★ 3.6 / 5 (13 reviews)

The Saltair Pub has been through some changes in recent years, with varying experiences reported by visitors. The cozy, off-the-road location offers a craft beer selection and typical pub fare with some Greek influences. Service has been hit or miss, with some guests finding the food underwhelming and others praising the new menu and management. The live entertainment and charming atmosphere are highlighted positives, but inconsistent food quality and service have caused mixed reviews among patrons. Overall, the Saltair Pub seems to be a popular spot for locals with potential for improvement in the dining experience.

Was Anonym at Saltair Pub a mag?
The food and atmosphere under the new ownership/management at the Saltair Pub is excellent. We like to arrive around 5pm... we are the early birds. Tonight we had their featured special, the halibut burger and fries. The best ever!!! They have a new chef and we are so impressed. We also like that they have Riot Beer, a local brewery, on tap. We are locals, supporting locals, who are supporting locals!! View all feedback.

What Anonym dislikes about Saltair Pub:
In fact, it was a home once upon a time, and it is tucked behind the landscaping on a small street off the main highway so if you didn't know it was here you would drive right past it. Craftsman charm, good beer, and decent pub food more or less as you'd expect with some dependence on fried food: fish and chips, burger plates and the like. And someone's got some Greek ancestry going on as some of the dishes veer that... View all feedback.

We have been to the Saltair pub on numerous occasions but I think the chef or owners have changed... Quite bland, food not the usual quality and our guests that we had taken were very disappointed in our choice, although the servers were very obliging. We will be giving it a wide berth for quite some time.

This is our 'local' and on Friday nights has live music, so pop along enjoy good food in an 'English' pub setting.

Quaint, little neighborhood pub in Saltair (par of Ladysmith).
