Welcome Home
The Renfrew Pub is the homey gathering place for locals and visitors, both friendly and inviting, it’s the sort of place even first-timers swear they’ve been before. The waterfront pub and restaurant occupies an enviable spot, right next to the dock. The great room — with cathedral ceiling, gleaming 10-tap draught system, pool table and flat screen TVs — offers up micro-brews, tasty fare, and nautical charm.
The dining room’s French doors are left open on warm afternoons. Sprawling wrap-around patios let you follow the sun and offer panoramic views of the bay and bluffs. There isn’t a bad seat in this house. This is the spot to shed your shoes, grab a pint or glass of white, and enjoy a bite with friends. Don’t be surprised to see an eagle cruising overhead or a curious harbour seal popping up in the inlet to say hello.
A couple of things to note: There is no need to make a reservation to join us, we are a first come first serve establishment. Dogs are unfortunately not permitted on our patio. We are happy to adapt our meals to allergies and we take the upmost attention to detail when it comes to this.
Our Culinary Philosophy
At our restaurant, we believe in crafting meals that reflect the beauty of Vancouver Island’s seasonal bounty. Our menu is driven by the freshest, locally sourced ingredients, with a focus on sustainability and supporting local producers.
We are excited to introduce a new chef in the spring who will bring their own unique culinary vision to the table. Until then, our dedicated kitchen team continues to deliver the quality and creativity you’ve come to expect, with dishes inspired by the flavors of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
Stay tuned for exciting updates as we prepare for the next chapter in our culinary journey!
Sips & Bites
Our craft brews include crisp, cold favourites from right around here: Vancouver Island Brewery Hefenweizen, Sooke Ocean Brewery Renfrew Red Ale, Gladstone Brewery Pilsner, Hoyne Brewing Company Kolsch, Hoyne Brewing Company Dark Matter, Broken Islands Hazy IPA, White Sails Brewery Mount Benson India Pale Ale, Driftwood Brewery Raised by Wolves IPA, Phillips Brewery Dinosour Stone Fruit, and Phillips Brewing speciality Wild Renfrew Lager! To name a few… don’t forget to ask your server what is on Seasonal Tap!
Our food is all about quality with a fresh, homespun focus; sauces and gravies are built from scratch. If it can be made in-house, Chef Bear and his team take it on. The baked goods are handcrafted, fries hand-cut, and herbs pulled fresh. Choose from sumptuous burgers or seasonal boat-to-table seafood drawn from nearby waters then curated into a tantalizing menu.
