Since 1894 this pub and restaurant, located 17 miles from Victoria City Hall, has welcomed weary travelers and local revelers alike.

People like this place, and have since it opened about two decades ago. Some folks will tell you it's the hearty pub grub that makes Maude's so popular, others will assert that the beer selection makes it great. But probably the single most important factor in the pub's success is its staff – they are unfailingly...

Perhaps the most authentic of all of Victoria's authentic British and Irish pubs, the Penny Farthing owes much of its ambience to its atmospheric Oak Bay location. There's no place more British than Oak Bay Village, except Great Britain itself. The pub is carefully designed, with fireplaces, etched glass, dark woods,...

The pub features a bar as well...
Smuggler's Cove Pub & Liquor Store

Each has its own persona, and the vast majority of them are clean, fun places to have a quick meal or a couple of drinks. Smuggler's Cove is no exception, and it has the added bonus of an exceptionally...
