Cheese Australian fry at The Guiness Tavern by the double decker is a game-changer! The combination of flavors and textures is pure genius. The presentation is stunning, and the portion size is generous. Each bite takes us to a world of delicious delight. The chef's Swaraj skill and creativity are evident in every aspect of this dish. Don't miss out on this culinary masterpiece!

We came in with the intention of having supper and spending the evening. The person running the bar was nice and took our order of 3 different cocktails pretty quick. Despite us and one person sitting at the bar being the only people there, it took about 30 minutes to get our drinks... We contemplated staying but we ended up going elsewhere. We got shots with different amounts and one of the cocktails (some sort of special long island) was very small in size. To bad.

Best steak in town, also you wont find a better price for the massive 2 steak sizzler in Brandon for steak, waitress was Excellent! Everything I have tried there from the wings to there poutine is has been super delicious👌 . Ya its downtown, but in my opinion the best place to eat in Brandon if you want a good tasty meal. worth trying, never really even thought about the place till a friend took me there one day and said "seriously they have the best steak", and it was true.

Post pandemic and this place is up and running under new management. You won't be sorry! I went for lunch at the grand re-opening and enjoyed a fish and chips dinner. The prices on opening day were 40% off the whole menu! Good way to bring us in. They have Wing Nights again like the former Double Decker did. Staff is friendly and professional. I will return again.

Vegetarian options: Very disappointed by the taste and way my food was cooked my daal tadka only had oil in it there was no daal it was just onion and garlic soup price for just daal n 1 cheese butter masala is crazy it was like 35$ quantity was so less could not even feed 2 people waited for about 30 mins to get 2 items whole restaurant was almost empty such a waste of money. For reference look at the picture and amount of oil daal had

The Guinness Tavern is a fantastic spot with amazing food and a fun atmosphere. Their karaoke nights on Thursdays are a hit, and they offer a variety of games like a pool table and slot machines. Must-try menu items include the mac and cheese, wings, bacon burger, and minestrone soup and just to much to list. Overall, The Guinness Tavern is a great place to enjoy delicious food, entertainment, and a memorable night out with friends.

1 star was too much, went in, told the bartender what I wanted while kareoke was on, asked for a music list she referred me to a guy who wanted to fight. Than when I told her what drink I wanted was hanging out with the guys singing and I got ignored. Went to the manager and he just brought her back to me. So I just left. Worst service in Brandon. Also if you look at good reviews mostly friends or family, they know nothing about customer experience

Their warm personalities and attentive service truly make each visit an enjoyable experience. For those seeking an entertaining night out, Guinness Tavern has you covered.

This place is a waste of time and money unfortunately. My coworkers and I went here for wing night as we had heard good things and the reviews were good. We walked in and it was a ghost town at 530pm on a Wednesday. The waitress couldnt seem to understand us very well and we had to repeat our orders a couple times. Placed our orders for food and drink. It took over 10 minutes for our drinks to arrive which was only a shock because there was only 2 other people there and all we ordered was a water and two soft drinks. Food came out 10 min or so after that. The wings were fried to a crisp with barely any meat on them. We didnt finish them. I also got 2 steak tacos that looked like yesterdays steak just got microwaved and then put some sauce on it. Dont waste your time going here, especially for the wings. I hate leaving poor reviews but I dont want anyone to be disappointed by this place again.

Little disappointing since under new management. Still a little divy, dirty walls and windows, noticed the new floors but thats about it. Not sure what theme/identity theyre aiming for whether it English/Irish pub or something else but the menu doesnt reflect that or the music they have playing. I will say the food was good, portions, service was fine, inexperience on the bar side of things was evident. First time Ive ever had a mojito with lemons, watered down not able to taste any alcohol, likely due to the fact it was served in a large water glass. Id say give them a shot and see for yourself.

They are making an effort to create a good environment and the staff are improving since the reopening. However, the menu prices just dont reflect the quality of the food. $19 for very lack luster nachos, no bueno! And $4 for extra salsa, pfft.

We went for the OG Decker Wings on a Wednesday because theyre tasty and a great price. Sangrias were also on special that day and the one made with white wine and pineapple juice was the perfect amount of sweetness. However, the flavour standout for me that evening was the Butter Chicken Poutine with the house-made butter chicken gravy. It had a bit of heat, chunks of tender chicken, cheese curds, and fries. Ill be ordering it again!

Dated atmosphere, servers who dont want to be there, mismatch of seating that makes no sense but they have probably the best wings in Brandon. 25 cents each on Wednesday, I go every week. EDIT: The owner shut down half the restaurant to make tiny little bachelor suites for some reason. The place has never heard of air conditioning apparently and their wing prices went up considerably from the 25 cents they were a couple years ago. Wings are still good but more like once a month good now and in the winter not in the summer, who wants to eat hot wings in the heat.

I used to go there a lot. Almost every Wednesday for the wings special. They have nice atmosphere and live music, so it s a hot spot for causal dates. I believe, they also have karaoke night which I have rocked once in my life time . It is a two floor bar with a unique setup. Many organizations host socials there now and then. I am not very familiar with drinks and food there. As far I can remember, prices are reasonable. They often have deals on alcohol too. If you wanna mingle with people, go there during the weekend.
