Rumrunner Pub - Sidney Canada

This place is amazing! I tried the crab shrimp cakes and they were amazing! I always order this item at restaurants and I'm always disappointed. But not here! This appy blew me away. Cooked perfectly, and full of actual crab and shrimp! Great as a smaller main or as a shared appy! Staff and Bill the owner were so friendly they made the whole experience lots of fun. And gorgeous views from all seating points on the patio! You must go here!

I'm a local and haven't been to the Rumrunner in a few years. We stopped in last Friday and the food was AWESOME! Outstanding service too. I highly recommend the halibut wrap if you like some spice in your dinner.Whatever the owner and staff are doing, keep doing it. It was a great atmosphere and we will be returning.

We are peninsula locals that used to come here often. Since the scamdemic shutdowns this place has become horribly unpleasant. Miserable staff, bad food, very rude owners including 1 who yells at people for parking in front of the pub. This place didn't remove the illegal vax card mandate until way after the province lifted it. I'm sure if they could, they'd still try to enforce it. They're still demanding people douse their hands with alcohol sanitizer at the door. Overpriced, germaphobic, unfriendly establishment. It's had its day. Time to pack it in. We will never be back.

Went for lunch . View is fantastic over the marina . Service was poor . We were first customers of the day so dead quiet . Staff chatting among themselves and slow to greet us . From the menu we had the soup of the day , hotdog and grilled cheese sandwich . Soup was supposed to be goulash , but was basically a very low amount of beef and mostly mushroom stroganoff sauce . Horrible . Grilled Brie cheese and apple toastie was horrendous in flavour . The hot dog was the only decent part of that plate with all the bread and toppings being bland . So , don’t go there or at best done order those items . Waitress was indifferent . Did not ask if we enjoyed our meal . We were not in the mood for dealing with any other food they may have had on offer . Highly recommend that you go to the other pub around the corner . Wish we had .

Decent food . Nachos could use more cheese and veggies. Quick service and very friendly staff. The view is great even on a rainy winter day.
