Reviews for Penny Farthing Public House in Victoria, BC
This place has a traditional British pub vibe. Kind of dark, with somewhat old beer smell inside. Even tables feel a bit sticky... like they weren't cleaned properly. And all of this gives kind of special charm to Penny Farthing. Customer service was awesome.Young ladies were quick, polite and very attentive to our requests. Drinks and food came rather quickly. It was a service with abig smile. Their West Coast chowder with smoked salmon was the best we ever tried. We were glad we decided to try this pub. Read more
I haven't been here for years but remember that it is very nice. Outside sitting, a bit pricey but tasty. The staff are very... helpful. Read more
You pay for the ambiance. We came here for happy hour on a Wednesday. I ordered the raw shucked oysters 3 for $10 and the... calamari for the same price. My wife ordered the stuffed yorkies for the same price. The oysters were small and average tastingwith the delicious red wine vinegar sauce on the side. The calamari was your run of the mill appetizer. The decor and thebuilding is certainly unique and has its charms with the caricatures of rugby players. It was a one time experience. Read more

For my 5th visit in March 2022 I had a turkey pot pie, excellent! This is my 4th time to this pub and I love their foods. The... Shepherd Pie was of a big portion. Like other Vancouver pubs in mid-June they ran out of Guinness too, but EUFA was on and Iwatched Italy won over the Swiss. Service is excellent as I am receiving smiles from the servers. I will be back next time Ihop over to Victoria from Vancouver. Nov 16, 2021 visit: Salmon Burger tasted good and healthy. Read more
I nearly had a fantastic experience. The food, atmosphere, and staff were absolutely wonderful. I arrived and started walking up... the wheelchair alley entrance on the side with my 85 year old grandma. Unfortunately once we got to the door we saw a signprinted on it that said it was closed. We had to go around the front and carefully make our way up the stairs. Other than thatinconvenience it was a very nice time. I would definitely recommend the pommes frites parmesan. Read more
Amazing breakfast experience! The eggs Benedict is perfect, and the jam stuffed french toast is light and fluffy without being... overly sweet. We sat at the patio and it was very nice! Great customer service as well - highly recommended for out of townersvisiting Oak Bay area. Read more
Atmosphere seemed great. Went in for a quick drink/appetizer. Server came quickly and took our drink order and then our food... order. Drinks arrived promptly, however food did not. Waited for over 40 minutes, nobody came over to check in or offer anotherdrink. Ended up finding our server, paying and leaving. Not the best experience. Quite a disappointing experience. Read more
