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.
