Food was amazing, employees are super nice! Vibe was awesome! Prices great!

I ordered nachos and they were legit the worst nachos I have ever had. I had to send the first one back because they put this weird extremely spicy green salsa on it. Oh and I had to wait 45 minutes for this garbage to come out. Anyways I sent it back and the nachos that came out were worst than the first batch. The cheese wasn’t even melted, the nacho chips were overcooked and there were huge chunks of veggies on it. I wouldn’t even recommend going there to get a drink. Terrible terrible.

Love me a good dive bar and Stag's fits the bill. I go for the $2 pool. The servers are always sweet and the drinks are nicely-priced. BTW if ever you see a dude playing the worst pool game you've ever seen, come by and say hi.

Food was good, we got the Stag's platter I think it was called. Clean, good servers. It was a little busy so the wait time wasn't bad. They have a pool table, darts and TV's.

Damon didn't need to treat me to a steak dinner that one day. Felt like a couple brothers breaking bread. I'll never forget the man, as I'm sure anyone who met him likely won't. Walked by this place for the first time as a kid, Thought the musicians were the most talented people I had seen live so far playing on the outdoor patio. Hendrix covers that blew my little mind... Who I was later in life able to impress those very musicians, a landmark in my life. A place that has a feel. History that I wish the walls could share.

Stag’s is an honest, down-to-earth place to go. Great prices on drinks, and they know how to use a deep fryer (I have a thing for french fries - onion rigs too). Nuthin’ fancy, but I always leave happy.

Food is amazing yes downtown Oshawa pub is actually amazing food 😍🤩 I am always impressed 💯😁 the servers are quick witty and usually don't leave you sitting very long at all. Notice empty drinks Right away a plus :) the people are nice but alot of drama for a bar. I have not been in some time but if they had more care about what kind of people they let in they would do way better it has a reputation as a dive bar. Which is definitely definitely is. That Said, the food is great the drinks are strong and cheap. They have pool. I wouldn't bring kids here to much drunkenness even for a bar they have people fall down drunk at 2 pm. The owners are nice too. Servers are great 👍 some are more friendly then others but they all are good at their job. Close to bus and lots of parking

I dont normally leave a bad review. But this place needs to hear it .not impressed to say the least. Maybe because Im not a local, but I sat at the bar for 5 minutes before the waitress noticed me. I almost left (should have). Asked for a Guinness she started pouring it all wrong, stopped halfway, than forgot to come back (almost left again) Anyway I wont be back! Also didnt even ask if I wanted a menu .

Girlfriend had two beers and was cut off the first hour was there, while stumbling people kept being able to buy next rounds. Bouncers as well as bartenders use own opinion entirely, instead of using proper smart serve protocol, like please god, stop getting shots bought for you and actually do your jobs

Wish I had discovered The Stags Head Pub And Grill earlier in my stay in downtown Oshawa. I didnt check any reviews before going, just decided to head out on Tuesday night from the hotel and look for a nearby place to eat. The Pub sign saidfine pub fare..ok...Ill give it a shot. I didnt expect to see such a big menu...lots of variety. I certainly didnt expect chicken fettacini alfredo..but it was there so I took a gamble on it. Wow.....Ive had alfredo at Italian restaurants and this dish at this pub puts some of them to shame. Excellent pasta perfectly cooked, more chicken than Ive ever seen in this dish at restaurants that charge a lot more. Presentation was excellent as was portions. The garlic bread served with the dish in triangles was a nice touch and sprinklings of parmesan along the side of the plate was nice as well. Creamy sauce was the right consistency that didnt gum up the noodles at all. This along with two draught beers was under $40!! Super service with just the right amount of table visits...server actually gave a little courtsey when I paid the bill. Highly recommend if you like great tasting food, decent pricing, good service and no frills as theres not really much ambiance to the place...but I wasnt there for that and I will visit again next time Im here as I hope my experience wasnt beginners luck.

We sat at their outdoor patio. One side had umbrellas, the other didnt. Staff was very friendly. Good prices, standard pub fare with soup, salads, burgers, pasta etc. I ordered the fishn chips which were well prepared but they didnt bring me the coleslaw. When I inquired they said they didnt have any...sorry a small piece of lettuce and a slice of tomato isnt the same.

Where else can you lose your car keys and in a frantic panic the next morning call the pup. Sure enough the owner was there and said yup I have them come to the front door. WoW.....

We were recently here at this Puff. Id like to say that their food selections are pretty good. The chef or cook knows how to prepare a lot of variety in food items. The portion that I got was very expanded. The staff and employees that work here are always very friendly and very courteous. They always attend to your tables and never leave you waiting.

I was blessed by great service, even though i accidentally spilled a drink! At one point, the help actually removed my empty glass from the table after I was done quite politely. It was busy for staff New Year, but we all had gentle fun, with new faces as great stranger company, and reasonable bouncers, professional, courteous, safe. The karaoke was willing to mold to your likes, treating the line up fair, keeping the vibe for everyone, with an awesome countdown. Young and Old mix elequently to the music, pool table, and multiple angled T.V.s with multiple things on. Despite my embarassing facade of dropping pop, I wasnt humiliated further because of good judgment. Less a Star for false advertising though, said open for three hours, and wasnt. Booking space to open, probably will fill one third the customers. Bar hopping for a single beer, lead to problems with another bar. Lesson, dont drink? Agitation indirect.

I tried to go here for a beer on a Sunday night. The bartender was extremely rude and informed me that she had already closed her register as she wanted to go home even though closing time was still 45 minutes away. They had a few customers on the patio who were also shocked at her attitude. I tried a second time to go here for a beer and the sign in the window said Open however there was no staff to be found. So they do not want the business during these times. Then they will not get mine. I cannot recommend anything about this place but to stay away from it.

December 22, 2020

Worst service ever, rude owner, I was there during COVID-19 and they sat me literally right beside someone so close our elbows were touching. Worst place ever never going there again.

UPDATE WAS ASSAULTED AGAIN BY THE BOUNCER . BAD VERY BAD FOR BUSSINESS AS IM DISABLED SHAME on this establishment for serving raw food five times to same customer.Shame on this establishment for allowing their bouncer to physically assault a disabled customer with a service dog. And to add insult to the assault. Banned disabled person from joining friends there. Two thumbs down . as the assault was caught on camera and the owner destroyed evidence this post is soley on the owner . the great servers and bartenders have nothing to do with the owners behavior

to stags. : I whitnessed the boumcer jeremy physically grab a patron who is disabled and try to remove her from the bar. She has done nothing wrong to be barred. I find it absolutly discusting that ur bar would allow this disabled person to be assaulted. I was willing to look past the food being raw on occasion however i wont return to ur bar for the sole reason your bouncer physically assaults a disabled person for no reason. And i will tell my friends not to go to ur bar for said reasons.

An exceptional dine and dash place. It was my first time at the Stag, and I enjoyed both my food and the atmosphere. Customer service was excellent, I am quite a picky eater- and the server had an ample knowledge of the ingredients in the food and shared his expertise. Presentation of the meal was beautiful , it was too good to even eat! I would definitely recommend this place, to high school and post secondary students who are on a budget. The price on the menu is affordable, unlike other fast food places that rip your wallet. Cannot wait to try their pasta again. Excellent work management team.
