17 Mile House Pub

Perfect pub setting and relatively inexpensive. We had great service and nice cold beer. The onion rings were perfect, though the chicken wings weren’t the best, good flavor, just not the breading/​crispiness we’re used to.

This place is terrific, the vibe, the food is pritty great for the price and the portions are generous, the service from the waitresses has been awesome, should probably leave the guy that talks way to loud and interrupts guests to clear the table in the kitchen though

I’m surprised to see 3 star ratings for the 17 Mile House Pub. The four of use loved our food and the service was very friendly. We had wings, pizza, a burger and chicken tenders. No complaints here.

This place has the best tuna salad I’ve had in my entire life.
Forget about canned tuna and weeks old spinach you used to have at the other places.
Fresh raw tuna, fresh greens, housemate soused — fantastic food.
Sandwiches were great also.

I enjoyed my fettuccine immensely, and the service was good. I loved the décor and feel of a traditional pub. I would go back when in Sooke.

Good food, friendly and interesting atmosphere. .. being over 100 years old makes it a «real» pub more than others.
Its worth coming back; I’ve been visiting since the 80’s. Now after a 2-​hour ziplining tour next door, this is a natural finish.
I enjoyed the $ 10.95 prawn burger with fries. It was a yummy change from the norm, with garlic mayo. The 6 small prawns were fresh pan fried and filled the bun in one layer. Sure, double that would have been the ultimate. But I got what I paid for — a reasonable price — the prawns and bun were fresh, so that made up for the size, and the fries plentiful and perfectly cooked crisp outside, soft inside. The side of pub gravy for the fries was worth the extra $ 1.25.
Mike ordered the 2-​piece halibut and chips ($ 18.95). I
The halibut came pan fried with a nicely browned crumb coating. Old fashioned — something you don’t see outside the home much, and delicious, Mike said. Large pieces of fresh, flakey halibut, too.
Service was professional, attentive and friendly.

Not many pubs dating back to 1894 in Canada, but this is one of them. They do it right here. Wish there was a little more beer selection but they do have a few local micro’s on tap.
This is what you think of when you hear the word pub. Main room, plus a few side ones including one with a fire place and another with a pool table.
Good outside area as well that has games area for things like vollyball.

It may be 17 miles to get here from Victoria, but it was a 41 Km cycle to be here. And no pint of Strongbow was ever more welcome, that is until the soup arrived. Who knew that Cauliflower and Feta used in the title to describe the soup of the day could be so right. Hot, creamy and full of the good stuff like bacon, feta, cauliflower and chunks of potato, it really satisfied the cold and hungry. The Buffalo Burger, however, lacked the same homemade flare as the soup. It was good, but definitely not homemade, hence three stars. Oh Unilocal,why can’t there be a half star?
