Pipers Pub

We visited @piperspubnanaimo on a cold evening, to try their advertised 2 for 1 halibut and chips on Monday night. My hubby got their sirloin burger with cheese and a garden salad with poppyseed dressing. The burger patty was juicy and had a good char flavor, seasoned well! I really enjoyed his salad, especially the delicious dressing! For myself I ended up with the cod fish and chips, because to my disappointment, I was told that the 2 for 1 halibut was $30 and I wouldn't get extra fries with it regular 2-piece halibut and chips is $29. After sorting through the irony of the "deal" I did quite enjoy the cod I got, it was crunchy and so juicy inside. The fries were very fresh and wonderful! Overall we enjoyed our meal, service was friendly and attentive. I just wish the website were updated to not mislead on daily specials!

Went for my first time yesterday, pub was great! Servers were really friendly and the food was great. Had a shrimp popcorn taco and it was delicious. Atmosphere and the inside were really nice. They've got some really cool decorations around the pub and it's very spacious inside. All in all great food, clean washrooms and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend to friends or family.

They make a great caesar, food is ok. Doesn’t have a cozy warm pub feel though. 5-22 Caesar salad good, steak bites more tasty than tender but ok.

Decor was good. Background Music was ok. Prices are a wee bit higher than other places with more attention to the food prep. Waitress was exceptional and likely the best part of the visit. Food was mediocre and could have been so much better with minimal effort.

One of the best Caesars I have ever had and I have had them everywhere. Nothing special about it, just spicy and GOOD. Foods always good and the patio is one of my go to's because it's dog friendly ! Always so many lovely pups there plus can go for a walk at the lagoon after a couple drinks Perfect way to spend a summer evening.

After a long day of travel, husband and I were wanting to relax somewhere that accepted furry animals our doggo, not us!. Checking out some reviews, we also called ahead and checked out Piper's Pub on Hammond Bay. The person that answered was very helpful in letting us know that the restaurant did allow dogs on their patio. We got there around 7pm, and it was good to see lots of people were already having a meal. We were allowed to pick our seats, and our dog followed along. Points that day: Lots of parking Near a liquor store Large space inside Live music on Saturday evening Menu seemed standard, but solid on details. Customize options are available, especially for the burger selection. I got the macaroni and cheese with bacon as add on. The husband got a chicken burger, which I had a taste of. Chicken Burger: nice combination with the bun, seemed like a brioche. The chicken was good, not too heavy on the batter not usually my pick, but it was perfect for my husband. Husband said the fries "had a type of coating", adds "extra texture" that made the fries crispy. Mac and cheese: it was cheese enough for me- I liked the add-on suggested to us by Nick, which was the bacon. Really added extra saltiness but savory in flavor. I like bacon though, so I may be biased. I don't recoend the cheesiness and bacon for anyone watching cholesterol levels though! If you need to, I will reassure, it's not greasy. The bread was my favorite, it had this sweetness that I'm sure I'm not describing properly. Overall, they made us feel welcome, even with our dog. Great service for that. Communication was clear, Food wasn't too long of a wait, and we were quite hungry. I would come back again.

Loved the entertainment and atmosphere, but service was really bad. It took my husband going to get us drinks after sitting and waiting for 45min for anyone to come take any order. Then took another hour for someone to ask if we wanted to order food or drinks after asking if our area had a waitress and being told yes.

I have experienced Piper's Pub throughout it's many renditions and changes of ownership throughout the years and that is just context so does not reflect whom is currently operating it other than that. I cannot actually review because we were told their liquor license is now changed and does not allow minors so we had to leave and not eat here, even though we've done multiple times previously with "a minor". Historically this place has struggled, hence the multiple changes of ownership/ management so I just don't understand why a "pub" that is in essence, the only "neighbourhood pub" in this area for a fair distance would opt or allow a license change to this degree? I mean, a daycare is now being run in the opposite corner of the parking lot. We came here expecting to eat a nice early dinner as usual but were instead metaphorically ushered to the door. I don't understand the decision. Late night? Sure. Fill your boots and your cavernous most times empty pub.

Went here on a rainy night for supper. Lots of people in, always a good sign! Had our concerns when the server forgot our clamato juice with our liquor order, didn't know what the soup of the day was and didn't right our order down, but it wasn't justified. The food was delicious and exactly what we ordered. The French onion soup was one of the best that I've had, even the hubby liked it and he hates onions! The steak was cooked just the way I like and was very tender. Hubby had the crispy chicken clubhouse and aside from the bread not being toasted enough for him, he said it was quite good. Yam fries were an upgrade from regular fries for $3 more and they were good and plentiful. I had a glass of house white wine and hubby had a bottle of beer and clamato. Total with taxes but before tip was just over $55. Definitely going back here.

Beautiful building. It's kinda loud inside when its full, asked server to repeat a few things because we didnt catch it, she said it at the same decibel, she wasn't too friendly. Food got sent out fairly quick for how full the place was. Cellphone service is near nonexistent, so it's nice when you have people actually be present.
