Aussie Rules Foodhouse & Bar Reviews

Went 2 weeks in a row !! This is the best night event destination hands down

More fun than I expected! All staff and performers are very approachable and accommodating. Great place for birthdays or bachelor(ette) parties.

I was pleasantly surprised. The kids food was especially amazing. The waitresses were prompt and polite. The management dealt with a rude and roudy group politely and effectively. I would definitely go back.

It is fun but you can extend to spend quite a bit. It ads up quick with the drink prices, food prices and cover charge. They service was good. We arrived there at 6pm and then the music started at 9pm. That meant that we were there a very long time. ( Our friends thought the $20 nachos they ordered were small). Our organizer called just over a month ahead for reservations and our party of eight was seated at two different tables (unexpectedly). They offered to move us to one take that was farther from the stage but we didn't do that. If you want to go on Saturday night have a bunch of people all sitting together then you have to call 2-3 months ahead of time to reserve your spot.

Always such a fun place to go. Great music and atmosphere!

Amazing performance, expensive appetizers and drinks.

Had a 30th birthday here. The staff were amazing. The atmosphere was entirely energetic and wonderful. The pianists were absolutely incredible. Highly recommend for anyone that enjoys music that has an appreciation for talented pianists!!!

Super fun night full of friends and music.
Food was also good for pub food.

Nice food and a fun atmosphere.

Music is typically that of the late 70s and early 80s, however the musicians are true trained professionals and can play nearly any suggestion.

I watched as one of the musicians actually traded off with another to listen to a suggestion that had been submitted before returning to the stage to play it within the span of about 10 minutes.

Very impressive waitstaff as well. They were able to handle a crowd of over a hundred while still maintaining very good service

My only suggestion would be to better delineate the doors to Jubilations versus the doors to Aussie Rules, as there did not appear to be signage for Aussie Rules within the lobby.

For how busy it was on a Thursday as well, I could see staff struggling to keep up on the weekend, though I have not attended on a weekend so take this with a grain of salt.

Overall, a fun interactive show that is musically accessible for anyone over 18. A fun place to attend with any group during a week night.

It's pretty cool here. Loved the one piano player who's very interactive with the crowd and just a great performer. I wish I could remember his name. Food was good

I went here for my bachelorette party this weekend and had such a blast! I have never been here before so I didn t know what to expect. I loved that our requested songs were played and the piano players were amazing! I had so much fun and would definitely come back again!!

A great entertaining evening for a date night or a group of friends. Loved every minute of it.

A lot of fun. Spend the night dancing on tables and drinking with live music. Nothing better than that. Prices are what can be expected at most bars.

Great place lots of fun , BC could use one of these!

This place is fun. A good place to go for a Saturday night, the dueling pianos is pretty cool. They like to get the crowd involved. Food is average pub type stuff. Overall had a good time, I would recommend that you go with a group.

Love this place! Very talented musicians can play almost any song requested. Very energetic atmosphere and people are very engaged and happy! Make sure you make reservations.

Awesome food. Awesome entertainment. Awesome service

Great for the 20 somethings, the piano players were amazing, our waiter was on point. The front door person was an officious kid with little man syndrome put a damper on the whole evening. Our party of twenty was there for a Birthday but the 4 or 5 stagette groups were a bit much. Would sit up in the top section to avoid some of the harder partyers. The food was okay.

This place was so awesome. You get to request songs and the people playing are so beautifully talented. Reason of the 2 stars is the hours on Google are wrong. My boyfriend and I came here at 12 Google said they close at 2am. The place actually closed at 1 and we had 3 people walk past and let us know hey it's time for you guys to head out we are closed.

Super lively fun place to go for date night or group events. Interactive with the crowd. Worth the cover charge.

This was such a fun place to go!!! The live music was fantastic and the service was fantastic, our waitress remembered everyone in our 21 person party's name!
Highly recommend for a fun night!

Fantastic bar, the pianists are great, really know how to keep the crowd going, atmosphere is a great change from the "clubs". Nice that its reservation only keeps the riff raff out lol. I highly recommend this bar to anyone who wants to have a great night out!!!

Killer entertainment but they really messed up the reservation for our large party and we put on separate tables even though we called to confirm in advance. The waitress also totally forgot about 1 of the 2 tables. So that table got HORRIBLE service. The other table got good service though. And like I said the entertainment is great.

I love this place it's such an epic place to take a date and it's always and awesome time!!!! The food is great and drinks keep flowing.

Great musicians playing what ever the crowd wanted to hear.

I took my staff there for our Holiday Party celebration and the folks at Aussie Rules definitely did not disappoint. Not only were the pianists remarkably talented, the staff were also very fun, kind, and enthusiastic about ensuring our experience was a memorable one. Management made it known to us that they appreciated us celebrating with them and took the time to get to know us a bit which is always appreciated! I've personally been attending Aussie Rules for about 9 years now and I'll continue to recommend their establishment to anyone I know who's looking for a unique and memorable night out!

Great entertainment at reasonable cost. Some of the entertainers are superb.

Bad awful food , it is also quite loud . I dont like it

If you enjoy deep-fried old greasy food this is the place. Acoustics in this place is a zero out of ten.... Change the menu take some pride into the dishes as you do in the performance. Performers are excellent at with what they are given, but need to fix sound audio. Moved around the establishment and all sounded same muffled sound.... Fix this now!!!!! Amount they charge close down. For a month and renovate!

I visited aussi rules for the very first time last Saturday night for my work xmas party. We had one ball of a time. The food was good, the atmosphere was lively, and our server was fun, efficient, and definitely a professional at his job. Even though the place was packed we always had full drinks and weren't left wondering where our server was like many other places you may visit on a busy Saturday night. I will definitely be back.

Wanted to give a 5 star rating as the music was fun, food was excellent. I ate fishball starter and then the spicy chicken burger with spiced waffle fries. My wife had fried pickle fries starter then the veggie burger with waffle fries. We had a reservation for 6 and was on time. Between 6 and nine our waitress seen us twice. By 11 we had seen her once again. For me that is unacceptable. So service sucks. They also don't manage the customers well as one guy almost dropped a bottle of beer on my wife's head, three guys also got on stage, dropped there pants and one guy hit the full monty. The pianist called for the security who let them stay. Not sure how you feel about having someone's junk hanging over your food but I think it's disgusting

Great fun, the entertainment and dueling pianos is awesome. They are very talented. Will play almost anything and have fun doing it. Great vocals, great and talented pianists. The service was ok, the poor girl was serving our 7 top, a 20 top beside us, and the other 10 top beside them so unfortunately she was spread very thin. The food was super over priced and not very good. Sub par for sure even for it being bar food. Portions were quite small ($10 for a 'veggie plate' a friend of ours got. A whole small tomato sliced large, quarter cucumber, small amount of baby carrots and bendy celery. A meager amount for $10) I got the spinich artichoke dip and chips which were just store bough tortilla chips and a small amount of dip for $15, and tried the beef dip. The beef dip was dry, only about 4 inches long and more like a roast beef sandwich. No jus was served with it or on it. It was just gravy and a very small amount of fries. The beef was super dry and the fact that there was no jus to moisten it up, just a salty gravy did not help the situation. This was a $20 plate for a very small amount of food. Another friend got the homemade chips and honey dill dip. Dip was great, the chips were cold, like they just came outta the fridge cold. Great atmosphere, sub par food and super overpriced. Would only go there again for the entertainment. Make sure you eat before you go!

Nothing special for me personally, but according to a bunch of other people who where there - apparently quite fun. I guess if you're into gettng drunk and ordering songs from live musicians - it's great. Service was below average, and a lot of people were not waiting for a waitress, but rather ordering from the bar. Cleanliness is below par as well, as we were seated at a table which could have used some love and care, despite the fact it was reserved for us.
Personally, not likely I will return, but as mentioned - it is a matter of taste.

Great place for birthdays, stag/stagettes, teambuilders or just people that like music and fun! The dueling pianos (and drummer) keep the energy high as you eat, drink, and sing along. You get out what you put in because a lively crowd really makes it better for everyone. I recommend tipping with song requests.

Not sure im happy with you guys. I love this place, everything is always awesome. But I came tonight to see that the menu prices have been drastically increased ($17.50 for an order of wings?)

We were also charged with a cover that I was not expecting. In all the times I've been here, I was only charged cover the first time I came (April 2017) and now again, there Is a cover charge even though I was told that there would not be. Not really fair to the customers to be blindsided with a charge.

The staff is always really nice and the performance are great. It's a shame to see this get in the way of greed.

I came, but did not eat as I didnt think the prices were fair. Not sure if I'll return again.

Food was pretty decent and staff were very friendly.

So fun! They guys play the piano amazingly and sing along at the same time. Terrific voices

Super fun time. They really get the crowd amped up. It's all good.

WATCH OUT THE WAITRESS TRIED TO OVERBILL ON DRINKS
other than being crooked it was a good time.

Best night of vacay...
Amazing talent..

Crazy good time. People be ready to party, loud and fun. Food was good service was great!!, The piano guys were excellent, they are funny and talented. Don't expect your nieghbour to be as talented cause that won't stop them from singing as loud as they can or dance on their chairs. Can't wait to go back.

I went on Thursday for their live piano show. The music was excellent. I ordered something off the weekly specials menu and it was great. The kitchen ran into a problem with my meal but the server and manager dealt with it before I even complained. Overall the experience was really fun.

Great piano players. Besides that nothing else that's great. $13 cover charge, seriously why is that a thing. I would understand if that money was going to the player but they are too busy telling us they won't play our songs unless you attach a $20 bill to the request sheet. Drinks are average priced but with extra costs it is not worth the trip. To each their own I suppose.

The entertainment was excellent. The food and service were mediocre. They need to up their game.

This place never disappoints. If you're in the mood for singing your heart out while dueling pianos trade salvos back and forth then this is your spot. The drinks are ok and the staff gets busy when things are in full swing, but you can easily head to the bar and top off to solve that problem.

I had my bachelorette party here and it was a blast. The server was quick and didn't get our orders mixed up. Music was excellent. The bathrooms go downhill throughout the night. Not far from the downtown clubs.

The piano guys were awesome and they work so hard for the money. Absolutely worth the $12 cover charge. The server was nice but the food was very poor for everyone at our table. I ordered the beef dip sandwich which it says comes with au jus. It came with gravy instead which shows how unsophisticated the kitchen is. When I asked the server, she just shrugged her shoulders. I would go back for the entertainment but not the food!!

Amazing atmosphere, great music and excellent service.
Highly recommended. We had a absolutely great evening.

The piano was amazing, the people that played were very into the music and happy to be there but...
I have never received such terrible service before!!
I my self am a waitress, I understand being busy or having an off night but this was flat out terrible.
20 minutes to get the water we asked for?
She never came to the table unless we tracked her down
There was no introduction of who she was, very unfriendly and rude.
We went to the front to pay and she walked by us several times not saying a word to any of us ... a manager came and gave us the bill and then she came back said "Oh sorry" took payments with no thank you for coming or any kind of conversation.
Needless to say, I would never go some place and not tip because I am also a waitress but I wasn't about to tip her.
Not happy with the service.

Expensive bar, $6 for 2 pops? They weren't that large either

Didnt play Muffin Man by Frank Zappa despite $10 tip. Foood was ok. service was decent. 3 stars

Great place up beat atmosphere. Dueling Pianos out of this world!!!!!!

Coat check lost my wife's coat in -30 weather. Picked it up the next day, it was dirty from being trampled and stomped on by staff. No apologies.

Musicians were awesome, but the staff and management were un-awesome.

Great atmosphere everyone singing, relaxed people, talented musicians, awesome!

This place is amazing! Outstanding atmosphere! Great party, fantastic music! FUNNEST time in town. A stage stacked with talent! They can literally play anything! Best live music in town! Lots of seating but you wont need to sit!.. Standing ovation!!!!

I cannot thank the staff enough. We had a booking oopsie, and they managed to fit us in and make us feel welcome. The atmosphere is amazing, the entertainment is mind blowing. Food and drinks are absolutely awesome. Our waitress was wonderful and whenever we wanted to order anything it was like she had a crystal ball and appeared within seconds. I love this place and will definitely be coming back!! I highly recommend!!

Totally not what I expected, but amassing place, good food, great atmosphere! Can't wait to go back!

Why is all the food miniature. The food is very expensive. Even for the wine and specials. Service was average. I was disappointed with the sobgd

Had fun... Put some songs up with $5, $10 & $20's attached..only the ones with the $20's were partially played.... otherwise, friendly service, decent food and a pretty good time.

The atmosphere was awesome!!! We enjoyed the live band they were amazing. The servers were excellent, very polite and friendly on top of their game. We ordered calamari, nachos and spinach dip, wings and ribs oh the super hot, hot sauce went well the wings. Service was awesome guys.

This is a fun bar that is for sure, good overall value

Had a ladies night VIP package and wow what a blast, it was not busy but service was excellent aswell as the actual show itself. There are so many cool things out in the lobby to look at and take pictures with, we will definitely be back

Very poor food.. cheap and it was cold. Sort staffed. Panio people were good but didn't play our music as we didn't give enough money.. overall experience.. Sucks and I wouldn't recommend his place to anyone.

Sadie the pianist if an amazing musician and same with maddie she has a wonderful set of pipes on her

Good times with sing along songs and great performances.

The pianists were GREAT. Wonderful skills and performances. However, the food was incredibly subpar. There isn't a big selection, the prices are WAY too high considering it's just pub food, and the food doesn't even taste good. The seasoning is only salt. I guess the food annoyed me so much because there was already a cover fee of $13. Why have a high cover fee AND high priced food?

This place is awesome. The food is just okay, but the entertainment is amazing. Some pianists are far better than others, but the majority of times we've gone we've been more than impressed.
