    the manager was very unprofessional i got 3 separate bills and the last one was $4 so i didn’t end up tipping, on my way out she decided to say to me and my friends “thanks for the tip” as a bartender i was very offended. i decided to go back again and she told her staff not to serve me til last, i stood there for 30 minutes and did not get served so i ended up leaving.

    A friend and I came to eat here after watching a show at the Meridian (July 2/22). The place was packed and the staff were running around doing several things and made it appear effortless. They seemed like a good working team. Overall great service, friendly staff and good food!

    Came here a couple months ago ordered two pints of cold frosty Molson Canadian, found the environment is very dirty and some of the people at the bar were overserved and wearing pyjamas.... The head bartender, some tall guy who I think it was also doubling as dish pig washing pots was speaking very loudly and he was dropping excessive amounts of expletives. Acting a little "too cool for school" with his white Nike shoes and puma track suit we settled out bill and left for Rombys, don't think we're ever coming back to this rats nest.

    Great pub food. Homemade mozza sticks were amazing and the burger/fries were delicious. I would eat here again!

    My best friends and I went to Fiddler’s this past Wednesday and were pleasantly surprised by the amazing food, great atmosphere and excellent staff! In particular, our waitress Sarah was kind, friendly and made our dining experience a 10/10! Lots of delicious vegan options and great drink specials. Would definitely recommend!

    Great atmosphere. Great staff! Definitely seems to be one of the more visited spots downtown. But the food was really good bar food! The chicken and waffles are bomb! Price point is golden. This place all around a great spot to check out. Recommend trying it out

    Cozy, clean pub with a great tap selection. Service was good. Fish and chips for lunch were decent. Typical pub menu, reasonably priced. Will return.

    My wife and I visited on the 22nd of April for an event. Though EXTREMELY busy, the staff, remained calm and amazingly friendly. It probably took a bit longer, because the quality of the food was never compromised and exceeded expectations. Thanks to Melanie and our “‘Leaf” server for making it a fun experience, and for keeping our take-out, til after the show. Definitely a MUST TRY!!

  • 4/5 Giles H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very much a bar. Service was good and we were happy with our meals. The bacon wrapped jalapeños were very good. I would have given 5 stars if the place was cleaner

  • 5/5 Sandy M. 1 year ago on Google
    We decided to go here for supper because it is close to the Meridian Center..WOW! I cannot wait to go back. The staff were incredibly friendly and the food was delicious. They have an awesome menu to choose from.

    My girl paid 20$ for the jukebox just for them not to play any of her songs. Crowd is mostly underage youth or people in their 30s who are too old to be there. Drinks are decent and good prices. Pool is cheap!

  • 5/5 Ahmed D. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing little Bar/Club. Atmospheric and very energetic. Music choices are mostly good. Drinks are somewhat fair priced. Bartenders on the other hand, only one friendly bartender, and it's the man; the girl bartenders will rip u off if u keep ur guard down.

  • 5/5 Lyndsay M. 1 year ago on Google
    We came here on a Sunday for lunch after finding that the vegan restaurant we were supposed to go to was unexpectedly closed. We were actually so happy that we are here instead!! Delicious vegan options, all the food was hot, fresh and beautifully prepared. The server/bartender was lovely and super attentive which created a chill and welcoming vibe. We will be back!!

  • 1/5 Matheus B. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m there regularly, I know the bouncers and the DJ’s. The bartender (short brunette) was so rude because I didn’t tip her. If that was a proper drink I would. But she just opened a can of PBR. She embarrassed me screaming that I didn’t tip to everyone. She even said “I’m sure you won’t remember it so I’m not worried” Well, unfortunately that was my first and last beer of the night because of her attitude. Might consider going to different bars. That wasn’t the first time. Again, if that was a drink that required some skill I wouldn’t mind tipping.

  • 5/5 Kim M. 1 year ago on Google
    We used to go to Fiddler's Pour House all the time when I worked downtown but hadn't been there since 2016. We went again recently three times in the past month and the food has been amazing and delicious all three times. We try something new each time and each time it is delicious and worth heading downtown for.

  • 5/5 Steven D. 1 year ago on Google
    Been a couple times for drinks and grub. A wide selection of tapped beers and a few options for wine. Foods is pub fare, but it hits the spot. The service staff have been attentive and friendly. It’s a good spot to hand and watch a game, and with the roll-up windows would be a decent atmosphere is the summer.

  • 1/5 Kerry M. 11 months ago on Google
    Service was poor. It's a small place with a smaller menu for events, which is fine. We waited over an hour for our food & still never received it. People came in after us & got served before us!! I questioned the server earlier incase he forgot & was told everything was good...NOT. we had to leave for the concert & all we got was "I'm sorry" WOULD NEVER GO BACK!!!

  • 5/5 James T. 1 year ago on Google
    Myself and many others have been going her for over a decade. This place is great! Good food, good atmosphere, good prices and all around good times with good people.

  • 5/5 Derek T. 5 months ago on Google
    I went out for dinner and a few drinks with a friend from work. We had a good meal and the price was more than fair. The service was excellent more than one server went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of and they still managed to do it in an unobtrusive manner.

  • 5/5 John G. 8 months ago on Google
    Didn't rate the food because we just drank here. It was a Sunday night so not much going on but the bartender (Shannon) was not only really cool but she stayed on top of pretty much serving the place (about ten people) singlehandedly. She mentioned that theres typically a decent size crowd on Fri/Sat nights Cool vibe in the bar itself and had a pretty cool range of music going.

  • 5/5 Vanessa “MessyNessy” S. 6 months ago on Google
    Fidd's is a great place to go day or night! The food is Excellent here, Never had a bad meal and they have a unique menu variety to choose from. Salads are so good! Week nights are chill with sports on and a great atmosphere for hanging and catching up with friends!! Or go on the weekends and dance all night with the best D.j's in town! Cheapest double drinks around and the Best bartenders, Security and D.j's. Go check it out

    Very young crowd with upbeat atmosphere. Did not eat. Really enjoyed atmosphere and people. Great location but parking is challenging.

    They need to hire someone more hours to clean their bathrooms mirrors..and sinks.. Also to clean their dining tables & chairs and please ...wipe down the filthy bottles of hand sanitizers that are on all of the tables!! My hands were cleaner before I touched their bottles of sanitizers or sink faucets!!!

    Went after an Icedogs game, although it was busy we got a table quickly, food is great love all the new choices

  • 5/5 Reg S. 1 year ago on Google
    Nachos are fit for a king. The fish and chips most likely the very best downtown.

  • 5/5 Elly M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great menu with something for everyone to enjoy! Staff are ways great and accomodating! The fried chicken sandwich is to die for!

  • 5/5 DENNIS H. 1 year ago on Google
    My cousin owns this wonderful lovely establishment. The atmosphere is truly most pleasant, with a very reasonable priced menu. Parking is a few doors away. I recommend having friends, family, even friends of family or set up a business meeting unless you prefer to drink alone. There's room for all walks of life!!

  • 5/5 Michelle L. 2 years ago on Google
    Great little pub! Wait staff was outstanding and food was really good. Nice selection of food. Could of had more local beers on tap

  • 3/5 Andrew Fisher (. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a great space for drinks and snacks but the food doesn't feel like anything to get excited about. The nachos are very standard but the drink selection is very large and the staff know what they're talking about.
