Small and cozy space, with friendly bartenders serving up delicious cocktails. The Maple Syrup Smoked Old Fashioned is dynamite. I also recommend the Child's Play & Penicillin.
Love the space and people! Perfect casual well thought out west coast cocktail spot
Great atmosphere and a really creative bartender who makes his own cocktail creations. Had a rum old fashioned that he used liquid smoke with. Great music and a perfect spot for a nightcap
Great bar and service, fun place to go with friends
Dine in
Great cocktails, great food, amazing staff! Cozy little cocktail bar, will definitely be returning!
Great cocktails, low key vibes
Best whiskey sour on the island!
Excellent place for drinks. Trendy small bar with an emphasis on specialty cocktails. The pick 3 menu for $30 won't disappoint. We got lured in by the $18 Highland Park Whiskey flight and then had The Mapled Buttered Smoked Old Fashion and Two Smoking Barrels. Both just exceptional and watching them being made was just as great a treat. If you take your libations seriously then definitely give Clark & Co. a try.
By far the best service experience I have ever had, hands down best establishment in town! Friendly staff, awesome service and the food and drink can't be beat!
Probably my favourite cocktail bar in Victoria. The staff (bartenders) really know what they are doing and have a real passion for the craft. We love to go here on fancier nights. The cocktails can be a little on the pricier side but are worth it in light of the difference in quality. Love when they have a good feature on scotch flights. Met one of the owners one night and my admiration for the place only improved. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a high quality cocktail, though I am almost afraid that if it gets too popular we won't be able to go.
Really great experience at Clarke and Co last night for dine around. Soren was an excellent server and the owner made several attempts to stop and chat to make sure everything was going well for us. Given how busy it was it was nice to see the staff enjoying themselves and making the extra effort to interact with patrons. I highly recommend you check out Clarke and Co.
The place is high grade... The food and cocktails
Tough to find a great cocktail in a relaxed environment in Victoria. Amazingly creative cocktails without all the need for a suit and tie.
This and little jumbo are the two best cocktail bars in Victoria. The menu here is extremely creative and the bartenders are talented. I'd take the tv down, but overall this is an excellent place.
Awesome time with every visit here, everyone os knowledgeable and professional plus the old fashion is one of the best :)
Great cocktails, and knowledgeable, friendly bartenders. We'll definitely be back! This is a great place to try some of the local products, and it’s worth requesting a “bartender’s choice” if you’re in the mood for something you can’t quite name.
(Translated) Very good place, very good drinks, I recommend you try the ribs they prepare are very exquisite. (Original) Muy buen lugar, muy buenas bebidas, recomiendo que prueben las costillas que preparan están muy exquisitas.
Careful following of covid regulations with prompt attention and completely customizes cocktails. The trifecta of a good experience. Thanks for the tip on the chili pepper liqueur!
Cocktails worth reviewing! Intimate setting with very knowledgeable, friendly staff. Elaborate, delicious and original cocktails. ????????????
Shane and Jill are amazing hosts with attention to detail from their unique cocktails to tasty bites. Come after theatre, come for brunch, come anytime.
Great serious. Friendly staff. Highly recommend
Amazing and inventive cocktails. Great atmosphere.
A fabulous neighborhood cocktail bar. Personal and great service.
Stopped in late to try a couple cocktails. Delicious drinks in a cozy, fun space. The fried chicken was amazing!! They also had a nice selection of whiskies and gins. We had heard about Sheringham Sea Side gin and the Empress gin (it's purple!) on a food tour around Victoria and Clarke&Co had both to try! Really low key spot to enjoy good and drink. Highly recommend!
Solid option for cocktails in Victoria, with some interesting food options as well. The green chorizo and the mushroom toast are both delicious.
If I could rate them with 0 stars I would. Unorganized, unprofessional, unacceptable. Been before, won't be going again. In a town flooded with local establishments and eateries, why go to one run this way?
Currently the best cocktails in Victoria. Awesome, friendly, talented bartenders. Love the free popcorn and always keeping your water topped up so you don’t get too messy.
Great music and vibe. Custom made cocktails are amazing
Good food, great drinks, good atmosphere, and nice staff. Worthy of a visit is the nutshell.
Amazing service, friendly staff, tasty eats and brilliant ownership. My fiance and I love it here.
(Translated) In the middle of the rockies, small and contemplative (Original) Mitten in den rockies, klein und beschaulich
The atmosphere was amazing! Bartender was super friendly and relatable and my cocktails were quite delicious
A favourite spot but ahhhh don't tell anyone.
Friendly staff. They know how to treat their customers. Great drinks and food.
Meal type
Went down for an Old Fashioned, was not disappointed at all. The bartender knows exactly what she's doing. A little pricy though, but that's Victoria.
Great food and great drinks. Staff treats you like you have been going here forever.
Had a cocktail that was amazing!
Great cocktails from imaginative bartenders, quite good at working off menu, very friendly staff and quite accommodating despite their small location, some of the food items could use some refinement, but there are some reliably good dishes such as mushrooms on toast and bacon wrapped dates... I recommend them as a solid establishment for people who appreciate good food.
Amazing cocktails, atmosphere and service. My favorite new place in Victoria
Great little bar I discovered tonight. Super friendly staff. Really interesting cocktails - loved the Aviation one. Great fries and for sure the best fried pickles I've had. They have lots of homemade touches to their food and drinks and the owner/bartender made great suggestions with the drinks and was willing to customize them so they'd be closer to our individual tastes. I can't wait to go back! ????
Great cocktail
Classy and upscale place for a cocktail
Great cocktails and popcorn ????
Fantastic little spot. Delicious drinks and friendly hipster staff. I love the paprika popcorn the give everyone.
All those gluten free comfort foods you’ve been missing are here! Five stars for the gf menu. Poutine, Mac and cheese, wings! Seriously everything is gf. We had mushroom poutine and s&p wings and both were tasty. However, like all comfort foods you feel like a couch, not like sitting on a couch, but an actual couch. Get a few cocktails and call it a night.

Our favourite cocktail bar in Victoria. Hands down. Great staff who know their craft without being pretentious.
This is the best cocktail bar in Victoria hands down. The staff are always amazing and go above and beyond to make your evening memorable.
Great drinks and friendly staff
A great culture and a great drink.
Great spot. Go. Have fun. Eat pakoras with nice mint chutney.
Best service. Very good drinks. Have to try the meat & cheese platter yummmmm!! The owner was super attentive as well as all the staff.. Deffenatly will be back !
Bar snacks, cocktails and world class service. Thanks for a great night.
Will never visit.
Very tasty appetizers and great cocktails
First day, first stop by coincidence and... great concept. Not a very large space so you better book before. We enjoyed a nice July 6 o'clock moment on the small outside patio literally on the sidewalk. Simple and efficient. Great choice of cocktails. The menu offers limited choices but it is very nice and well prepared. Do not go there if you are looking for large quantities. Go for a privileged moment you want to share with someone sipping a different drink and discovering small tasty bites. Two friendly owners will make this great for you. Also a trendy place for some millenias :)
If you want amazing cocktails and good small bites, then this is the local place to go. I'm a local and it took me a while to find this place so I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a good vibe and good drinks!
A must go place ! All staff have wonderful customer service. Especially the owner Shane is knowledgeable creative and passionate about the drinks and food that they serve at the restaurant. He is always respectful to customers and his big smile creates great atmosphere. I enjoy being there always :)
Excellent cocktails and a nice looking bar, but the music really is just a little too loud... a theme I've heard from others who go there. If you are sipping on a $18 cocktail, you want to enjoy the company you are having it with.
Before I was an employee, I came into Clarke & Co and was treated like family. Shane and Jill are the most professional hosts I've ever met. The best service, and the best food I've had in the city! Couldn't recommend going there enough!!
Friendly staff. Great Drinks. I can't complain.
Cozy atmosphere with well chosen ambient House music playing in the back ground. As soon as i sat down i was greated warmly by the staff, and Instantly I felt the stresses of the day melt away. Clarck & Co.had a large collection of Single Malts, Irish Whiskey, Bourbon and of course, incredible Canadian craft Whiskies and Spirits produced on Vancouver island. Vancouver island has been steadily continued to impress global palettes with high quality and standard on offer, from the many dedicated Distillers practicing their craft. Big shout out to Laura the Manager, who was extremely knowlagable, passionate, helpful and patient in helping me chose a delicious whisky, that paired well with my charcuterie plate. Sitting front stage, as i watched the Bar staff produce incredible looking cocktails for their egar guest was refreshing, in regards to the enthusiasm they displayed. Thank you everyone at Clark & Co for a wonderful experience. Slàinte
Had been meaning to visit this place for a long time and finally bit the bullet for some celebration cocktails with my boyfriend. We were SO impressed!!! Everything we tried was amazing. Such creative and delicious combinations, and there is something for everyone. Staff was extremely helpful in offering recommendations. Highly recommend!
Great bar with a lot of booze options. If you like cocktails this is the place to go.
Fantastic cocktails and an extensive whisk(e)y list. Nice snack menu. A must-go for artisan cocktails and higher end spirits with very knowledgeable bar staff.
Having never been to Clarke&Co prior to tonight I had heard good things, with the proviso that it was a little on the expensive side. Having now been, I can say that there is a excellent union of cost and quality. Friendly, knowledgable staff quickly answered any questions I had and the dimly-lit environment was cozy and intimate. The cocktail menu was varied and no less reasonably priced than most places worth drinking at, and I look forward to sampling further, settling on their take on the bourbon sour to my complete satisfaction. Deciding to try their fried chicken was the best decision possible as the boneless chunks are juicy and the seasoning was phenomenal. If they were able to provide a vegetarian alternative for the fried chicken I'm sure they would bring in a whole new crowd. Overall definitely a great choice for an evening out - the bottomless popcorn doesn't hurt.
Delicious cocktails in an intimate setting. Quite small so make a reservation, especially with covid right now. Not much food but we did get the amazing popcorn!
Service
The service was fantastic. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was good, not amazing. But the bartenders make phenomenal drinks and they are fun to watch.
Love the vibe, choices of drinks and the staff are always amazing. I highly recommend this place either for a simple beer or an amazing cocktail.
Awesome bartenders, I love that you can just tell them what you like and qualities of the drink and they'll make something just for you
Always an impeccable experience and the finest cocktails in the city. If you go on a low time, the staff are so knowledgeable and I always learn something new!
Favourite cocktail bar in Victoria. Hands down.
Great cocktails, tasty snacks.... Outstanding service!!!
We ordered a number of drinks not knowing the menu and the server brought us the most amazing cocktails. It's a quiet and small intimate place but warm and cozy and a very great experience. Beat cocktails I've had in the city and the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Really loved the vibe and environment. High recommended for locals and visitors
What a great find! My husband and I went in to use the washroom and ended up staying. Laura was so warm and inviting. She gave us an education on real cocktails. She asked us what flavors we were looking for and mixed us up original cocktails that were amazing. We will definately be going back. Thank you Laura!
Never crowded. Always great bartenders! Worth stopping.
New to YYJ but I was not disappointed at all to finally find a place that can make a negroni. No need for me to look anywhere else. Cheers.
This is a great little spot. It's good for a few evening drinks with some friends as it is cozy and has a calm atmosphere. The staff are friendly and the owner is a self-made career bartender with a warming backstory. The drink menu is concise and has the bases covered for standard drinks. They don't really serve much for food, just a couple items but you're there for the drinks and ambiance anyways.
great drinks.great people making the drinks. atmosphere was fantastic played great music.
The manager is a huge Drake fan so that's a plus. 12/10 bar service and drinks.
Honestly I haven't tried any of the cocktails yet as my time there fell at the end of an already very boozy night, but the table popcorn is to die for. The staff are real friendly and the atmosphere is fantastic too. I promise to update my review once Ive had more than the cheapest beer on the menu.
Words are not enough, one must simply go.
Absolutely love this place! Had some wicked drinks and the staff that worked there are so nice. Service is on point!! Can't wait to go back.
(Translated) good music nice bartender perfect cocktail It is also friendly to foreigners. It was very good???? (Original) good music nice bartender perfect cocktail 외국인에게도 친절해요 너무 좋았습니다????
Great vibe and great drinks! Highly recommended asking for a custom creation
Its lovely... Expensive, but Neavue'.
Service
My wife and I have been here a handful of times and have always had a great experience. Incredible selection of standard and bespoke cocktails and the food selection is awesome as well. Top notch service that makes you want to visit again and again.
The guy that worked there named Shane tried to touch me inappropriately. Gross!
Excellent cocktails and service without fail. Perfect spot for high quality classic and modern drinks. All the bartenders are great to chat with, and are very knowledgeable and helpful if you're not sure about what to drink! 11/10 every time
Wonderful place to go for a special drink. Personalized service and your drink will customized to your taste. Bartenders are there to help you make a choice that you'll be happy with.
Enjoyed a bourbon recommended by the bartender.
Probably one of my favorite spots in town, always a slight change with every visit...in the most positive way!!
One of few places in Victoria worth getting a cocktail from.
Great spot for a cocktail and a bite. Bartender combo to go with the cocktail is a great special.
Good place to go with a small group for cocktails
If your looking for cocktails,this is the place to go. The bartenders are top notch and very friendly. The cocktails are an experience.
Top notch food and cocktails
Just great cocktails and nice food to boot
A great experience at Clarke & Co. Super friendly staff, experienced cocktail specialists and a small and personal feel.
Randomly stopped in at the end of the night and had some stellar cocktails. Great tunes too!
Cool little spot, good food.
Great cocktails, fun interactions, I'll be back!
Amazing and chill atmosphere. The cocktails are incredible and the ability to get an inspired drink from your own suggestions was perfect. I’ll be back here often.
Delicious, unique cocktails and knowledgable staff. Definitely going back!
Dinner
Always top notch staff, cocktails and guests. Definitely recommend.
An amazing cocktail bar! Skilled mixologists behind the bar (as super-friendly too!) a pleasant atmosphere. Limited seating so come early and stay late!!
Yummy but expensive
Incredibly knowledgeable staff, amazing selection and best cocktails in the city!!
Great cocktail menu and a chaem that reminded me of a speak easy.
Read some of the glowing reviews and thought I'd pop in. It did not disappoint. Relaxed vibe with friendly staff and I will definitely be back
Utterly Exquisite. Libations are incomparable, no such a small space they have made it feel very warm and welcoming. Employees are always on point and there when you need them. One last thing...popcorn...well played!
Really good cocktails and a great selection of scotch, all at decent prices. Location is on the small side, but that adds to the ambiance
Crafty cocktails with panache! Plus, popcorn and pairing plates are perfect. Great spot for drinks afterwork through the afterhours.
Friendly and well meaning staff with a solid selection. Unfortunately, a poor showing when I was there. I sat down, was greeted, and placed an order for a simple cocktail and shot, and after 40 minutes of waiting, I gave up and decided to leave. They recognized the issue and apologized, which was appreciated. It wasn't that busy of a night, and I may have just gotten lost in the shuffle. It felt like an honest mistake, and I'll give them another chance and update the review afterwards
Best drinks we have ever had! My brother has been to countless cocktail bars around the world and said Clarks had the best drinks he's ever had. Nice environment, knowledgeable staff who told us about the high-end equipment they use to make their drinks, and we liked the vintage glass tumblers. Would be better with different music, less 80's and 90's Darcy's dance stuff (like Journey etc). Maybe soul, soft funk jazz or instrumental, something along those lines.
Excellent cocktails and food. Even better service.
My personal favorite cocktail bar in victoria! If you're feeling brave ask for the extra spicy margherita ????
Perfect cocktail spot!
Awesome spot with amazing craft cocktails!
Very good cocktails
Every time I go here it's a great night. It's a perfect spot to tuck away for a cocktail in a cozy, relaxed atmosphere. The service is always attentive and friendly, shout-out to Nick, our bartender, who made incredible drinks with only our indecisive 'I dunno what to get... maybe something floral? sour? bitter?" words for inspiration. Thanks for a great Friday!
Nice little cocktail bar with super friendly owner. Negroni festival on for the weekend so was educated on the fine art of Gin ????
5 stars because I don't like false allegations and slander taking down the hard work of a local business.
Great little bar for nice cocktails and great service.
Usually don't take the time to review unless the experience was exceptionally good or bad, this was the latter. I took my family because of the great reviews for there happy hour. Unfortunately the bar itself is nothing to be impressed by and when they say that shakes are $5 on the menu, that means, only the Classic shake is $5, all other shakes are double the price and they will not tell you that when ordering. I ordered a Manhattan that is supposed to be 3 OZ, it was at best 1.5 OZ. They tried upcharging on the final bill as well, she was rude when asked to make the adjustment. I wouldn't recommend going, happy hour or otherwise.
What a fabulous cocktail bar ! such a diverse and inspired cocktail list for every palette. Thank you for being so great !
One of thr best bars I've ever been to
Great cocktails, staff are wonderful. Make off the cuff drinks that'll blow your mind.
Really cool staff! Great whisky selection!
Love this place. Food is amazing. The sausage is incredible. Bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable if you like your cocktails. Great place.
I love this bar. It's got a great program and even better team. Everyone's so friendly and passionate. I also love how the minimalist rustic design mind f*cks you in the best way. Everything from music (it was vibe, ya had to be there) and atmosphere - cocktails worked together and was amazing!
Amazing as always. Brilliant bartenders that make it feel like home.
Great drinks, friendly and knowledgeable staff! A great little place.
Amazing cocktails created by true mixologist's. The staff is fantastic and the atmosphere is perfect! My wife and I hade a great time here and are looking forward to a repeat the next time we visit Victoria!
A - mazing! Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a spot with friendly vibes, and fantastic service, and excellent drinks.
Great service, great team
Love this little local gem. Superb cocktails, super nice people and groovy ambience. Oh ya, and yummy popcorn too!!!!
Great cocktails, food was good for sharing not for getting full.
Great drinks, staff and atmosphere.
Service and atmosphere kept us here. The late night snacks and drinks were delicious too. Smores shaft was worth a try! Loved this cosy space and will definitely be back
Clarke and Co is one of my favourite local spots to hangout. The service is incredible, the staff are friendly and extremely talented. I’ve never seen more care and precision towards every small important detail. Highly recommend, it would be a shame to miss out on this place if you’re visiting Vitoria!
This bar is a hidden gem in Victoria! Their drink menu is extensive and very creative, while their food menu is absolutely delicious (their mushroom toast is to DIE for). Jill and Shane are awesome hosts and take pride in everything they do. I would highly recommend everyone visit this place if they get the chance.
They need a better system for wait list. We put our names on the wait list and their employee asked for our number so they can send us a notification when our table was ready. We replied confirming that we were coming and while we were waiting outside of the bar for someone to seat us, another one of their employees was having a cigarette with a group of friends outside and after we were waiting for a couple minutes, he gave our table to them instead. After they were seated, the employee that we originally talked to came out and said sorry and that we would be seated in 5 minutes and she would update us in a couple minutes. We waited 15 minutes more and no one came out to update us, so we decided to leave. Really disappointed.
Amazing off-menu cocktails, great atmosphere, tasty food and bartenders always happy to chat cocktails!
Amazing food, great bar selection and wonderful staff. Perfectly intimate.
great food, wonderful staff, Shane and Jill are fabulous!
Great selection of tasty cocktails. Cozy space with a nice vibe. The smoky spiced popcorn is a delightful treat!!
Excellent cocktails! Was there on a saturday night and it was PACKED...so go early or be prepared to wait.
I consider it a hipster place... , and enjoyed it thoroughly! Staff was great, friendly and made great suggestions! Very interesting concoctions that melt into some great drinking experiences. Smokey popcorn just added to the drink flavours. Well Done!
Charming little bar. New owners so lots of potential to see this little gem thrive.
Great cocktails, super service and fabulous food. I recommend sitting at the bar.
Tried two different cocktails, both were perfectly balanced, unique and delicious! Service was very attentive and our server made suggestions that were very helpful.....will definitely be going back.
Always a great stop on a night out. Never disappointed.
Nice intimate vibe ... Passionate bar tenders and servers . Unique cocktails .
This is the most unique and exciting Cocktail Bar that I have been to . Love it... and all the staff are amazing...friendly courteous and RESPECTFUL service. If I could give them 10 stars I would.
Drop by this trendy cocktail lounge for drinks, they do it right! Perfect blend of energy, causal, and upscale to fit most occasion. Knowledgeable staff that are able to offer well matched suggestions.
Went recently with my wife and another couple. We found the place to be unique in Victoria. It was quite busy but staff somehow managed to provide quick service and was very friendly without rushing us. They were very knowledgable about their prodict and had great recommendations. Food and drinks were amazing! Looking forward to going back.
Very delicious cocktails, with great showmanship, free popcorn and friendly staff. The only downside is I can only afford one drink!
Lovely little spot for a drink. Had my first manhattan on tap. Cozy Friendly In my neighbourhood I'll certainly be back
Fine Practicioners of Mixology , nice place to try a new cocktail experience!!
Cool new place, a neat cocktail combo I really enjoyed.
Fantastic place, excellent service and talented mixologists.
Awesome cocktails. Professionally made. Great service.
Awesome and unique place! Support local business. Owned & operated by women! ????
Meal type
Great little bar. Amazing drinks and lovely atmosphere. A little on the pricier side, but we'll worth it.
Clarke & Co is the best cocktail bar in town for many reasons. The service is warm and professional backed by a deep knowledge and passion for what they do. The owners are thoughtful and welcoming to all and place the upmost importance on the guest experience. The room is cozy and inviting. The food is delicious and very well done. What makes Clarke & Co so special is the environment that has been fostered there. The feeling that when you walk in the door you know you will be surrounded by great people, staff and guests alike. I couldn't recommend Clarke & Co more highly.
Nice staff and good quality cocktails, boring atmosphere.
The mixologists at Clark & Co were extremely knowledgable in their craft. Mixing is their specialty, and you can tell they love their work. Nuances in their drinks from how a specific flavour will affect the overall finish of your drink was both entertaining and educational. Great place to stop for drinks.
Dine in
Love it here. Awesome cocktails.
Great food! Best old fashioned in town No lie It's awesome
Staff is great. Tons of light and people working on their laptops.
Serving the most Delicious cocktails. I enjoy every time I go, and I always get at least 3 that's how good they are. Friendly staff and Laura is a talented and skilled bartender. She will make cocktails custom to your favourite taste and flavor with your alcohol preference, ranging from whisky, gin or whatever your heart desires. If cost is not issue definitely ask for a surprise! It will not disappoint!
This Classy little spot sould not go over looked. Prices are pretty reasonable and the staff are very friendly. Will be coming back for sure.
Great staff, they are so talented! It is fancy but inviting and unpretentious all at the same time. This place makes me feel like I'm in a big city and stumbled on a neighbourhood gem, I love it.
Only place to go in Victoria for immaculate cocktails and even better service. Thank you Jordan, Laura and Kate for the amazing education and experience.
was in town for one night xhecked out this hole in the wall figured whatever, but the servers were rude, i left mid way threw my first drink, not 100% sure I want to go further than that because judging by the rest of the comments if you give a one star they will sue you for your bad experience? anyways to each their own but I won't make that mistake twice.
