Our server was friendly, funny, and fast! Definitely a nice lady! One guy in our group couldn't drink after a certain time because he's a pilot and she got him a last minute shot in seconds basically! We didn't get food but I'm sure it would have been decent! The bathrooms on the main floor broke/flooded so we had to move out of the middle floor. We settled up and went upstairs but none of the tables were bused yet so we decided to chug our beers and hit the road.

My sister and I went here a couple of weeks ago, we walked up and down the street before picking this place to meet more friends before the flames game. The blonde woman that seated us was pleasant, however, our server wasn't. The bar wasn't busy at the time, it took our server about 10 mins to greet us. When she did, she just came to the table and said "do you know what you want?", my sister and I just looked at each other. There was no "hi, how are you? These items are on special" etc. I've been in the industry for 10 years, FOH, and my sister has been in the industry for about 8 years, BOH. We got our drinks and waited for friends. Our server came back and asked if we wanted food, we said we would wait for our joiners. The server gave us a nod, but with an attitude and went and finished her food not far from us. I don't usually like to leave 'bad' reviews, but I like to leave honest ones. I won't state the servers name, because I don't want her to potentially lose a job, but the bar lost our business that night. I left a 10% tip on our two drinks as we felt like a burden to the server, and I texted my friends to meet us elsewhere. At the new place, three of their staff were welcoming, warm, and all thanked us as we left. I'll give the unicorn another try, but I'm hopeful to get a server that cares just a little bit. I don't go out much and she killed our buzz while being there.

Came here while bar hopping one night. The people who work here are so friendly and it feels so welcoming. Good layout and great music. Not my favourite caesar I've ever had, but they were so kind about it. Would recommend coming here for a fun night.

The Fish Bowl Comedy Show every Wednesday is pretty rad, although I may be biased ;) The staff is incredibly friendly and the food is a reliable staple. Great brews and greater friends

I recently visited The Unicorn, and it was a fantastic experience! The ambiance was cozy, the drinks were top-notch, and the staff, especially bartender Nick, provided excellent service. Nick's tight jeans may be a quirky touch, but his skills behind the bar are truly the highlight. Highly recommend for a great night out!

They hired a charismatic Irishman just to make sure the Guinness is pouring right. Money well

Thank you to the staff who went above & beyond when they found out that a customer was using my stolen credit card. It wasnt recovered but I so appreciate the effort you guys went to try and find the individual and letting prairie records know.

I went here with some friends. One of my friend had a severe seafood allergy and informed the server about her allergy. The server went back to the kitchen and came back and told us that "We do not do allergy check here". This was disappointing because we were excited to come here and try the food. They were not helpful and did nothing so we just paid for our drinks and left. Will never go back here again. Would not recommend with anyone with allergies.

Came in late night on a Friday night, got a table right away, not only was the atmosphere awesome, our server was also extremely kind looking into any questions we had. The manager, Alicia I believe, also came over & was beyond hospitable & kind, checking in on our service & drinks. Awesome place to checkout on Stephen Ave !!!
