advance. Had a party of thirteen took an hour before everyone was served their first drinks of the night. Dont even get me started on the food. Asked to speak with a manager, only to be told the manager wasnt here (to later find out this was the part owner who said this) scumbag had his waitresses come out and deal with the issue, couldnt even speak to me like a man.

Had a wonderful experience at Hooligans! We went out to celebrate my husbands birthday, and there was a large, rowdy group watching the hockey game. This is to be expected to some degree when choosing to eat at a sports bar, however when we asked to be relocated to a quieter spot, Jessica (the manager) was so accommodating that she escorted us to the upper floor which they had closed off as they were short staffed! The level of service we received tonight from both Jessica and Johnny was the icing on the (birthday) cake! Definitely will be returning for the deep fried cheese curds too!!

Went here for a birthday dinner last night. We were on the top floor and had two servers. Service was pretty slow but it was understandable because there was two of them for a whole group of us. After some of us left one of the waitresses was showing paid bills to the birthday girl and complaining about the tips she s received. My boyfriend and I tipped 20% on our bill but she instead showed someone else s bill to the birthday girl and referenced us by name explaining we gave a bad tip and she was not happy. Not only is this completely dishonest but also incredibly unprofessional. I won t be returning for this reason.

Never coming back. Only good thing here are the tvs.

O M G THE CUBANO WAS THE MOST DELICIOUS THING IVE EVER HAD I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND YOU CAN SEE MY FACE WITH ME CONTEMPLATING LIFE BECAUSE THE FLAVOR IS SO GOOD. WOULD DRIVE TO CANADA FROM FLORIDA AGAIN SO I CAN EAT MORE.

December 21, 2022

Sat on the rooftop with a limited menu. Ordered wings and fries. Worst wings Ive ever had. If you are going to serve bar food your wings should at least be good. Wings were fried unseasoned and without flavour. Could see freezer burn in the wings. I ate the fries and three wings and left the rest. Very disappointed.

Tell me why drinks are more expensive on the rooftop patio than they are downstairs in the main restaurant? Service was mediocre at best, nice girls, but very slow and barely came around. Food was ok I don t understand the whole two menu thing, but it is what it is. Not sure I ll be returning.

Excellent service. Ate on the patio roof. Great ambiance. Came with about 25 people. Many who ordered wings. The wings did not receive good marks. They were under cooked. Not satisfied about that part of the experience.

If you can t maintain the orders in line you should not allow too many people to sit and get the full restaurant waiting for their food. People who came after us getting food in 15 minutes and earlier but we were waiting there for like 38 minutes and nothing every time waitress is comes with a new sorry and a new excuse

December 21, 2022

Strange system of service: waiting downstairs to be seated on the patio, one has to transfer drinks in plastic cups and take it to the patio... The burger was..I wouldve never thought there could be something worse than McDonalds.

Will never go back. The staff is very young and untrained. The manager, when I ask to speak to him, is a NO SEE ME!!! The burger, I ordered a second patty, was like ground cardboard!!! I had a stomach ache all night. The Caesar salad was edible. The restaurant does not have a theme. Hooligans, means rowdy, irresponsible people. That is correct. The three guys sitting next to my table were young and their lack of education or knowledge of vocabulary resulted in every second word being f...k. A truly British saying, I am wondering if Prince Charles makes use of this word this often??? Shut this place down. Unfortunately the people get fooled by the roof top. The furniture is cheap and ugly. In fact as I said close the door and throw the keys into the lake.

I am not one for bad reviews, so if you see one.... there is a very good reason! The two stars go to the rooftop view, the cold beer, the coconut beverage my girlfriend loved, oh and the sweet potato fries! The Cubano is Spanish for grease with meat sandwich and if that is your thing, you will love it... the burger was tasteless, there was zero seasoning on those patties! The main reason why I decided to leave this review (just decided to drop my two star review down to a one) was the 15 DOLLAR caesar salad with lettuce greens, croutons and dressing!! NO BACON, a bowl of greens and dried bread squares for 15 BUCKS!! If I go back, I will check out the rooftop patio at The Works...

I went to Hooligans on a Thursday. It was not busy. Ordered a spin dip to start. The cheese on the top was not fully melted and the centre was not hot. The pitas were cut to big and not toasted or warmed at all. My wine was stale. (a wine I normally drink at home). My salad was swimming in dressing. Too many onions on everything! The service was mediocre. Not friendly. Seemed like they were rushing us even though the restaurant was not busy. My first and last time here.

Went with friends.. it was a wait to get into the top section so we had drink inside. Friendly staff all the way around. Got to the roof. Watched sunset. Its a must. Ordered food.

My friends and I went to this restaurant two days ago to grab some food and we had an awful experience here. Were all around 17-19 years old and immediately felt uncomfortable around the staff here. After being seated our server began speaking rudely to us and not creating a welcoming environment. What made it worse was that she was treating those seated at nearby tables with a fun and upbeat personality. On top of this, the two chefs at the open kitchen on the rooftop werent wearing masks despite being close to customers and staff, and making food. As well, the other staff would occasionally take their masks off for seemingly no particular reason. The food was nothing special and really overpriced as well (I was charged $25 for a side of fries, one pepsi, and a side order of chips and salsa). My friends and I were incredibly upset with our experience here; we were anxious, uncomfortable, and just wanted to leave.
