Michael Hanrahan

Food is good and I love the local live entertainment they showcase.

Mariah Casavant

It was okay. Seemed like the staff was all in highschool with the drama and the way the acted. I got the beef dip and it was very dry and honestly had no flavor

We visited the Occidental last year during Billy Barker Days. We were staying at the Ramada Limited and it was about a 5 to 10 minute walk (I'm on the slower side). The wings and apps were excellent and the local beer cheap (3$ on special if I recall right). The service wasn't the best that night but I believe our waitress was new. They had karaoke which is fun and sang country the whole time - not my style but still a fun time! The Occidental is definitely a must-see if visiting Quesnel. Will be back again

Andrew Woodcock

Best aps big selection

Gadgetboy

Always surprised at how good the food here is. I recommend the cheesesteak, and order a side of their au jus (which should have its own food group).

David Oickle

Good food, great company. Will visit again!

J SS

Great food, great atmosphere, great people and great show put on.

Ian Skorscha

(Translated) Typical place of the Canadian routes. Good music and food, a must stop in the city. (Original) Típico lugar de las rutas canadienses. Buena música y comida, parada obligada de la ciudad.

Best place to have really good entertainment and delicious food at the same time. Come for the food and good service and stay for the music. Great artists from across whole Canada and the food is delicious too. Follow them on Facebook to stay tuned with their events.

Kailee Sissons

Poifection! Absolutely Perfect!

David Yule

The hotel is very popular at lunch time with families with young children. This is the cities most popular live music venue. The hotel is very supportive of local talent as well as popular acts from around B.C. One of the newer offerings is a mussels dish. This has a very tasty broth. The seating also allows configurations for any size group. The pool table has been removed to offer a new more private seating area. The Hotel continues to accommodate guests suggestions.

Curtis Yager

Newly renovated. Heard the food was good.

Mike Alborn

Erik Wray

Mechanical bull. Drinks. People. It's alright but one of few places to go for a good time.

Classic pub food and it was delicious. They had to close early though as they're so short staffed. But I'd totally go back.

Friendly staff

Great food. Awesome friendly staff

Greg Valou

I played a show here on tour recently and was really impressed. Clearly, a lot of passion and integrity went into creating this venue. Management is friendly and professional, the sound and lighting systems are top-notch, and the onion rings are fantastic. Highest recommendation!

Xtremelee72

Went for a Concert and had a table by the the Smoking pit so we froze all night as the door was opened constantly. The singer couldn't be understood were we were sitting but the band and the backup singers sounded good. The food was really good especially those Cauliflower thingys they serve.

Wonderful experience...meet so many nice pepole there.

Charlie Myles

Went to the Occidental for lunch. On the owner's suggestion, we had a (locally sourced) burger - delicious, along with a craft beer. The food was great, service was friendly, and prices were good. As well, you get a great view of the pedestrian bridge over the river.

Mel Torgerson

Great place, great food! Holly is the best!

Bob Ramage

Rob Van Verdegem

Always awesome food

Sue Whitehorn

Fun and friendly place

Clare Gordon

We were in Quesnel for the Dean Brody concert and tried to go to the restaurant next door to the Occidental. They were closed due to a private function, but they recommended the Occidental. I had never been before, but was really impressed! The food was amazing and the staff was fun and friendly. We will definitely be back! I hadn't reviewed a restaurant before and before I knew it, I had only given you 1 star. This was an accident, but didn't know how to fix it. I was so impressed with Quesnel. I had always just driven by. It was nice to stay for a weekend!

Beverley Klassen

Waitress Mikayla was awesome

Ian Johnson

First time in Quesnel and I took in a show of the local Foxxie Follies Burlesque troupe. The Occidental is an awesome venue for live shows, great staff, good food, and some spicy jalapeño peppers on their nachos that will set the back of your mouth on fire. 5 stars

Selena Goddard

Food is excellent and the staff is super friendly and fun. ????❤????

Travis Prince

Food was delicious price was awesome with 6.50 for appetizers. Highly recommend

Donna Christiansen

Terrific food and service.

Bdansan

7pm on a Monday was quiet. Prompt service from the fellow running the bar. Barkerville Brewery on tap. I ordered the jalapeño burger based on numerous recommendations from friends and was not disappointed. They use local beef here and it was prepared to perfection. This restaurant is more of a cabaret with a large stage and frequent live entertainment.

brittany idiens

Love the food and the entertainment

Thomas Preston

Peachy

Keith Evans

Entertainment was good. Had fun with friends. Experience with bar staff was lacking because I had to use debit which apparently was an issue. Will give it another try in fairness to the owners. Maybe my experience next time will permit a higher rating. I understand the debit policy however the way it was presented to me was pretty harsh. I am not a child so the condescending attitude was quite unnecessary. However I still left a 25% tip. #LetsGuide

J K

Great menu choices and the food is amazing, very friendy and helpful service. The best local family run business in Quesnel, and they host so many fun and entertaining events. If you can only check out one place in while in Quesnel make it the Occidental.
