Durty Nelly's Irish Pub

Visit Tuesday December 9, 2025. Mobility impaired persons should expect a few steps. Nearby paid parking lots and on-street parking. Lovely authentic pub decor, great atmosphere. Solid selection of beverages and food offerings. Staff were attentive, friendly and professional. Just had some chicken wings and a pint of Keith's, both of which were fantastic, although the (vegetable) dipping sauce was not my vibe. Would definitely recommend.

I ordered the fish that was very tasty with a crispy batter. The Caesar salad was the highlight for me and I’ll probably order it as a main next time. My Dad absolutely loved his seafood chowder. My husband had the Reuben sandwich and fries. He had me try both and it was the best Reuben I’ve tried in a long time. The staff was beyond friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend for a great pub experience in the city.

Great little spot we went to in the summer for a friends birthday! Exactly what you’d expect good pub food, good deals, fun staff. And perfect for people watching.

This is my favourite place to stop in for a bite and a few pints when I'm killing time downtown. I usually go alone and sit at the bar or on the patio in the summer. I always feel welcomed and comfortable, which is important to me as a woman who likes to enjoy a few drinks on her own occasionally. Sometimes I'm down for shooting the shit, other times I just want to swill some beer and eat some food alone. The bartenders are great either way. The seafood chowder is my go to. And the Guinness brown bread.....the best.

Came here TWICE in my 3 night trip for a conference. DELICIOUS gluten free buns. I had a Reuben with seasonal beer salad (which was THE BEST with the fresh candied pecans and dried blueberries), and the Craic burger with Spice bag fries. The sumac and curry hints in that spice blend were so impactful but not overpowering. I am already planning a trip with the family in summer 2026 and going to bring them here for sure!

An absolutely amazing dinner we had here. We were recommended this pub, it did not disappoint. The pub was busy but everyone was respectful and it made for an amazing night. We sat up in the more dining style tables so it was a bit quieter but if you went closer to the bar the energy, the fun and the music were great! The stew and chicken burger were delicious. The sticky toffee pudding was yummy too! Will definitely eat here again then next time we visit! For those that appreciate it: yes the bathrooms were very clean!

Unfortunately we were overcharged for our meals. Also for our non-alcoholic drinks. The waitress took our bills as soon as we started to pay for it so we didn't even have a receipt to look back on and see what was charged. We did tip even though we were missing all of our gravies. Usually it's a fun place to go but we had two birthdays and left leaving feeling very frustrated and hungry.

My party of two was actually forgotten about and we watched others get seated and served after us, but keen observers will note the 5 star rating. It was just a busy night and the staff was so apologetic and kind (they even gave us a free app) and it was water under the bridge. But more importantly, the food was amazing. The french onion dip, guiness stew, cocktails, and the smoke burger were all delicious, especially the dip. Great staff, great food, great music, highly reccomend.
