Came here on a Monday Night Football Night with a few friends and was lucky to find a table. We eventually found one at the back of the pub by the restrooms. About five minutes after we sat down we understood why no one else was sitting there, every time the men’s bathroom door was opened you could smell the incredibly strong urinal tablet, how lovely when wanting to eat and drink. I ended ordering the Jalapeño Cheese bites, which I had expected to be regular Jalapeño poppers and were not. There were little deep fried things of cream cheese with hints of jalapeño in them. For my entrée I got the Ruben with poutine fries(I HAD to have poutine at least once while back in Canada). After eating some of the jalapeño bits and the poutine I was pretty full but wanted to try my sandwich as it smelled fantastic. I took two bites and was happy that I had ordered the Ruben and was looking forward to eating it later. The waitress came and gave us our tabs, $ 24 for the appetizer and entrée, not to terrible. I had asked the waitress for a box for the rest of my sandwich, but instead she took my plate away saying she would box it up for me. When she returned the box felt light, I opened it up and I only have half my sandwich, she had tossed the one I had only had two bites out of. I couldn’t believe it, I asked my friends if that was the norm at the Rose(as they go far more often than I do) and they said no. I didn’t bother to ask my waitress where my sandwich was as I knew it was in the trash, I just couldn’t believe she tossed it, especially without asking first. Overall the restaurant is good, the atmosphere is decent, the location easy to find and the food delicious. But I’m knocking down the rating for how strong the bathroom smell was and for throwing out half my meal that I had paid for.

Awesome local bar with super friendly staff. Very large menu with lots of different options, something for everyone. Great wings! Good drink deals. Will definitely come again when in tsawwassen! I love Reuben’s and have had them from many places in the lower mainland, definitely in my top 3.

An excellent pub with great food and staff. The manager Shelley always goes out of her way to make your visit a pleasant one. They are often quite busy, but the service is consistently good. They also have great food at a reasonable price. The patio is wonderful for beers and people watching in the summer and they are a great place to watch hockey in the fall. They always have great specials including their often changing $ 2.00 special! Would definitely recommend to others as a great place to go for lunch or dinner.

you know how sometimes people hate-watch certain tv shows? well, sometimes i’ll go to places that are poorly rated on Unilocal because i enjoy torturing myself and/or disagreeing with the other reviewers. this was neither: i was pleasantly surprised to see that the place wasn’t a crappy dive and we’d likely be able to get some delicious beers to drown our sorrows about missing the ferry, and yummy food to keep the hangry bears at bay.(side note: if this is you in the future, be warned: service is not fast. not fast at all. chose wisely. potato skins are not wise.) both boyfriend and i felt a tad bit out of place… he was struck by the number of white people(all of them. every. single. person.), and i was surprised to see no female customers — just female servers. maybe they held a meeting of middle-aged white men at the pub just before we arrived? the prices are a bit steep(you’ll find ferry food is cheaper, since they don’t charge $ 15 for chicken strips), but the food we had was pretty tasty. I definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to return, but I wouldn’t refuse to return either.

A big let down for an area as nice as Tsawwassen. The crowd is very old, as well as a lot«white trash» types. There is a nice patio, but unfortunately its dominated by smokers(you can still smoke on patios??! its 2015)…and they allow people to smoke e-cigatettes inside the pub(seriously.), which is in itself a huge turnoff. The inside of the pub is dark and dated. A shame there aren’t more options in town. On the plus side, portions are huge and there are lots of beers on top.

This place is alright; a typical pub. It is the only pub in the the area so get a huge array of demographics, most notably age groups. You’ll see just turned legal children and older couples hanging out. The prices are excellent and helpings are enormous, but it comes at a cost. I had the pulled pork on my nachos, and I had my head in the toilet the next day. Lower prices aren’t necessarily a great thing when your food quality is sub-par.

My first experience with this pub was so bad, I will never step foot in that place again. wasn’t busy @ all in there so, we expected that our drinks would come quick. they didn’t. after we were waiting about 15mins for them, we tried to flag down our server but she was clearly trying to ignore us… so, I walked up to the bar to order a drink(since the server wasn’t going to help us out) + the sweet aroma of urine coming from the bathrooms perfumed the area. so disgusting. then, when we were playing pool a trouble maker randomly tried to start a fight with my bf + he started choking him against the wall… one of the servers witnessed this but, didn’t do anything! she didn’t want to kick out«a regular» cuz they’ll lose a customer. this was a horrible experience + will never recommend this place to anyone.

When you’re in Tsawwassen, you don’t really have a lot of options for nightlife. My best friend happens to live in Tsawwassen, so I happen to be there a lot, and what do we do when we want a drink? The Rose & Crown, of course! Seeing how this is basically the only place to go for drinks, there’s quite a mixed crowed. Middle-aged drunkards to to the fresh«just turned 19» kids. People are generally pretty friendly, but don’t expect not to get stared at if you look a bit out of the ordinary. When we come we aaaalways order the peach margarita. A surprisingly fancy and fun drink for a cheesy little neighborhood pub. The food is decent, the drinks are decent, and we always have a more than decent time.

Great food, friendly place. But very noisy and crowded on game nights.
