    Their prices are so overrated. And the people working over there are so deaf and dumb. No ethics of work. We clearly asked them its too costly for us to eat, we don’t want food. We will just play and have the drinks but the staff member bring over the food anyhow. And we informed that we didn’t ordered, the fat lady made a face and said something in her language angrily to us. We felt so disrespectful. Will never anyone going there. It’s not about the price, we could have take the food but the way she behaved with us was so bad. We finished our game hurriedly and came out.

    Place has gone way down hill. Guy at the bar had no idea how to make a long Island. Tables are so old. Cue's are old af too. Nobody is nice. And nothing is new. Staff is hit or miss. And omits way expensive. Not the best. If your a serious pool player go elsewhere. If you don't care and have money to burn then this is the place. Not what it used to be.

    I was here on Feb 13, ordered a drink, and got part way through before realizing there was glass mixed in with my ice after I pulled a shard out of my mouth. Not the waitress fault but all she did was apologize and give me a replacement on the house, still had to pay for my food and I am worried about how much glass I may have consumed. Be careful with your drinks as they likely aren’t following food safety protocols regarding getting rid of ice when glass is broken nearby.

    Only go because we play league and some teams use this place. The one thing going for it, is the food is very good. Problem is the service is so bad, consider yourself lucky to be able to place an order. If you are looking for a place to save money by not having a server ask if you want food or drink, this is a great place. Take care if you do manage run a tab. Check your bill, you likely will be buying someone else's drink or dinner. Ask for it to get fixed, you would think you're asking about the meaning of life, with the look of disbelief and confusion they give you. Best part of the evening; when we are finished playing and get to leave

    Ok. Hear me out. The place is pretty chill, good prices and the pool is great. Our experience (Saturday the 25th nov) with the older waitress was awful. She came sometimes to get our order which is great, but when we ordered from the bar cause we finished drinks quick she would make us feel awful and talk trash. Not ok. All we wanted to do was just have a good night but instead we were uncomfortable and the vibe was off.

    Booked a staff holiday party 4 weeks in advance for 50 people. We show up and are told the kitchen was closed because of all the other parties they had booked. We were then told that they “told us” when we booked. Which was a lie because If that was the case we would have went somewhere else. After being there for 2 hours they gave us some nachos and finally let us order food. Service took extremely long which could be understandable, but when drinks were coming they were all being handed to the wrong people. People who do not drink alcohol we’re getting drinks with alcohol which is just not ok. They also charged us gratuity on the actual pool table rentals which is wild and weird. 10/10 would not recommend for events.

    Went to Flea Whiskey's on a Saturday night. The place wasn't too busy (this should've been our first sign). My friend and I stood at the door for 15 minutes before a vey unenthused server came to greet us. We asked her about a pool table as there were several empty. She proceeded to inform us that they were all reserved. We asked for a booth instead. She rolled her eyes and gestured around saying we could sit anywhere that was open. We chose a booth near the front and took our seats. We sat for another 20 minutes before a different server finally came and checked on us and asked if we'd like menus. We said yes and were brought what was apparently their menu. Four sheets of food stained printer paper stapled together with food item descriptions and prices. Not exactly the most sanitary or appealing menus. We both looked past the menu thing and placed our drink orders while continuing to decide on food. When the drinks arrived, they were wrong. We didn't complain about them and the server didn't offer to correct it. They only said that they would get it right the next round. The server came back and took our food orders, then brought another round of drinks without asking and this time spilled them all over our table. The server didn't bother to apologize or clean up. We saw our server one final time before they brought us our bill, when they brought us our food. We ordered two identical plates of the Irish Nachos -a relatively safe bet and apparent must-have. When they arrived, one order was without chicken and had less than half the cheese and toppings of the other. Both were extremely soggy with fryer oil, yet neither were hot! Consistency and quality had apparently gone out the kitchen window. Our Irish nachos were served to us, and had apparently been cooked on foil burger wrappers. The foil side was up and easily peeled and flaked off into the nachos. At this point we were so hungry that we ate around the disintegrating foil wrapper and accepted the mediocre-at-best food. Our bill was brought to us without ever once checking up or asking how we were doing. The service was dismissive, and lacklustre. We were charged for our initial round of drinks (made incorrectly), the second round that was spilled, and our plates of greasy, cold potatoes covered in a sprinkling of cheese. From start to finish, this experience was purely abysmal. We paid our bill and left. As we walked out the door, we couldn't help but notice that the pool tables we asked about, were still empty. I wish I could say that our experience ended here. It unfortunately ended with the most gut wrenching and painful episode of food poisoning I can remember. I strongly recommend staying away from Flea Whiskey's if you don't want to waste your money, time or destroy your digestive system.

    By far the worst service ever. Waitress spends more time cleaning tables than taking orders. I placed an order for a drink .. watched her clean a table then bring out other people drinks. Then Clean a table. Comes by again where I remind her I ordered a drink .. to which she says 'or right' ... At the end of the night my bill was wrong.. there were drinks on there that were not mine. Complained to management to which they said sorry but were busy .. not even an offer to fix my bill comp me a drink. Nothing. Apparently the fact that they are busy supercedes customer service. Terrible terrible terrible horrible brutal pathetic service... I wish I could leave zero stars as they don't even deserve one

    For what it is, a good place. Not too busy, staff were super friendly and fun. We didnt eat but food looked like regular bar food. Bartender was so chill and made our night enjoyable. I believe this place was remodeled in the last year or so. I'll be back.

    One of the best location in city. Parking is available but it could be a little problem mostly paid or rarely get spot. Price is very reasonable for food as well as games. I tried their wraps and fries. I went with someone for billiards game. I am giving 5 star because of service by the bar tender guy, person who served food on the table etc. I am very pleased to see that. I wish they maintain the same in future. Good luck to business and I recommend this place to everyone. Tried to work on pics. By chance I captured view for early evening and when it was dark.

    Hey everyone.. Sorry to say that today (2/28/2023)(9:25pm) we experienced a worst customer service. A lady on front was not welcoming and she didn't treat us well.She gave us table,when we reach there she took balls back and said it was for somebody else. It was really desrepecting and anyoing. Please respect your customers. Thank you

    It was a good night, pool was fun, service was great. But right after we get home hubby is puking his brains out.. he had nachos (3 of us had) & 4-5 beers. He can drink 20 beers in a day camping & be perfectly fine.. wth is wrong at flea whiskey's? Dirty taps? Old alcohol? I feel fine, my husband is far from & my sister is sick too. (They drank alcohol-not much, I didn't) Think the health inspector should look around... I don't think we'll be returning again.

    Went for the first time yesterday! I feel for the staff because it was packed and I don’t think the AC was on 🥵 Our server Misty was amazing! Even though it was super busy she was able to come to our table to check in on drinks exactly when they needed to be refilled. She was incredibly friendly without seeming like she was playing a “customer service” role and she made amazing suggestions. I’ll definitely be back and hopefully Misty will be working again! Also! If I am remembering her name wrong I’m so sorry! She was the one with the Teal hair and amazing makeup skills lol

    I attended a union function at this location this evening. This location is convenient for members. It was great to see some fellow members that I haven't seen for 6 years. This venue was very spacious. The food was very good.

    Don’t do any events here. Book a holiday party, five weeks out, wasn’t told needed to pre-order platters… But on the day we arrived we were told the kitchen was closed until 9 o’clock (yet our party was booked from 7-10)as they couldn’t take any more orders as they had too many events going on. I mean great they offered a 10% discount but what’s a holiday party without food?

    Horrible service . Ignores you unless your one of the regulars who sit at the bar. After waiting for 5-10 minutes to get a pool table we walked out . Blonde girl at the bar has a bad attitude and will avoid eye contact and walk right past you to talk to people who just got there to avoid doing her job. Started to come here a few times a month, as I used to all the time years ago. Won't bother anymore. Happened again with the same server a few weeks back .I figured maybe they were just having a bad day and still tipped $20 for 2 drinks and a table. Won't bother bringing people here anymore. Until I hear service gets better

    The service is often sub par, but Andrew was amazing tonight in the pool hall. Very attentive, friendly and professional. 10/10 for his customer service skills.

    I was here with about 20 family members and our server Andrew was outstanding..!! The food was amazing as well. We had 3 flavours of wings, clubhouses and nachos and it was all excellent . Andrew kept the tables clean and our drinks full. Will definitely come back.

    The New manager really turned this place around from what was once a not so great place to drink, everything has changed. Staff are now super friendly greet me by name and always ask how I'm doing. If you're looking for somewhere to relive the stress of work/life and have some fun, Flea Whiskeys is winnipegs best choice.

    We came here on a Saturday evening. Wasn't busy as I thought. Was greeted at the door. Got a pool table. $1/min. Was what the guy said. Roughly paid $15 for the table. Got two rounds in for that price. Only there for over and hour. Service wasn't the greatest... we always had to walk up and notify the server for our round of drinks. I really did ike the atmosphere. Never had food from here but service def needs improvement.

    Good place for drinks. Saw my friends burger and fries and it was nit good, so I ordered chicken fingers thinking "how can they mess that up?" Well the chicken fingers were deep fried way too long. Bar rescue needs to get at the menu Stat.

  • 1/5 Taylin M. 1 year ago on Google
    Terrible service. “Your on the waiting list” for the pool tables and yet there were like 4 tables open and we waited for over an hour spending almost 100 in drinks and then my friend almost swallows a piece of glass and they did nothing to make it right. Place is a joke. May 12th got there around 10pm left just before midnight because it was such disappointing service. Sad because it's a nice place just poor management and employees.

    I used to enjoy this place. This time I found the service poor and the food adequate at best. They did have beer specials but despite ordering it I was served a more expensive bottled beer. My suggestion would be go for the pool but plan to eat elsewhere.

  • 4/5 Lorne H. 8 months ago on Google
    We were just there tonight. The waiter was friendly and provided great service. The food was awesome. Our group had the Nachos and two orders of chicken fingers with fries. Great night over all. I recommend everyone check this place out.

  • 4/5 David K. 9 months ago on Google
    Great place for a couple of games of pool and chicken wings. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, great wings! Heather serves you well.

  • 5/5 Claire D. 8 months ago on Google
    Nachos were fantastic. Layered toppings. Nice heat. Worth the $14 ($18 with beef).

  • 1/5 Julian H. 1 year ago on Google
    Really off quality control it seems. My partner and I came here for some pool and dinner and left a lot to be desired. Sure pool is fun, but their food was certainly disappointing. The drinks came in dirty glasses, and had a piece of hard plastic stuck to the glass. Our wings came and right away they just looked peculiar… after eating one or two, I notice that there are shards of bones mixed into the breading/topping!! To the point you had to watch your bite as to not break a tooth, or swallow a shard of chicken bone. I’m not a wing expert or anything but I’ve never seen/experienced something like this. I brought this to the attention to the server (in case it was a bad batch, stuff happens), and she told me it was just how they do wings and took the plate away from me? At the end of the night, our drinks were refilled once, and just a low quality experience here. I know it’s not a 5 star restaurant or anything but seeing several other reviews regarding quality control is kind of alarming. They still made sure to charge us for the evening lol

  • 2/5 Randeebandee 6 months ago on Google
    Food was good and service was okay but the lady’s bathroom was out of order which meant you had to use an all gender bathroom. It was a mess, the water tank lid was off the toilet and there was pee all over the seat and on the floor. The garbage was overflowing and there was loogies in the stink. I had no choice but to use it because it was the only bathroom for women..

    I was there for a pool tournament. All aspects of the event was worked out perfectly, even with only one lady working our group and the rest of the entire establishment. She was amazing, made the day.

  • 5/5 I K (. 5 years ago on Google
    Great place! Big parking lot, clean inside and outside. Pleasant atmosphere and crowd. Lots of tables, decent cues. Waitresses are friendly and not overly in your face (when you just want to play and don’t want to drink). Top place to shoot pool for me at the moment. Happy to discover it.

  • 4/5 Geeno 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere. Fun place to go with your friends. Only complaint is how long it took to get our food, maybe a nearly an hour wait time when it was busy? Doesn't take away the fact that I'd still come back.

  • 4/5 Ravindra A. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a good time. Nice spacious place without any disturbance.

  • 4/5 Pseudo b. 2 years ago on Google
    All in all, I loved it! We did have to wait about an hour for a pool table, but that's too be expected on a Saturday night. Looked like there wasn't enough servers, so food and drink service was slow. Otherwise, a great experience!

  • 5/5 Carmen H. 1 year ago on Google
    Good vibes! A nice chill spot. The food is great, amazing wings!! Slot machines and pool tables. You can play by the coins or the hour. Love this place!!

  • 5/5 Gargantuan G. 2 years ago on Google
    Overall a Great place to play pool and a chill ambience. Monday to Friday during the day is your best time to visit as the service is always friendly and attentive.

  • 5/5 Victor R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best billiards I've been to in awhile. Pool tables all even and scuff free. Decent selection of pool cues. Food was average price but pretty good especially the lemon pepper chicken wings. Will be coming again.

  • 5/5 THE N. 1 year ago on Google
    I've gone to Flea Whiskey's for years and it always has a really nice atmosphere. I really enjoy the food lately, good portions and tasty. The service is also always above average.

  • 4/5 Shiv M. 1 year ago on Google
    Really nice place for a night out. Snooker tables are in real good condition. Food was good but not top notch. Service could have been better

  • 5/5 Amanda V. 2 years ago on Google
    I just ordered here for the first time after having a friend recommend them. Got the caesar salad, pountine and yam fries. Just wow! Not only delicious, but great portion sizes! I will definitely be ordering again and possibly trying everything on their menu. You will not be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Jak G. 1 year ago on Google
    It was busy but not so much that we couldn't enjoy ourselves. Tables are clean and free of big dings or dents, The cues we had were remarkably straight for being public cues. The food was great. My only fault is that non-alcoholic drinks don't do refills. We ended up switching to water.

  • 2/5 Ciaran M. 5 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    The place is cool and the pool is standard. Only issue is the service. Had an experience on the 25th nov/23 and with the older waitress that made us feel uncomfortable. She made us feel like we weren’t welcome as when we ordered from the bar (she took 25 minutes between orders), she closed our tab, complaint to US, that we ordered from the bar. Don’t know if we’ll be back. Might come back when we hear about the service being better

  • 2/5 Claire A. 5 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    The server made us feel like we were putting her out (she even rolled her eyes) by asking for drinks and the bathrooms were very unclean (at opening). Irish Nachos were still good though.
