Doing anything special for St. Patrick's Day?

They have some amazing local guitar talent perform there from time to time. Worth checking out.

Are babies/kids allowed?

No

hi we are riding in the MS Bike ride to raise money for the MS Society. We are interested in holding a beer and burger night. Do you do this? How does it work?

Hey Denise ...... I'm sure it would work seamlessly. I can't think of a better venue.

Love the atmosphere and the staff. Great outdoor seating, lush gardens and lawn, and great service. I don't know why more people don't take advantage of this great spot.

A large group of us - 17 in fact - gathered here for the live music, drinks and a bite to eat. The live music was excellent, Andy was on point as usual. The service was weak but the kicker was that half an hour into our evening my sister was taken aside by one of the servers and told that the kitchen was out of commission! We now had to find an alternative venue to feed 17 people on short notice. Many thanks to the Sawmill in Chemainus, who with an hour and a halfs notice on a Friday night, seated our entire group in a private room.

I would probably say 7 out of 10. The food was pretty good but no salad or even choice of salad with my steak sandwich and one small piece of tomoato in the donair. Still cash only which is a pain, but apparently that is going to change soon.

Simple and relaxing, somedays just what you need from this charming local countryside pub. This is my go to beer and a burger pub near home and perfect for a lazy Saturday afternoon. Tucked off the main road in Saltair located in a heritage building amongst the trees. When you want good ole' pub food like the locals, consider Saltair Pub.

As we entered, the restaurant as smoky/hazy inside and virtually empty. We ended up only having a drink because several items on the menu were unavailable. It was also implyed that the cook was not interested in cooking so we drank our beverages and left. The music was good.

Under new management! Don’t bother. Dropped by this afternoon. Totally ignored by the staff. The place doesn’t look as if it’s been cleaned - cobwebs under the tables, windows are dirty and the glue form old posters on the windows still there. Walked out and will need a lot of convincing to come back. Maybe new management but same disappointment.

Terrible food, my burger tasted like it was from a run down concession stand at the beach. My partner got a donair which wasn't even a donair and tasted like it might give food poisoning. Service was mediocre, cook didn't seem to care.

Heard of new management. Looked at current reviews. Thought we'd take a chance. I usually don't complain however this was really bad! We had chicken wings that were covered in way too much batter.Most likely packaged frozen wings. The caesar salad was soaked in dressing with no croutons or parmesan cheese! I felt sorry for the waiter! You could see it on his face that he was embarrassed about the food. He didn't charge us for some items which was very gracious. The owners need a new cook and freshen up the menu. Not going back!

My wife and I had the pleasure to stop in to this neighbourhood pub, housed in the old Knight family homestead. We were lucky as it was rather quiet when we arrived for lunch and the service was prompt and the server very personable.We walked around the place, inside and out after our delicious lunch and certainly liked what we saw.I had been to this pub before, many years ago, and am glad to see it still in operation and it appears, they are doing a decent business.The food was good but a bit expensive, as were the drinks but all-in-all I recommend the Saltair Pub and Liquor Store. We will certainly return.

The food was mediocre. The waitress was clueless. The beer on tap was watery. While the live entertainment was good, it was far too loud for such a small establishment. Used to enjoy this place, but this was our last visit under “new” management. Sigh...

Great place off the beaten track! Really friendly locals and staff who happily chatted away a wet afternoon with us. The barmaid (who recognised my top from a gift shop in Tofino) was lovely! We stumbled across this place 'by mistake' but would happily go out of our way to visit again.

We’ve driven past numerous times always saying we should stop there some time, today was the day. Nice place, interesting history, Standard pub fare, good selection of local brews. It was a Thursday late afternoon and the place only had a few people this day but the new manager warned us that the place gets busy from the locals on Friday and Saturday nights.

The food was good. When we came in the place it wasn't too busy. It did take 10 mins before someone gave us a menu. Besides that the service was good. When the server came to the table my drink was over half full. When she turned away I finished the drink and started a timer. It took 5 mins for her to see my drink was empty which was not bad at all. Overall, we were here for 40 mins, had 3 appetizers which were all good. The Greek poutine is worth The try. The server talked us into desert which came shortly after. Overall the experience was good.. 55 bucks, not bad for a little house converted into a bar.
