The RUDEST bar tender ever. We were 5 people Friday night April 5. I came to the bar tender for the first drink and asked if he had an American IPA on tap that day. He said he wasn’t sure. I asked to check if he did have it. He replied in an annoyed manner “just read the f…. menu, ok?” I was shocked and thought maybe I overheard him. My friend was also shocked and confirmed that he said the F-word and acted very rude for no reason. I didn’t tip for that. In 20 min I ordered meat sticks and didn’t tip again because he looked annoyed that he had to do anything. He brought the sticks, noticed I didn’t tip him, and arrogantly said: “don’t bother me anymore, ok?, you’re not tipping, I’m not serving”. My company supported me that his behavior was way out of norm and had no reasoning. We left soon after such service. Neither of us have ever met such rudeness in any bar in Europe or Canada. Who can expect tips for such behavior and attitude?

Food and drink was fabulous! Service was fabulous! However, the worst dj I've experienced in a really long time.

Great place for drinks, the staff are solid and sometimes chatty too. A great pub in Victoria and I have been visiting this place since it opened... A great selection in gin

Go to smith's pretty often, good place to drink and chat with
We were seated right away, got an order for beers, then we sat there for 40 minutes before any further acknowledgment. We were quite hungry at this point, but simply got the bill and left to find food elsewhere. It was pretty busy in there, perhaps they were understaffed, but our server passed by us multiple times. :(

My boyfriend and I went into the pub recently to get drinks and dinner, when the server came up to us, we ordered our drinks and told her we would need another minute with the menu before ordering our food. The server proceeded to wait 30 minutes before coming back and only doing so after she noticed my boyfriend’s drink was empty asking if he would like another and we said we just wanted the bill. As a server I am extremely disappointed with the service, and will not be returning, just some food for thought for your management team

Not sure of the waitress' name but she was an absolute angel. So sweet, so friendly. We went out a few times for cigarettes, and to my car, and she was totally fine with us coming and going. 10/10 would recommend this place:)

They have an outdoor courtyard style seating area, which was lovely. The weather that day was perfect for being outdoors.Our waitress was very attentive to all our needs and was very knowledgeable about the food and drinks they provide.Our food was hot and fresh and quite tasty. The Katsu chicken sandwich on sourdough was delicious and I also really enjoyed the garden salad.My friend had the Smith burger which was on feature. He said it was excellent, and the french fries were cooked to perfection imo prepared golden with just the right about of salt.We had a few fancy cocktails with one large circular ice sphere, again our waitress was very knowledgeable of what was in the drinks, and they were excellent. I would certainly recommend this place to others.Parking: There is plenty of street parking and conveniently there’s an underground Parkade right next door.

10 of us ran in here after work for our friends' birthday and it was honestly great! To me the hotdog+beer situation is just perfect. Everyone else's food looked great. Had a bite of the taquito and it was awesome, although much much heavier than I expected it to be.Drinks were perfect and timely, great service especially for our larger group. Highly recommend
