Jolly Coachman Pub & Liquor Store

I recently visited Jolly Coachman for the first time. I had an overall enjoyable experience and I highly recommend this local gem!nn•VIBES/ATMOSPHEREnThe atmosphere was laid back and the place has a fantastic old school pub feel which is exactly the way I like a pub to be. They also have a lovely patio with some misty water spray to keep you cool in the summer. I didn’t sit on the patio, but it sure looked nice.nn•SERVICEnThe service was excellent. The waitress the very tattooed young Asian lady was fantastic. She was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, super fast, and made me feel welcomed and comfortable. She checked on me the exact correct number of times I get annoyed by waitresses who repeatedly pester, this one had good instincts and was on point. My order was taken immediately and my drink/food arrived fast. As a smoker who has no incentive to aimlessly hover in/around a pub with no smoking areas, speed of service is very important to me.nn•DRINKSnThey have a pretty extensive drink menu with lots of choices. The variety of cocktail choices impressed me as a cocktail drinker. I ordered the Blue Hawaiian. While it was more teal-green than blue and not as sweet as my sweet tooth alcohol taste desires, you couldn’t taste the alcohol but could feel it. And that is everything a successful cocktail should be. I will definitely have to be back to try more of their summer cocktails and ask for them to be extra sweet!nn•FOODnI noticed other people eating burgers and being the nosy follower that I sometimes can be, I thought I’d go for the burger special. But when the waitress said the burger is a regular burger, I decided to order the calamari instead my burgers need to be irregular otherwise I’m bored, there’s a limit to my sheepish follower behaviour after all. The calamari was delicious! It was warm, fresh, crispy, flavourful and a large portion. The tomato & green onion salsa that came with it was sour and salty; tasty and refreshing. The sauce was also delicious, although if you dip every calamari piece, you will run out of sauce on your last 3 pieces. I recommend they add a tiny bit more sauce to ensure that all calamaris are successfully dipped. This calamari was the crispiest calamari I’ve ever had in my life, which was a pleasant surprise. Even the squeezed juice from my lemon and the tomato pieces didn’t and couldn’t make this calamari soggy. I bet you could pour buckets of water on this calamari and it wont lose its crunch. A waterproof non-soggy calamari. It seems I have searched my entire life for such a thing. And now I’ve finally found it!

Came in during the week for our first time and it was very busy. Our server Meghan made sure that we were seen and taken care of despite being the only one on. She was very knowledgeable about the menu, checked for allergies and even got us on a first name basis, which impressed us! We appreciated the kind service and delicious food and will definitely be back!

I used to go to the Jolly Coachman every week and I had such a good time there. Always great stuff friendly people and good atmosphere. I went back recently for another visit and found out that I've been missing a lot. What a wonderful place to go and meet people. Great food and really good service. I highly recommend the Jolly coachmen. And if you're lucky you might even see this magician there

The service was fast and friendly. We went on a Friday night and it was really busy but we never had to hunt down the waitress.nnThe food came out in a timely manner and we were a table of five. Portions were huge and a good value for your dollar.nnReturned on a Sunday night for dinner. Same good service and huge portions!

GREAT atmosphere, huge portion of food and timely service! The waiters weren't the types that harrasssed you every 2 minutes!nnDidn't eat it all since the portion sizes were big, but the food was great! Go for it!
