One Duke Tavern in Hamilton

It was good, had the Novemburger.

We have been coming for a few years, and tonight has been the best service we have had! Rachel for the win!

Love the new look and the food is better then ever! The Fig jam and brie burger was delicious. The southern fried chicken sandwich was excellent and my new favourite. Also, im glad to see you are now serving fresh cut fries. So yummy.

No draught....a bit odd.

Victoria is a lovely and nice Very good service and nice attitude Food

Very nice atmosphere. I like the low lighting feel. Food is good only have had the nachos, fish and chips and smoked salmon . Victoria the waitress is very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely make it a spot to worth remembering.

We had an amazing night and Victoria is awesome Very kind and very good service. Highly recommend

Food took 50 minutes to get to our table

There was no Baileys and my coffee was full of grinds. All I got was a sorry.

HAMILTON GEM! Their service, food and ambiance, choice of music were amazing! We ordered white wine mussels and pasta and theyre both delicious. The drinks i got was made perfectly as well (The Marjorie & Lychee). Staffs were so friendly and went above and beyond, they made sure everything was okay, my fiancé and i felt very welcome. Were definitely coming back

Rachel was an amazing staff member very attentive and kind. She really made being at this location very fun. The oysters where also delicious and she recommended the Electric Lemonade drink that was delicious. Totally recommend.and check it out .!

Our evening at One Duke was nothing short of amazing. The atmosphere and the new renos are incredible. The dinner was absolutely delicious. Rachel, our server was the most genuine and the most sweetest soul. She recommended the Electric Lemonade as a cocktail and it was absolutely delicious as well. Rachel certainly did not disappoint and we look forward to coming back.

SO MUCH FUN! and the food is so good! the atmosphere is very relaxed, the layout is spacious and decorated beautifully. our server was fantastic too, she was super friendly and checked in on us frequently even while she was busy just to make sure we didnt need anything/were doing okay. i wish i had gotten her name so i could give her credit! really enjoyed my time here and hope to return soon!

Fantastic food, great taste and large quantity

Very spacious patio, the steak was cooked perfectly. Very attentive staff. Nice decor inside although I preferred sitting outdoors as inside might feel a bit cramped.

Everything about One Duke Tavern is a 11/10. The service is next level. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. Our waitress was incredible and so personable. Loved her. The food is phenomenal. Literally next level. Best calamari I ve ever had. The oysters were insane. I could eat 8 trays of those nachos they were that good. Our party tried a variety of items on the menu and everything was so so good. No misses. 100/10. This has absolutely become our new date night spot. Owned and operated by the new nicest guys in the world. Can t wait to visit again.

Definitely a Hamilton haunt, the food was great! The staff was 100/10. Not too busy on a early Saturday night. Loved it.

Had fish and chips. The fish is inedible. I dont know what spices you put on a nice piece of fish that I cant taste. The smell is equally off-putting. Tartar sauce with dill? This is what I chose for my birthday dinner big mistake. Keep it simple is always wise with delicate items. So disappointed.

Very casual and friendly

I wasn t expecting much of the food since it s a tavern but everything we ordered was amazing! Really good portions too, try the tortellini pasta or the chicken sandwich pasta

At the top. It feels good after a day on the road.

Waitress are greedy for tips.

Got their Dry Cajun wings and they were delicious as well as a few drinks! The service was excellent, the server was so nice and genuine! We always appreciate that. Thank you so much! Excellent experience. Server Name: Rachel

Great staff, great service and amazing atmosphere! The wings are top tier and the live music brings a great vibe to the city. 10/10

Great food, great drinks, great service, great place!

The best food i ve ever had, the cheesecake is to die for.

Wonderful patio but cluttered with unbussed tables and garbage on the ground. The service was terrible and the food was iffy. We waited about 15 minutes to order, though there were 2 servers and only 6 other patrons. Then after ordering I had to go inside after 30 minutes of waiting to see where she was. The oysters were very small ($2,75 each, maybe 1 1/2 long) and the basil on the margherita pizza was spoiled (brown). DO NOT BOTHER

Save yourself the trip for dinner unless you are just coming for drinks. Wait staff is great but the food... something leave to be desired. Fish & chips- uncooked batter and the Pollo loco bowl-could only be described as soupy? Come for drinks on patio!

Great food, server rarely came to our table and it took a very long time to get our order in.

Went on a Saturday night and a lot if the items on the menu weren t available. Went there specifically for oyster and they didn t have it. Didn t have lobster mac and cheese either. Pretty much any sea food they didn t have

Food and service were exceptional!!!

Amazing food, Jalapeño Smash burger was 10/10. so flavourful and juicy! our servers Martina and Ayla were very kind and helpful, would definetly recommend!!

Was taken care of by the wonderful Martina. She made my experience at this place just perfect.

Burger was garbage. Service was terrible. The girl at the bar preferred to chat at the bar instead of doing her job.

Great tuna tartar

Food was good. Grilled chicken sandwich was really big. Food took awhile to arrive for our party of 6. Atmosphere would be improved if it wasnt a hang out/meeting place for certain groups going in & out looking at their cars, smoking, parading about. I wouldnt take my kids here in the evenings.

I ve been coming here for years. I ve always had a great experience with the service and food. Shout out to my girls, yall are the best!! Most genuine staff around! Especially Ryley, she goes above and beyond. Also shoutout to Rachel! Love you guys

Great neighborhood eatery. Food and owners are fantastic! Opinion hasnt changed. Summer light menu even.

Rachel is the best server! Also, the fish tacos are amazing!

The place isn t quite the same as it was. This is my second time this year. First time was bad but I decided to try on more.I went today. Food wasn t cooked well. The menu has changed. They don t have a-lot of stuff in the menu. The fryer wasn t working. Oysters wasn t fresh as it use to be. The mood .. vibe isn t the same. Maybe it s good to go there only for drinks.

The fryer isn t working. Nothing available on the menu. Wasted time driving 2 hours.The Owner is very Rude. Food came was cold & soggy. I can now see it s not only me. so many bad reviews at this place never going there.

Drove over an hour to eat at this place and they re not even open. Been doing renovations for weeks without properly updating the public. Zero courtesy for customers

Love martina!

I don t write reviews, I ve never had such a horrible experience, server rarely came to our table, I ordered food over an hour ago, everyone got their food and finished over $400 bill just to still not get my food and get a half of an apology I wished you said something , our server never came to our table. She then asked if I wanted a cheesecake on the house. Worst service I ve ever had

A quiet Sunday evening meal that was as delicious as the service was friendly and attentive. The Tuna Tartare in Avocado Salad was excellent. After-hours street parking was available about a block away (at other times parking may be at a premium, due to the proximity of the nearby general hospital). A short walk in an older but very pretty neighbourhood brought us to One Duke. We will definitely return in the future, when hopefully the owner (son of a high school friend) is able to be in hand, so we can thank him personally for his hospitality.

The blackened salmon with white wine risotto was delicious. Our son got the seafood pasta and it was outstanding. If you cant decide between dishes, opt for one with the chef hat logo. Drool-worthy.

We decided on this pub because it was close to the arena and the upscale Tavern menu looked interesting. Got there, got the menu and couldnt read it because the place is so dark. Waited 10 minutes for the waitress to come back to take the drink order. Saw a shiny row of beer taps so I asked whats on tap. The response was nothing. Excuse me, no beer on tap at a Tavern. Only domestic beers in bottles, no local micro beers, nothing. Our dinner came and the shrimp Po boy was delicious. One of our friends ordered fish and chips and it came out 10 minutes after the rest of the meals and only after we asked where it was. When it came to the table it wasnt edible. They took it off the bill. How does a Tavern not have beer on tap or know how to make a simple fish and chips? Maybe it was an off night? I cant say I would go back or recommend this place to others.

Stopped off after hiking the escarpment rail trail and was met with pleasant staff member and inviting atmosphere although it was 3pm in the midweek. My companion and I both ordered the chicken sandwich. I enjoyed it and it was filing but my companion not so much. We both agreed it could have been seasoned a bit more for our taste or had some hot sauce as an accompaniment. The fries were very good.

My girlfriend and I met for dinner. First time. Food was absolutely amazing. We did the shared apps. Raw oysters Grilled calamari Curry mussels Tuna tartare Met chef/owner. Staff was amazing, very friendly We will definitely be back. Also take advantage of the patio. Kudos to the team!!!!

Half of the menu items wasn t there. So we end up drinking beer and martini . We had a chance to try their sweet potato fries as well. It was unique and we liked it. Food

Came here today after an impulsive decision to get lunch. I ll keep it short and sweet. Everything on the menu is extremely overpriced for the quality of food you are getting. We got the chicken anejito bites. Literally just pillsbury crescent dough wrapped around pimento cheese and bruschetta. Chicken Bruschetta pizza was flavourless and just didn t make sense, tasted like mayo drizzled on top? If it was a garlic aioli, there definitely was no garlic in there. The bottom also had a bitter burnt taste, and not like an artisanal wood fire oven taste. Espresso martinis were good. Our waitress didn t really check on us but she was nice. Also our food took 30-40 minutes to come out even though we were one of three tables in the restaurant in the afternoon. My advice would be to skip this place for the flavourless and overpriced food, not trying to be harsh, but I am a very frequent restaurant goer and this just did not live up to the standards that were expected with the prices displayed. Maybe try something I didn t, stop by for a cocktail, and be on your way. Parking: Paid street parking

10/10.

The Duke runs on the strengths of its menu (try the tuna tartare and ask about specials), clientele (a mix of regulars and future regulars), and staff. Everyone behind the bar adds their particular energy: I will point out Martinas combination of enthusiasm, efficiency, and friendliness for this review, but there isnt a one who will disappoint.

One duke is always an amazing spot for food and drinks in Hamilton! The food NEVER disappoints and we always LOVE the feature tacos! The food is always SO fresh as well!

Curry fries were burnt to a crisp, wings became mush as we waited for the curry fries they forgot to cook. BUT, Ive eaten there on non busy nights and its great. I would rather have good food than rushed food any day of the week. Will be back...on a non busy night. Update WILL NEVER BE BACK..ORDERED 2 PIECE OF FISH $30 bucks (MUSH)AND CHIPS AND IT CAME WITH literally 22 FRENCH FRIES...ABSOLUTE ROBBERY and the meal was gross. As a family run business pay attention to the details, dont rip people off. DO better.

Good food and great cocktails! The waitress/bartender was wonderful and very attentive. Would go again for a casual meal!

Nice place. Very comfortable.

After entering the restaurant and sitting there for twenty minutes, no one gave us menus or paid any attention to us. Then we left.

Just left here after having drinks and dinner. Service left a lot to be desired. Waited a LONG time to be seated, then again for menus. The drinks were okay, not great. The food was the same. Every stage was a long wait. Waiting for drinks. Dinner. The bill. Dont think well be back.

We ended up in this place randomly. Service wasnt bad, food was okay. Place is small as well... Nothing else that can be said.

What a great find! Traveling from US with foodie boyfriend and teenage son when we happened upon this place. Great vibe and great menu, lovely server. We had the burger with Brie and fig jam, baked garlic shrimp, and cheesecake dessert. YUM! It was hard to choose. Wish we lived closer so we could go back and try more of their delicious sounding menu.

Went for the live music and it was a lot of fun. Neighborhood bar atmosphere. Music was excellent. I would go back.

My partner and I went here to eat in the evening and got myself fish and chips while he got the smash burger with a side of parmesan cheese fries and an espresso martini. Overall, the food was great, and we both loved our food. The fish and chips were pretty good, but the batter was too thin, so it was falling apart and not too crunchy as you expect a fish and chip would look like, which is crispy. It was also slightly oily, and my sweet potato fries were a bit soggy and not crispy or maybe thats just how sweet potatoes are when fried. Atmosphere-wise, it was cozy, and customer service was excellent. I understand its a restaurant & bar. However, the place smelt like cigarettes since people come in and out of the building to smoke. I still recommend this place for others to try!

We ordered their Notchos, and all though there were plenty to split, it had to be the absolute worse Notchos Ive ever had. The only reason that I took a take away container was because, then I could season and add other things in order for it to remotely taste like Notchos. Cant say that Ill be back any time soon.

Alright, this place is absolutely fantastic ! Ive been coming here for a couple years now, and they never disappoint. Service is great, staff is friendly, and the food is even better :) The scotch bonnet chicken pasta is to die for if you like spicey foods, same as their Nashville wings ! Will come back lots more times !

Amazing food

Good service.

Bought a gift certificate to support them during the pandemic and gifted it. When the receiver tried to use it they were unable to redeem it as they couldnt verify it despite the being purchased from them!

Great food, music, and service. Hidden gem Vegetarian options: Loved the fries Food : 5/5 |

Nice tasting meal the steak had alot of fat all through it but was cooked well. Garlic bread was a joke the fries were great

My spouse and I stopped in for lunch and had a very pleasant experience. I had the Chicken Caeser salad and was pleasantly surprised when I realized that they make their caeser dressing in-house. Very tasty. They offer a very nice selection of traditional meals that seem to have an original twist to them, and the service was very friendly.

Super nice environment with great stuff member. Their crispy chicken burger is legendary. 8.5/10 Big nice piece of juicy chicken and the fries are just right for my taste. As for starter, I won t recommend the chicken wings that we ordered due to the luck of portions 6.5/10. As for the salmon, I will give it 6/10 because the rice at the bottom didn t fit the taste for the fish and the salmon are a bit fishy that what it could be. However the representation is nice. Portion is suitable for the price. One draw back for this location is the luck of parking spaces, not the restaurant s fault but it is something that you have to deal with.

Fabulous Staff Fabulous Food / Drinks! Very Clean ! Love Patio will highly Recommend this place

Great seafood

Food is ok.. there for the oysters and tequila : )

Oysters and wine on Wednesday was fun. Friendly staff and the atmosphere was like a neighborhood bar in downtown Hamilton. Loud, and theres no dress code.

Great vibe for downtown late night food, was surprised when we walked in around 1130pm and the kitchen was fully operational. Drinks were fantastic, service was good. Will definitely come back!

The food was so delicious and very much a good dining experience! And the service is amazing!

Used to love this place, but its gone downhill. Prices are too high for the quality and quantity of the food. The place is run-down to the point of looking like a dive bar. Will not be back Food

First time there and not impressed. Service was slow, had to ask twice for utensils. Food was too spicy. Waitresses kept chatting with each other while customers waited.

I used to enjoy this place however went out for dinner with two friends april 15th 2023 The staff was totally disorganized had 4 different waitress served us didnt supply utensils had keep asking they busy chatting with each other food was so disappointing small porrions outrageous price and tasted uncooked I will never return

Great place to have some oysters. I was craving for some oysters at around 7pm and tried this place. It was literally great experience overall.

Edit 17April 2023 Been to the market attached to the restaurant and love it! Problem today I walked passed there early this morning and saw it was open at 8 am, got there again just after 9 am and still closed. Correct hours would be helpful(understand if there staff shortages) but the market isnt on google maps and the phone number listed on here is out of service. Help! Would like to come i but dont want to keep coming by to see if open 4 stars only because I havent been here yet (and I live about a block and a half away) Heard the food was good, will try to brave my anxiety and come visit

I booked a reservation for a group of 25 for a retirement party. The owner, Tyler, and the staff were amazing. They even decorated the area we were in. The food and atmosphere were great and everyone left happy and full. It is much smaller then it used to be but I think it added to the charm. Support local!

Super delicious and friendly staff!

We had such high hopes! Great menu (at first glance, but its only as good as the kitchen s ability to make any of it). 3 bartenders + 2 servers + 8 tables = 20+ minute wait for soft drinks (never mind water), 47 minute waits between 6 raw oysters and the 6 Rockefellers & a smash burger. The other tables walked out, that should have been the only red flag needed. We stayed. After finally getting our meal, I had to ask for a 3rd time for silverware. Btw, the Rockefeller was warm at best with raw bread crumb on top. Like dust on paste. You can pre-mix the spinach, breadcrumb, cheese, and bacon bits (if you use bacon). shuck, dress and bake, this should take your lineman 8 minutes on the outside (start to finish, even on the grill). The burger was loose meat and rather unremarkable, despite it s long preparation time. The fries were good. Training, we were told. On a Saturday night riiiight. But it s ok, the mngr(?) had tequila shots for his dude bro s who came in long after the (indoor) 3 seated tables who then smoked just outside the entryway while the door was propped open. One can literally see bad management in action. Work smarter, not harder.

Great oyster bar with fantastic service!

brought my jr there, said pizza was 10 outta 10, best she ever had also had super Mario kart to play while we waited for our food....great place Vegetarian options: brocolli wings? Kid-friendliness: super Mario kart to play

Good spot ,good food

Loved the food here! The servers were so kind and welcoming. We bought fish and chips, seafood pasta, and some finger foods.

Love the vibe inside and on patio. Staff are accommodating and friendly. Love the N64 sitting by the door.. you know if you get bored and wanna play a little Mario Kart. Lots of great fare on the menu.. oysters, cauliflower wings, salsa, pizza, but above all it was the Scotch Bonnet Chicken Sandwich Pasta. Yep, you read that right.. it s all of that and more. No disappointment whatsoever. Do yourself a favour and wash it down with the Sangria! Bon Appetite!

I have been here a few times, our server was so nice and friendly. The food is really good we tried the pizzas this time and loved it.

Great food! Great service by Cheyenne Would highly recommend Food

One of the best restaurants I ve been too, amazing ambiance, excellent service, delicious food. Would highly recommend

We had such a great experience at this restaurant we felt we needed to leave a review to share! The food was delicious, the portion sizes were generous, and the drink specials were better than anywhere else in Hamilton. Many thanks to Rachel who provided great service even when busy, and special shout out to Jordan who cooked our food to perfection. They both deserve a raise!

Friendly service nice astsphere and enjoy the experience Parking: No Food : 5/5 |

This is not a place to enjoy a date night....waitress should quit her job..look else where and doesnt serve customers..shes only there get attention by other men..bathroom smells like urine doesnt flush no water wash your hands..

Service was bad..need to hire better quality waitress knows her job..making customers happy...I sat with my boyfriend ordered drinks..I asked for a straw never got one..female was more interested with 2 guys sitting at the bar.. My boyfriend went to the washroom.. No water wash up hands toilet didnt flush. Washroom had very strong oder of human urine... Waitress expressed plumber will be coming next week.. Again we waited to ordered a meal.. Customers service is very important..

The owner tried to disguise bad food by making it spicy, therefore the two dishes of sea food were returned. VERY DISGUSTING. Furthermore, NO Bier on tap although stated on menu. No heads up from staff upfront. Looks like they haven t had beer on tap in months. Probably to increase revenue. Not recommendable at all. Reply: The food was not returned because of spiciness but because of quality. Rubbery and extremely fishy tasting calamari (although being spicy) is not a sign of acceptable quality.

Had a lovely lunch of mussels with a side salad. Prepared perfectly. Highly recommend!

Cool place. Took a chance and wanted to try somewhere new to us. Tried nashville wings, shrimp po boy, calamari, oysters both grilled and raw. No complaints. Definitely a bit understaffed but they worked very hard.

Been here before. I dont take this lightly. Great vibe, but. Fruit flies in the wine. No AC. I ordered wine and a pizza at 930. At 1030 I asked for the pizza to go. It came at 1040. I feel bad for waitress. Need to find another local.

I have to say the new owners have done a tremendous job of turning this establishment into something wonderful. The food is fantastic, especially the pizza. The atmosphere when the sun goes down is a vibe and a great time. I would highly recommend checking it out for yourself. Hamilton local of 34 years! Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible with wheelchair

Antijitos were great and a unique style. Smash burger was very good. And fresh oysters (although two were submerged in ice water)

What a delicious meal. We had the scallops which were delicate and flavoured nicely, the coconut shrimp which were delicious and then I had the curry muscles which were a great value and delicious! We ate on the patio which was lovely. If you want a large choice and delicious flavours you will not be disappointed. We also had 4 cocktails and a jug of Sangria.

Staff are great and the food is amazing. We make One Duke our favorite place to eat in the Durand area of Hamilton.

I was looking for a place to have a bite after a long day of work, and this is what we found. We went to this place at 12am and Im glad to know that they have a late night menu and that their kitchen was still open. The food is what you would typically expect at a regular bar. However, their Brie and Fig (Subbed with a Jam as they were out) was great. I especially liked how it came with garlic parmesan fries with Aioli dip. We also ordered their wings, which was satisfying, but didnt feel spicy enough. Their esspresso martini was great and gave a nice kick of energy for the remainder of the night. Overall, they place is great to go to, and I will definitely revisit during their regular hours.

Had a great time here last night. The food was delicious, and my waitress Alyssa was very helpful and kind

Excellent wings and pints! Waitress polite and prompt without being intrusive.

Very nice experience in this restaurant, we had several starters, they were excellent except for the mussels which we did not like, the waitress kindly offered to change them for us. The service is impeccable.

Rachel is the best bartender/server EVER!!! She has the best vibe. So sweet and accommodating. The food and drinks were amazing but what made it such a great experience was having Rachel as my server

An awesome late night place, with great service, plus a tasty food and drinks menu. Nachos were the best ever! Vegetarian options: We had vegetarian nachos. Also come in beef and chicken (i think ).

First i just want to say thank you for host lady! She was super friendly and professional despite the crowding, she was the only person how service all the tables. Drinks are good, food is disaster! Dry! Or not cooked well! Like the chef doesn t care at all! Not only my dish all the dishes, i got the same complaint from my friends!

Good place for oysters

Your website is useless. Dining did not meet expectations or cost.

Used to have the market with take away beers now they want to gouge you and charge full price or limit it

Great place to chill out and have a drink!!

Fake owners and poor service. Over priced food. Very hostile invironment.

The food was great and the portions were good as well. The oysters could have been shucked better (there was shell in a few of them). Would definitely recommend anyone looking to go out for seafood Food

Amazing as always plus you re supporting a small business that cares rather than a corporate spot with indifference to your actual experience. Burgers are amazing.

The restaurant is great , but overall they have a great hospitality, they serve regardless what your race is, there is a waiter that impressed me with her great personality which is always smile while, taking care of you

Cheyenne was amazing and made me feel at home when I stopped in food was great and ser ice was better

Cheyennes the best!

A true authentic vibe - the girls are so lovely, all parties involved are very solid. The seafood is very fresh and the best dishes, in my opinion: Grilled Calamari , and Tuna Tartare

Cool place

Food and drinks was good Service was great, even when its busy Food

We love this place so much. The service is amazing particularly Shey who served us with the most beautiful smile and gracious attention! We would recommend this place x100

Great new to me look, great spot

What a great place, with great people! Katie is a phenomenal energy and a great bartender!

Rachel was amazing! We had so much fun and so many laughs with Rachel! She s a definite asset to this restaurant!!

Rachel our server literally went way above and beyond our expectations .. the ambiance was amazing and food was excellent but if you decide to come here ask for Rachel cause she will go out of her way to make sure your experience is great

Great service and great food!! Great vibe to the restaurant too! The server chey and hostess Martina did a great job at making sure I felt welcome and was satisfied with my drinks and food. I definitely recommend this spot and will be back soon.

Chey was the best! Always makes sure the fam is taken care of when we visit

Rachel our server went above and beyond for our evening of a birthday celebration. Food was great, atmosphere great and live music. Rachel made the first experience at Duke amazing and we will be back! Cheers! Food

Great night out! Fanstastic service from Cheyenne! Excellent entertainment, delicious food and such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Returning soon for more!

Beautiful place and wonderful staff & atmosphere

Great atmosphere, friendly and gorgeous staff and best of all the food is delicious. This is definitely Hamilton s new hot spot.

We had Ryley as our server and she was fantastic. She was very attentive and made sure to check up on us often so we were always taken care of. Definitely coming back, it s always a breath of fresh air to get good service these days Service

Ryley is the best bartender ever and is very genuine <3

Amazing service amazing food would visit over and over again. !

Nathan, Ayla, Cheyenne, and Tyler were great hosts. Food was hot, drinks were cold, and there was no time wasted when I needed a refill! Great chill spot to visit, and make great memories with friends. Recommend 10/10 to anyone who s looking to get a kickstart to their evening. I will be back!

Chey was the most amazing server and bartender. Service was never expected but I always delivered. Would return 10/10. As long as Chey is working here I will be coming back

I called for a reservation yesterday and they were able to squeeze us in. The manager/owner who I spoke to on the phone introduced himself to us when we got there and made sure we were taken care of. The food was immaculate and the service was impeccable. The restaurant can get pretty loud on a Saturday night so conversation is tough for a first date, but the free cake we received for the occasion made it all worth it.

Rachel is the best,she took such good care of us and found space when it was busy!

Took our friend here for his birthday. Our server Rachel was amazing! Food and drinks came out quickly!

Rachel was great!

I didnt eat. I was there to watch the Grey Cup. The staff were incredible! The specials were generous deals. Ill be back. Service

We were looking for oysters, as our go to place in Burlington was closed for a private party, and we decided to try One Duke Tavern. What a great find! A superb local watering hole which specializes more in distillates than beer. At the oyster bar we were treated with great oysters and great service. This was followed by a Tuna Tartare and wings. Both were excellent. Another wonderful discovery in Hamilton!

As a vegetarian, I was pleasantly surprised by their delicious cauliflower wings with bbq sauce and blue cheese dipping , a delightful twist on classic bar food. Paired with a cold beer, it made for a memorable evening. The staff were friendly, adding to the welcoming ambiance. Its a definite recommendation for great food and a relaxed experience. Vegetarian options: Delicious

Katie is the diamond of this bar

My Family and I have eaten here a lot. Love their wings, fries and the atmosphere. We tried the fish and chips for the first time now I know why my grandmother always orders it - DELICIOUS. Amazing portion and packaging. I wasn t concerned that it was a take out order because we live close, but the food was still hot! The staff are so wonderful and friendly to me. I / We will always return. On to the next menu item :) thank you Ty & Staff.

Amazing food amazing experience.

Took an hour to get served. People that walked in were served before our table. Brought wrong orders to our table. Had to leave as most people only get 1 hour lunch break. Last time I bring customers here.

We go for the Oysters at happy hour (1.50 an oyster, up from buck a shuck, but no big surprise with inflation), always excellent! The grilled calamari is pretty darn good too. The menu has some updates, the fish and chips are delicious and the steamed muscles with garlic loaf is an excellent value for your dollar Wheelchair accessibility: Ground floor patio and restaurant/bar

I was pleasantly surprised. I was expecting regular average pub food. Turned out to be very tasty delicious meal. I got the Duke Curry bowl and husband the Brie and fig jam burger. Both meals were super flavourful. Compliments to the chef. And great service. Overall great experience.

Loved this place.Food was awesome.Oysters Rockefeller and wings were fabulous.The owner Tyler and server Sam were just the best.Would definitely go back.

Great food and service and very friendly

Delicious food & excellent service

Amazing food, great staff. Will definitely be back.

I took myself on a date here tonight. I ve been wanting to come in since I moved to Queen St last summer. Within walking distance, I decided I d take myself for wine and dinner. I ordered the Malbec 9 oz, and Duke Curry bowl. As I eat this velvety and well spiced risotto, I ve decided this is a gem in hamilton I ll be recommending from now on. The glass ware is clean, you re greeted with friendliness and an a warm, inviting ambiance. The music is just right, upbeat and calm. The lighting sets a romantic vibe that I enjoy greatly. The decor is lovely and the food is great. Overall this is a pleasant experience that I hope to have more often!

Walked in and was welcomed by a thick smell of cigarette smoke and a haze in the restaurant. You could tell the workmanship on the bar and walls were a lip stick fix on the previous place that was here. Drywall crumbling. Drinks took quite a bit to get. Had the antijito app to start. Deep fried and was soggy. Ordered the fig brie burger. Dry and the bun was from dempters bread. For 23.50 a burger was expecting a nicer bun and beef. The beef was hand pressed hence why no juice left in the burger and dry. Wife had the risotto salmon. Risotto was crunchy and salmon over cooked. Not really worth the price. I wouldnt recommend family and friends to come here. You can find better restaurants around the area. If I wanted a night filled with cigarette smoke and dried burgers Id go to my grandmas house.

Nice place, big portion. Hard to find parking.

The food was tasty and the atmosphere was nice. We sat on the patio and it was lovely. The waitress was also great! She was so friendly and accommodating. However, I find this restaurant to be a bit too expensive now. Kid-friendliness: There is no kids menu, but they were very accommodating

Yeah. THIS is the place to go. Great food, excellent service. Oh well be back.

Went there for my nieces 16th birthday dinner. The website makes this place look fairly high class. One the phone and while we were there, the service really was just about perfect. Once inside the place has a real positive vibe more suited for a nice pub so I was a bit worried about the food. Once our food came, I tried everyones food. All the food was amazing! I will %100 be going back and so will everyone in our group. Thanks for a great start to our night.

Me and a group of friends showed up for their half price wings. Legit we waited almost an hour for our wings and because we waited so long they offered a free pound. However they came out uncooked and still raw. Told the waiter that the wings were raw, she said that s what wings are suppose to look like. When I asked her if she d eat it she said no, yet because she had already comped a pound said she wouldn t be able to comp our plate. Imagine paying 17 dollars and getting that plate, it s actually insulting. Stay away from this disgusting place, the server clearly told us the wings were frozen that s why they were uncooked. Unbelievable, I will never return and will try to let everyone know never to go to this place.

Came here in the morning. Sam, the bartender was excellent! Very genuine, attentive and accomodating. She made sure everyone was okay. People like her deserve a lot of recognition. Drinks were top notch too, will definitely be back!

Hes mean now. Hes with a different girl. Ive noticed the difference. We have been good friends for long time. Ty

This places charm is unmatched. Tyler, Nate and their service team are pleasant and attentive . Food is hip, diverse, and unpretentious. If you re in downtown Hamilton you have to stop by - such a cool vibe.

The city of Hamilton usually disappoints me. I am from the far superior city of Toronto, but the Hammer does surprise me from time to time... I was hanging pictures for a friend and when we decided to go to out for food, she suggested a nearby spot. Is their kitchen even open? Its eleven oclock! Yeah, they are open late! I honestly dont know if that is true all of the time, but it was a Saturday night, and off we went to One Duke! Its a cute spot on a side street and I imagine that if it hadnt been frigidly cold and windy that the patio would be a delightful spot to sit - maybe next summer? Once inside, the staff were pleasant and welcoming in the genuine way that you feel at your local. We started with a plate of super fresh oysters that did not disappoint, followed by our delightful entrées My friend had chicken alfredo. I tried a bit and it seemed to be perfectly creamy without being drowned in sauce. I went for a scotch bonnet pepper chicken pasta sandwich which sounded both interesting and intimidating. I asked the chef about the spice level and they assured me they could adjust that, so I said maybe just unload half the arsenal - it turned out to be just perfect for me (and maybe next time Ill push my boundaries a bit further?) For sure you have been to places where the portion sizes disappointed you, but at One Duke the plate was filled generously to provide a truly satisfying meal. Two people, a couple of drinks apiece, great late night dinner, amazing staff (Im sorry for not remembering names, but truly top-notch!) all-in for about $120 with a 20% tip. I highly recommend this spot if you have the misfortune to find yourself in Hamilton - it is sure to make the visit worthwhile. Go Argos!

Staying at a local hotel and stopped in for a drink while we were waiting for our take out to be ready. Servers are fantastic.

Co-workers celebrate our get together for Christmas. The place is awesome and food is amazing.
