    The brewery tour and tasting with Mark as our guide.
    He was extremely knowledgeable about the beer making process and the introduction of the fine beers offered at Shawn and Ed's. We enjoyed the experience very much.

    I visited this restaurant with a group of people. We all tried different dishes and everyone seemed happy with their meal. Nice service. The restaurant itself is lovely and comfortable. Looking forward to returning one day.

    Went to the Brain for the first time this weekend for beers with friends. Menu had quite a selection and prices were fair. The place had a good vibe. I'd come back for drinks again!

    Went here from a Wag Jag which included dinner and drinks at the Anchor Bar- really great value. Comedians were good. They did start much later than the 9pm advertised, but reservations went smoothly and we were promptly seated.

    I used to come here quite often before Covid , so it was nice to dine here today. The server was very nice with a good sense of humour. She also recommended certain items that I tried and liked. The cook was excellent at preparing very nice lunches for us. I had the soup of the day and Artichoke Dip with flat bread. The beer on tap, dark for me, was very good.. I will come back to this very nice , cosy pub.

    I came here for some pints with a friend.

    First the ambiance. It's a nice, slightly grungy old pub with dark wood paneling. Really cozy for a drink or to sit back with a good book.

    Their beer selection is excellent, including a few casks on tap.

    Overall a great spot for some mellow pints.

    I went here with a group of friends and had a great time. Service was also very good. The best part was they had extra food from a barbecue and fed the whole bar!! Great customer service! We will be back!

    We frequently go to this restaurant for staff lunches. The food is always very good, the service is very fast, the place is never too busy, and the prices are very good. Even when it has been busy, the service is still fast. Great for lunch at work!

    Let's just say, I too live 10 steps from the Go. On a frigid evening, a guy in a baseball cap invited me in on the promise of an army of brothers, I needed to be part of an army of 2. I'm getting ahead of myself, on my first entry I was greeted by a different guy in a baseball cap - so sad it had to be a dry afternoon, with a promise to return I bid them farewell.

    This is the place for eye candy, sports (boring), retro music funky soul kind of vibes, live music, cozy place with plenty of character, for those who don't know anyone and don't care, maybe care enough to make encounters and please however much the bartenders lend you their ear, don't mean they got time, so find another drunk. My budget doesn't allow for such luxuries, but I've been known to avoid the place now because I feel like a buzzkill.

    I miss the people. I now stay in, smoke my weed and fall asleep to the conversations from the patrons who are on their smoke break. Oh! Don't go before I mention the veiled disclosure I received from a former patron or potential voyeur. I just assumed it was about me, not sure still but that's what I felt. I only divulge your info/discussion to your friends, not enemies; my bad for never knowing the difference in my own life let alone in proverbial theirs. I will not repeat it in this review, you ruined a good thing.

    Highly recommend this place, too bad for the guy's comment or I'd camp there, Irish cream with coffee for breakfast, please.

    This Ain't Hollywood or 'The Saint' as folks call it, is arguably the best live music venue in Hammertown. A steady stream of great local and touring talent - some well known and many soon-to-be well known acts hit the stage here. Drinks are reasonably priced and the staff are the bomb! Best pint of 50 in town...
    The room and the sound is perfect for the bands who play here. As a career musician, I would say This Ain't Hollywood is solidly among the great Canadian rock dives!!

    I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere, $2 tequila shots all night and the free cover before midnight. Staff were efficient and friendly, music was good, and the crowd was upbeat. I would return back to Viva again!

    Average pool hall. A few specials through the week. But definitely a hang out for teens & people in their early 20's.

    Although I haven't been for a haircut, I've stopped in several times for a drink. Great vibe, cool space, great drinks. People are friendly and the bartender Frank is a gem! They've had a small outdoor seating area in the summer (temporary raised area on street) which is always fantastic in warm weather.
    A welcome bar on James Street.
