The Garrick's Head Pub

The Garrick’s Head Pub (69 Bastion Square / 250-384-6835) is the type of place you’d expect to find in a neighborhood in England – you know, the type of comfortable pub down on the corner where you’d meet your mates for pint or two and a game of darts. Thus it’s a bit of a surprise that the Garrick’s Head keeps its neighborhood pub feel despite being located downtown in the heart of Victoria’s tourist zone. Low key and unpretentious, the Garrick’s Head has real wood burning fire place that keeps it cozy in winter and an outdoor patio on Bastion Square for people watching in the summer. It also has a great selection of local beers, pub food, and an authentic hot nut vending machine.
