We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Publican House. There was a mixup regarding whether or not we could eat outside as we were coming from out of town and had our dog with us. Turns out the patio was closed but they helped us out by seating us next to a door inside, and we were able to tie our dog up and keep an eye on her. Our server rustled up a water bowl for her and even gave her pets and love. The service was outstanding. Oh, and the food was good too. ☺️
Publican House Brewery and Pub never disappoints! Their chicken pizza is absolutely delicious — perfectly cooked with a great balance of toppings and flavor. Paired with their Caesar salad, it's a winning combination. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service is top-notch. A great spot for both food and drinks!
I don't think we've eaten there before but our whole experience was first rate. I'm sorry that I didn't catch the name of our server but she was funny, pleasant, helpful and a joy to meet. The food was great and my OG Backdoor chicken sandwich may have been the best chicken sandwich I've eaten it was that good. Make sure, if you order that sandwich, you add the Cajun hot sauce. It made for a lovely buzz to the sandwich. Thanks P.H.!
We had a larger party of 10 and with a reservation had no problems getting a table for that size of group. Staff were friendly and quick to respond to requests. The beer choice here is great, and it's a nice change force you into trying something new. Would recommend if in the area.
Good place to eat. Nice patio. Cauliflower bites and Grilled Calamari over pineapple slaw.. so good! My friend said the Funghi pizza was one of the favourite pizzas she's ever had. Wood fired and light and crispy. Gluten free options !
I had the pleasure of attending two different events at the Publican House. One was in the morning with coffee and pastries provided while the other was in the evening serving beverages and appetizers. The food is very tasty and there is a variety to choose from. The bars are both gorgeous and the bartenders are excellent. Shout out to Josh! He made Lavender Mojitos that were pretty and refreshing! The patio is a wonderful hideaway on a busy street that you don’t notice. The entire restaurant is beautifully decorated too. Amazing atmosphere for any event. The brewery is next door and offers beer for purchase
We went for the first time on the weekend and I was blown away by this restaurant. The atmosphere is two-fold: a friendly yet rustic-chic bar area when you first walk in, and then a cozy back area to dine at the tables. The kitchen is partially open giving you access to see the large wood oven where they make the pizzas fresh. The menu was great! Lots of options but not overwhelming. We ordered two appetizers: the dip trio and the Cuban egg rolls. The portion size is amazing and just the apps alone were phenomenal (I’ve never had Cuban rolls like this). We ordered the Nashville Hot Backdoor with a Moroccan salad (best choice) and the Brussel Sprout Steak Salad and it was literally likely the best dishes I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The Moroccan salad alone was so flavourful, not packed with a ton of different random ingredients so you could truly enjoy the flavours, sauce, etc. My sandwich felt like it was 4lbs and my husbands steak salad was crazy good and amazing portion size!! Our server Magda was so sweet and friendly, and made the experience all that much better. Honestly if you’ve never been to this restaurant this is your sign to do so. Will be back again (and again)!
The atmosphere is fantastic, an upscale Brewery pub yet down-to-earth, so you don't need to be overdressed. We enjoyed a flight of 4 in-house draft beers that were excellent. Loved the Hazelnut Coffee Stout. The cheese dip was a new experience with pickles and hot peppers. Buffalo chicken pizza was addictive. Both dishes complimented the draft perfectly. The server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the beer. All in all this is going to be our new date night pub.
Had our Christmas party here was a great meal all around
Had a great time
Fantastic staff and amazing food
Some of the employees look like they re taking hard drugs or are inbred. Aside from that beer and food was ok.
Overall great place for for food, hospitality and atmosphere
Best lunch. Fast, delicious, great servers and staff.
Absolutely worth every dollar. Loved the food, drinks and service, smiles and good times from staff. felt so welcome. Thank you guys.
Great food and beers! The atmosphere was relaxing and the staff were friendly.
Fast, delicious, good value, good vibe, good music, good service!
The staff were great ... very friendly and had super positive attitudes which probably raised the atmosphere a bit higher than it should be. The food was OK but didnt have an impact either way. Im happy to go back but nothing is pulling me there.
I have never had a bad experience eating here. Their portions are fitting and the staff have always been pleasent to deal with. Their high noon beer and any of their pizzas cant be beat. Such a gem to have downtown.
Nice spot to go with family.
Great wings and fries. Macaroni and cheese outstanding. It was really busy but the service was excellent and we got the good quickly. Lovely meal. Reasonably priced
A reasonable walk from the Peterborough Marina. Tried a beer flight as did my wife. This gave us 8 beers to taste and all were great, which isnt always the case. Maybe the nitro is the one you have to try if only one beer. Also had a Cuban roll, this was really good. Nice atmosphere and good service.
Food was ok, only tried their Sunday brunch menu tho. Great little patio. Staff was great very accommodating. Parking: Theres a couple spots on the street to park but there is a paid parking lot across the road
Food, Beer and Service were all great. I had the fish and chips with poutine and it was awesome. Did find it a bit quiet for a Saturday night.
I just had a chicken Caesar salad that was served with chicken thighs. This is certainly abnormal and very un tasty. Chicken Caesar salad is one of my go to meals and I ve never seen it Served with thighs before. The lettuce had turned as well. I ve never in my life left food on my plate but walked away from a full plate.
Great service, nice deck to sit out on, tasty food. Only thing add to the menu is a vegan friendly burger. Excellent variety of beer, and nice little store at the side restaurant to buy take out craft beer
Awesome dins before Musicfest Staff were awesome Food was delicious And they had beer! Will be back for sure!
The food is amazing here. Best mojito Ive ever had. To top it off, Sarah might be the best server in the industry. Worth a Michelin star, if not 3.
If you are visiting Peterborough, make sure to come here at least once. This is a place i like to always come, I totally recommend it. Their beer is good, their food is good. Only pet peeve i have, there was no ambiance music playing, which would help create a more inviting space.
Had a lunch here food was really good. Had the calamari, wings and OG chicken sandwich. They were very corteous and accommodating of my dog. Definitely the best restaurant ive eaten that accommodates dogs.
Great service and food
Inexperienced server, mediocre undercooked burger with a mountain of dry burnt fries, Good luck!
I had reserved a large party table for 20+ people three weeks in advance, the day before my sister s wedding as a welcome dinner for her bridal party. I was informed of the 18% gratuity that is required for a party of that size. I understand that it is a large party and extra work is required for the servers and kitchen, this was not an issue. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was only one server for our entire table. I am giving this restaurant a 1 star review because of their extremely poor customer service. Our server did not introduce herself to the table, she was unfriendly and she did not go over the menu with us. She then took over 30 minutes to start taking dinner orders and I even had to ask her to start taking everyone s orders. She came back once to check on our food but was inattentive and cold. When it is expected to provide an 18% tip for a bill of almost $1000, I would have expected much better customer service. When I provided her with the mandatory tip, she simply looked at the cash, did not bother to say thank you and then walked off. Additionally, when I had booked this dinner I was not informed of a live musician playing directly at the head of our table. When we asked to have the music turned down or moved, we were told that by the server this is where the musician always plays. Their food was okay but like most other reviews indicated - it is overpriced. Management needs to work with their servers on their professionalism and should have at least 2 servers for larger parties. The customer service, lack of communication, live music at the head of the table and overall experience is why I would not recommend this restaurant to family and friends in the future.
Great food and so dog friendly!! We will always stop here with our dogs when passing through! They got a bowl of water and some bacon!
Youre going for the atmosphere. Great live music, fabulous patio and engaging interior. Service, food quality, and price always leave me wanting but its still a great place to go with a good beer menu.
Awesome food and service
Very pleasant patio. Service was great. Menu is somewhat limited - lots of appetizers, few mains. Good selection of beers. Well suited to anyone wanting beer and snacks on a patio - we would return for this purpose.
Great place. Will be back again, next time were in Peterborough
Good atmosphere, service was terrible. This girl didnt want to be there and she wanted everyone to know. Our entire table (10 people) was served our dinner and she never came back! Not to see Id we had everything we needed for our meal not even for drinks. We all had empty glasses the entire meal. I had the smash burger. A McDonalds cheeseburger is bigger. For 22$ the price was ridiculous. The food wasnt worth the price at all. 204$ for 4 people to have dinner insane. Definitely not going back. Maybe find another way to make up the profits instead of gouging customers.
Great service, pizza was okay, great patio.
Less Quantity for the price .
Derek, you make the best pizza
Slow service
Weve been here many times and love the staff. Always friendly. The cooks are great. Great that they have the wine on tap back. Would highly recommend going here. For either a quick drink on the way home or out for dinner with their wood oven pizza or a gathering of friends. If you like craft beer, Im told that its really great.
Chicken sandwich was delicious. Staff were great. Tables are a little small.
Great patio, great fries.
Beet salad was delightful. Full of all sorts of delicious food combinations. Fries were spectacular. This was my quick pick up dinner because I forgot mine. Nice, filling and enjoyable. Will forget my dinner again!! Food
Fries was burned. Beer was okay, good staff.
Amazing food! Specials all always amazing
Sorry but $85 for a 3oz burger with processed cheese, a small greasy dry souvlaki wrap with no tahini or tzatziki and 2 flat beers? My bad, I saw it coming but thats not good and cant support the gouging of prices. I just got a double patty juicy burger yesterday for $6. Im not saying it should cost $6, but I dont see the justification of $22, especially when the 5oz patty shrinks to 3oz once the grease comes out. Patio wasnt even open on a gorgeous day like today. Restaurants need to find better ways to make bank. If you cant afford to stay open figure out other ways to get people in the door than price gouging. How about bigger portions if you charge ridiculous amounts or lower the price. Kind regards, Im still hungry
Smash burger was great, had it with a flight of Paddlers, Pilsner, Irish Ale and the Porter. All nice beers.
The photo is their chicken waffles. Oh.my.GOD! Gooood...
Superb gastropub. Beer selection is excellent, and service was top notch. Food is outstanding. Highly recommend for dining in Peterborough.
The food is mediocre. The prices are high and when it came time to pay the bill that there was a mandatory 18% gratuity. There is no such thing as a mandatory gratuity . I wont be going back.
Had dinner here with my partner and their parents, super enjoyable night! We were there pretty early on a Sunday evening so it wasnt crowded but the dining area was lovely! I liked the paintings by local artist as well as the fact they had an open kitchen. Our server, Amanda, was literally the BEST!! She was super friendly and knowledgeable on the food, just a great personality! The food came surprising fast, we probably spent more time debating then waiting lol. The table really enjoyed the two burgers and the falafel but found the wings a touch overcooked/tough. The wings were apparently greatly improved by the sauce which was by all account phenomenal! Overall a great place and 11/10 will come again!
Great selection of food and local beers at this place, a must visit for Peterborough! Loved the smash burger and Cuban rolls, theyre pizza is amazing too! Great patio too!
Just had beer. The beer was great.
Hazelnut coffee stout; KFC; fungi pizza. Everything is like ah wow.
Great food and great selection of beer. Truly a high achievement for a small pub - very impressive and worth visiting.
Neighborhood restaurant. Wonderful food and staff
Great food and incredible service. Josh went above and beyond as our server and we so appreciated it.
Great food and great atmosphere
Awesome food
Amazing staff, amazing atmosphere, amazing food. Love this place, especially the Cuban Egg Rolls and pizza!
Great atmosphere! Apps we quick and tasty... main course was excellent...our server was amazing...
Great place for a nice lunch good good great service convenient downtown location - definitely will return
5 stars all around! Great food and friendly staff! Ill be back ! Food
Interior was nice, staff were nice, no line up but the food, beers and even Pepsi were terrible!!! There were flies everywhere. The caesar salad sweet and the burger soggy. Would not come here again
The Cuban Sandwich was so MASSIVE & extra tasty with the Honey Sauce. The bartender is very cool, attentive, & a great energy. He makes the four sauces & I love the Honey & the Mango sauce. Great flavourmto add to the Cuban Sandwich, really a massive improvement.
We are lucky to have such a well rounded brewery here in Peterborough. Something for every taste. Quality beer, friendly staff; and a lot of the products support local organizations and charities
Everything is great here from the beer to the pizza, salads and mains. We eat here every time we are in Peterborough and its always fantastic.
Food was too good
First time there. Loved it.
Had a fantastic experience when we booked the upstairs space to host a private event. Food was fantastic, great selection of beers and drinks, and service was excellent. We can t wait to come back!
Had the Big P for lunch today hands down the best burger I have ever had Great service wonderful experience
Great waitress. Great bartender. Great food.
Delicious food, great atmosphere, and a great variety on their menu. Im looking forward to trying more menu items when we go back!
Excellent restaurant! Very cute and cozy spot with an open restaurant - the atmosphere is lovely. Food and service were great.
Stopped in for a lunch with a friend. Our server (Amanda) was great. Great service and she has a great sense of humour. Thanks for making our lunch extra special.
Loved it
Lovely atmosphere, fantastic service
After reading the reviews of this place we had a high expectations but end up disappointed.We share brie cheese appetizer wich consisted of luke warm, quarter round of brie with tablespoon of arugula salad on a side and cranberry sauce $15, and pepperoni pizza for $22 wich was small, and barely has any cheese on it.We decided to skip desert and save money. On top of that there is only limited parking on the street and you have to pay for it, and this place is not worth it.This restaurant is overpriced and overrated. We wanted to like it but will take our business some place else.
First off our waiter, Mark, was an absolute rockstar- amazing service! The lamb burger and fish and chips are my personal fav. The lamb burger is soooo good, your eyes roll back into your head when you take your first bite. Also I would say - hands down the best place in town for fish and chips.
If your buddy tells you your gunna have the best burger in Peterborough and then takes you anywhere other than here, you re in the wrong spot. Perfectly toasted warm brioche bun, the juiciest burger but somehow not wet and messy, bacon was also perfectly done.
Nice venu, extremely extremely overpriced, a smash burger and fries for $25. Draft beer for $8-$10. Nope. I asked for I taster nope I had to buy a flight. Im not into the gouging of food prices. I wont reccomend.
Patio experience is excellent. Great food and service as usual. Definitely will return.
The food was amazing but the service was terrible. We had one of the pizzas and the shrimp appetizer which was delicious. We were in a group of seven and the service started alright but quickly went downhill. Our server forgot our drinks, water and our food came out later than the rest of the groups. We ended up being the only ones not to tip because we never ended up getting our drinks or water. The waiter looked and the machine after each person paid and just through our receipt on the table. Everyone elses receipt was handed to them and he told them to have a good night. Since we didnt tip we were ignored, he was visibly upset and through our receipt. Could have been a great meal but very unprofessional service.
The food is delicious and patio atmosphere is awesome. The problem which I feel warrants 3 stars is that we waited 90 minutes to receive our food after ordering: Ordered at 7:15, received at 8:45. We arrived hungry. There was a wedding party upstairs that was higher priority and we were forced to accept the long wait. Others had to wait just as long too. I m trying not to sound entitled here but I feel the long wait should have been acknowledged to us with some form of discount. The staff could have communicated the scenario better, it feels like we were avoided for most of the wait. The feeling of having to order and pay for extra appetizers because your food isn t showing up is not a good one.
If you are gluten sensitive or celiac this is not the place, very little gluten free options available. I opted for the beet and goat cheese salad with chicken. I expected a chicken breast but got dark meat, looked like shredded chicken thigh it was greasy and the dressing on the salad was heavy. I think chicken breast and dressing on the side would have served a better rating for the food on this visit. I would love to see a gluten free pizza crust option because I hear the pizza is really good here. Otherwise The atmosphere is nice, it s clean with a decent drink menu.
Today was the opening of the Publican House. Katie, one of the co-owners, was there this evening to welcome guests as well as Laura (you can reserve or walk up). They have carefully established washable menus as well as online menus. A spare table to reduce contact. Our waitress Taylor was a delight as well. I believe they can seat about 43 people? I have delighted in this corner for decades since it was Peterborough Arms where food, drink and great music would spill out onto the streets. I know that the music cant return until we are at least beyond Covid. Tonight was our first meal, sitting in a restaurants patio. Thanks to everyone who was involved with making the meal of hope possible! My beloved had the Mac n Cheese and has enough for another meal! I pigged out on their double patty and awesome fries with half sitting in the fridge for a midnight snack or tomorrows lunch! Come and hang out, chat with your neighbours, meet new friends and share lifelong memories! Way to go PH staff. (Sept 2022) The four of us tonight for a late dinner. Lovely evening on the balcony. Quite enjoyed the service of Geoff, both pleasant and helpful. Great place, great time. (May 2023) Michaela was our waitress, what an amazing young woman! Great service. We so enjoy coming here. Thanks team!!
Maybe Im just not part of this new trendy thing, but I wasnt overly impressed with anything there. It looked awesome from outside. The menu looked sure to impress. Was a small menu, which should mean they do a great job on the food. I had the special chicken Sammy, and it was ok. The beer was not overly cold, more sort of warmish. Im not saying it was bad, but for what we paid for our meals, it could have been better. The server was great. Food came out in great time. A small menu usually means they do awesome dishes. However we were not impressed with the food. Overall we will most likely not be back but dont let that stop you from checking it out.
Just ordered a spinach dip for pickup. The taste is fantastic, the portion size is awful for how much it costs. Theres a spicy kick to it which I personally love but if you dont like anything spicy, maybe stay away. Super disappointed with the portion size. The takeout container maybe has 1/2 or 2/3 an inch. Definitely not worth $20 for how much you get, almost seems like a rip off. Another redeeming factor though, the buttered pita on the side was super yummy and well made.
Publican house is underrated!! The food is awesome. Huge portion sizes. I got the shrimp tacos and they were the best I ve ever had. Beer is delicious- I loved all four kinds in my flight. Gorgeous patio and the service was spot on. My family will be back for sure!
Worth the drive just for the french fries!!! I love those old fashion fries where it has the skin, plus they re thin and crispy. Most times I only eat a handful of fries when I go to any restaurant. These ones I ate all of them and had to bring my wrap home with me. The wrap was great too but next time I m in Peterborough, I m going back to get the fries!
Fried chicken sandwich is exceptional Beers are good. Staff is super nice. Not all items on menu are available, but that s fine. Thank you. Will return for sure.
Great beers and the Cuban egg rolls are 100% amazing
We were there yesterday and got two corn beef sandwich . It was terrible . When you take a bite of the sandwich all the meat(if you want to call it meat) would come out because it was all FAT. The sourdough bread had so much butter/ margarine it was awful. Tried the restaurant twice. Never again. NOT recommend.
I want to love this place. It s a former student bar when I was in university. We ve been 4 times since it opened and have yet to have a meal that was good. We were there a week ago and had dinner - our wings were the smallest I ve seen in a long time and were clearly cooked much earlier in the day and reheated - my jaw hurt from trying to chew them (no exaggeration) The fries were in the same condition- old and reheated. The beer is great and I often buy from their shop. We are super local to this place and want to love it. But that s the last time. Lots of other good restaurants downtown to choose from. The manager looked after the meals - but still super disappointed. Sorry guys but get your act together. Stop serving old food.
Did not love it. Server amazing....Mac and cheese so dry and almost no cheese, burger is a burger....the Cuban egg rolls were awesome
The Home Depot bucket of clean cutlery has to go. Great servers. Fast order.
Absolutely amazing food, service and atmosphere. The server was more than helpful. So much to chose from. Great place to go with your friends.
Great vibes inside and on the patio. We had the Ceasar, Margherita Pizza, and Shrimp Tacos. The in-house beer was also really good. Food took a while and it wasnt that busy. Would definitely recommend and were eager to try more of their menu.
Recommend their ale beer if you enjoy a lite beer. I had the Mac n Cheese as my entree which comes with a Cesar salad and cheese bread. At first, it didn t look like a lot but it sure does fill you up quick!!
Id rate it 50 stars if I could. Its our neighbourhood go-to for a reason - people, atmosphere, drinks and food are always top-notch.
The food was great but the service was above and beyond. Our waitress was so friendly, helpful and accommodating. My virgin drink had too much ice so she suggested a flavoured soda to top it and didn t charge us. What a lovely gesture. It made my day. Will return whenever we re around.
Waitress with long brown curly hair wasnt the happiest or kindest you hope to meet while paying these prices, we arrived on our motorcycle and werent treated the same as others. Will be going to the Keg the next time hands down. As thats where we were headed until we realized they werent open yet. Food was mediocre at best, Chicken Ceaser had almost no dressing for $21.00 along with Mac n cheese having no taste.
Fantastic service, fantastic drinks, amazing food!
Good beers from take out store, but awkward when prompted to tip when paying. Get rid of it. Pay the person behind the counter more.
Great flight of brews with lots of variety to choose from Onsite pizza oven with great pizza and Don Sauce hot sauce to boot.
This pub offers a great atmosphere with delicious pizza and an impressive beer selection. However, the childrens menu is a letdown due to its high prices, including an extra fee for a small glass of milk. The live music adds a cool vibe, and the cozy interior and shaded patio are inviting. Their pilsner beer is a personal favorite.
Great selection. Great prices. Fantastic hours of operation
Clean place, Friendly staff and great food! Along with good beer picks! And they sell some really good hot sauce
Great place, amazing food and friendly service!
We had our wedding ceremony and reception here recently and the staff at Publican House were amazing. They were super helpful the entire time while planning and made our day super special. They helped us figure out the logistics of the evening seamlessly and were quick to answer any questions we had. The food was amazing as always as well as the drinks. Highly recommend public house for planning any sort of event!
good service reasonable price
Nice beer, nice food, nice company.
Had a lovely impromptu dinner at Publican House yesterday. The pub was recommended to us by local area shop owners. It was -50000C and we came in chilled to the bone but happy to see there was a daily soup special - a vegan coconut curry with sweet potato soup. My partner and I each ordered the soup and split the Nashville Hot Backdoor - spicy fried chicken sandwich. Staff were super friendly and split the sandwich and fries for us onto two plates in the kitchen, which was unexpected and very kind of them. The coconut sweet potato soup was perfect and delicious and really hit the spot on such a cold evening. It was well seasoned and not overly sweet - well balanced. The fried chicken sandwich was fantastic. The batter was so light and airy. The fries were similarly crispy and relatively light. We also tried their Our Pet Pilsner and part of the proceeds go toward the Peterborough Humane Societys building fund. A tasty, not overwhelming pilsner - went great with our meal. Overall a lovely dinner at a local spot. We were happy to support a local business.
Smash burgers are to die for!
Amazing food and service. I will definitely.go back!
Our Real Estate Team decided to have lunch there today. The service was great and the food was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back
Drove all the way there for lunch, paid for parking and stood out in the rain trying to figure out why the door was locked. If you re closed on Mondays, show that on Google. Waste on my time.
Amazing!! Will be back.
Great beer and excellent food. Will definitely be returning.
Excellent Food and Service
1st time there. Great hospitality and food. Great prices, friendly staff. Will definitely be back. Double smash = DELICIOUS
Tasty and really huge portions!:)
Amazing food, atmosphere and staff. Their set up is great for COVID precautions. We were very impressed!
Great food great service. Great bear
We ate there for the first time it was well worth the trip the food was great and the beer was awesome amazing service
Food and service was good. Would prefer a better wine selection other then Niagara wines Too noisy inside, for us, we couldnt hear each other so maybe next time we will try the patio!!
Great staff, comfortable atmosphere, the shrimp tacos are amazing!
Nice place, we ate outside. Local craft beer and wood oven pizza were great! Special thanks to our waitress Amanda!
I love this place! My boyfriend and I have been here a few times since moving to peterbourgh last summer. Every time we come, we have great service, great food, and even better beers! DEFINITELY will be back!
Excellent food and service
Stopped here on the way up to a cottage and was so happy with the experience we had. There is a parking lot across the street so you don t have to worry about street parking. The food was so amazing (we had the bbq pizza and the smoked meat sandwich). The beer we got was delicious and the staff were so friendly. I have recommended this place to so many people already. Keep up the fantastic work!
Fantastic! Food and service was great. Recommend the light lager and shrimp tacos.
My wife and I were there yesterday for our 40th weekend anniversary,the staff went way above and beyond to take care of us,I ll definitely be a return customer
Awesome beer! Algho the lime doesnt taste very good way to limey with no taste of beer! Tone down the lime by 40 prcnt.
First time going tonight . Very delicious dinners and patio experience. Very helpful and friendly staff and live music was enjoyable as well. We will definitely be back
We shared a Mushroom Pizza, along with a Smoked Meat Sandwich, which was a brisket, OUTSTANDING! Citrus cream sauce with the pizza was amazing and the spicy mustard aioli was a bonus on the brisket! Throw in a pint of KLB NEIPA and the service from Jeff, the experience couldnt be better! Will definitely come back!
Late Sunday dinner at this restaurant was a very smart decision. Beers were unique, dishes were pleasing, and atmosphere was enjoyable. I will have to go back at least many times to try all beers available!
This was a big surprise for us. We were looking for a patio that allow dogs. Not only does their lower patio allow dogs, but the server brought out a water bowl for our pup as well as water for us. The food was fantastic. Our son got the kids cheese pizza, which was a very generous size. My husband and daughter got the burger, and they said it was one of the best burgers they ve had in a while. I got the shrimp tacos and a side beet garden salad. This was delicious! Because it is also a brewery, their beer selection was wide and varied. We got their beer that gives back to a local animal shelter. I would highly recommend this place!
The Fattoush salad is so delicious! Enjoyed the patio as the sun set, great service as usual! Watermelon mojito beer is definitely worth trying!
The restaurant is good. But the beer is awful. Its way too expensive for what it is... Doesnt taste good... But pay the premium for it if you like getting the runs and a hangiver after 2 or 3 cans
amazing place! phenomenal food, great atmosphere!
Great selection of quality craft beer brewed right at the Publican House. I love the Irish ale. They also have other craft beer. Wonderful food and the staff is helpful, friendly and not overbearing.
Great steak sandwich! And great service as always
Its a dog eat dog world, and it gets darn well catty out there too. Our four footed family members come upon hard times, especially these days with economic strife. Imagine, if you will, finacial problems beset you and your family... The Peterborough Humane Society sees the heart ache and heart break that becomes pet homelessness. Publican House, purveyors of fine brews, and the PHS teamed up with the Our Pet Project. Now YOU can enjoy a crisp and clean authentic German style Pilsner all the while supporting the campaign to build the NEW Peterborough Animal Care Center, and help pets and people within the Peterborough community Well worth the price, this amazing brew begs your taste buds. And you will be helping your fur buds!! I am hooked on this brew, and hope it makes its way down these parts. Next time you are giving Fido some pets, or your cat some top of the head scritches, remember, they count on YOU for love, affection and attention. Some pets dont have that luxury. And, if something happens yo your pet, the PHS needs the equipment to save your pet, or be able to help abandoned and strays. Youll be giving to an amazing cause, and getting an equally amazing brew. Need I say more? Our Pet Pilsner... a beer that keeps on giving. Cheers!
You gotta eat here. We did! We drive up to Peterborough on a regular basis to enjoy this great brew pub. What delicious food and tasty beer and friendly service! And reasonable prices. One time we had the weekend special: a lamb and chickpea vindaloo in a medium spicy Indian curry sauce. Delicious! This time we had pizzas. Tasty! This pub has a large selection of very good ales; enough to please every palate. My favourite is the Square Nail Pale Ale. And yes, after dinner I bought some from their store next door to take home and enjoy. It was indeed worth the drive!
Great food and great atmosphere! The staff are so helpful with food and beverage suggestions!
Love coming here!! Group of 10 and dinners all came out together and hot!! Drinks were always full and staff were fantastic!! We will be back!!!
Stopped on the way back from camping. Was amazing food. Fast friend service. Best shrimp tacos.
As a resident of Peterborough, this is my go-to restaurant. The beer and service are great, and the food is consistently delicious. The only problem is that I cant make up my mind about what to eat because my top favourites are all so good! The fish and chips are the best in town, the smash burger is dripping with flavour, and the steak and Brussels sprouts are amazing. Last night I had the beet and goat salad, which was also delicious.
Their take on a chicken club was awesome. The server was perfect and the beers great.
Great food, great service. Was unfortunately sold out of flights when we arrived but every beer was a great choice! Looking forward to making this a stop again the next time Im passing through!
Service was quick fast and friendly. The staff had wide knowledge of the establishment and the food was crisp with every crunch
Best pizza its hidden gem of pete
Food is overpriced and not that good... dont go in for the food... ambience is ok...
Disappointing Sunday brunch, but a lovely patio! Once seated we learned there was a very limited brunch menu (two breakfast options, pizza and poutine!?!), despite their being open for brunch. For all the great reviews and ratings we were all set for hospitable service and food cooked by someone who cared. Instead we got a somewhat standoffish waitress, a teeny tiny chicken piece inside the Back Door Club sandwich (my 88 yr old Oma thought it was small), and don t even bother with the ice cream cookie sandwich it s totally rock-hard frozen, cookies and all. To their credit the mushroom wood-fired pizza was excellent and the service from the lady who brought our drinks was far more friendly.
First time visit to the restaurant last night and wasn t disappointed. Plenty of great beer and drink options. Recommend the raspberry wheat, which has an awesome subtle flavour. The grilled calamari is fantastic. Entrees portions were large and food was superb. Fish and chips, P-Hac and MBS burgers all well presented and tasty. Apparently some menu changes coming October 1, so will be going back for more beer and food tasting. Suggest calling or making reservations online.
Disappointed in the changed Mac and Cheese recipe! It used to be a very homey recipe but now its more like a college style meal. Too bad cause it was my and my familys favorite, we dont go much anymore now.
We had a wonderful lunch with friends. The hostess Bailey was a friendly greeter and very accommodating with our request for a specific table type. Our waiter Josh was knowledgeable, personable and the service was fast and efficient. All four of us loved our meals - delicious!
So glad we went here! Beer was delicious-flavours match their descriptions very well! Enjoyed the beer so much we went to the brewery store next door to buy some. Staff was excellent! I felt welcome from from when I opened the door to when I left! Had a red coconut Thai curry with homemade flatbread and a flight of beer. You won t be disappointed!
Great Kolosh beer and awesome wood stove pizzas
Always excellent service and atmosphere. Delicious food and an amazing beer selection.
Excellent experience! Dinner was delicious and our server was friendly and helpful! Well be back!
Top notch service, food and beers! We sat on the patio in the sun. Our lunch was quick and absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the back door chicken sandwich with Fatoosh salad. Server was upbeat, responsive and lovely! Cant wait to go back.
Great pub, great food and even better service! I was visiting from out of town, and stopped for a bite along with my service dog . Staff were extremely welcoming and treated Sierra as though she was a legit customer. She enjoyed her bucket of ice water while I sampled some craft beer and excellent pub fare. Looking forward to coming back to the area in 3 weeks and will certainly stop by for a frosty pint!! Cheers
Wow! Spectacular service, delicious food and outstanding drinks! This place is now on high rotation for our family. Thanks for a great evening celebrating my sons 24th birthday. Highly recommend this gem!
I would give it a five-star first time I ever been there it was excellent
Love the beer. Wonderful brewery and pub. We are lucky to have them.
