The Snug Pub in Victoria

Absolutely loved the house salad and views. Beautiful ambience and view of the ocean!

I had the crab cakes and salad. The crab cakes were about 90% bread crumbs with a little bit of crab. Not what I would have expected from this Hotel. The cost was $26 for two small crab cakes and a wee salad. I was shocked to see the hamburger on the menu was $36. I think this place is way overrated.

I wont order the mussels again. What the broth lacked in flavour, it made up in jagged shards of shell.

Sitting in the patio is a great choice!

Nachos r the best I ever had. Very unique. Friendly service. Burger super good.

Amazing view . So relaxing and good food

Amazing view from the outdoor patio. The menu had a good variety of choices and everyone found their food to be delicious. We were indeed quite snug sitting outside and watching the scenery as we ate and visited. Highly recommend.

After being shown to a seat and ignored for 20 minutes with zero service to me or any of the other hungry/thirsty patrons around me, I left with nothing. Waste of half an hour of my life

One of our favourite places in Victoria to grab a beer and enjoy good food. The burgers are always good, but as I m trying to eat less meat, I tried the vegan kale curry steak and it was delicious Food

Baked brie

Absolutely wonderful place! We liked our experience so much we went back for a second night. Our server Lauren did a fabulous job, the food was absolutely amazing - fresh and such quick service. Make sure you sit outside, the views from the patio are stunning.

Enjoyed a high end meal in perfect surroundings with an ocean view. Parking: Doorman provided a free pass to the underground parkade. Food : 5/5 |

Had an amazing time with my wife. Nice place to have a bite and a drink while staying at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel.

Its a somewhat limited menu, but it has great tasting food. Try to get a window table. Parking: You have to get a pass card at the concierge.

Incredible pub food! Truffle fries were literally addictive.

Food was just okay.

This is a great restaurant with a sea view. However, it is not a great restaurant that you would visit if you are not a guest. Unfortunately, access to the sea-side terrace was restricted. The food is also average. A hamburger is just a hamburger, and the grilled salmon is also ordinary. The most disappointing thing is that I ordered a cola, but the cola tasted like a swimming pool, and it smelled like chlorine (Cl) to the point that I suspected it was just tap water mixed with syrup, so I couldnt take a sip. Vehicles must be parked underground, and a guest card key is required. If you tell the doorman in front of the lobby that you want to use the restaurant, he will kindly give you your card key. However... for some reason, the card key was not recognized, so I was able to get in thanks to the car coming out. The nice building and old-fashioned interior were impressive, but the food was a bit... It was disappointing

Good

Honestly for the price and location, the food is very meh. My over-easy eggs were hard. Chai tea was lukewarm. Just meh, you know?

We went for breakfast here. A great alternative to a noisy diner... and that view! Parking: Free parking in the underground car park if youre coming for a meal. Just pull up to the front doors and the Valet will provide you with a fob for entry.

This is an expensive place to eat so you expect great food and service. The clam chowder used to be awesome a few years ago. Recently it has deteriorated to very ordinary! Lots of potatoes and filler, not much seafood! Get it together folks!

Such a beautiful location....sad the menu is weak for such an amazing place. Hope they make some changes.

I used to go to the old Snug in the old hotel. The new one isnt as cozy but its still nice. The food was great but the service was slow. It took a while to get drinks and quite a while to get food but fortunately the quality was top notch.

Food was good, fries unexpectedly salty but not too much so. The service was what really made this place great, we had a waitress who was on her second day of the job and she was excellent! Very polite and professional. They accommodate for food allergies and were very attentive to requests from our table. The card machine had issues when we were paying and the waitress handled it very well and helped us figure it out.

Amazing food, fantastic service. Went above and beyond to ensure our meal and drinks were perfect.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or drinks.... you cant go wrong with a visit to The Snug!

View is amazing!!

Absolutely amazing food and views! Cant wait to visit them again when Im on the island!

Nice pub!

Great view

Great food and service

It s a bit out of the way unless you re staying at the hotel but this pub offers some of the best ocean views you ll find in Victoria. I ve dined her a handful of times now and always been pleased with the service and quality of the food. Like most of the fancier pubs in town you can expect to pay a fairly high price for both food and drinks but honestly the views are such a treat it s still more than worth it in my opinion. They also have a good happy hour between 3 and 5 on weekdays.

Incredible service food is great.

Ive only been for cocktails and dessert but I loved the hot ember cocktail.

Come for the view and comfortable upscale facilities, but stay For the amazing food and great service!

Excellent food and presentation, well-trained and friendly service.

Ive been here three times in the last couple of weeks. The view is definitely amazing, depending where you sit. I feel like the food lets you down a little bit considering its a higher end hotel. Drinks with way too much ice in them, warmish food that should have been hot and all very pricey for the quality. Pretty good service though so thats always a huge plus. Maybe my fourth time there will be all that someone hopes for in this kind of establishment

Great service, great food and lovely setting.

What a great place and atmosphere! The menu has just the right amount of options. The food is excellent and the staff are even better!

cocktails were very disappointing. id recommend choosing wine or beer. the menu is quite limited and there arent many reasonably priced dairy free options. would expect more from an establishment attached to such a high end hotel

Prices dont match Pub. Service bad, food decent, drinks creative. Price/service make it a no. FARO pizza much better between two offerings in the building.

Fantastic food!! Service was amazing as well, cant wait to go back. Mussels were 10/10!!

Great food and atmosphere. The service was awesome .

Chose the snug pub for my daughters birthday. Food was good but the service was exceptional! Henrys knowledge, suggestions, and humor made for an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back.

Food and setting were ok. Service lacking though.

Great place for cocktails and views.

Great drinks,staff and views

The food, menu, and service were amazing. Considering that they brag about the view, the windows were disappointingly horrendously dirty.

Excellent pub. Menu had a great variety. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Food was really delicious. View is fantastic. Highly recommended for a meal or a drink. Would absolutely eat there again.

Amazing ocean views...good selection of beer..yum truffle fries

Nice view. A bit pricey for what youre getting.

Great place to have a drink on the patio overlooking the ocean and islands

I ve been hear a few times over the years when staying in the hotel. My most recent meals (1 breakfast and 1 dinner) were really disappointing, especially considering the cost. The food was nothing special at all. I also found the menu options too limited. Service was great, the view is spectacular, and I love the ambiance. Maybe they will revamp the menu and review their pricing (currently $18 for a bowl of soup!). Until then, I ll likely come here only for drinks and eat elsewhere.

Food was good. Atmosphere was great Service was amazing

I love coming here. They have great service and an elegant atmosphere. Just wish they had more options for plant based diets.

Very disappointed with service! I reside in Victoria. Had guests from another province. Thought dinner at the OBBH would be nice. Second time visiting The Snug Pub within two weeks. Both times ordered $55 steak. Both times steak was over cooked. Both times brought it to the attention of my server -- showed her last night and she agreed --- and expressed that I was not expecting a free meal. Last night, server offered me complimentary dessert however the offer was only extended to me and not my guest. That moment spoiled an otherwise enjoyable dinner. I declined the dessert. Spoke with the Manager who was apologetic. Unfortunately, there was no way to save the dinner. In hindsight, the gratuity I left was too much. Had the server either offered dessert to both me and my guest or not offered it at all -- as I mentioned -- then the dinner would have been saved. Servers snarky dismissive attitude was unbecoming to the reputation of OBBH. Typically, I leave 5 star reviews. I dont write reviews. However, this server spoiled the ambiance of what otherwise, should been a pleasant dinner. I paid over $200.00 and left feeling annoyed.

Good food ,friendly staff. Parking: Have to ask about parking, its underground, we didnt know about it , so we parked on the street. Food : 4/5 |

Their eggs benedict was the best Ive ever had! I dont think Ive ever had eggs benedict where there were two poached eggs!

The view. The staff. The drinks. Thats all I can say about this little gem of a place I found down the street.

Lovely staff and really good food. The view to the ocean its an special extra.

Beautiful views of the water from a light-filled room. Lovely service, nice selection of craft beers on tap. The chowder was absolutely delicious, accompanied by tender rosemary focaccia. The chicken club was a bit plain, but the chicken was tender.

Great food and drinks.

Servers are amazing. Food is good. Espresso martini is baller! But , thinking about accessibility and the space aint amazing for that. Not designed for people with mobility issues or who are hefty like me .

Our server was excellent, the view was nice, and the food presentation was great. A little pricey for pub food, I had the chowder, it was full of celery which I didnt like, but my wife and son enjoyed their meals.

Pretty pricey for what you get

Wonderful meal, wonderful service looking out over the ocean. What could be better!

We came in and had a late night drink in April. What I ordered was a red sangria which was not on their menu at all. The bartender offered to make it anyway, to my surprise. This man made a drink that was PERFECTLY balanced in every sense it was hands down the best one I have ever had. I had to tell him this of course, in which he stated that he doesn t drink him self and thought that this would be a perfect combination. I have no idea how he made a drink so phenomenal when he doesn t know how they would pair personally. But, I am certainly glad he tried! He is a true master of his craft. You sir deserve a raise!

Great views. Food is ok. House liquors are surprisingly average, but drinks are good. Well go back for the view.

Very elegant hotel ambience, spacious lounge, pub and restaurant atmosphere as well as a beautiful outdoor area with a sea view. This time we just enjoyed a coffee and the view. Very friendly service and excellent coffee quality. Next time we will stay in the hotel!

Good place e

Good enough that we came two days in a row! Excellent seafood chowder and nachos, fantastic service, and a beautiful view. Well be back!

Lovely place to stop for lunch. Food is good, as is service and view fantastic. Enjoyed late brunch. Lovely eggs Bennie and a burger with next level fries.

Fantastic place!

Sitting on the patio and looking out to the water . . . What more could you ask for. Food

Beautiful out on the deck watching the ocean activity and pool. Some seats are close to heater for those chilly. We had a novice waitress, lovely but felt unattended. Hubby wanted a second drink, had the menu out and never asked. Chowder was supreme, tons of seafood, great flavor. Calamari Supreme, cooked perfect, nice salsa and dip. Plowmans plate was a disappointment and Ive had it before. On a plate, 2 cheeses, 2 meats the salami was off. Pate had very little flavor. Served with 2 huge chunks of bread that could easily be 3 slices each! Asked for crackers or bread to be sliced in 3 and received it cut once, 10 minutes later. Considering we ordered chowder that came with bread, the plowmans should have had Melba, or something to dispurse the charcuterie on. Used to have a scotch egg and at least 3 cheeses. Disappointed. Expected a 5/5, we left feeling a bit disappointed considering the cost. Parking: Tight spots Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator to the lobby

This is the place you come to unwind and relax; they really make you feel like you to deserve to be here! The customer service here is second to none, they cater to your every need. The food and drink offerings from Faro and The Snug are top notch to where you dont even have to leave if you want to keep to the property for you entire stay. Congrats to Oak Bay Beach Resort staff for our amazing honeymoon stay, hopefully well be back yearly for our anniversary. Thank you

Impeccable service! Great views of the ocean. Quiet, nice decor. The steak was very delicious!

Beautiful view from the deck out over the water

The Mac and cheese is delicious. Their Margaritas were perfect. I will definitely eat their again. Food

We sat on the patio for dinner during our stay at the oak bay beach hotel and the views were impressive. We got the spicy nachos -which were not spicy at all and the clam chowder which was delicious! We got to watch the sunset and the moon rise all from our table on the patio. Beautiful view of the bay and you could even see mount baker! Would recommend!

Great

We love Riley, she was such an amazing server. We will come back just for Riley!

Riley was so awesome! So friendly and totally matched the vibe of our giant girl group! 10s, 10s, 10s across the board!

Riley 4 ever

Riley is the cutest darn server. We loved having her. Super accomodating and great with our group. Serve and WERK girl

We loved Riley!!! She was the BEST server!!! Place was great, but Riley was better.

Outstanding service with a side of love at The Snug Pub, thanks to Riley. A must-visit for a warm, cute and welcoming experience.

When you walk into the dim lit room, you expect dim service. Not with Riley! We STAN

Riley deserves a raise. Her welcoming personality, and fantastic service is more than enough for me to drive 2 hours down island. We need more people like Riley in this world!!!

I love Cher & Riley

Very comfortable get away with a good selection if food and drink. I highly recommend the chowder.

our server was fantastic, she was happy, attentive and fast, explained the specials and always checked on us and our table. the service with a smile was spectacular, the drinks are strong, the food is great and the staff is marvelous.

Great place to relax have a beer drink never ate there but food looks good

Cute and convenient spot to visit while staying at the resort. No complaints and would gladly go back!

A lovely pub with a great view! The bartender makes amazing cocktails that I recommend!

Delicious food. A good selection of craft beer. Beautiful ocean views. Tried the Chowder today. Amazing!

Beautiful hotel and great view of the whitecaps. Food and service was great!

Very limited food selection, but it is good quality. Drinks are steeply priced, but then you do get top notch service and ambience!

We went for a quick bite at the snug pub, we opted for truffle fries and drinks. The portions were sufficient for two, and the beverages were enjoyable. The server was friendly and pleasant.

The view and ambience is amazing and keeps us returning. The food isnt always great. I love the mussels but todays todays poke was only adequate

The seafood chowder was excellent!!

We knew in advance that the prices would not translate to quality however it was still shocking. The hotel is nice, although again with close to $400 a night for a room overlooking the carpark they still ding customers for a overnight parking spot. Anyway back to the food, average would be a fair assessment. The staff are wonderful and friendly.

Decent hamburger and friendly service, absolutely zero charm or atmosphere....like sitting in a White Spot, very drab

Very expensive. $70 for two appies and two beer. Good service. Food was ok

Exceptional service from Ilker last night. Best caesar ever! Keeps us coming back. Thank you Ilker :)

Excellent breakfast, service, and views! Especially recommend the back bacon and toast/preserves.

Had a really excellent experience at The Snug Pub. I didn t have high expectations for this pub within the hotel but it honestly delivered! I had the chicken and risotto main course. Chicken was tender, nicely seared. All the flavours were comforting and spot on. Service was friendly and genuine. The views are beautiful from the restaurant during the day but dark in the evening so you can t see the ocean at that point. Cocktails also exceeded expectations. Appreciate the use of local distilleries. Thanks for the lovely meal and drinks, will be back!

Good food and atmosphere but premium prices for a pub.

The pub is a great place to enjoy ocean views while enjoying a drink or two with friends. Recommend trying their gourmet nachos for a very different nacho experience.

Excellent Cobb salad.

Very nice and very expensive. Next time I will sit on the patio where the view will justify the cost.

Nice, clean bit nothing beyond a regular pub menu.

Great food! The maple bacon wings are to die for!

The muscles where really good, the fish and chips not as good. 6 people and they were quite happy to split the bill to the 3 couples

Tuesday morning empty. Very impersonal service. Paid in cash. Was chased through the parking lot, by our server, about paying a bill that had been payed. Not only that, for thr seond time in recent history the food was litterally inedible. Iv been a regular at the snug and the hotel for years. Its the best for a stay cation. The food and the food service needs to be completely overhauled. I am not usually one for a negative comment. But I miss the food quality and service of years passed.

Had such a great meal here. The wine was great also. Highly recomended, tje staff were so friendly.

Beautiful pub,fantastic service,great food and drinks. Stunning views also

Understaffed, maybe sign of the times.

Friendly staff, amazing cocktails.

Nice place, food was great. A little loud and certain hours. Good experience.

Amazing staff

Great service

We had a good time and the food was good...good waitress too

Its got amazing veggie burger . Its one of the oldest nierbourhood pubs and has a nice views . Yup they got outside patio with heaters

The atmosphere here is really lovely and the staff are wonderful. Very friendly, attentive, and efficient. I have been here 4 times and have yet to have a decent meal. The food is pricey, even by Victorias standards and much higher than most pubs. I wouldnt mind, but the food is always mediocre at best. $21 for Gochujang chicken that was basically an appetizer and literally had nothing with it. No greens, no sides, nothing. It tasted ok, but nothing earth shattering, which would warrant the hefty price. My friends had the burger and the fish and chips. Both people who ordered the fish and chips said it was overcooked and bland and the fries were a bit under cooked. The burger was $26 and honestly looked like a slider. Tiniest burger on earth. He said it was tasty, if not a bit under seasoned, but on par with a fast food burger, just smaller. Unfortunately, I think this will be my last time here. Sad, because I very much like the setting and staff, but I cant continue paying $100 for a meal for two that makes me feel like I would have rather made a grilled cheese at home.

Love the view and service!

This was the most disappointing lunch Ive had there. Fish and chips: fish was soggy batter, cold chips and tasteless coleslaw. My friend had chicken club: bun stale, bacon cold and chicken chewy. Not going back.

Place is beautiful. Service is very nice but food was very mediocre. I would understand the price due to being in a hotel but was expecting the food to be a bit tastier.

Well.... here are the things we didnt like. The table and chairs were sticky There was a big long black hair in my burger The tempura burger is a beer battered oil smoked burger We liked the calamari

Amazing view, good service

I do not recommend the Snug - the menu selection is underwhelming and OVER priced - fries are cheaper at the Empress !! There aren t any specials at happy hour nor any affordable appetizers which are painfully boring . The menu and the prices need a major over haul . There are better places on the harbour to eat with a nicer atmosphere .

Had breakfast at the Snug this morning, we were blessed with an excellent server, Clinton. The food was great, but Clinton made everything better. Thanks Clinton!

Okay place to eat, nothing special..

Lovely experience and food was delicious.

Excellent food, view and service. The portions are smaller than you might expect.

Service was not good, felt ignored, had to go to the bar to refill my water glass. Waitress did not check in at all except when we requested the bill. What we ordered and what we received were two different things, weather it was our food order/meal or drink order.

Went for a late lunch today. It was not busy. Sat on the patio and was greeted right away by the server. We needed a few minutes to decide on the menu thinking she would return shortly. We waited 15-20 minutes and she never came back. We were starving and decided to leave. Did not see her on the way out. Will never come back.

Amazing view in Victoria BC. Good food, cold beer

Wow what a view! Table service was excellent. Food was tasty. Good selection of beverages.

What a wonderful lunch. Great view and our server was informative.

We stopped here for drinks on our bike ride around Victoria. Great service and great drinks, spectacular views of Mt. Baker over the water!

Great pub with a nice atmosphere. Special shout-out to Il, the friendly, bald bartender. He really does a great job

Great food, great view!

Excellent! Great food.

The kids food was priced to discourage families. Basically the same as adults. The $26 kids burger was almost inedible. It had pieces of full fat and chewy non-meat pieces. Was the worst burger Ive tasted in years and it was $26 when the adults is $29. My wings for $25 were burning hot in overly sweet sauce and breading. The location is amazing but wouldnt waste your time on the food. Have drinks and leave

Truly a great place for waterfront dining.

Nice view, good service, good food

Excellent service and food, great views too from the patio.

5 out of 5! I could not fault the Snug Pub on any front. My beer was cold and refreshing. My martini was classically dry and biting! My meal, served on the outside patio, was a delicious, filling, and well proportioned serving. The location affords astonishing views out over the water as the sun sets late during summer. And then there was the best part: the staff! I imagine it is rare that the waiting staff are asked to confirm in one meal both the hotel check-out time and the what time zone Ulaanbaatar is in. The staff at the Snug Pub took all of this in their stride without batting an eye! If I lived locally, The Snug Pub would be a regular on my dining roster. Next time I am in the area, I will be heading back.

Snug Pub is located inside the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. We stopped for a little dessert and cocktails after exploring Victoria. The hotel itself is gorgeous, with picturesque views of the water and mountains. If you get there after busy hours it s easier to walk in and snag a spot outside. The service was excellent! Ordered a creme brûlée to share, and a lemon drop and hot toddy. As the evening got cooler, they offered to turn the heat lamp on and brought out blankets. Next time, dinner.

Delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and an incredible view.

The food in restaurant is decent and tasting really good. Service here is very good and considerable. The staffs try to make you feel as at home . It helps us refreshed and recharged from long trip. Highly recommend!

Good food, good service, a real nice experience.

The staff is great,cold beer awesome

Very cool quaint English pub in a beautiful hotel. Our bartender, Isle, made our evening - great interesting guy! Food was up scale pub food - very tasty!

Was served a rotten salad raw chicken wife got sick poor service

Was served rotten food

Food was great but the service was terrible.

Did not meet my expectations ...prices high and food average and service not that great.

One of, if not our most favorite hotel to stay at! Love The Snug, especially when seated on the outdoor patio

Delicious food, great atmosphere.

Beautiful venue. Friendly staff. Had the chowder. (Clam shells in with the chowder just make it awkward). Lovely hotel.

Nolan was amazing lead server and he knew his product really well, very knowledgable, and very entertaining. The food was so amazing fresh and delicious and good quality!

A nice place to hang out, have a drink if you want to stay in the hotel.

We are locals and used to dine here often as the food was enjoyable, the sevice friendly and fun, and the beer and cider always fresh. However we stopped coming this year as the prices really jumped up and portions actually seemed to decline. I shouldnt leave hungry after a $36 seafood spaghetti. Good place for those with smaller appetites.

Great service, views and delicious lunch. Cobb salad and seafood chowder was very good.

My Cobb salad was beautiful and tasted great! Everyone else enjoyed their meals as well (chicken club, fish and chips, carbonara pasta). Im not sure how busy the pub side was but we were given a table in the room next door - it was a good spot since there were 7 of us.

The food sounds simple, but they all have a twist on your favourite pub classics. We went back for the mussels, nachos, and truffle fries twice during our stay. Everything was fully enjoyed.

Snug! Thats all we need to say! Excellent food and good selection of food and drinks.

Stayed at the hotel for two nights so I ended up dining here three times. I had great experiences each time, all team members I interacted with were very attentive including David, Damek, Lesley and Lee. (So sorry I didnt get everyones name!) I highly recommend the Gochujang glazed tofu donburi - I loved it so much that I had it twice! Thanks again!

Cozy atmosphere with great views, friendly staff and outstanding healthy food choices. We will definitely come back

Food was excellent, service was awesome and the ambience is perfect. It is a regular place for me.

Great location. Ho hum fish n chips.
