After years of planning and work to restore the historical building that inspired the brewery, The Publican House restaurant and tap house is opening its doors to you! The 170-year old building has been reborn using original elements wherever possible, with a modern twist to create a unique and inviting space.

With a focus on local, we have incorporated a new spin to pub food featuring a wood fired pizza oven, high quality fresh ingredients and recommended beer pairing options with daily specials.

The bar features all of our Publican House beers, crafted on-site, along with new specialty brews developed monthly and available exclusively at The Publican House. Rounding out the menu will be locally produced craft beer, speciality cocktails and wine from around the world.

The Publican House; your neighbourhood pub, built on history.

Great appetizers, we had the Spinach dip and the Cauliflower bites- both delicious! But if you get the chance try the Cuban eggrolls-the best!

The service was excellent! As well the food was very good too. My only complaint was we had their special... steak sandwich... and while it tasted great, if there was 2 oz of steak i would be surprised... at $24 i would have expected more.
