Bar 1911 is a quaint spot, tucked away with lots of potential. The only downsides are the lack of gluten free menu options and the parking needs a little tlc. Nevertheless, implementing these suggestions could easily elevate this rating to a 5!

What a really nice space. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and unique. We stopped in to get a coffee. We chose the shaken espresso and it did not disappoint. The flavor was very smooth and satisfying. They have so many offerings on the food front as well. We were there mid afternoon but I would suppose it is a happening place in the evenings. We will be back.

Such a cool spot. So they have a wide variety of Coffee and beer. All of this is featured inside what was an old jail house. Historically speaking the hangings were held in the room above, making it haunted. A must stop for any ghost Hunter or admirer of the abnormal

The atmosphere was awesome, some food was great (cheeseburger, Caesar salad) while some food was kind of... meh (ham sandwich was like we made it at home, nothing special). I really wanted to give this place 5 stars but the server was very slow and our food took a while. We were there at lunch time on a Wednesday. If I was working from a laptop and drinking coffee I think it would have been perfect. Or maybe later in the evening if I was saddled up at the bar drinking. All in all, it was a mixed experience, but it looked like it had enough potential where I would visit once more before making a final decision.

Awesome bar/cafe that serves delicious food and a good selection of craft beers and coffee. There is plenty of seating as well as board games and tv's, so this is definitely a chill place to go hang out for a few hours or get some work done. The Donair fries and donut balls were both delicious! We would definitely come back here if we get the chance.

Superb food! They only had half their menu available when we were there, but what they did have was FANTASTIC! We had the deep dish pizza and a chicken quesidilla. Fresh, delicious and perfectly cooked. Good sized portions also! They were short staffed but they hustled and got the job done. Would highly recommend this relaxed atmosphere place. Vegetarian options: They were able to accommodate veggie options.

Great spot. First time there. Lady at bar was amazing. Great personality. Ordered wings and pizza. Wings were really good. Pizza needs to be cooked on a sheet with holes to allow built up moisture to dissipate and about one minute longer. Pizza dough was still a big undercooked and doughy.

Really wanted to like this place when visiting PEI last weekend. We attended the comedy show, which was great, but the staff and kitchen were very underwhelming. The friend I came with has many dietary restrictions so we called ahead to find out what could be made vegan/gluten free and were told that she could have the quesadillas or nachos. We come and are then told bluntly that she couldnt have the quesadillas sometimes we have the corn tortilla sometimes we dont. She decided to order the nachos and when they came, it was just cheese and beans on it. None of the other toppings listed from the menu. When asked, again we were bluntly told we dont have the guac right now. The quesadilla I ordered was supposed to have peppers, onions, cilantro and taco sauce. Instead I received dried out/flavourless cheese and chicken, nothing else. The waitress excused it by saying that their menu is under renovation. If thats the case, this establishment needs to print new menus or be clearer when people are ordering. It is a huge disappointment to order one thing and receive another. And we both experienced it. And the staff were cold and blunt and not kind about any of it.

5 stars cause of the manager. What a great place to go with friends. You can have coffee or drinks alcohol or non acohol. We had a great time. The glass that the drinks come in are cool and unique. Nice wine glasses and beer glasses. When we asked the manager if we could purchase the glasses she said No. The bar does let you buy them. I wish they would sell these glasses and beer glasses . They would make a great addition to my collection. We are from Saskatchewan all we wanted was a nice token of a great spot in Charlettown PEI. Ya there are hats but really the GLASSES ARE WHERE ITS AT. The server and manager (nice young lady, very friendly, does her work very well) they where great. I am sorry I forgot your names. If your in Charlettown you should stop here. Well thought out and friendly. P.S Love the glasses. Wish I could buy them. Cheers. Thanks Sam

Nice cozy setting and the food we ordered was very tasty. Seemed like they were expecting it to have been quieter as only one person was working the bar and taking orders, however they were friendly and even brought us over some complementary cookies as we had to wait a bit for our food. Who ever that person was was working hard and did an awesome job.

Located in the basement of the old prison, this is a high-quality Quebec-Ottawa style gastro pub. The crowd is mixed and varies during the day from business casual to working students to dates to louder groups. Food selection is higher pub type, tap options are fantastic. Prices a little higher than expected but youre paying for quality and fantastic service from the crew here, who are exceptional (like much of our island).

The service, atmosphere, and food were all pretty good. Disappointing though they couldnt serve us the only vegan breakfast option we came there for (of 3 total options). My London Fog was also terribly weak, tasted like just milk basically. I feel like he just put the tea bag directly into the steamed milk to steam, so it just floated on top, never really steeping properly. But the server was very nice and ran upstairs to grab us some honey sriracha.

Takeout experience was fast, ordered over the phone, picked up from the counter on-time! Burger was delicious (ordered the Burger Love 2020 burger, forget its name), but felt like I could eat the fries with my meal without being completely gorged. Only critique would be that the burger was a bit well done for my tastes (well seasoned but maybe slightly overcooked).

We must have went on a really off day because our experience was nothing like the reviews here. We walked in and we were immediately greeted, and we informed them it was our first time there. They informed us that menus were on the table and sit wherever wed like. We picked a neat looking table that was an upcycled cable roll. First thing we noticed were the 3 bolt holes in the table FILLED with old food and crumbs (a celiacs worst nightmare). This table was wiped down before we got there, so its not like it wasnt cleaned. Its literally probably a day or two worth of nasty build up though, so avoid this tables if possible. After 17 minutes, we finally got to put in our order. There was other customers present, but they were all attended to. However the female worker was attending to her phone and social media. The male server came back to us about 20 minutes later asking WHAT WE ORDERED. Hes the one that took our order. It was 2 coffees and nachos. My mom took me here as a night afternoon out since my life has been turned upside down my a recent diagnosis. One would expect a coffee within 37 minutes, however the beans werent even being ground until we stood up and started walking out. So extremely disappointed.

The location is weird the middle of nowhere by Charlottetown standards but that might work for it rather than against. The renovation has transformed the space into a pleasant den-like room. Coffee is well prepared. The only knock is the presence of many huge TVs on all walls, which tilt it sports-bar when it could have gone quiet-club.
