The Barking Parrot Bar

Extremely disappointed. I waited nearly an hour for a basic to-go order on a slow night for the bar. My food was left behind the bar unattended wasn’t rung in to-go, then had to wait for it to be boxed took 15 minutes, and was told the food had been remade as it had sat out for a half hour. It was not remade and we received cold, dry nachos, a soggy Caesar salad, soggy & cold fries and very poorly put together chicken sandwiches. My wife & I are usually very laid back about these types of things, but the food & service were very poor. The staff outside of two people seemed very young and unorganized. Not a good experience.

Clean facility, friendly staff, great food, good prices and of course you can't beat that view on the huge deck! I've been here many times and I would suggest not getting any beer on tap. There is very little to no carbonation in any of their beer...flat beer is disgusting! It's happened several times, you think I'd know better. I'll definitely return because I do really like it there except I'll only order beer in bottles from now on.

Today, Apr 2, I celebrated my birthday with a friend during the day 1st and we golfed at St Andrews. Could have stopped in anywhere after golf for lunch but we decided on Barking Parrot after 18 holes played. They really need more servers here on a Sunday! And more attentive servers! Waited a very long time to just see our server as an introduction being in there and finally ordered after I had to flag anyone down to see us after our patience was running out. Then I had to ask another guy if our food order was ready as it was another longer than average wait for the food to come out. Sure enough it came out right away after asking on it as our supposed to be server did not just go and check on it! Luckily it was still hot enough when served. Then she did not come and ask if all was ok! Is this NOT the very least a server can do??? The steak sandwich was good but what if it weren't??? Maybe I wanted another water or one more beer to make it two max??? This was not that enjoyable today and even less so having to write a negative on it. The 2 stars is cause at least the steak was good.

I had your fish & chips McCain super fries and the fish is not fresh it's shipped frozen to you and when served it looks like 2 egg rolls and dry. It cost nothing to mount a proper fry cutter to a wall. Cut a potato and serve fresh crispy fries. You'll never catch me there again! Supply your chef with fresh ingredients. You're a restaurant not a bloody McDonald's. As a person that's passionate about cooking. Huge disappointment!

Had a late lunch here on April 23/23 and I have to say that Vincent is a SUPER STAR! He filled all the roles. He bussed tables, brought everyone their food, took food orders, made sure the pub was clean at all times, wrote down what alcohol was needing to be ordered, went behind the bar as needed to pour drinks and more! He absolutely hustled the entire couple hrs we were there. Incredible work ethic and this young man deserves recognition in a huge way!!!!

Came here for supper, was extremely disappointed. Perhaps the worst meal i have had in a very long time. Had the beef dip, but both the sandwich and the au jus were completely flavourless and quite honestly disgusting. Girlfriend had the beef quesadilla, which had quite literally no cheese on it. Others in the party were all also severely disappointed. Took 15 minutes for our server to come to our table initially, and then only came by again to give us the bill. Will not be returning that's for sure. Should have read the reviews before going but was recommended by someone at a winery so went without checking.

They got Penticton by the short and curlies. A monopoly on the only place to go have drinks and hit the dance floor. I think given that, they don't have to try very hard. Music was good and kept people dancing, drinks were were ok. Little pricey for what they were. No table service, so had to head up to the bar for drinks with people pushing and cutting line. This is an update, manager was concerned about our experience which shows they care. Awesome to see, thank you.

The first time I came here was the day my boyfriend and I pretty much started dating, so this place brings back a lot of memories. Whenever we are in town we always come here at least once. The wings are my favorite food item. They are decent with lots of sauce. I've had some other things like the tacos and pizza and they are alright. Drinks wise I've had the pina colada and enjoyed it. Tonight I asked for something that had both coffee and liquor in it so they put together something special for me which I really appreciated! Wine menu is a bit small. I had the blended red and it was so-so.

Always love coming here for the pool tournament in the Lakeside hotel. Would be nice if they had more gluten free food options on the menu. Great place for dancing and drinks.

Great spot with large patio right on the lake. Amazing views of the mountains and water! Perfect people watching spot for the seawall walkway. Food is great for pub fare. Unfortunately store service at every step. Definitely will come again but need to leave time for the service.
