What User doesn't like about French Creek Marine Pub:
Our experience at the restaurant was less than satisfactory. The waitress displayed unfriendliness from the beginning, failing to inquire about my boyfriend's drink preference and serving us both the same beverage. The calamari was disappointing, being greasy and overcooked. However, the halibut burger was a saving grace. I requested aioli for my fries, but it was forgotten, and the fries themselves were only lukewar... View all feedback. What User likes about French Creek Marine Pub:
My wife and I stopped her for lunch after a short stay in qualicum, we each had a burger, mine was the Bluecheese and Bacon, my wife's was the House Burger. Both were amazing, juicy and cooked to perfection with crisp fresh vegetables and yummy sides, definitely will be stopping here again if in the area! Sorry I forgot to take pics of the lunch.

The F.C. Marine Pub's Chowder Bowl is under fire for serving small portions that don't live up to West Coast standards. The atmosphere is lacking and prices have gone up without any improvements. Menu and drink options are unimpressive. However, the fish and chips are a standout dish. The pub is recommended for locals looking for a hearty meal and a good pint. Service is reported to be efficient and friendly. The restaurant has a patio with a view, but the experience can be overshadowed by parked cars. The fresh sheet menu could use more frequent updates.

Nice pub, what you see is what you get. Very friendly locals and a wonderful barman named John who is an absolute credit. Would recommend for drinks!

This is the real deal- the pub in the Marina with real sailors in it. The beer sizes are huge-real 20 oz pints, but the price is pretty as well, so make sure to...

We made a nice pit stop on our way to Campbell River from Victoria. My husband enjoyed a tasty draft beer, while I opted for a refreshing dry cider. We sat outs...
