It’s a great little place around Sheppard and Midland. This place give you the European feels and its a place to be if you want to watch some good soccer matches! The owner Steve is a wonderful gentleman as well! Definite going here for all the upcoming soccer games.

I had an incredible time at this pub! The live music was absolutely fantastic, creating the perfect atmosphere for a fun and relaxing night out. The band was talented, playing a great mix of classics and current hits that had everyone tapping their feet. The sound quality was on point, loud enough to enjoy but still allowing for conversation. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure our drinks were never empty and offering great recommendations from their impressive selection of beers and cocktails. The food was also a highlight—delicious and well-prepared, perfect for pairing with a cold pint. Whether you're looking to unwind after a long day or catch up with friends over some great tunes, this pub is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Not sure if your kitchen staff is lazy or incompetent. When someone says NO CHEESE PLEASE, I CAN NOT HAVE IT!!!!! That means NO CHEESE!!!!! As you can see here, LOTS of cheese. Smarten up! cost of everything so high and you have me throwing out my lunch! I wont be back for sure!

First time there and really enjoyed it. It is a pub like you would find in England. They have a lot of beers on tap. Mixed crowd watching a Leafs afternoon game (they beat St Louis), old Cantonese guys drinking pitchers and playing cards, as well as a Cliff Clavin type loud-talking at the bar 20 feet away but you hear him clear as a bell -- all add to the ambiance. We had the Fish on a Bun with sweet potato fries and the Empress of India Chicken Curry. Both were delicious. The vegetables were fresh and tasty. Lots of parking. Our server was friendly and efficient considering it was pretty busy. We'll be back!

Addicted to the amazing food coming out of this pubs kitchen. Hands down one of my favourite places to eat, great pub food but also tons of other amazing dishes, homemade but with love. Love the atmosphere and the patio in the summer is awesome! If looking for a place to grab a drink with amazing food don’t even think twice, be warned u might get addicted too.

Queen Victoria Pub is a hidden gem in Scarborough. It can be easily missed, however it is quite the popular place Friday nights with live dj and mature crowd. There is Plenty of parking, indoor and outdoor seating. Food wise they've got a great selection of pub fare and beers on tap! Service was very friendly and efficient. Prices are reasonable.

This is one of our favorite places to eat, unfortunately with a lack of child care now we have not been able to visit. I'm sure people bring kids but for us though it seems more of an adult place to be. The food is consistently good however unlike most pubs the fries are not hand cut If you're coming for fries, don't. ( though I encourage you to try the chili fries) They invest their care into the hand made main dishes, and traditional pub meals. Try the shepherds pie, you will not be disappointed. . We will back on our first available date night ! We've also considered having our engagement party here.

Went to a party there. Food was late, waitress came for my drinks 2 hrs in. Bartender made watery hot chocolate and said that is how it comes. Instant hot chocolate only half fills a mug fyi. Too much water. Due to party understandable waitress was busy. Live dj. Cda won soccer match against ven. Vegetarian options: Fries, onion rings, nachos.. Maybe pasta

Great experience! Came here with a large party! We made a reservation, accidentally on jazz night, but they were able to accommodate our group and seat us outside.

This is a nice bar during the day but at night the patrons are awful people who will threaten and harass you and the staff does nothing about it cause it s regulars. I ve been told twice to go away cause they want my seat. In fact I was told to evict a seat and they gave me another and then I was told again to move. It was a regular named Claire it was her birthday. Not only did she harass me she had her friends harass me as well. They thru stuff at me and even threatened me physically Kid-friendliness: I wouldn t take children here, the customers are vulgar at times.

★★
March 22, 2024

Not recommended, avoid this place. Literally the same experience as the last poster. Was just there tonight having a couple drinks, around 9pm a crowd comes in for some birthday party and gives us dirty looks because apparently were sitting in their seat...even though we had been there for an hour, sitting on seats which were given to us... Starting bumping our seats for no reason till we left. No complaints for the servers or the food, but some of your clientele are garbage.

This pub is a gem and full of life for those who want a place to get feel good vibes and a fun atmosphere! I went on a friday night and they had a live dj playing all sorts of music from country to latin to some soft rock, but what made it even more enjoyable was the patrons who got up and danced the night away. The food was actually amazing and the staff was friendly. I would have given a full 5 stars, but the volume of the dj music was a bit too loud for my liking, which made it difficult to talk over. All in all, its a great place to take friends to let loose! The more the merrier! Cheers

Great place for older folks. Didnt see teenagers or too many young adults. Seems most of the patrons are regulars and seems lots of Caribbean people. There was live music the Friday night I stopped by and the fish and chips was on special. Planning to check out the wings next time as those seem to be a hit.

Did some Googling and found this place had highly rated meat pies. What a mistake. What they call meat pies were in actual fact, a bowl of beef stew with a puff pastry sitting on top! To be fair, the beef stew did taste ok and the puff pastry was fine, but meat pies they were not. The meat pie did come with sides of peas and mashed potatoes which were both ok. We also ordered the baby back rib special which we found a bit more enjoyable.

I have been there twice few years ago and it was fine. But my boyfriend and went there recently for lunch and it was terrible. There was one server and she went to her regular first , there was like 6 people beside us there. We waited for the menu for a long time, then waited for the food for long time. It was absolutely horrible. I ordered a poutine, it was nasty. My boyfriend got the pregogies and it was blah ....not worth the money. Definitely wouldnt recommend this place for lunch or anything .

This place is awesome. Great service and good food. The reason I give this place a 3 star is the smoking. We were on the open patio and a couple of people were smoking at their table which was very unpleasant to non-smokers. There was an older man walking around; not sure if he is the owner but he was sitting with the smokers. I want to move to another table but they were reserved or in the sun. The waitress said no one should be smoking on the patio. Otherwise I really enjoyed this restaurant. Will definitely go back but will choose to sit inside.

A great place to go for traditional pub food and drinks. A huge on tap beer selection, top shelf liquor and some of the best staff in the city. They have an amazing menu with chef made daily special selections. You cant go wrong with anything on the menu. Order the club salad, its my favorite (although not in the menu). Very accommodating to special requests. Lucy, Mariya, Victoria, Alex, Stephanie and Giovanna are all top notch servers (I have my favs) and Steve and Violet are excellent hosts. DJs and dancing on most Friday nights and Live music can be found on certain nights. The crowd that visits is mature and respectful. Mostly a 30+ crowd. A must visit if you like good food and a +++ atmosphere.
