The Bear And Kilt

Great spot for a pint and a bite. We are here from the US and popped in on a rainy day. The staff is very welcoming and they have a great selection of local beers. And the food is terrific! We thoroughly enjoyed the poutine, soup of the day, and great salads but their traditional pub fare looks amazing. We may stop in again on our way home…

The bad: Service in this place is dreadful. I hear it's hit or miss, but in my experiences they are either short-staffed, in a bad mood, or a person who is serving should not be serving. More than one time at the B&K I have had to go to the bar to order food and get drinks. The good: The perfect dive bar ambiance and entertainment. Decent food. Cozy. The French Onion Soup is to die for. Highly recommend. Great array of games. Fairly priced.

A group of friends and I came by on a weekend afternoon for lunch; place was not even half full and had only one waitress working. From the time we were seated till the time our order was taken was almost 45 minutes. Having worked in the food industry I can get how difficult it can be to be the only one on the floor, but the level of service was appalling. Even after our order was taken it was another good 45 minutes until our food arrived. In between that, the waitress made it a point to go out of her way to tell us in a condescending manner that one of our items (a bison burger) had to be cooked until it was well-done and it would need 20-30 minutes. Not sure how true that was, but it was moreso the delivery that bothered us. Here's a tip: just because you start off with "not to be rude" does not make you come off any less rude. The food itself was ok, but to top it off, we had to split the bill and operate the card machine ourselves to pay the bill. We would've been better off hitting the A&W down the street.
