In Kingston for the day, my friend and I decided to stop for a relaxing drink at the outdoor pub. We were greeted warmly, and,seated quickly. A waitress (practically a clone of all the other waitresses),appeared with menus and took our drink order. That was the last time we saw her. We sat for 22 minutes, while people who entered well after us were served. How is the food? I'd like to tell you, but we never did find out. Great coffee shop around the corner, though.

Typical tourist food joint. Well located. We had the Cajun salmon bowl and a local beer. Both were average. Pub food. If you're in a rush you better look elsewhere. Waitress uniform is really bad taste. I guess location is everything here... For the atmosphere, I'd recommend you sit inside.

On our honeymoon in Kingston we stopped here for lunch on the one day July 7 2021. Hi hostess was friendly and polite. We sat on the patio and I had deep fry pickles, and fish and chips. The deep fry pickles was amazing, i have never had pickles this good before ( they are home made). The fish on the other hand was over cooked. My husband had the spicy chicken sandwich, which he loved. To our surprise the hostess who we talked to and told him we were on our honeymoon, told the staff/owner who came out with a bottle of wine then came out with a warm chocolate brownie dessert, with chocolate sauce dipped on the plate in sharps of hearts. It was amazing. We would go back there again. Service was excellent and the food was good.

No longer a hotel. The wife used to love going to this place, but neither of us will be back. Went for food and drinks on the patio. They left garbage bags (must have been garbage day) right outside the patio fence so the aroma wafted in. Server took a very long time to take our order (or any other table's for that matter); seemed more interested in chatting with other servers than working. First two beer orders came back that they were out; and the third came back with a cider instead of beer. Food was tasty but lukewarm at best and was originally brought to a different table

It's great to stay in such a place of history. The new owners have done amazing renovations. We chose to stay on the waterfront side but had not considered the noise from the trains in the wee hours of the morning. We sat and watched the train crew work then went back to bed. Restaurant brunch is super...but a little costly.

Beautiful location. Had a very enjoyable lunch with tasty food and great service. One suggestion - the menu doesn’t include ANY non-alcoholic drinks. Would love to see some fun mocktails or NA options. Would go back and recommend this place for eats.

Went to Old Speckled Hen for drinks with friends. I love the old bar feel, makes you feel like you're back in time. Lots on tap, more then enough great whiskey to get you were you want. The bar staff were amazing, friendly, and on point. Highly recommend it for drinks to anyone. I have the food here before, it's pub fare and it's hit and miss, go for a drink and some average food.

Very exspensive. And the coffee was cold and the water was warm. The staff was slow. And dont even get me started with the price of a alcohol drink. Way to expensive . Two out of the four chairs at our table were also broken we had to switch them with another table.

Let me tell you about the Prince George Hotel. This place is the damn answer. Im talkin liver-killing drinking, belt-busting food, and a hell of a seating selection. When it comes to service, this joint is the bees knees. Literally. Its sweet, sticky, and has a great mouth-feel.

This place is no longer a hotel...so dont try and book a room here! It once was a fully operating hotel, and legend has it that it was a headquarters for rum running during the American prohibition! The rooms have now been converted into apartments and are private residences, hence the no hotel thing. But it still has the main level which is a pub and restaurant. Very pretty building worthy of a visit and at the very least, a look into its history!

Some friends and I traveled to Kingston over the Easter weekend. We didnt stay at the Prince George Hotel but we did stop by for drinks. Good prices and selection.

December 22, 2017

We live in Kingston and have known The Prince George for the last 35 years.We had dinner there on the patio last Wednesday. I ordered butter chicken curry. It mightve been better labelled butter onion curry as there was virtually no chicken and a surplus of chunks of onion. Not much curry either. Terrible. My wife ordered fish and chips. The fish,what little there was of it, was undercooked and there was twice as much batter as there was fish.The french fries varied, Some were undercooked and almost raw and others were overcooked. We did not blame the waitress however we did express our dissatisfaction with the meal and there was no offer of replacement. Neither of us came close to eating half the meal.
