Reviews of The Black Clover (Fish Shop)

My friend and I went there, in an attempt to try something other that CrossRoads, but, we ended up going back to CrossRoads. We waited for a few minutes at the door to wait for a table to be cleared and sanitized, which for me, works perfect, considering the current state of the world. It was a rather busy night, it was a Saturday. Most of the tables were occupied, the bartender seemed well experienced - the servers were not waiting for drinks for very long. The menu looked good. It was awfully loud in there. We wanted to go in for some appies and a few drinks, but we were yelling across the table. I am not sure if that was a simple mistake or not, but it was rather off-putting. Once we grabbed a table, we were greeted by the server, and she asked us what we wanted to drink. We explained that we had never been there before and would like a minute to explore the menu. She smiled, and told us for sure. And then, we never saw her again. We ended up walking out.

Super atmosphere, great food!

Tried the new patio upstairs, amazing bbq food. The wings are the best! A PG must.

We had a birthday dinner there, first time here. Over an hour sitting and had 3 drinks, our server only came to our table a couple of times the whole time we were there. And one of us ordered a drink, she would leave the table before another could order a drink. Our food took about an hour to come. Our waitress was quite chatty with others, even while we waited another 10-15 minutes for our bill. Food was great though, service wasn't.

Dane Greenwell

We have been loyal customer since you guys first open we loved your nice quite Irish setting and tasty English grub we were so happy that we were telling everyone about the great service. Haven't been there for a about 4 months and when we went there today and the service has changed for the worst and had to wait for our server and when we got our menu she never said anything about half the menu not being in stock. Then when we did get our food it was not really good and was small portion I will never go there again.

Have never had a bad bite yet. It's one of my go to favorite places. Roasted cauliflower is one of my most ordered sides & red sangria(although both are great).. WAIT, try their Caesar's !. I can go on. If you haven't tried this lil quaint place it's a must & sweet for a date night, you can't go wrong.

The rooftop patio was such a relaxing and inviting experience. Both my mom and I agreed that it felt like we were in another city. The char grilled food was so delicious! Great flavors, and very attentive friendly service. We will absolutely be back and have spread the positive word to friends and family.

Awesome Irish pub. The best steak sandwich I have ever had, not even close. Lots of Guinness and Jameson kicking around. My new home away from home!

Jaime Le Francois

Amazing food, good atmosphere!

Brenda K

Love the rooftop patio. Great food. Friendly staff and great prices.

Becky Dochstader

I've never been this level of impressed , satisfied and amazed all at once. Food is like something you would expect Gordon Ramsey to drool over. Drink menu is sophisticated and impressive. The atmosphere is electric and the music is just WOW 12/10 recommend

tanja puhlmann (Tadpole13)

Live music on Thursday nights make it great place to relax during the week. I really appreciate the beer cocktails and "Rachel" sandwich. They seem to have new lunch specials often, and their sandwich board art is pretty high calibre.

Arden Melinda

The Black Clover has great food at good prices in a nice atmosphere. The menu contains a mix of Irish, British, and North American fare, all in good portions and done right. It gets busy, but never too loud even with large groups and live music, so it's a great place to go with friends or alone. Do take advantage of the pool table, dart boards, and free popcorn if you bring friends to make your experience complete.

Thomas Mcclusky

Kitchen closed as we sat down as it was too hot for staff because of extreme outdoor heat wave. We got a free beer because of this as we wanted food as well.

Harry Perry

Food was even better than the reviews said. I had the lamb stew which was all kinds of hearty The ambience is very comfortable in there with couches to relax at, table video games to play your buddy at over some pints. A good draft, import and local craft brews

ReggyDaGuy

It was a slow day but staff were still very friendly and food was different but I enjoyed it quite a bit

Jessica Braye

Usually good service and when I do eat which isn't often the food is good????

M Hillyard

We got here and there was no one by the door so we had to walk up 2 flights of stairs only to find that there was no where to sit and no workers around.So we left.So update we came back and food was amazing and service was nice

Matthew Solecki (Matt)

The food was great, the service started out great but lacked towards the end. We had reservations and enjoyed a wonderful meal. Partway through our drink after the meal, a staff member who had repeatedly come around the corner to glance at us while we ate asked us to move to another smaller table nearby so he could seat a table of 6. We moved and were replaced by 3 people. After we had been moved partway through our drinks, we were essentially forgotten about. We sat with empty drinks for the next 30 minutes while waiting for our bill. I would return for the food, but the customer service definitely missed the mark.

Dwayne's Outdoor Productions

Service was poor, the bouncer was aggressive even though we all only had one beer. Overpriced food. The nachos were tasty, but the soup was really under-spiced. It was also very loud and hard to have a conversation.

Mark McVey

1st time there. Staff was very helpful and efficient. Great experience. Will definitely be back. ????????

Trisha Paniagua

Fantastic place to go for drinks, food, sports, or just good company. Went for my first time last night and didn't have a single complaint. My beer was cold the atmosphere was great and the staff awesome! The food was all really interesting too, I'll be heading back to try more of it. Staff are seriously great there, they are knowledgeable, fast, and great for a chat. Also they don't take nonsense. If a girl is getting unwanted attention or the boys have had a bit much to drink they step in when they should. 10/5 would go again and bring my friends. Shout out to Mike our waiter and bartender!

Ian Pelletier

Roof top dining , delightful giant beef rib 12$ bbq'ed... peach smash and shishkabobs were a hit defenetley going back

KVR J

Absolutely terrible service and food last night. I sat down with a table of 5 friends and immediately ordered 2 sliders, my friends ordered 20 minutes later. Their food showed up almost 45 minutes before mine and to top it all off my sliders were nearly inedible. Will not be returning

Michael Stanyer

Been to The Black Clover a few times, this is my opinion. Service has been excellent, except for one very busy night it was difficult to get my bill (understandabley so). Very friendly staff quite professional but not always prompt. Environment is fantastic if your looking for a proper pub atmosphere. Nice three way long tables encourage interaction, and the brick, wood and copper creates a wam feeling. Mix that with either the live music or the Irish pub music, it makes for an open relaxing atmosphere. The clincher for me was the two dart boards (the only ones in Prince George as far as I'm aware) and the pool table. I should ad that the location is awesome to start out a Friday or Saturday night. Food has been good consistently in my experience, however not great. Price seems a little steep to justify only good food. Very strong tastes though, so if that's your thing you might have a different experience than I. Drink selection is great, and diverse. Once again expect to pay for it (Guinness was $7.50 at an Irish Pub!!!) But the mix drinks have been fantastic! My verdict is, I will be going back but the prices make it difficult for me to make this my weekday pub when compared to places like the Westwood and Bx. I wouldn't think twice about taking a group of friend here.

Melissa Mountain

The food was awesome and it was a great time for the very first time at this place so I'll be returning later on in the month

Diana Schermer-Gerdenits

The live music was amazing, Ty is a great musician. The burger was fantastic. The employee, Mike, was the absolute best! Great experience overall.

Jaden S

The best Irish Pub in Prince George. The drink selection and pricing are really good (pitchers of import beer for $15?!?) and the customer service is outstanding in it's class. Great feel and atmosphere with live music almost every weekend, pool and darts.

Katie Blight

Awesome server. Nice view. Good drinks

Tony Bateson

It's rare I get to say I was truly blown away, but this time I get to say it. The Pot roast was so tender and so flavourful that I couldn't leave anything less than 5 stars. In addition the beer was good, the staff were courteous and professional, and the atmosphere was relaxing, inviting, and truly pub like. One of the best eating experiences I have ever had.

Latitude 48 Design

Awesome people wing Wednesdays Rock The beer ???? is cold and the service is fast and friendly A must on your week day and did I say hockey ahaha

Charlie Dyer

Generous alcohol portions. Good variety of food and drink. Relaxed environment. I went with a small group and all our food and drinks were delicious. I got the veggie burger and it had thick slices of tomato. My only complaint was the mushrooms were burnt to a crisp. I couldn't even tell they were mushrooms. However the burger tasted great without them. It came with a generous side of salad. Definitely recommend

Catrina Roderick

Bartender was great super nice fella. Love the decor it was cozy. Unfortunately the food was not so fantastic. Burnt burger and the chicken club was super dry. Neither of the people that ate the meals took more then 3 bites. We would have talked to our server but we had the food to go. I'm sure it is a one off experience. Everything else was great.

D'arcy Hodge

Was here with a friend for after work drinks. Their ceasers is really good and friendly staff.

Reilly Walker

Fun place to meet friends, but the service has been annoyingly slow the last two visits. The food can be hit and miss depending what one orders. Few veg selections and the "new" veggie burger wasn't tasty.

N M

We stopped in for dinner and some drinks after a long day of driving and it was wonderful! The drinks were great, our server was awesome and the food was amazing. We got the nachos and they were delicious. If we ever find ourselves in Prince George again, we'll be coming back!

David Nellos

I went there just walking by on impulse and couldn't have been more surprised when I ordered my meal. The host/bartender greeted me professionally and described the specials that were impressive. The drink was mixed well and the plating was beyond most other places in town.

Judy Judson

Love hanging out here - Huge space, lots of room to mingle, can't resist the free darts and pool. Most of the food is alright, the beer is great, and their chicken wings are delicious. Can't go wrong on a Friday night!

Lynn Wiebe

Had a late lunch/early dinner. Service was perfect. Husband didn't get the poutine he ordered with his burger so they made him an entire extra plate of poutine and still gave a discount. Parents said the Pot Roast (beef rib) was excellent in the past but a fatty this time. My Alberta BBQ Bison burger was excellent. Coming from a family of farmers and hunters I am picky about the processed beef in restaurants. It was refreshing to see their ground beef is hormone free and local.

Jennifer Marsh

good atmosphere. price is a little high but nothing crazy. house beer is cheap but bad. service needs some improvement, ive been ignored by bartenders multiple time in the handful of times ive been here. the biggest plus to this place is that it has good amount of people there consistently

Anthony Clarke

Great place to spend with friends. Really enjoyed the music and I love my Guiness. Horrible service tonight which is not their norm, but the 45 min wait for the bill and lack of service throughout the evening was disappointing when a person wants a good time... Get it together with the staffing issue and I will be back!

Colin Duff

Service

Leah Gustafson

Great food as last time. Staff too involved with their group of friends and off duty staff this time

Devon King

The bartenders Mike and Erin are fantastic people, and very friendly. The overall atmosphere of the clover is great, as with the prices they're about what you'd expect anywhere else, not too loud but just enough to enjoy while you have a nice whiskey. I never did have anything to eat while I was there this trip, so no comment. Cheers till next time clover.

Ben Villiers

I ordered a crispy chicken burger. Came out with a beef patty, normally no problem just asked for the chicken patty I'd swap it out. Took an hour and a half for the crispy chicken patty to come out. By then we were leaving. Not the waitresses fault. Was the kitchen.

Shi Estabrooks

I love the wings. Server was super great and nice. Not quite fond of the Pot Roast personally; it just wasn't quite what I expected, but I didn't really know what to expect really. It tasted good, but it wasn't as tender as I thought it should/could have been. So, yeah, back to those wings. Those glorious deliciously cooked, crispy and flavourful salt and pepper wings. I would go back for those wings every day. Oh, man. There are two missing in the picture because I had to stop and take a picture after we bit into them.

Valerie Coe

Friendly staff, fun environment, and food that will make you come back for more!!! I LOVE the jalapeño poppers, but beware... they are like Russian roulette, one is usually spicier than the next and then next not so much!

Kailene Landrie

Best chowder in town, very good bar staff, and great selection of beers on tap

Scott Dyck

Great seating, warm environment, often with live entertainment and the poutine with pulled pork is AMAZING!!! Great bar and yes, great for the over 40 crowd! Cause you can hear each other talk! Not a really loud, annoying atmosphere.

Len Zukowski

Meal type

Derek Kief

Irish pub with great character and decor. Fairly up to date and clean all around. Service was very friendly and outgoing. Went on a Wednesday night and although it wasn't overly busy it had a good vibe. Ordered the Scotch Egg as per the bartenders recommendation.....advice well taken as it was delicious.

Cameron Reid

The club sandwich was the best I've ever had. At $14 I'd highly recommend. Also one of the only places with Guinness on tap.

Simran Gill

Good atmosphere. Soft leather couches, fire place, lots of wood everywhere. They have a decent selection of beers. Only negative part of the experience was the uncovered cough that occured a few feet from my face by one of the male bartenders. A tad impolite, also might indicate a lack of covid training by employer

char e

Great food and drinks. Staff was friendly and personable.

Makayla Willms

I can say one thing this bar seems to have great management although they are having a tough finding decent wait-staff. The one lady with dread locks was friendly and attentive but the little weasely fellow was very slow and I think I saw him stealing cheese off a customers plate. All in all I would recommend this place for the great atmosphere but definitely suggest you count your mozza sticks when being served by anyone resembling a man-rat or weasel if you will.

Dwight Evans

30 cent wings on Wednesdays and $6.50 burgers on Thursdays. I've also had quite a few of their regular menu items because it's right next to office, and I still keep going back.

Miguel Parra

Grabbed some appies before hitting a movie and was not disappointed! They had a gentlemen from Winnipeg performing live and he was quite talented. Would go again! (Appies were pretty great too!)

John Bath

I was greeted very friendly. The drinks that we had were fantastic and for the most part freshly made from scratch which was a nice change. All I can say honestly about the food Is that it was something special absolutely delicious and a little different which was good too. In closing I would like to say thank you to the staff and the people that run the place all around a great job

Derik Lord

Pretty nice looking place. Good staff. Food isn't to bad.

Gary Stavely

The food is ok, the drinks are genius, Friday night music when we went was ok but a bit too sad of songs for a Friday night, service was mediocre (seemed understaffed, the girls were trying!) Many of us started at empty glasses while trying to flag servers down. I'll go again but I'm not rushing out to give it another shot. This was my second time there.

James Judge

A standard dive bar. Some staff were friendly but some were quite rude. The pool table is well maintained so bring your loonies.

Vincent Zogas

We stopped by for a bite to eat and catch some live entertainment. I was with three of the countries top entertainers, we were treated with complete additive from the doorman who proceeded to tell us we couldnt come in and we should go down the road ... Anyways not a good experience no food, no service, and not a good review!

David Sklar

Great atmosphere. I like the music choices and the service is good. Haven't tried much of the food, but what I had was great.

The first time I ever went to this place was when it very first opened. I had two really bad experiences that lead me to not come back for a while. I went and visited their new rooftop patio the other day, and I couldn't be more happy to see that the Black Clover is now one of my favourite places to be in Prince George. Great people, great atmosphere, and AMAZING food! The cocktails are great, the beer is even better and I have to say I am VERY proud to see how far the Clover has come. Well done guys, I'll see you very soon again :)

Jacob Reed

I've loved this place since opening day, such a great atmosphere and the staff are always welcoming. The menu is a little over crowded but that just means you'll be hard pressed to make a decision; the drinks are awesome and always warm the spirit. Definitely worth a visit, or two.

Aly Burgar

Absolutely deadly food. I've never ordered the same thing twice and it's been absolutely outstanding every time. Delicious! We go out of our way to come here every time!

Danielle Benwell

The bartender made us feel like an inconvenience for being there. The food wasn't bad but was nothing special.

John Williams

Good food ,good service! We will be going back for sure !!would recommend ????

Shawn Stoesz

After a nine hour drive a friend and I set out to comb the desolate cold foreign city of Prince George for a few drinks. After having a burn across the street from the hotel, we saw some good folks smoking down the block, bingo. Maybe expecting a few old people leaned over a bar, we were pleasantly surprised when we marched into what seemed to be an epicenter of night life, a bustling pub packed with good folks, very friendly bar tenders, and great selection of drinks. Had a look at the food menu and immediately made a selection of breakfast for the morning before we set out. Good stuff lads!

Brandon Durrant

Patio was open! Beautiful weather completed a great night. Adam created a stellar Blueberry Mojito

Raymond Berry

Had a great night food was good wings were delicious. I always come here for the staff they are awesome. The biggest issue was the lady who ordered wings and demanded they be packaged up in a to go bag. She demanded a discount because they were “tasteless”. It’s like why you want the wings so bad to take home but you hate em enough for the discount. Kinda put a damper on the overall vibe.

Domenic Cinalli

Dinner

Graeme MacKenzie

Great atmosphere, food was alright burger Pattie had cartilage in it definitely needed another run through the grinder

Amanda Augaitis

Food is always great and our server was helpful and friendly. The only thing is we should have been warned how much food was in each of the servings. Servings are larger they you expect. Thanks again Troy for an awesome and best roof top patio.

Terry Selzler

Great atmosphere.... good servers plus the live music was awesome

Andrew Cassidy

i like atmosphere but food doesn’t really appeal to me. service is generally pretty good although the place does get packed on weekends and they tend not to have enough servers on these nights. they would get 4 stars if i liked food

Veronica Henkel

I went there early on a Monday and I had drink with a friend. I had the exellent grapefruit beer. The staff was welcoming to us. They had show every weekend. If I get the chance, I will go again went they have a live band!

Russell Nunweiler (Russ)

Had a great business lunch there, good service, great food, and a nice relaxed atmosphere. Missed out on the rooftop, but we will be back again! Make sure to try the scotch eggs, they were perfect.

Emily Staples

Great atmosphere... I was so happy I could eat the wings.. non battered.. gluten free amazing choices. My waitress was so amazing I wish I could remember her name..I gave her a great tip cause she went above and beyond.. including when another server brought me my drink with only one lime (not a big deal to some, a big deal to me) my waitress noticed right away and finished what she was doing and brought me my second lime right away. It's the little things like that that stand out to me as a server.. Great crowd... it was a great night out..

Leon Bustin

I'd you like that traditional Irish pub feel this place is for you. Good bar set up, proper Irish food items on menu comfortable seating. Perfect to entice you into one more Guinness.

Ariel

Great staff. Really knowlegable. Superb atmosphere. I will continue to visit. I was really comfortable there and enjoyed the time I spent. One of the top spots to get a pint and have a conversation. I can't wait to visit The Black Clover again.

Nicky Whisky

Service took a little to get to our table but the food we ordered came rather quickly once it was ordered. I had the club sandwich which is now my favorite sandwich in the city, not to mention it was surprisingly cheap to eat there! Overall, might just need more waitresses, but the only problem is we got forgotten once or twice.

Adam Melnyk

Went for 2nd time in few years. Food was good,waitress that did the bill was meh could been little more friendly. But an nachos were great and the bartender who seated and took our orders was an awesome server.

Nick roy

We went for the first time not knowing what to expect and it was definitely a pub atmosphere but with a very cozy and upscale feel to it. Great menu and excellent service. The meal was delicious. Definitely would be a great place to go for drinks with friends on a Friday night but also good for date night.

David Ostrom

Inviting staff and atmosphere.... food has always been very delicious. It seems to be Irish infusion. Weird I know! Like, spring rolls stuffed with mash potatoes and sausage.... interesting and tasty or the roast beef used in sushi... definitely a place to go.

Andrea EV1

Best pub in town, period. Their burgers are to die for, and they have the cheapest pints of Guinness in the North. Tons of good bar games to be had here, and they have live music playing late at night. Great atmosphere, amazing customer service, and always they always serve their beer cold.

Steve Russell

Chicken wings: nice dry rub flavours but pretty small Scotch eggs: Wow! Really really good, I was surprised.
