The Oxy Pub

I live in the neighborhood and being a relatively busy person I have made use of their kitchen staff to save me some time on occasion to make me some food. Everything I have tried has been good old fashioned pub food. It’s quick, easy, and priced well. The Ultimate Nacho’s are legit! The staff are really friendly and take the time to get to know their customers. Good vibes ????

Very old pub. Beer was good, service with bartender lady great. She was prompt, friendly & welcoming. I've heard from others the food is good there, however I didn't have enough time this trip.

The Oxy Pub (Occidental Pub) and hotel was built in 1886 and has been a part of Nanaimo forever. It has been reformed many times and looks quite nice at present. In my opinion, it caters mostly to the local hard working blue collar citizens and the beer and menu are very reasonably priced but not the best. They have big TVs for sports and a corner with pool tables. It has a few parking spots and is close to a beer and wine. I mostly come here for an afternoon pint and worry about a late Friday night here. It's also easy walking distance to downtown.

I go here all the time with my friends to watch football games. Not bad prices on cold pints, food usually hits the spot but is a bit pricey for what you get I don’t understand people complaining about the service, they’re always checking up on us and making sure we have drinks, but I’ve never been when it’s super busy.

Such a good spot, food is pretty good at a good price, staff are friendly and it's over all a good experience
