    The many wonderful staff who have come and gone, and the regulars who frequented The Bristol will be sorely missed and always remembered.

    Happy Beers elsewhere. Keep in touch.

  • Order: my last beer on Sunday

How awful for the staff who lost their jobs right before the expensive holiday season, especially the servers who will get next to nothing on EI. Finding a restaurant job in the January, the slowest time of the year, is not easy. Good luck guys!

  • If the owners would let the employees do their jobs, all would be well- the food is great and the bar service is great when the owners aren't working the bar. The outdoor patio is large and the people who go there wonderful- a real neighborhood bar feel. They need to stop changing their hours of business as it is very confusing for the patrons. The atmosphere would be awesome if it weren't for the way staff are treated in front of customers

  • Order: chicken caesar wrap w/mashed potatoes

  • The homemade soups and specials are fabulous! I have been going 3-4 times a week for many years and love this place. It has the feel of a neighbourhood pub and eatery, very relaxed atmosphere. Clean and well-attended. Since the lunch specials are always $5.99 to $6.99 and include a soup or salad starter plus the main course, I have found this to be a wonderful place to go. The cabbage rolls are homemade and huge- you get 2 plus a side of fries or mashed. Their portions are always generous whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner. I'll continue to lunch there!

  • Order: lunch special $6.99. Homemade soup starter, 2 large homemade cabbage rolls, mashed potatoes

Asked who the lady sitting beside me what about the grey haired guy behind the bar , she replied , that'sd the owner , waited another 10 minutes then finally asked him if I could order a drink .. he looked at me and said sure .. what do you want ... I mean really folks .. the Karaoke there is very very good , but don't feel bad about bringing your own drinks to this guy's party :) ... only wish I could say I made this up :)
