About the restaurant

Please note: if your desired reservation time is not available, we hold lots of space for walk-ins.

We started Nonsuch to give back to our home, help grow our culture, and make Manitoba proud. We're proud to offer shareable plates with a focus on local ingredients as well as our award winning craft beer brewed in-house, just steps away from our dining room.

We make our beer. We make our food. But we founded Nonsuch to make your special moments. To appreciate your entire experience. From quiet, intimate gatherings to the grandest of celebrations, it's our honour to be in the heart of your moments.

We went on Christmas Eve for my daughter’s birthday. It was great to be able to find a place to celebrate so close to the holidays. Food was delicious and the service was great. Overall a very nice experience.

Excellent food and service! The restaurant was very busy. The staff handled it well and provided great service. The Cajun chicken and roast beef sliders were delicious. Winter Sangria was a hit. Kitchen staff seemed exceptionally busy with restaurant and take out orders. This is our favourite Earl’s location and we will definitely return.

Our one-of-a-kind Canadian themed sports bar & grill has an extensive menu of appetizers, entrees, drinks and amazing specials every night of the week. You’ll note our Canadian decor starts right when you walk up to our huge Inukshuk at our doors and continues throughout the restaurant in a “cheeky” Canadian fashion. We promise, when you come to The Canadian Brewhouse, you’ll instantly feel at home, because our house is your house…only we have way more TVs! You won’t find a better selection of screens anywhere for the sports you love! We even provide tabletop speakers for those nights when multiple sports and teams are playing.

The only disappointment was the instant potatoes and frozen peas , carrots and beans served with the prime rib dinner. Fresh would have been better. The prime rib was delicious but low end on the sides.

For a family get together for my son’s 14 birthday, it was a good experience. The food was good, came quickly and was good value. The only nuisance was getting to the washrooms from the restaurant, you either go down stairs and around or through an employee kiosk to get to them.
