Rib Eye Jack's: Burlington ON

Post by hopdevil »

This is a new bar in Burlington, on Harvester Rd, just east of Walker's Line. ( Walker's Fish Market was it's previous name )
They are a partner pub to The Live Bait Alehouse in Milton, on Maple Ave.

Craft selection is fairly good, and they tap a cask every Thursday evening.
( Muskoka Harvest Ale, this week )
Prices are around $8 a pint, incl tax.
Food consists of steaks, burgers, sandwiches, seafood, soups, & salads.

They are currently running an Octoberfest special for $33.95, which includes a 3-course meal and a 32-oz stein of any of their beers.

Things in Burlington are looking up. I like this place better than Dymond's.

I spend a lot of time birding the lakefront in Burlington, so this may be a place for me and the missus to check out. Thanks for the tip!

Beer List looks quite decent for Burlington, will have to check it out next time I visit the area.

Visited over the holidays and I will definitely be back. For the beer list, a relatively safe list; roughly 30 bottles and 6 taps of local + Anchor Liberty & Steam and Magic Hat (and a tap of Coors Lite, Heineken, and Pabst as emergency back-up I suppose).

Talking to the Bar staff they seem to be on a learning curve for Craft and beer in general but they are definitely making an effort.

Every Thursday is "tap a Cask". Nothing to off-beat but still a great effort to promote craft, no doubt.

As it's within walking distance from home, it's great to finally have some decent choice in Burlington. As a local I'd prefer to give them my money and business than anyone else within a 20 minute drive. I hope it gets a good run.

Visited over the holidays as well. It was ok, as you say taps were safe.

Family was put off by the nearly naked waitresses though. I think it would take some convincing for my wife to go back.
