The Olde Angel Inn in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Used to be a fun bar. Now overpacked, terrible service, bartender rolls her eyes, telling everyone her brain hurts, we waited 40 min for the bill. Manager / doorman has attitude, unresponsive and ignorant.

The pub is very cozy and delightful and the food was tasty.

After decades of popping in for drinks and a bit to eat, we stayed overnight. Room was cozy, and very clean and very enjoyable. Walkability: Great location Food and drinks: Pub food is pretty average and on busy nights can be a little inconsitent. But great vibe to enjoy a drink. Noteworthy details: Small, so during busy times at events, other than Shaw Festival, it can be a wait.

Olde Angel Inn !!! This place is great, awesome, fantastic, friendly. Cass is AMAZING!!! What a fun and friendly person with a great smile. Thank you Greg and Cass for making us feel at home. Haunted???

Very disappointed in the Angel Inn. I have been going there since 2018. The prices were good and the food portions were great. I especially liked the meatloaf dinner. I started to notice the portions shrinking and the prices going way up. $9 for onion soup went up to $14. A individual side of gravey is $3 and it tastes watered down!! Thats not inflation thats just greed. I was there 2 weeks ago and ordered the meatloaf sandwich with extra mayo and they ended up charging me $2 for the extra mayo. I didnt take notice till after I already paid so I just let it go. I was there the other day with some friends around 12ish and we wanted to order the meatloaf dinner and was really annoyed when they told us they didnt have any. I ordered the beef dip sandwich instead which I have had before and enjoyed but this time when they brought it out I was not impressed at all. They had cut back 50% of the beef and the cheese on it. Prices are no longer good and they are nickle and diming everything so I no longer will be recomending them.

Love the Olde Angel Inn! Cozy pub, very rustic, authentic experience - low ceilings, wood beams, warm and lively. Lots of fun when they have a band playing.

Best atmosphere, and food.

Our go-to place when in NotL

We ate dinner there and food and service were very good.

If you want to experience the rudest manager in town, who bullies and physically threatens his own customers for literally no reason - this is the place for you!

Everything went well until we noticed other s seated just before us kept getting drinks and food. We got water, coffee and iced tea. We had to leave (45 min ant this point)we talked to the waitress & still had to wait to get our over 100.00 meal in takeout containers. Rushing out we realized they didn t even have the forethought that we hadn t eaten and had to go in to get cutlery. My husband asked the guy at cash for our cutlery and the reaction give me a second instant regret for even paying for the food and tipping the waitress- will never return or recommend

Great storyline. Great service.

The inn is a piece of history. Great atmosphere and the food is good. Looking forward to returning soon

Excellent vegan options . Best tasting vegan wings. Service was excellent.

Enjoyed restaurant, great food

While the food was pretty good, the attitude could be way better.

10/27/24. We were 8 and had to wait a little to get places. Waitress were so kind and food was very good. We had a great time for a birthdays friend, singing and listening to a very talented guitar player. Loved that place !

Dom & Taylor have been incredibly welcoming and kind for our large party of 20+. They are quick to act and fast to service. We loved our time here!

Amazing place! Dom and Taylor were great. Definitely come here if you make your way to Niagara on the lake.

Went for the restaurant and enjoyed the classic pub fare! They had a good and diverse list of beers and cocktails to try and service was great. Would recommend! Service : 5/5

Dom is incredible, best in the game!

One of the oldest taverns in North America. Great traditional menu, fish & chips, shepherds pie, etc. Great food, great service, a bit pricey but EVERYTHING is a bit pricey in NOTL so its fine. We dont get to NOTL often, but whenever we do, dinner is here.

We loved The Olde Angel Inn. The food, drinks, and service were outstanding.

Do not go. Perhaps if you re looking to shelter from the rain .but don t go if you re looking for a good meal. The fries were compressed saw dust, the poutine wasn t even warm enough to melt the cheese. 3 of our 4 meals came quite promptly but the 4th took another 15+minutes to get to the table. It was a Ruben . The pitcher of sangria is not worth the price. It filled 4 small wine glasses and the rest was ice and fruit. So very disappointed and confused why it s so busy

Second time eating here as a tourist 2019 and today. Amazing fish and Chips. Wasnt staying there

We ordered shepherds pie it was the worst weve ever had.

The food was really not very good. The fried fish was like eating a loaf of bread. My wife said the risotto had no parmesen and not enough mushrooms. Not even close to the best pub food in the world! I find it hard to believe the rating of this restaurant.

My family, who has visited the Angle Inn pub many times as we live in Niagara on the lake, had a terrible experience today Nov 16 2024. We walked into a busy bar and proceeded to find some bar stools in the corner (as we have done in past). We were then scolded by a bar tender to remove ourselves from the corner and wait to be seated. The manner in which she spoke to us we found rude and abrasive and frankly unprofessional. This was done in a loud voice that drew the attention of many other patrons. We subsequently left the pub feeling embarrassed and upset. After this disappointing experience we no longer want to visit in future, nor recommend our guests to go.

1st timer, the GM made room for us and put our favorite football team on the TV. The Meatloaf Wellington was off the chain!

Great food!

Lovely meal tonight.. staff very attentive, local wine very nice too

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Olde Angel Inn in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the experience was nothing short of delightful. Walking into the historic establishment felt like stepping back in time, with its cozy ambiance and friendly staff greeting us with warm smiles. After hearing so much about their famous pub fare, my expectations were high, and I m happy to say they didn t disappoint! To start, I ordered their classic French Onion Soup, which arrived bubbling in its signature crock, the cheese perfectly melted over the edges. The rich broth and caramelized onions had such depth, and the toasted bread underneath soaked up the flavors beautifully. It was the ideal comfort food for a cool autumn evening. Next up was the chicken pot pie a dish that immediately caught my eye. The golden, flaky crust was the perfect complement to the creamy filling inside, packed with tender chicken and vegetables. Paired with crispy fries and a side of peas and carrots, it was hearty and delicious. My partner opted for the shepherd s pie, which came with a side of crusty bread and veggies. The mashed potato topping was perfectly golden, and underneath lay a savory mixture of ground meat and vegetables, all swimming in a rich gravy. It tasted homemade, the kind of dish that reminds you of family dinners by the fire. For my final indulgence, I couldn t resist trying the sausages with caramelized onions and gravy. The sausages were juicy and well-seasoned, and the onions added just the right amount of sweetness. It was served with peas, carrots, and a side of rich brown gravy that brought everything together. Overall, the Olde Angel Inn exceeded all my expectations. The food was fantastic, the portions were generous, and the historic setting made for an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend visiting if youre ever in Niagara-on-the-Lake just make sure to come hungry! Walkability: This location in NOTL is walkable and scenic.

Food and drinks: Reasonably priced ànd fresh Hotel highlights

An absolute treasure. Any visit to Niagara region needs to include a stop in at the Angel Inn

We visited Niagara Falls and then drove to Niagara on the lake. The Olde Angel Inn caught our eye and we had a great meal in the beer garden. Huge portions, super tasty food at fair prices. Wine is great, and the staff super friendly, attentive and accommodating. Highly recommended. English: We visited Niagara Falls and then drove to Niagara on the Lake.

Beautiful little Inn with so much history and charm. The rooms are above the tavern and restaurant. The music will be loud, so if you are a light sleeper then I recommend earplugs which are given to you on check-in. A really great menu and drinks menu, a wonderful big outdoors patio. There is supposed to be a ghost wandering around(learn more about this online) unfortunately I didnt hear him I was super disappointed . Very close to the main St for shopping etc.

Great old hotel to stay in. It also has a restaurant with friendly staff and good food.

Such a cosy, beautiful pub in Niagara on the Lake! The service was brilliant and so quick, and the food was delicious! Especially the seafood stuffed mushrooms! Would highly recommend this pub! And fab atmosphere too, its busyness shows it s obviously a great place to eat and have drinks and would totally agree!!

Made of old...and wood!

During our visit the food was reheated, over fried and tasteless. I believe at one time the food here was good. I left the Old Angel Inn this evening most disappointed. I would not recommend The Olde Angel Inn Niagara On The Lake

The price was right but the service was slow. The food well prepared.

We came here to eat lunch, our second time here. The food was top-notch and the service was friendly and efficient.

Awesome music atmosphere, food & service amazing band-Maple Jam Always a great time at The Olde Angel Inn Service

I ve eaten here every time I ve visited NOTL and recommend it to anyone I know that says that are going to the area. Amazing every single time! Great food and great atmosphere!

Walkability: Close to downtown Niagara-on-the -lake Rooms : 4/5

Nope. people dont want to pay to stand.

Food and drinks: Excellent food and drinks. Vegan wings were some of the best wings I have ever had.

Rooms

Awesome live music on the weekend. A buzzing place to be. Affordable beers and great ambiance. Recommend for a fun night out at the pub!

Great old time inn and tavern with a great history, the bartenders are top notch and your next beverage is in front of you just as you finish the first one. Cant wait to go back and get a room to see if we can catch a glimpse of the resident spirit!

Fabulous experience and dinner! Definitely coming back! Was delighted with the live music as well! Definitely Kimmy-Sue Tested and Approved

Lovely dinner with friends on way to Niagara Falls. Picturesque town with many shops and restaurants. Great portions and delicious food.

Had some drinks and appetizers at the Olde Angel Inn. It was a lacklustre experience unfortunately. Both of our ordered drinks were not in stock.. Ordered another beer and also not in stock. Ordered a cosmo only to be told that they were also out of an ingredient.. The drink I received was good but not great. The beer that we finally ordered was very flat. The caesar salad was very basic.. Nothing special, not much dressing, basic store bought tiny tasteless croutons and almost non-existent bacon. The garlic bread looked like the brand furlani from the fresh Co grocery store. Pricey and not worth any hype at all. Came for the experience but it did not meet any of our expectations. Will enjoy the history of the Inn but will skip the dining and bar next time.

Waited to get service for 20 minutes and left. Ended up at Butler s grill great food and service.

Sooo yummy and great service! The shepherds pie was a 10/10.

The food is fairly well priced while the beers are a little expensive, in my opinion. The inn has a lot of charm and is worth a visit while in NOTL

As my 11yo might say, this place is mid. The back patio is spacious and the service was adequate. The food was mediocre, and overpriced. The fries would not make the list that our kid is compiling of best fries. Service

My husband and I came to the Inn for a drink to check out the vibe of this place sonce its literally one of the only bars open. The bar tender female was super unfriendly and when we wanted to pay she just kind of tossed the debit machin in our direction, we were paying cash which took about 7 min to get someones attention to pay. Then when she took the cash she asked if we wanted chamge Like hell yes we do, we tip those worthy of tipping, which she was not. Drinks are 15 each which i guess isnt bad for rish town but the vibe was crap, some possessed woman was cussing her man the whole time and zero music to block out peoples conversations. So yea i hated the vibe. You may like if youre nosey and dont care if your server is standoffish and if you dont like music because there was none i will never go back.

This restaurant was pleasant! After an afternoon of drinking wine, this hit the spot! :) The mash potato could have been better and I wish the fries were longer. They were tiny pieces of potato cut way too small.

Ate lunch in the back garden. Lovely location. Unfortunately the temperature that day was a bit chilly. For a very large section they only had two wait staff and they were struggling to keep up. Food was traditional pub fare, I had the Angus burger which was fantastic and the other person I was with had the fish and chips. The fish and chips were a bit bland and came with way too many chips. Pricing was in line with other restaurants in the area, overall it was a nice place, just not a great place.

Had a great lunch with my wife. The waitress was very friendly and nice. Food was on point as always

The pub boasts having award winning fish and chips, and though I ate them all, the thought of the chips makes me want to throw up - they were short pieces of stale, soggy fries that were barely warm, and looked as though theyd been sitting around for a while. The fish was a large piece, but flavorless and the tartar sauce was more like a pasty mayonnaise, and the coleslaw was wet and soggy. VERY unimpressive - would rather go to a fish & chips shop. The back garden patio is spacious and pleasant, but the servers ignore the clients and can be curt, and are generally inattentive. Of the six in our party, each having ordered a different dish, only one had a plate that looked inviting. Would MAYBE go for a drink... probably not - rather explore some other restaurants/ pubs instead!

Food and drinks: Food was very tasty Service

Great place for casual dining good and fast service

When I went out to eat with my parents, I had hoped to enjoy the ambiance and the food. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The waiter seemed unsure of what she was doing, the food was dehydrated and flavourless, and the wait time was excessively long.

Food was pretty good. Portion sizes were excellent. Service was pretty poor though/ almost non existent. I had the Wellington meatloaf which was nice and would recommend.

Beautiful Old Pub with excellent beer friendly staff and great location

The service was extremely slow, and the staff seemed inattentive to both our time and food. Despite requesting a specific table, we were informed by the server that they needed to fill certain tables first. We waited nearly 40 minutes just for our drinks, and it was a different server who eventually took our food order. After a long wait, the food arrived, but it was disappointing, and no staff member checked on us afterward. We finished our meal, paid the bill, and left as quickly as possible. This establishment clearly needs to hire more staff, especially on weekends, and provide better customer service training.

Very busy Irish pub, large staff on hand. Food will take a minimum of 30 minutes to arrive but thats to be expected given the bars popularity. The fish and chips were very good but the cole slaw had no flavor. Good drinks at a reasonable price. The live music is fun and rowdy, might be too loud for some (not us!). Great outdoor patio area. So why the two stars? Weve been coming to NOTL and the Olde Angel Inn almost every year for 30 years. Last year, as we were walking out the door, someone made a disparaging remark about this aint no gay bar. At first we thought it was a drunk customer. But when we heard it again this year, it was without doubt the doorman. We wont be back.

Really nice place. Food delicious ans lots of it. I had Lamb Shank. Excellent. Chef Jen. Awesome food. Service : 4/5

Food was delicious!

Lovely bar, delicious food but most importantly, exceptional and friendly service from our waitress Megan. Recommendation for improvement is allowing spare seats to be utilised for guests that arrived late as long as they are still available. Service

Overpriced, pretentious, and disappointing stay. Food and drinks: $172 for 4 burgers with sides. Burgers were not seasoned, very bland, and were topped with items not ordered. Rooms : 1/5 |

What a shame this beautiful historic location is owned by individuals who do not train staff to treat people in a decent manner. We walked past the patio and saw half of the tables vacant. We proceeded to the front door entrance and asked the gentlemen behind the bar to be seated on the patio. He replied that there were no tables available in the patio. My friend then advised there were quite a few. Thinking perhaps the employee wasn t made aware as you cannot see the patio from the front. The employee proceeded to repeat the exact same words, but this time in a very condescending aggressive tone, and firm stare. By the look of his physique, seems he may have taken too much testosterone that day. As clearly his inappropriate tone and character was of an angry individual. As locals, we support small businesses during your off season as well. Keep that in mind as you have now turned away 2 separate households from ever supporting this local establishment.

Sadly, this place has gone down hill in the past couple of years. It used to be a must visit but it has declined into a tourist trap, post-covid. Great venue but expensive and portions are less than generous. Service

Food was delicious and so great to get an English style bitter here! Sat outside - was lovely, but quite some distance from the main building and felt forgotten about by the staff. On the other hand, staff inside were super helpful - thank you for sorting out the bill even though it wasnt your area!

Dining experience was painfully slow. Took 20 minutes to order drinks. When finally arrived, waiter spilled one soda and never came back to clean spill and never brought replacement drink. Food took forever to arrive, dropped off by a different waiter, and was not checked on a single time. After two hours, I had to go up to the waitstaff to ask for a bill so we could leave. Food was hit or miss, fish and chips was super greasy. Kids burger was great value but kids shrimp was very small serving. I would not recommend.

The atmosphere was nice but the service was not great the food was okay my wife had the curry and there was no spice to it at all it was very bland I had the fish pie which was really great the service needs to be better server came by once the whole time we were there other people at other tables were waiting forever to get their bill or food and it wasnt busy

Visited for supper. The food was good. Service not so good. Our server left us to complete the transaction ourselves and didnt turn up to finalize or thank us for his tip.We both had the caesars to drink. Saw the worcestershire and tobasco go into the glasses followed by ice and clamato juice but no vodka. The Caesars were $16 each. The place is quaint and has a good atmosphere but it is not accessible, almost impossible to get a wheelchair/walker into the building and the only bathrooms are in the basement. There is also no parking. Something to bear in mind if anyone in your party is disabled Noteworthy details: Not accessible

dom & taylor were fast, efficient, and the best ive ever been served by

Unreal spot. Gary is a legend!!!!

Dom + Taylor are legends. Great pubs and drinks. He made my wedding

Great bar and great area to have some drinks with friends

Dom and Taylor put on an awesome party!!!

Happiest place in viagara.

Dom and Taylor made sure we had a great night. Great service!

Awesome place! Better service. We had a great time and the food was phenomenal

Dom & Taylor hosted us after our wedding and were so welcoming

As a group of 13 in town for a wedding, we stayed at the Swayze Cottage, Garden Cottage and a room at the Olde Angel Inn for 2 nights and we couldnt have asked for a more positive experience!! The Cottages and rooms were clean, cute, beds were comfortable, located right in town, and the service from Diana and her team was top notch! She was so accommodating for our large group and quick to reply. The food and drinks at the pub were great and able to accommodate our large group for a table too, great patio! We would 100% stay here again and recommend to anyone heading to NOTL! Thank you for such a wonderful stay! Nearby activities: Located in the heart of Niagara-on-the-lake! Walkability: Couldnt be closer to the main attractions, restaurants in town on a quiet street. Food and drinks: Excellent food and drinks at the pub at the Inn. Service was 10/10 with a large menu and easy to get a table with a large group!

First time visiting this location and unfortunately won t ever go back or recommend this place to anyone I know. Staff weren t overly friendly. Bare minimum to be honest. The service was awfully slow, which I understand on a busy weekend so I won t fault them for that. However, I specifically asked for my 19 month old son s food to come out first. Simple mac and cheese. The food took well over 1.5 hours to arrive, at the halfway mark I searched for a server and asked them to please bring my sons food asap, the rest of us could wait since he was hungry and we all know what a hungry toddler behaviour is like. I was told it s busy, that s it. The food finally begins to come out and still nothing for my son. I ask the server and he says oh we don t have any pasta right now, not even an apology until I visibly became upset and asked why I wasn t notified immediately. Why I had to wait almost 2 hours to find out that they didn t have his meal is beyond me. Other than the one simple sorry, there was no offer to comp the replacement- probably microwavable pizza that was then ordered. I wasn t going to fight for $12 to be removed but the simple gesture would ve been kind. I hate complaining and writing poor reviews but some customer service training is really needed for the staff.

Such good service, everyone was lovely. Had the fries with curry sauce and a steak and Guinness poutine, as well as a flight of cider testers. Super amazing, good. Nice crispy fries/chips, and the graveys were flavorful. Food and drinks: Had the fries with curry sauce and a steak and Guinness poutine, as well as a flight of cider testers. Super amazing, good.

We popped in to have a drink whilst visiting Niagara on the Lake, being from the UK i can confirm this is (if not better) than a local UK pub! A cold pint of guiness on a warm evening was well recieved!!! Top little venue

A few things that were meh about the stay (3 nights). The Generals Quarters suite - the beds are pushed up against a wall such that 2 of the 4 sides are blocked. This makes for an uncomfortable experience when sharing a bed. On the plus side there is a separate seating area that allows you to have a drink in your room comfortably. We did two nights in this room. The third night we moved over to The Governors Room. This room has two large beds (I believe one king and one queen (or two kings)) and this is much more commensurate to a hotel room suite. There is a pseudo sitting area in one of the bedrooms. Hind Sight 20/20 - this room is the way to go if you have 3 to 4 people in your party. Of note - the electrics are a bit shoddy. If you plug something in at the side of the bed (ie. phone charger) it will cut out the fan and the lights in the bathroom intermittently. Must be a loose connection that requires some attention. No fridges in each of the rooms - this should be a given for this type of room/expense. We had a meal on our first night - the food was mediocre and the service we had from one young blonde woman was pitiful. We were left feeling uncared for and that we were a chore for being there. No eye contact - all matter of fact and no feeling of care for us as customers. At some point I had to leave my table and address this with another server/manager in the restaurant. We were given 20% off which was a nice gesture. Back to the food - nothing we ordered was great. Id suggest eating elsewhere unless you really have no expectations or dont really care. The last thing that irks me is the 3% MAT tax. What the hell is this? As far as I can tell (https://niagarafalls.ca/city-hall/finance/municipal-accommodation-tax.aspx) this tax is to be 2$ per room, per night. We should have paid $6 and not $44. Buyer beware. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. To the good stuff - Leah is whom I dealt with at the reservation desk. Lovely person. Kind, sense of humor, patient and very helpful. At check in there was also a lovely bloke who helped us check in as we got there after Leah had left. Also kind and helpful. The rooms are amazing (keep in mind the age of the building), they have lots of character. The town is gorgeous - it doesnt really matter where you lay your head as long as it is clean. Enjoy your stay in the area - lots of nice things to do and see within 1km square of the hotel. I wish I could give 4 stars but the encounter in the restaurant really did spoil our first night in Niagara. I also think the MAT is a scam. I am pretty sure CBC Marketplace did an expose on this..... Nearby activities: Lots to do in Niagara on the Lake - the town, the wineries, the parks, the beach, the restaurants. Walkability: Lots of the nearby activities are within walking distance of the hotel.

Too long of a wait to get a pint. Bar service has gone downhill a lot.

We stopped in one day while visiting the town. Its a quaint tavern built in the late 1700s. The food and service were great. The ambiance of the old in were amazing. Definitely worth a visit to be in a place built so long ago. We had the crab cake sandwich. It was delicious. My favorite part was touching a beam that was installed in the late 1700s

Wonderful atmosphere delicious food and great service!

Fantastic beer garden. Super lovely staff.

Great food. Highly recommend the fish and chips!

On Aug 12, We called ahead to make sure about the timing and was told dinner starts at 9 pm and we booked for a group of 8 and reserved a table! We drove about an hour to get there and once we reached we were told we dont serve dinner tonight and forgot to call you really?!!

Nice back patio area to enjoy lunch

An old pub conserving the British culture in the heart of Niagara on the Lake. This is a good casual spot if you are spending some time in this town. They have outdoor seating in their patio during summer. Their famous plates are fish and chips and burgers. Both of them tasted very good, in addition to the large sizes, which is always something good to consider for those great eaters. This town gets very busy during summer, and the pub is prepared with as many servers as needed to attend big numbers of guests.

Update August 2024 : Came back for 2 nights and had an Amazing time yet again. Leah checked us in and OMG she is literally the best ( #1 ). Our waitress was fantastic and the service was fast and friendly. I love coming here and cant wait to book again. Weve now stayed in a few of the rooms upstairs, and if you want a new experience, I highly recommend the cottage, old timey charm, and cozy. Stayed for two nights, it was such a great experience and the staff were absolutely fantastic. Our second night we had something creepy happen. We left a small lamp on and when we came back to the room one of the doors was open in the room and the lamp was unplugged 10/10 would highly recommend staying here especially if you like ghosts. Also the food is 10/10 highly recommend trying the fish and chips.

Got great food. Want to go again

Lovely accommodations within the heart of Niagara on the lake. The inn met all of our needs with its quaint rooms and historical feel. There was live music until midnight and a fun Beir garden to unwind and enjoy one of their locally made pints. Staff made us feel welcome at all times, including Leah who was very friendly and gave us ghost certificates after we had some friendly run ins with the local ghost in the evening. Rooms: Rustic and cozy Nearby activities: Shaw festival, shops and wine tours Walkability: Close to all shops Food and drinks: Excellent traditional British pub fare and a wide variety of local wines and beer

Very cool place to visit! The night before we ate here, we heard some of the history and stories from a guided ghost walk- which made us excited to check it out! We ate on a Friday evening around 6:30, and there were plenty of open tables. The atmosphere was great! The inside was a little loud, so we sat in the garden out back- which was really comfortable, shaded, and relaxing. Food was delicious, yet heavy. We ordered the fishermans pie, bangers and mash, and meatloaf dinners. Service was very laid back and friendly- they gave good recommendations, but were quite slow to fulfill our refill requests and prepare the check. The bathrooms are downstairs just around the corner from Captain Swayzes Cellar. We did not experience any haunting behavior during our visit, but enjoyed ourselves, nonetheless.

Great atmosphere, great fish and chips.

Band is very loud in room to the point of vibrating floors and bed, should not be renting rooms when band is playing.

We stopped here for a drink and a snack based on a recommendation from a local. It did not disappoint. The beer was good and there were quite a few to chose from. I had the white sangria, which was refreshing and balanced. We also got the crab cakes, which were light and tasty. We didnt get any other food, but saw the fish and chips and it looked great. Worth a stop for a meal or just drinks.

Our goto place for lunch whenever we are in Niagara on the Lake. The original pub in historic Upper Canada.

One of the best meals I had on vacation. Service was great too. Highly Recommend the fried pickles and the quiche

Came here for drinks with friends and had a lovely time! There s a really great outdoor space in the back with shade (very needed in the summer) and putting greens. They have a large selection of beers Food and drinks: Great selection of beers!

Let me start by saying that every time we are visiting Niagara on the Lake we are dining at this pub and we never had any issues until our last visit. The food and drinks were great and the entertainment amazing but the overall experience left me with a bad feeling because of one incident that happened when we were sat at the table. Long story short, a server (not our server) came and got us up saying that he was holding that table for another group. He was extremely rude and did not even offer another table. This person should be sent for a training to refresh his customer service skills and until he passes a test should not be allowed to serve. Another server came to help us and offered us a table. The music also helped to bring the good spirits back. But are we going back? Not sure

The Olde Angel Inn was a favorite of my wifes for lunch when we visited Niagara-on-the-Lake from Rochester, NY every year. She passed away a couple years ago, and I stopped by for lunch while in NOTL after a round of golf at NOTL Golf Club. She always enjoyed the Shepards Pie and I always ordered the fish and chips, which I did on this day. It was as good as I remembered, and even though I now travel solo, The Olde Angel Inn brought back many good memories.

We caught an early lunch at the restaurant because we knew they often have line ups and I didnt want to miss out. This place oozes history and legend. You feel like youve stepped back in time. And the food.. wow. I had the steak Guiness and onion pie and my husband had the meatloaf dinner. It was spectacular.

British pub style, with good typical pub food. Stayed for three nights in their cottage. Very good overall experience and would return. Rooms: Cottage was nice Nearby activities: Too much to mention Walkability: Close to everything in NOTL. Food and drinks: Good pub grub

We enjoyed our lunch of a turkey club and steak pie dinner. Their house Pilsner was a nice add on. I ll have to try more of their beers next time. The rustic historic atmosphere completed the just steps of the Main Street experience.

Food was fine, nothing special but tasty and the patio outside is beautiful however our server was a bit rude and insisted we owed more money than what was shown on the bill. Unsure of the confusion but it was inappropriate and uncomfortable to be chased down for $2 that shouldnt have been necessary. We werent offered refills and constantly were rushed by the server because the patio was closing down but we were never told this by the hostess who sat us with a very lukewarm greeting. Not a horrible experience but definitely not coming back.

Phenomenal visit.. Great stay and excellent service

Had a nice dinner here on a Friday. Finding a seat was super easy even though it was peak time for dinner. Service was fast and friendly. The food was fantastic and most importantly authentic to its English counterparts. Prices were great for the area, one of the best restaurants in Niagra on The Lake.

Its comfortable but a bit noisy.

Excellent service and delicious food.

The staff was extra friendly, the rooms were cozy and the restaurant was great! This time I do have to say something and hope they take this into consideration. My boyfriend and I woke up to what sounded like the tables and chairs being dragged in the restaurant with who ever was doing it laughing and talking and a bit of carrying on. This was 7:30am! Not impressed! Knowing the inn is small and over 200 yrs old it s not sound proof. I would never say anything to jeopardize a business, this is only so that maybe when the staff read this that they ll take this little bit of info and consider the over night guests in the future It wasn t cheap!

Amazing food and great service.

Friendly, responsible service and a lively atmosphere can consistently be found at this historic pub. Cozy indoor accommodation in the colder months and an expansive dog friendly patio in the summer make this a solid year around destination for good food, cold beer and live music! And a shout out to Adam for top notch hospitality!

Excellent place, food great, staff very friendly. If ever you are in Nigeria on the lake, this place is a must to visit.

A historical pub with good cuisine and atmosphere.

First time here and everything was great!! Our server Jennifer was fantastic!! I love the atmosphere of the place! I also love the fact they stay open late :)

Wonderful little bar! So old school. Good vibes and wonderfully nice people

Domenic is a fantastic server!!! 10 out of 10!!

Wonderful stay!

Went to the inn for dinner on the recommendation of the front desk guy of the steeling inn. The service was ok. The food was fantastic!!! I had the bangers and mash, hubby had the Guinness steak pie. Delicious!!! I also ordered the spicy watermelon margarita. It was watermelon no spice at all. I would recommend this for dinner

A classic in NOTL (Niagara-on-the-Lake.) Very good beer on tap with many local and international brands. Never disappointed by the service, food or atmosphere. If you rent a room above a pub, remember youre renting a room above a pub. That being said, I know from the past that the rooms are comfortable, clean and well set up. Rooms

We have been here a few times when we visit Niagara on the Lake and love it. The staff are amazing. Weve never made it here for food but have always had such a nice time. Great bartenders and servers. We have never stayed at the inn, just visited the pub.

We love Angels best service and amazing food and entertainment. Adam out bartender is awesome, Lucas was a great server, so polite. Going back every time were town.

Came here for lunch. Wonderful experience. Beautiful old pub, I loved the look and feel of the historic building. Great beer selection on tap, nice full menu. We had the steak and kidney pie which was very well prepared, crispy crust and lots of meat with nice gravy.

Best pub /inn in the province! Like a genuine English pub.

Went just for dinner. Great atmosphere and great food.

Awesome place to grab a drink and meal!

Great place Great food

Always stop here for good food and a fun time when visiting Niagara on the lake.

Came for a dinner of 5. We had Keffrey who was very personable, funny and provided excellent customer service. Food was amazing as usual.

Great atmosphere. Great food. Best pub at Niagara on the lake. Highly recommend Roast Beef Dip Sandwich, the Old Smokey Burger and the steak and Guinness pie. Lovely staff.

Love this place. Extremely friendly staff and great food and a wide varietyof local beers and deliciouscocktails. Awesome atmosphere with a structure from the late 1700s, its always a fabulous experience. Highly recommended!!

We had dinner here tonight. It was delicious. Great-tasting British pub food in a proper British pub atmosphere. I ordered shepherds pie.

Its worth the visit. Lots of history from the war of 1812. Service is good along with good food.

Best bar in Niagara in the lake hands down. They pour a better Guinness than the Irish Harp. Best bartenders in the region especially Adam!!!

Been going to this pub for awhile and have always had a great time. On our last visit we sat on the patio and Rachel took our drink order and brought them to us but then we never saw her again. She attended other tables and helped them while we sat there and she continued to walk past us. We waited for 45 minutes to order food and never got to she never came back. We had to pay our tab at the bar and the bartender had to search through the system to find us. After a 45 minute wait we left without getting food. Absolutely TERRIBLE and unacceptable service.

Didnt stay here but really enjoyed the pub two times while visiting. The bar manager, Adam was fantastic and our food was pretty good. We ended up going on a Friday night for the cover band (Stuck in the 90s?) and havent had that much fun in a long time.

Weve been coming to the Angel for years! Food is always great and portions are generous! Our server, Kaitlyn, was prompt, courteous and friendly! Love it here when we come to Niagara On the Lake!

Poor customer service, Took forever to even come to the table to ask for water after sitting in. Waiters extremely rude not happy experience.

Was there on Saturday for lunch. We sat in the back patio and both ordered fish & chips. I agree the portion is large and we found our fish and chips soggy and greasy - could have been undercooked or sat waiting in pick up area too long. It had a movie theatre vibe, where all servers are inexperienced and younger. The 90 minutes we were there, service was slow, tables uncleared , requested our bill multiple times and no evidence of manager or leader.

The restaurant is over rated. Had the portobello mushroom melt. Came with fries . $24. Save your money. Not worth it. Great location, great service. Food is pub grub at best. Much better options for food in NOTL. Service

Went here on a day trip to Niagara. Burger was really good and the fries were amazing

Do you want to visit a bar immersed in history?! Then come here! Stylized interior, a fireplace with a burning fire, rough furniture, simple food and all this almost on the shore of Lake Ontario, where an American fort can be seen in the distance... create the feeling that you are in a tavern of the late 18th - early 19th century. It feels like some of the visitors come back here with love again and again. I personally liked the service: soldierly simple, friendly funny and homely hospitable. I recommend

Our server was swamped. Very hard to get a drink with him, no manners, would take only half the tables order then frantically run off again. Once we finally waved him down again to take our food order it came fast.

Ask staff about the ghost. The best bar I know but some of that is nostalgia because its the only bar I can remember going to as a teenager that still exists. There is another but I dont remember drinking there, only working there, as a teenager. Most beers are 20 oz which is great Some are an American 16 oz and much more expensive, watch out Dont buy them, teach them that a pint in Canada is 20 oz by definition (Note, this wasnt a problem not that long ago. Definitely not in 2019 or before.) A pint is 20 oz according to our government folks. A British bar that survived the War of 1812 shouldnt serve American 16 oz pints ever Food and drinks: I believe Ive had more beers at this specific bar than any other bar or other room in existence. Ive been drinking there all my life though I live out of town now.

Brilliant service and brilliant beer. Atmosphere is superb. We are visiting from the UK and appreciate a good pub.

Delicious mushroom risotto and espresso martini!!

Matt Salabi and Jane were great! Thanks so much ... Did not get a chance to check out the rooms but my friends say they there are ghost tours I am looking forward to. Food and drinks: British themed, Ghost tours Noteworthy details: Seasonal

Vibes were 10/10 Ok so the espresso martini was 6/10 BUT the vibes were awesome! Loved the live music, the bustling indoors, it really felt like you were walking into a pub in a fairy tale with all the old wooden beams. Service was quick, they had many staff members working and they were ALL working! It was really cool! Would recommend checking it out, the pub is also one of the only places opened later in NOTL!

We went to Olde Angel for drinks, food, and music. The ambiance and the old world charm are fantastic! The staff made us feel welcomed and part of the local scene. We would consider this to be the top bar/drinking establishment in Niagara-on-the-Lake! We were fortunate enough to meet the owner and manager and they were both extremely friendly, welcoming, and committed to making sure we had a phenomenal experience at Olde Angel. We would recommend visiting to anyone who asked!! A go-to place! You will be sorry if you miss it!!

Delicious food, good atmosphere, great music.

Good service and food

Best Pub ever!!!!!

Next to the hotel there is a bar where you can eat and drink. Vegan options are available. It tasted delicious and the atmosphere and staff are great.

If you want 5 star, high class and sappy touristy people, go elsewhere. If you want a quaint hidden gem of a restaurant/ bar with great food, great people and an awesome hometown atmosphere go here! You wont be disappointed! Fish n chips to die for. This is where staff from neighboring establishments come to have a cocktail. You know its good then! Food and drinks: Delicious! Intoxicating! And decently priced.

The restaurant has some excellent food. If you re dining there. Try the fisherman s pie. It s literally the best thing they have on their menu. It s steeped in a lot of history. Supposedly it s haunted.

This place should be closed down. Food is frozen then served..mine came practically frozen . ..cole slaw had vanilla extract in it..they laughed and played it off saying didnt you get the memo ?? Servers are dressed like they rolled out of bed...yoga pants, messy buns no class, no effort in anyway into their appearance. Food sucks. Drinks come from cans..bees knees and French 75 which are 9 bucks. They are 3 bucks at lcbo. Bathrooms are gross.. dont waste your money!!!!

Must see in NOTL

Fish & chips yummy !! Great service, too. Was hoping to see the ghost; maybe next time.

We went for lunch. Great atmosphere, food, drinks, and service. It is one of our favorite places in town.

Our experience in the olde angel pub was very sub par. The Bad- food and service The good- drinks and atmosphere We had awful service. We had to flag down our server to take our food order and we had to flag him down every time someone in our party wanted another drink. He never removed the dinner menus from our table (which crowded our table) and he NEVER came to the table to ask how our food was (which if I had of he would have heard that the food was awful). We were also celebrating a birthday and we asked if he would bring a slice of cheesecake to the birthday girl. We were worried that the server may bring out the cake too early since he had been so incompetent thus far. Sure enough he brought out the cake BEFORE we were done eating and BEFORE he had removed a single dirty dinner plate. I was shocked by this as this is like server 101 and basic common sense that seemed lost on our server. He also didn t bring a utensils for the cake to the eaten with. He then wrapped up our dinner experience by informing us he wanted cash tips which was jarring. We were a table of 6 so not a super large group but it seemed like the server did not want to acknowledge us as we watched him give what appeared to be much better service to a group of 2 who came in just after us. The food came out to us cold and the chicken in the Caesar wrap and the curry was obviously frozen pre cooked chicken strips (think the chicken breast strips from the deli of a grocery store) as the chicken was served cold and flavourless. The best part of the meal was the fries and the cheesecake! The drinks were great and well priced. The pub atmosphere is charming and the live music was nice. That being said I will never be back given how terrible the service was and the food was so expensive and bad.

Great atmosphere. Food is really good as is the service. Definitely worth a visit.

Really good food and setvice.

Didnt stay at the inn, just dinner and desert. Friendly staff. Attentive to customers. I like the selection of imports on tap, my only regret is the Caffreys tap wasnt working, but the Kilkenny and Guinness was great. Had Bangers and Mash with Guinness gravy for dinner, very delicious and the gravy is sublime. Bread pudding for desert was big portion and very sweet. I only wish I had more time to go back and try the sticky toffee pudding. Cool architecture from 1789, an awesome historic site to have a pint and unwind. Cool local history to enjoy with friends and family. Everyone loves a pub with a ghost story to it.

First time trying the Sunday roast beef dinner and it was sadly...not great. The sides were ok(lukewarm at best) but the beef was very dry....too overdone. We ordered a bottle of Inniskillin red for my husband and our friend and according to my husband it was not great. I had a red Sangria that was very tasty. The bread pudding for dessert was also good. We werent aware that the roast beef was going to be thinly sliced, well done, and smothered in gravy but I guess, for the price, you get what you pay for. We have had other meals at the Angel Inn that were very good but we wont be having the roast beef again.

I cant comment on the rooms because we only attended the pub. The vibe was great with lively chatter and, later, a pretty awesome band. On the other hand, the food left a lot to be desired. We ordered the escargot, stuffed mushrooms, and crab cakes. None of the appetizers were particularly bad or particularly good. Both the mushrooms and escargot were caked in cheese though. For mains our table had the fish n chips, steak Guinness onion pie, a wrap, lamb shank, and meatloaf. None of it was exceptional or resonated as comfort food. To paint a clear picture, the meatloaf was reheated leftovers with previously frozen carrots/peas and a side of canned beans all smothered in a think brown gravy that congealed on arrival. Food aside, the pub has a vibrant atmosphere. Id recommend the location for music/drinks.

What a great place, the service is excellent, people are friendly and the rooms are authentic and spacious. Sadly we didnt see any ghosts maybe next time! Rooms: The Colonel room was excellent, everything was great the only small criticism is its quite noisy there so much so they give you ear plugs when you check in

Servers were polite, that is the positive of this review. Two adults, two starters, two mains, two cokes $120 plus tip. Starters - French onion soup- chunky cheese, insipid broth & soggy bread Mains Fish & chips - whoever gave the fish & chips an award needs to take it back. The fries were very obviously reheated to the point they were deep brown & dry. The fish was flavourless, the batter was undercooked & stodgy. Bangers & Mash - overly cooked sausages are unseasoned mashed potato No English pub would ever serve this poor excuse for food, this is a completely money grab banking on tourists looking for a cliche English pub meal.
