This is a great little pub. The service was excellent, the food was decent and there is a fantastic karaoke setup. The ample parking adjacent to the Trans-Canada highway makes this a great rest stop for travelers. There is also a well stocked convenience store right next door and a weed store nearby. With the gas station just a few meters away, this is a great stop for the weary traveler or a great destination for a local road trip.

Stopped in for a quick bite , such good service and even better food. The mild hot wings were full of meat and saucy. Just the way I love it . The cesar salad was the perfect amount of everything and even real bacon. The ceaser drink was delightful and of course enjoyed a cold beer. Very cute little pub and look forward to stopping by again. Thanks for the lovely lunch . No pics because I was too hungry

Stopped in for taco Tuesday on my drive to Calgary. The chicken tacos were fantastic, and a good size. Nice and filling, and only 15 for 3 of them. The server was also very friendly. Definitely stop by on your way through town.

Wow, the new management REALLY took this place to the next level!! Just stopped there today while driving through for work. The back patio was the perfect place to relax with a cold drink after a long day. The buffalo chicken wrap was absolutely delicious. Best of all, the staff were all awesome humans. Super friendly, hospitable and welcoming. 5/5 - would highly recommend!

My coworker and I ate lunch and it was awesome. I had the clubhouse and it had real turkey, real cheddar cheese and it was amazing. My coworker had the copper island burger and it was massive. All around a great lunch with great service. Thank you all it was much appreciated.

Been going here for years and have seen various owners squander this gem of a pub. Since Dawson has taken over, it's really become a great spot. Food is tasty! I was there yesterday and had the best order of salt and pepper wings I've had anywhere in a long time. I also love that they pour a proper pint of beer, and that they serve Coors banquet, which I don't see at too many places, and also serve good local beer too. Servers have always been personable and quick to make sure you are looked after. Developing the pool room area downstairs was a great idea, (especially in the winter) and having live music regularly is another plus. With all the pressures of the past few years with Covid, forest fires, staffing problems and bad economy, this little pub has survived and thrived in the community. As a fellow business owner, I really appreciate what it takes . Keep up the good work! Steve Allen
