8571 Bothwell Rd, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 9B6, Canada
Spectacular Lake views with an atmosphere to match, great pub food, awesome beers on tap, tasty cocktails. Try the 'Bomber Burger' or the 'Pulled Duck Poutine'. Instagram worthy sunsets and friendly staff make this place a must visit. Newly renovated in 2019.
It's so nice to have a spot to enjoy a delicious burger, a cold drink with a spectacular view of the lake. Fernando the bartender was very accomodating they even had a DJ on the patio. It's a summer must.
We just had our semi annual staff dinner at the Fish and Duck, honestly I can’t say enough about what a fantastic experience it was! The food is fantastic, atmosphere is great, wait staff are friendly and efficient. We’ll absolutely be booking here again - thank you fish and duck from the crew at Alberni Electric!
Had the bowl that was gluten free and it was delicious! Good quality and good service. Very much enjoyed the dj and the atmosphere here and they also had burger option for gluten free as well. Told them I had an allergy and I had no issues.
Wow! First time ever visiting this little gem of a place, tucked away off the make k highway to Sproat lake, charming, great food and wonderful service.
Quiet and casual, nice view. Looking across the lake at the Martin Mars water bomber while enjoying a 'Bomber Burger' lol, delicious. Dessert was great as was the locally brewed ale.
Our first time here since the new ownership and we were really happy. Good local beers on tap now, and the food was some of the best we’ve had in Port Alberni. From the healthy options (Buddha Bowl, Quinoa & Kale salad) to the bomber burger, everything was very tasty and hand crafted, including the burger patty. Plus it’s hard to beat the patio views. High five to the new owners! We are building a house up the road and can’t wait to call this our “local”.
Absolutely love this place. Newly renovated and under new management. Food is delicious and local beer on tap is spot on. Best view in Port Alberni!
A bit out of the way, nice patio overlooking the lake. Mars bombers are located on the lake. Food looked good but I did not try. House boats right there. July 2021. Still a great place. Had an awesome lunch. Looks Ike a recent reno.
Place was a little unkeep especially the patio
Amazing spot! Fish was perfect
Yummy Nachos and Onion Rings!
Fantastic spot!
Great location, great view but desperately needs a face lift inside and out! Service was good. Service
Ok service but menu lacking options and although they renovated inside a little, the patio is in rough shape. Has been for years.
Great staff and beautiful view from patio, the bushwackers were so good.
Beautiful location on the lake, great food and perfect atmosphere for a meal out. Also learned that the Fish & Duck rent out houseboats and other boats/ kayaks for great prices. Will definitely be returning!
Unmatched, captivating viewscape from the patio deck...snow-capped mountain views, gorgeous lake views, deep green forests, plus marina and boater activity...arrive by paddleboard, kayak, canoe, power or sale (or vehicle, bike, or ebikes) and enjoy craft brews along with your meal and the views...
Great spot to eat on the way to Tofino and the food was very good. Great views from the patio looking across the lake to the Martin Mars Bomber base. Was even able to get a sugar free margarita.
Gorgeous view, delicious foods and great staff. Really enjoyed our brunch here.
Very quaint place to eat. On the balcony, you can see the Mars water bomber.
Service was bad, wasnt even offered a glass of water, and the fish, in the fish and chips, was doughy, under cooked. Wanted my mac bites to be an appetizer, but both came within a couple of minutes of each other. Even informed the server. In short, will not return, wouldnt recommend
I absolutely love this place! It s so nice to come to after a day on the lake! The service is always great and the food is amazing. Such a great spot! Definitely recommend !
Minimal effort put in your expensive food menu. dissappointing.
Neat little hidden gem. Greatly enjoyed the lake views, food, the drinks and the people working there. Very welcoming atmosphere
I had the privilege to dine here twice in the past week. Beautiful views along with the friendly, accommodating staff made each visit pleasant and definitely worth repeating! The food was great and I highly recommend the potato skins and grilled Cali burger.
Fantastic place! Great food, views and amazing service, the Fish and Duck has been the highlight of our trip to Vancouver Island. Highly recommended.
First and last time visiting. Ordered chicken wings, nachos and 2 piece fish and chips. Chicken wings were decent. Nachos were soggy and missing ingredients - terribly plated. Fish meat was good, batter was burnt and inedible. Environment didn t feel clean, windows were rotten with many dead bugs and dirt buildup. Drinks were cold lol, that s a plus. Servers were also nice and polite. Manager was nice enough to chat with us before we left. Super disappointed as we were so excited to try this place for the first time
Drinks were great.
O... M... G. Got to bring my cousins in from out of town, and Fernando made it a real night to remember. Thanks so much =)
Great service and wonderful atmosphere... the view from the deck is incredible...
I found the tables we ate on were dirty. The food was expensive and not nearly as good as what it used to be when Wayne cooked there. Definitely miss the wedge fries. I did not like the guacamole Indian spices on my chicken Burger. Food
Parking: A nice place, good food and coffee, very nice view on the lake, friendly personal, good service Ability to rent boat or kayak in the docking station below the bar. Food : 5/5
Was told my non-alcoholic beer was boring . The bill said virgin drinks . Terrible service, food was overpriced and very bland.
First time at the Pub even though we live in town. Enjoyed the food and view. Good way to spend a few hours. Enjoyed the wings and the duck poutine.
The patio has such an amazing view of Sproat Lake, you can even see the Mars Bomber! Atmosphere, food, and service were great and not over the top. Great place to come on a nice Summer day.
Houseboats, Burgers and Beer? Yes please, I go every year from Vancouver, its worth the trip
Best place on the best lake in the world. Good job on always providing the best service!
Drinks and food was very good. Fish and chips were very tasty so the chicken Caesars were very good
Fish and duck slaps
Friendly service, good food, amazing sunset!
Great Pub and location
Wheelchair accessibility: Not wheelchair accessible. Parking is limited. View is interesting. Food
Fish and Duck Pub is the biggest hidden jewel on Vancouver Island. Newly renovated, this place has a wicked atmosphere/service and unparalleled views over looking the lake. Whether youre sitting on the patio or inside the music and atmosphere is always a great vibe. The staff are super friendly and owners are willing to bend over backwards for anyone who comes out. The food is absolutely outstanding as well. Lastly, this place is attached to a multitude of different airbnb opportunities, houseboat rentals and a dock so you can come visit directly from the water! 15/10 would recommend!
Five of us went for dinner and drinks on Friday night and the food, drinks and service were on point! While sitting on the outdoor patio you get a wonderful view of the water. Halibut and chips were tasty. Highly recommend.
Great service, fabulous food and views for days.
Great spot to stop on the lake!
So much fun! Great food. Great atmosphere. Great wait staff
I am giving this one star because the place doesn t bother to keep its opening hours up to date. We travelled out of our way to visit the pub on a Tuesday. Their Facebook page said they were open but a man we spoke to at the dock said they ve been closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays for awhile. Not sure why they can t take a moment to update their hours. Also would be nice if they used more social media than Facebook since lots of people don t use that platform.
Best fish and chips Ive ever had, well worth the wait and Ill be stopping by everytime we pass Port Albernie.
Staff was great. There is a lovely deck on top that overlooks the lake where you can enjoy the sunset. Food was just ok in our case. Will come back ^_^
Rented a kayak and paddleboard from Fish and Duck marina for a week. Great price, great service and they even delivered it to me on the lake!
We spent a warm evening on the deck overlooking beautiful Sproat Lake. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. The mood was upbeat and the friendly banter across the deck made us feel welcome. Im looking forward to our next visit.
What a beautiful place to go to have a few drinks and eat some food. The view is breathtaking and lovely to be close to the water.
Nice view of the lake when you re sitting out on the patio. The food was good and the staff was friendly. Wish they had a better variety of ciders though. Great place to stop in at when driving on the no. 4
Great place...fun staff and fantastic food..what more could you ask for ?! Hey did I mention the lake view?!
Great atmosphere, food, and service!
Amazing scenery, staff and food.
The food is to die for, great selection of local brews and spirits, and the staff are very friendly and serve very well.
Yummy food and drinks! Deck was awesome enjoying the sun! We had fish n chips and a summer Caesar salad with prawns. Excellent!
Great little restaurant on the lake. Limited menu weekdays before 4 pm. Everything was great. Service was excellent! Thanks for your extra care with my meal. Limited parking as well.
Great location, hard to beat looking out at Sproat Lake on the patio with a cold (local craft!) beer. Had the duck poutine. Marvelous. Docked one star as we were by ourselves on the patio and the hostess seated some loudmouth bros right beside us despite the rest of the patio being empty.
Great beer and tasty food.
Great Wit beer, good food, beautiful view, friendly atmosphere
Great fish and cold beer, would stop by again
We quite enjoyed the outdoor patio overlooking the marina, with a great selection of appies, beer and other treats.
Slow food. Low quality food. Nice view. Perhaps best for a few drinks. Staff was nice.
solid spot for a beer and a bite to eat on the lake. great service.
Good food...great service...beautiful place to land for lunch.
Great food as and great service.
Great views from the patio, and terrific, unusual food at reasonable prices. Staff are friendly and personable. Not very accessible for people with mobility issues; stairs are steep due to its location on a short cliff, and theres no place for a ramp.
Had an amazing weekend with an amazing group of friends on Labour Day Weekend on the Jalesa. Sproat Lake is one of my favourite spots, and I have been to ALOT of places. The owner was great to deal with and everything was just perfect. We rebooked for next year as soon as we got home and cant wait for a houseboating 2022. Tip: a foamy on top of the existing mattress made for a great sleep.
Great food beautiful view
