The Old Dub is a long time haven to me. Having spent many, many hours (read $$) their during my college days at the old location.
Since the move to Catchcart - the place has been completely remodeled. Bigger, brighter and great wood accents around the bar and throughout the pub.
Their beer selection is always great. With the classic Irish beers, some Canadian classics and some not so common Canadian West Coast beers.
Lunch times are busy - On a recent visit I reserved a table for 16 people. We had arrived a couple of minutes late, only to learn that a table of 8 had been given away to another group!! The lunch menu is fairly simple: burgers! It's the one item on the place mat that repeats itself. I personally like the Joyce burger (caramalized onions, sweet bell peppers and swiss cheese)
As of Friday April 29th, Liam Callaghen will be leaving The Old Dub.
But honestly - pull up a stool and order a pint of Guinness and enjoy a game or friendly chat with the staff.
JOYCE BURGER = Great
ARRIVE EARLY, EVEN WITH A RESERVATION YOU CAN LOOSE YOUR TABLE
