    A venue not to be missed whether visiting or residing in Victoria
    This small intimate club that holds approximately 130 is a wonderful experience
    The musicians are playing right in front of you with great seating serving excellent food
    The quality of live music is exceptional with many visiting and local musicians
    Highly recommended if you love Music unboxed

    Our daughter found this great place while searching for somewhere for our family to eat while off the cruise ship in Victoria. We have some in our family that needed gluten free options. The atmosphere was great and the food did not disappoint! The service was good and we spent way less on a delicious meal than others in our group who chose to eat in the more touristy places. There was something for everyone and we made good memories!

    Alas, thou hast chances upon great wilderness and serene purchase, made small of once burdensome arbor and
    is well in his cups.
    Soon a conflagration of luminous embers will make thine tubular meat a gastronomic revelation upon pointed stick.
    I say yay to thine tap of Boyle!

    We often go to Swans when we are in Victoria because of the atmosphere and our history there. So, we went again this past visit. And, yes, the beer is still good and also the lively atmosphere...however, I think the food quality has gone down. Our server was excellent and she keeps the review high. Next time though, I think we will go for a drink but eat somewhere else.

    Wow! We went for the Mondays 90's night and honestly I couldn't have had more fun. DJ was absolutely spot on and staff were all lovely. We were lucky to have been on a guest list as the line was over 20 meters long. Would suggest getting down as early as possible when they have events on!

    A great place! A must stop when in Victoria, BC. Taylor was our server, and she was fabulous. There was live music when we were there, and it was really good music! Your typical Irish Pub..... F-U-N!!!! Great atmosphere, a very fun time. The service was great, Taylor was awesome, it was a very fun time!

    If you are looking for great live bands that play country music all night long then this place is for you. Seemed to be a variety of age groups when we were there. Very friendly staff. Walking distance to downtown hotels.

    We had heard good things about this pub. However, from the moment we were greeted by the lovely Laura until the time we left, it was a wonderful experience which exceeded expectation.
    The food was sublime, the wine was excellent and the service was exemplary. Thank you, ladies. We’ll be back. Ann & Mike xxx

    We researched bars to go, in Victoria, on our last night on an Alaska Cruise, and Paparazzi was the chosen one, after dinner at the Cactus Club ? Mark, at the bar, was more than attentive and welcoming, suggesting shots for us to try ! Seth, while quiet in the background, was cordial and polite, allowing us to photograph them. Am planning a side trip, from Seattle, in the new couple of months, looking forward to visitingthe Paparazzi ! We went on a
    Wednesday, which Was Not a busy night, but We didn't notice !

    This is probably one of the best clubs in Victoria. They have not the best Soundsystem though so make sure that you go on a night where they rent out the void Soundsystem. The staff there
    is pretty nice, shout out out to the usual doorman he’s very friendly and chill. They have two big industrial fans in the club that run all night if you need to cool off, just ask the staff for where they are. If you want the best sound, then stand in the middle of the back of the Dancefloor floor. The stage is raised above the main dance floor, so the DJ is always raised up And there are two levels of dance floor Including stairways to lounges on the upper most floors on each side of the club, I’ve never been to the one on the left, but the one on the right usually has enough room and it has a great view of the club. I write another review that says that they don’t like LGBT people But that’s a complete lie and if you really feel that way, then just go to Paparazzi instead. I’ve been there over 20 times and never had any issues whatsoever. The sound is a bit loud though so you might want to ask for a free pair of earplugs if you didn’t bring your own. Have fun guys.

    On a tour to Vancouver Island, dropped us off in Victoria about 12;30. The Rooftop Surf Club is above the Sticky Wicket. Nice place to lunch on a sunny afternoon. Kinda quirky in that it has a sand volleyball court adjacent.
    Wife had a steak and watermelon salad and a mojito. I had a beer and a Canadian pizza with Canadian bacon, sausage, and pineapple. Food was good, drinks were cheap, weather was beautiful.

    This is the pub on the campus of the University of Victoria in the Student Union Building. Very decent food, very decent drinks, good atmosphere, especially on Fridays.

    Pub style inn. Nice for those liking English style beer "holes." a bit too rustic for me.
    Note that young children are not allowed there.
