Reviews of Stemwinder Bar & Grill (Optics Shop)

Martin Santo

Great apres ski with live local music, good bar food, lively atmosphere

Dragan Ivancevic

Nice ambient, can be loud (little kids noise, who are allowed until 8pm), live, local musician performances. Good bar seating. Wafer fries is a must try.

Francisco Cristales

Great atmosphere

Adam and Jenn Hoofundhorn

Great service. I would go again.

The stemwinder is great, live music every weekend, great food and decent selection of beer on tap. Can get busy, and at times standing room only, but the staff are great, and service is quick most days. A great place to warm up and they serve STOKE fireside juice this year (the best!) We got an order of waffle fries and regular fries this time, it was almost too much, we were so full after! Delicious.

Benjamin Tetzlaw

Food was great. But waited way to long for it. Service was medium.

Agnete W. I.

Friendly place, the portion sizes are giant (has pizza and nachos). Nice atmosphere.

Dan Morrison

Always the best après ski in Kimberley, please bring back kootenay mountain ale!

Alexa Rose

Decent place to have lunch on the hill. The other restaurant has an express lunch which is supposed to be great

Myndi Fraser

Great bar staff, fresh food. Good place to head to after a day on the hill. Doesn't stay open past 6:00 PM though. Could be a bummer on the weekends.

Jules

Only had a hot chocolate. It was very busy but overall pretty good. A bit pricey.

Ed VanWieren

The nachos are a great deal. It's a busy standard ski pub. Adequate selection of beers. Servers were generally good (ie above the average by quite a bit).

Waited an hour and a half for our food before the waitress offered our drink bill and asked if we were finished. Our food was delivered soon after and our fries and drinks were offered to be covered in recompense, in addition another free drink. When the bill finally arrived, fries and 2 pops were waived while we were charged for the "free drinks" resulting in an additional $23 in charge. When we arrived it was 1:30, the final bill was brought out at 3:40. More time was wasted arguing when the manager refused to honour the free drinks and adjust the bill. The last lift closed at 4 effectively costing us a half day.

Faith Manucduc

Very friendly servers and their servings are huge! We wanted an appie to share between the three of us and we could barely finish it, even after more people joined our party later on. The fries were amazing though, would go back to Kimberley for it!

Lloyd Steeves

Awesome server, Ginja

Chantel Loree Delaney

Russel Rousson

Was there for a wedding and it was great no complaints food was awesome

Jakob Friesen

Waited too long for food. But with limited options in the area can’t see them change it.

Paul Cowl

Great ski side pub. Awesome fries. A little pricey but not a lot of other options in the area when you are skiing.

Steven Kelm

Had 4 choices for breakfast and could not order any lunch till 11 and it was 1045 could give some more options for breakfast if your not going to serve lunch aswell

Great Staff

Laura Burn

Fun!!

John Rattie

Great staff, and food.

Joel Owen

Excellent service and food at a private function. It is obvious to me that the team at Stemwinder is expertly equipped and professionally trained to accommodate corporate events and group functions. The prime rib is an absolute must.

Kirk Mackenzie

Horrible service we reserved the table next to us for new years lunch and then they sat someone else there. No apology just well we will seat the elsewhere. As a red seal chef I would have fired the front end manager over it. Food was very sub par and over priced service was horrible and slow. Left no tip and this review. Avoid this place at all costs!!! I would give 0 stars if I could.

ian chappell

Easily the worst on hill location i have ever had the misfortune of going to. Horrible, attitude filled service that took over 1.5 hours to get us a simple pizza. To top it off they refused to remove a drink charge that we didnt order. Seriously do not recommend this establishment, if you are looking for food either go to the Montanas across from it or the cafeteria downstairs. Do yourself a favor and do not give this place business.

Todd White

Great service

Clarke kids

Soup and sandwich special best deal. Waitress was sub par and super forgetful

Tara Jones

Always good for a ski lunch.

D F (DrDougieEvil)

Very affordable for a slopeside bar. Good menu with the daily Soup and a Sandwich bring the best value. Friendly staff who keep the beers rolling even when busy.

chris noble

Great happy hour...good selection on tap!

Lucas David

Nice food, but you should stop harassing customers. I stayed 1 h 30 hour and the waitress came 7 times asking for more food or drinks.

Kevin Warriner

Dun armosphere, great staff !

Tree Snow

Clean and happy place

Ma Po

(Translated) Moin, it was nicely decorated and a good meal would be served. The service is friendly and accommodating. (Original) Moin, es war nett eingerichtet und einen gutes Essen würde serviert. Die Bedienung ist freundlich und zuvorkommend.

Laura N

Very rude staff. If this is the only option for food at the hill KAR is going to offer then reconsidering the people you have representing you is strongly recommended. Also food took over an hour to be served, which with a large line of people waiting is unacceptable for a restaurant.
