Cat & Fiddle

Well, if you love Rock n Roll, there will be some every Friday afternoon 11:30-3:00 you get a chance to see, hear, even ‘shake hands ‘ with stars like ‘Dave Rave’ (80s glam band Teenage Head and lead singer of (The Shakers — go listen on Apple Music) be part of the audience during ‘ Shake It Up’ series of interviews. Chris , owner and chef knows his Fish n Chips, best I ever had .

The band playing yesterday was very good. There was only one waitress and she did a phenomenal job. The drinks were amazing. 1) I ordered honey fries - very oily and the Parmesan cheese was definitely fake, it felt like plastic. 2) the crispy cauliflower- wasn’t crispy and I thought I might get food poisoning. Not coming back unfortunately.

The food and service was good. Live music Friday's. One thing I have an issue with is that I called the day before I was going and asked if they had a handicap accessible bathroom and was told they did. This is not true and I don't know why I was told a lie.

This joint might be cool for live music, but on Saturdays between 12:30-1:00 PM, it's deader than a graveyard after a zombie apocalypse. Aside from a few senior citizens sipping beer at the counter, the vibe is ridiculously chill - I'm talking coma-inducing, snore-fest, wake-me-up-when-it's-over kind of chill. I swung by for lunch, got a menu, and waited a whopping 10 minutes to order a drink while seated at a table, which is just enough time to contemplate the meaning of life. The waitress seemed a bit out of it - I'm pretty sure she was having an out-of-body experience, or maybe she was just bored out of her mind. I ordered chicken fingers and fries, but the weird smell in the place killed my appetite faster than a bad pun at a comedy club. I ate half my meal and then paid 25 bucks and change, which is just enough to make me question my life choices. Yeah, I won't be back, unless I'm looking for a cure for insomnia, in which case, Hamilton's just my jam.

We had a great experience for lunch today. I got the French onion soup to start - very pleased! My fiancé got the blue cheese crock and the cod fritters and both hit it out of the park. That blue cheese was crazy good. I got the blue cheese burger, which was also a hit and he got the roast beef Yorkie. Safe to say, we got too much food but we are glad we get to enjoy the entrees again for dinner. We will definitely recommend to any of our friends travelling to the area!

Honestly a really great place with great service. But, it's feeling the effects of the economy. They were out of a lot of food items when I went and the place just looks a little unkempt. But it's definitely a great time and a great pub if you want a quick drink. And the food was very very tasty.

I want to start off by saying I do know the owners personally. They put in a lot of effort to kick start their launch and I’m happy to see them doing well. The Fish and Chips with Gravy is absolutely delicious and the Service is excellent. Inside you’ll find a nice bar with people to gather around with in a cozy environment. Don’t let the limited menu fool you, the food is an absolute banger!

A great pub for after work pints and food. Great spot close to the GO Hamilton stop downtown. If you need to wait for a train or having a nice date night after a long train ride, perfect spot. They have live band evenings and events that you can attend, a good patio as well. Parking isn’t too far if you can’t find street parking. Food is good, quick service and the usual pub grub. The staff are very friendly and the patrons seemed very welcoming,
