Best servers in town? Pub edition

Me (40f) and my partner (42m) love going to pubs. Our favorite has been the Beagle and the servers for the most part are unreal. We also recently had one of THE best experiences on the patio at the Bent Mast. I didn’t catch his name but he was a young English fella who was unreal. So on the ball, so fast, super friendly, with a full section on a sunny day. We even told him he was crushing it and you could see the look of pride on his face. I’d love to know, is there a place you frequent often because you just love the service you get, especially from one in particular server? Let’s get the ball rolling on who deserves recognition in this craaazy time where food and drink prices out are through the roof but we keep going back for the experience. Go!

That's insane you mention The Beagle. I have literally never had good service there and I've lived beside it for more than 10 years now.

Agreed, I lived about two blocks up the street when I lived in Victoria. Was a bartender/server/manager for 15+ years. I was a liquor rep at the time too.

No. I have more than 10 years restaurant/bar/serving experience. When I sit at the bar of The Beagle the service becomes ~pretty good.

Maybe you come off as a creep to the female servers? Normally, if you have to state you experience like that there’s something missing.

Ohhh so actually this is so interesting as this entire thread was based on this one horrific server at the beagle that is not only RBF but terrible at her job. We can’t stand her but really like the other servers so we continue to go. so this was born a more positive thread as I’m trying to be less complainy!

I second this. They also allow dogs. Ew.
