Confusion Corner Bar & Grill

I hardly ever write reviews, but I feel compelled after this meal.
Incredibly slow service.
Mediocre food.
Sold out of dessert.
Generally a bad experience.
There are so many better options within walking distance that there should be no reason why you should choose this restaurant.

Okay so…
1) Lumpia Rolls: YES
2) Pesto Chicken Pizza: YES
3) Rooftop Patio: YES
4) $ 8 Vodka Redbulls on Thursdays: YES
I don’t necessarily love sitting inside, but the patio is where it’s at. Also, the chicken fingers never hurt anybody.

Very impressed with their brunch menu. We had corn beef hash and classic eggs benny. Eggs poached perfectly as ordered (medium) which we’ve found is a rarity even in specially breakfast spots. Will definitely return.

Had the drunken steak sandwich with Caesar salad. Hubbie had his with fries and gravy. He enjoyed his alot more than I did. Both our steaks were overdone and the dressing had way too much garlic in it (and I love garlic). Awful food. I could see how some would enjoy the place as beautiful young urban crowd but for us that is not worth coming again.

Came through Winnipeg on the #1 and decided to take an early afternoon detour to this bar. It décor was lovely and it wasn’t too busy but when we sat down things started to go down hill. With only 2 or 3 staff we thought they should be able to take care of us. But they seemed to be more concerned with the guys at the other table than my boyfriend and myself. We had both been craving a ruben sandwich so we ordered them. It was the strangest Ruben we’ve ever had. For some reason the meat had more gristle than meat and it had thousand island salad dressing. Not sure what kind of sandwich that was. The mushroom soup also left something to be desired. The fries at the other table looked quite good though. Maybe we’ll just order them next time.

I wanted to check out this place again because one of my friends had said they knocked down the wall between the lounge and the restaurant so I was curious to see how it looked. From someone who always eats in the lounge I thought it was great, but I could see how someone in the dining room wouldn’t agree. It makes it look like one big lounge, especially when sports are on.
This place is always busy — which I love, yet we can always find a table. The service is decent, solid 15% tip everytime. In the summertime when the rooftop is open is the best, it’s a little gem that I don’t think a ton of people know about.
I ended up having the Wasabi-​Sesame Crusted Tuna which is a 7oz sushi-​grade Albacore tuna Loin marinated in a Tataki sauce; rolled in wasabi and sesame seeds and pan seared rare for $ 26. It’s a good value, fresh, delicious. I would have liked more wasabi just because I like spice and less seeds. They rolled it one too many times.
The parking is easy for a place on Corydon since they have their own lot. It’s one of my top picks to go to in the city. The décor is nice, trendy but not stuffy.

Enjoying a delicious lunch in the lounge!!! Fun music, good atmosphere and yummy caesars. Will be back the next time I am in Winnipeg

I go here with my friend everytime they come to town. I recommend it more is spring/​summer/​early fall as the roof patio has a nice view. The yam fries are my favorite. It is decently priced

We weren’t sure where to eat in our visit to Winnipeg and so we came to this neighborhood expecting to be tempted. The threat of rain started to become more serious and we spied this restaurant from across the crazy-​ass intersection.
Boy, I’m happy we ended up here.
We had the pizza with artichokes, feta and mozzarella cheeses, chicken and pesto. Oh… my… god. That was a damn good pizza and I think I will remember it for a long time. We also split a salad that came with berries and nuts — that was very good, but stood in the shadow of the Great Pizza.
I liked the atmosphere of this place too — very fun, urban, and chic without being too pretentious.

I don’t have too much to say about this place.
I end up here every now and then to sit in the lounge and have some drinks, and occasionally have dinner.
Confusion Corner falls into the same group of restaurants as moxies, joeys and earls. It’s one of those places where the scene is as important as what is on the menu, and the menu certainly does not disappoint. The menu has some good variety with favourites such as bison short ribs and the lamb shank. You can also get steak, sandwiches, pizza, and burgers. I’ve never had any complaints about the food.
The whole venue is very nice. I always sit in the lounge, which isn’t as big or nice as an earls or moxies lounge but has TVs for sports and comfortable seating.
My favourite thing about Confusion Corner is the upstairs patio. Winnipegers love a good patio, and this one is elevated so that makes it even better.
The reason I only gave this place three stars is that it has been kind of dead there recently, which is unfortunate. Maybe because the last few times I’ve been there has been during the winter. I’m sure it will be busier come summer, but it’s no fun sitting in a lounge where you are the only table.
Overall, good food, service and slightly pricey while atmosphere is dictated by the season.
