Reviews of The Poacher (Winery)

yippy dave

I usually love this place ! But today I couldn't find a beer I liked . But I will be back

Graham Vooren

Mediocre pub with dated/dirty interior. Food was average. Their only saving grace was having Paulaner on tap.

kay Lewis

David Vick

Love the drink menu

GamerScrub

Pros: Good beer with a good selection. …

Michael Decaire

Bustling an popular pub. About as authentic as it gets in these parts. A good draught list and great fries.

Robert Jansons

Super fun bar. Casual, relaxed. Had a great time with family there tonight!

Amanda Stewart

Spacious (& dog friendly!) patio. Nothing fancy - but there is lots of space and you don’t have to worry about eating too close to another table. Fish and chips were exactly what you want and expect, yum!

Sandy McKay

They have cleaned it up since the last time I was there. A big improvement. Nice beer selection. Too bad the kitchen wasn't open

Aaron Toth (DBL A RON)

Cozy!! Very traditional in many ways and right in the downtown core. What else could you ask for?

Johanna FitzPatrick

Amazing staff and great patio setup for covid

The Shoppery

It is the Poacher....dank, sad, surprisingly good food, but always a good time.

Danielle Bourdeau

Brad from Canada Pinder

Great setting for friends to meet and have a casual meal or drink

Great food, great service, great people

William Langman [Staff]

A small local with an authentic feel. If you want to go to a pub, it fits the bill. Good selection of draught, friendly service. Never been anywhere where people burst into song so much. Nice patio when the weather is good. Food is solid pub food. Not likely to disappoint.

Tim Westerveld

Playing pool in the basement is always a good time

Isi commisso

Oh my word! What a lovely bar! They even have a hilarious comedy show every Wednesday in the basement! Did I mention it's totally free?! It starts at 9pm ish! You should check it out!

David Le Blanc

Great pub food

Amber Korobkina

This is definitely our favourite place to go. It's right down the street from my work, and my husband just loves it when I have time to meet him at the Poacher for lunch. Their food all tastes home-cooked and the quality is consistently …

Kathy Gillett

Good food, standard pub fair. Love the hummus, fish and chips are fresh and delicious. Friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere. Nice place to eat and hang out.

Saejun Young

Place was quiet, dropped in for a quick drink and ordered food to go, fries were stone cold. Food standard not bad!

TCR Web (tcrweb)

Good food, cozy place to go after work and grab a pint with friends

torontochap1

No issues about lack of parking.

Usually we go over the weekend and very much like the service.

Jeff MC

At the suggestion of a friend, we went here during an out of town trip. This place has the feel of an old style English pub. Complete with dart boards and a great beer selection. On top of that the food and service was fantastic. I'd definitely stop be again when in town.

Mr Liver

Enjoyed a cozy evening of Appies n Beverages with friends and family (including Grandma). Nice atmosphere and great service. Also played some ‘one handed’ darts with the kids.

Thomas Hoffmann

Monday wings are awesome. Other than that it is very dated. I don't think anything has been updated since the day it opened.

Terry Beck

Best food and best service

Ryanne Florence

A popular spot if you know where. Tucked away a bit so you don't just get the average straggler thats not local. Popular on Fridays and sometimes Saturdays, especially during nice weather months

Christian Plante

I've been going since I was in high school, easily 20+ years. The place hasn't changed a bit. …

Stefan Kastenmacher

If you are in Burlington this is in my opinion the best bar there is. From the amazing staff who are always the best, to the amazing selection of music in both jukeboxes (upstairs and down), the selection of booze on hand and even snacks …

They have a nice outdoor patio (raised wooden deck) on the east side, so there is some shade. A good selection of beer, and the menu offers pub favourites and some unique items as well. …

Excellent food at a reasonable price.

Rob Stonehewer

Great food. Friendly ambiance. Good staff.

Tri-Cities360 Scott Rawlings

I guess if you just want to get a beer buzz this is the place to go. Smells like urine, tables are sticky, chairs are from the early 80s and couldnt get any service so we left. This place has obviously been coasting for a …

Marco S

Been going for years. Never had an issue with the food which makes me question some of the bad food reviews I have seen on here. I would love to have the Swiss melt chicken sandwich back but there is nothing bad on the menu. Totally …

Clayton Low

Went to the downstairs for drinks at 11. No pitchers of anything, not even water. And the employees occupy a pool table the entire night and say it's off limits. Low quality bar.

David Stott

Part of the Burlington Pub Crawl this pub is homey and well worn in. Darts \ Lounge upstairs with raucous pool table area downstairs which sees a slightly younger crowd.

Adrian Brent

Good times in my spot.

John Huibers (Change)

Phenomenal food, phenomenal bar. Great music and friendly faces, wing night is the best night.

Good fish and chips. Like their chicken fingers as well

Nick Sivobor

Excellent bar with authentic atmosphere. Nice food. Good choice of beers. Good choice for relax.

John Stevenson

I love the fact that they always have a beer on cask. They also will have rotating craft beers. The food is typical pub fair which is not always a hit with everyone but is fine for me. I typically just have a beer on the patio. Staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable.

Rodrigo Reston

Good service, good beer variety - with parking lot.

Sheri Neill

Great wings

John Kimman

Great beer selection and really cozy place.

great bar, great jukebox with so many classic tunes from as far back as the 50's. Dartboards upstairs and pool tables & bar downstairs, a good place to make some fun happen!

Moustafa Osman

A great selection of British and European beers on tap. Quiet and laid back environment. Nice terrace and on-site parking. Great food, recommend the Sheppard's pie.

Amie Wit

Free pool. Great service from a sexy bartender. + baseball on TV who could ask for more.

Neil Westfield

Has the feel of a real British pub. (I'm a Brit). Nice choice of beer. Food is styled on British pub food but is not that great tbh. Except the curry. That's really good.

Amanda Mitchell

Our local pub - good pub grub, good ambience, decent pricing. Only issue is music can be too loud at times.

Robert Scarlett

Wide range of beers and whiskeys.

Lucas Chomyn

Good pub

Alicia Marinache

A typical old town-small community pub. Service is always friendly and with a smile, the patio albeit small is overlooking the quiet Pearl St. Situated at the very heart of downtown Burlington (steps from The Village), is one of our favourite spots in the summer.

Jay Ben

Beer is cold, staff are friendly! Great place to go on a Friday or Saturday night

Ash Allsop

The top side of the poacher is great, the bottom side tends to over serve, if someone seems intoxicated why should I as a patron of your establishment have to tell you to stop serving them after their fourth yagerbomb with additional shots …

Denise Warner

Yummy food

Great hangout for the local crowd... a fav

Mike Terry

Great pub in Burlington. The food is always great and the atmosphere is very authentic for a pub. Stared to have some craft beer on draught too recently. Great small patio in the summer. Definitely stop by if you are hungry and for a chill spot for a pint.

My local that isn't so local. Been going here for roughly 20 years.

Ross Noble

Good staff, comfortable setting and our order came quickly. I'll go back again for sure.

Food is great, but it''s very small, NO DISABILITY ACCESS and the bathrooms are not that clean

Kevin Greenough

My wife and I were out for a ride and stopped for lunch on their patio. The inside was the perfect feel of a traditional English pub - even with the old crowd having a pint watching soccer! …

Wendy Weppler

We love the Liver Dinner Special Wednesday night's for $11.95. It's grilled to perfection! New upholstery has raised the comfort level indoors and in the summer its our favorite patio.

Douglas Barr

Good people good service great prices

Brad B.

Laid back, but still safety compliant, great, helpful staff, really well done.

Rejean Rivard

GREAT selection of beers, and good food. The service was certainly friendly but a tad slow/disorganized, but still friendly. The prices are also pretty good actually, and the patio is great. Inside is loud, but comfortable.

Syd E

Wings were good

sean cox

Great pub nice people!

Rusifee the Cat

Fun place, great atmosphere. Ambient and cozy. I haven't tried the food, but the beer is cold. Patio is great in the summer. I'd give 5 stars if they got rid of the sickening musty smell that hits you like a slap in the face when you walk in.

Corene McLaughlin

Great service!!!

Josh Hisey

Not served for no reason, all completely legal:(

Jay Fillion

Great beer prices...awesome staff and nice little basement with pool tables.

Grace Anne Wilbur

Good food. Typical dark pub atmosphere. We were there 2 weeks ago, and this time the server remembered that I don't want peppers in my salad. I was surprised and amazed that after only one previous visit, she remembered that. We'll definitely go back soon.

Will Craig

Its ok for a pub. You have to go to basement for washrooms; so no good for old or disabled folks.

Brandon Ramsundarsingh

Atmosphere is friendly. The food is off the hook. The prices are beautiful.

CanadianJeeper57

Great food and evolving beer selection! Want a burger, grab a amazing poacher burger..not fancy just delicious!

Jeff Inglis

Best pub in North America

David Hvisc

Huge selection of whiskey and scotch, decent beers on tap, and an old school pub, through and through. Definitely part of Burlington throughout the years, and have been frequenting it for two decades now. Parking can be a tough go when it's particularly busy, especially on weekends.

Ulfar Gudjonsson

Great atmosphere. Small with outdoor deck. Menu limited but good food. Service good. Great location down town Burlington.

Joshua Reynolds

By far one of the more classic "pubby" pubs in Burlington You can't go wrong here any day of the week. Cheers

Trevor c

Solid place bartender manager Jade is the best

Betty Goodchild

I have been frequenting the Poacher for over 20 years. For 17 years my late husband would go to the Poacher every day around 4:30 pm to have a pint or two on tap and share conversation with many retired men. He and I and many of our …

Mike Sukhu

Nice quaint spot

Peter Langer

Good grub, service was quick even with our large group.

Dylan Bochno

I ordered a gingerale and was served a coke instead , I also found a hair in my bangers in mash and yes the mash was cold as well ????

Bob B

Katie was exceptional!

Anna Katrine Higeli

We went for food. I don't eat meat so I ordered food from the vegetarian section on the menu. The veggie burger to be exact. Which comes with a side of soup, fries or mashed potatoes. Well you'll assume the soup as a side on the vegetarian …

George Espinola

Outdated pub. Food is not great.

Ryan Gray

Food and service were both amazing. Highly recommended.

Tim L

Great place good times

Julia Therriault

This pub while friendly and comfortable needs major repairs. The urine smell going down to the basement is overpowering. No accessible washrooms, so I can get down but not back up. Carpetis very old and worn, tables are sticky from shellac put on years ago. Outside is nice if you can find an umbrella. Come on, let's find more than 2 umbrellas and instead of securing them to a railing, how about where there suposed to be. In a hole in the table. Great spring rolls, but that's hit and miss, food so so. Give me the Palermo anyday.

James Murrant

Good times .....very friendly place !!!

Jeremy Munro

Good people

Jessica Couch

Good spot and nice patio outside. Service is good and very friendly. However, the bathrooms need alot of work, only one toilet working and no toilet paper in the womens.

Peggy Churey

Old style pub, good atmosphere but furnishings are run down. Server was friendly and attentive. 2 dart boards for those who may be interested.

Carine Hemanscariehem09

Great patio good food great staff great location

Big R

Nice pub with great atmosphere

David Armiss

Best place on the planet, great people, brilliant bartenders, and no holds barred jokes, if you're offended easily, learn to take a joke

Slobodang

Cool spot, good food.

Jean-Michel Pranno

Likely the most long lasting and authentic pub in Burlington. Not sure, but it sure does feel like it. Great selection of scotches and whiskeys with a regular clientele that adds to the authentic feel. Service is great, friendly and attentive.

Frank Pulis

The best kept secret is the poacher basement in the city

Eric Malcew

In my humble opinion, The Poacher is THE best pub in Burlington. I love the atmosphere and you get proper pours all night. Not to mention Jaeger on tap.

D S

Menu was so so and beer section was below average

Leslie Giles

Visited on A Sunday for Lunch. Food was ok. Nothing great. Had fish and chips. Charged more than the price on the menue so be cautious when paying. Overall not too impressed with experince. Also over priced.

Andrew Binns

Great food. Cozy traditional pub

Miss Fitz

Excellent food and service consistently maintained for as far back as I can remember. Our home away from home.

John O'Connor

would give 0 star but can't denied my mom service and she's 53 lol would not recommend this place to anyone

Wayne H

Food was the standard pub fare nothing exceptional. Had the house soup and beef dip sandwich. Soup was a little watery for my liking but ok. We were there on a Monday night and only a couple of other people there so service was good.

Brendan Payne

Had a solid beer selection. The peameal bacon chicken sandwich I had was pretty tasty.

essentialone4life

Place smells the only thing nice about the spot is the outside seating that is away from the bad music blaring out of the speakers.

Stephanie Toering

Lots of fun but be sure to keep track of your belongings - especially your coat!

Mike Russill

Poacher is the poacher. Awesome as always

Rhonda Wilson

It's a real pub ... A little smelly, dark wood, darts... Clearly a regular, local crowd. Very friendly service and good ol' pub grub. They are authentic and not trying to be anything else but a pub...

Rob

Ordered the special of the day horrible portions think I was hungrier when I left than when I walked in. And then the waitress messed up on the bill twice. Will never eat there again I suggest nobody does

Dayle Berezuk

We were greeted immediately at the door, offered to seat ourselves after proof of vaccination was verified. Prompt service for drinks and food. Menu choices....not a whole lot but that …

Brian S

Good English bar food

Glenn Runciman

Real Pub good people

Thomas Jones

A lots of great times and experiences here a repeat visit site they also do have a club-like atmosphere in the basement where there is pool amongst other bar atmosphere

Levi Ondrik

Food was OK but the service was poor

Stephen Ledaire

This place is disgusting, smells horrible, there were bugs crawling on the walls and the ppl working in the bar look just as dirty as the bar itself. Very unhygienic all around.

Marietta Baglieri

Love the Poacher .. meaty BLT .. excellent fish n chips .. samosas -- yummy and service, da best!

Good place for activities

Community style british style pub in Burlington with the ambience of actual London pubs. You'll get the majority of british foods their pub fare menu. Most surprising was their "french fries", crispy outside and fluffy on the inside, add …

Great local bar

Troy Zieman

Classic pub fare, good service, and friendly atmosphere

The only real British pub in Burlington, no matter what the owners of other bars might say. Great 20oz pints including lots of craft brews, rotating cask ale, same friendly English owners for 32 years, simple but well executed menu, great …

Jwd Tys

BEST FISH AND CHIPS THAT I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME

Nick Bourne

Good pub food with Ok service. The patio is nice.

Anita Caven

Had a great time playing pool here!

Christian Spavins

Best pub in downtown Burlington, apps and food is great, prices are reasonable, and never an issue with ordering drinks. Unfortunately, this venue also employs Dragon Security which is why this review is only 2 stars. Brought a group of 12 people (with reservation) and one of the members of our group was deemed too intoxicated to enter. That's fine - that's his job. Unfortunately the unreasonable part came when the drunk left the group so the party could enter, and the bouncer STILL denied entry to 11 of us simply because the 12th one appeared to be too intoxicated. His justification was that we were guilty by association. So we all left, birthday girl now in tears. Here's the great thing about Dragon Security - they have a monopoly on bar security in this area and will radio ahead to their partners at other bars with your groups appearance, so that once you are rejected at one bar, you are blacklisted from all of them. We all ended up buying drinks from the LCBO and brown bagging it along spencer smith park. GREAT pub otherwise, come back here when its not a weekend night.
