Splash Bar and Grill - Victoria

This is a one of a kind place...you feel like you are on holidays...you can swim, eat and drink....don't be in a hurry for your food.....there is table service for drinks or self serve...overall a fun place....

Roomy poolside patio above Douglas Street. We didn't swim but the pool looked pleasant and not too crowded. We had summery drinks and a cheese plate and fully enjoyed roasting in the sun. A very resort-like feel to this place. The downside - the service was very slow - our server seemed new and/or not terribly interested in her customers. Will likely be back (since the attached hotel is well worth staying at).

We have been watching this place being built when dining at Kitty's Cafe, in the same hotel, and wanted to try it. It's a really nice setting with tables, umbrellas, and palm trees on a sunny deck overlooking the pool. TTo be fair, it was very busy when we went on a sunny afternoon for drinks and appys but we waited forever to have our orders taken, or even to be acknowledged and provided menus. They have a lot of tropical-type drinks (margaritas, mai tais, mojitos, and the like) and a couple of beers on the menu, plus a nice selection of appetizers from Kitty's Cafe, also in the hotel. Once we placed our order, it was quite a wait for the drinks and appetizers, and the appy's were stone cold - they'd obviously been sitting out a while.All this aside, we liked the place and will return, but we hope that they can solve their service issues or it won't be worth it.

Stopped in for drinks a few times during our stay at the hotel. It was clean and bright. Bartender was friendly and greeted regulars and guests alike. Had zucchini sticks once they were fine for a little snack.

If you want a good place to have a beverage and some great food this is the place in downtown Victoria/The staff are great and love to offer sights to be seen and places to visit
