Reviews For Longwood Brew Pub & Restaurant

First time I've been here, and really surprised, it was absolutely delicious. We ordered the halibut and the special which was lamb ragu. Both were wonderful, and the service was great too. Spent about 40 each which includes the tip and actually feel like that was pretty darn good for what felt like a high end meal. Definitely worth going, We will be back. Our server recommended the blue cheese chicken and there was a fish taco on the menu that looked very inviting too.

What a great experience we had at the Longwood yesterday. Had family visiting from Ontario and we went there for lunch. Staff was very friendly and food was fantastic if you are in the area this is a place to check out highly recommend them. Thanks for the great dining experience

FISH TACO TRIO - 3 individual corn tortillas filled with citrus slaw, 1 with west coast cod, 1 with wild salmon, 1 with baby shrimp. Each topped with mango pineapple salsa & chipotle mayo. I really enjoyed the shrimp one, maybe because its so different than the usual fish taco. Recommend trying. Pub walk-in only no reservations. #fishtacos #codtaco #salmontaco #shrimptaco #longwoodbrewpub #nanaimopub #longwoodbrewpubandrestaurant #longwoodpub

This is a large restaurant and brewery. Great selection of brews, and cans to take home. I got the salmon burger and it was delicious. I got a flight and enjoyed the selection and tastes. I bought cans to go home to enjoy. My favorite was the berry beer. I had it in my flight, then got a pint, and took cans home. Servers were friendly!

Great restaurant. Nice decor with lots of windows and a fireplace. We came for late lunch and had a quesadillia, fish tacos and side of onion rings. The veggie quesadillia shell seems to be house made, it's both soft on the inside and crunchy on the ends. It was nice, I recommend it. She confirmed I wanted the yellow peppers. They add a nice bite, although, I don't mind a bit of spice especially when they add so much to the dish. We also took the waitresses suggestion and went for the fish tacos. Also pretty good and worth trying. I really like onion rings and they put a bit of a spin on them. We think they use a fish and chips type of better for them. Whatever it is, they were yummy and it was a good size potion, more than enough to share. Nice spot, I recommend it

Had a wonderful lunch here. Husband had the Curried halibut with prawns and i had the daily special. The daily special was to die for. I have never had the taste experience as i did with this meal. Will be back for sure and i pray they have that special again.

It's a hidden gem for sure. If you're looking for the good drinks, this is it! They made good cocktail, authentic taste, not too sweet, not too strong. And their local brew is fantastic. Also lots of choices for hard bar drinker. A surprise is they cook lamb-shank, one of the menu that hard to find in restaurants. The waitress was friendly and fast. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing time! The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, but what truly made our visit exceptional was our server, Sarah. She was absolutely perfect; attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without us even having to ask. The beer selection was fantastic, and I especially loved the Steam Punk, incredibly smooth and full of flavour. Whether you're looking for great drinks, excellent service, or just a fun night out, this place delivers. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back!
