WINKS LONDON Review

Great place for a few drinks and maybe some live music if you are in on the right night.

Great place to grab a bite and a few beers. Cozy atmosphere, great food, nice staff, and they usually have live music.

One of my go to dinner places downtown.
A good menu of fairly typical bar fare with a really good selection at the bar.
Typically fast friendly service by day and gets busy with a bar and college crowd by night.

Enjoyed watching the raptor game there with friends. Had some craft beer but would like to see more local craft beer selection. Staff good. Food good. Relaxing atmosphere

Awesome place. Great food at amazing prices. Check out the wings and ribs.

Goat cheese & beet salad is my favourite.
Very efficient staff and great daily deals.
Tuesdays they offer music bingo which is always a fun time.
Live bands

Good food, quick service. Quesadillas are phenomenal.

The service can be somewhat slow at times but is nothing unusual for London, tonight I tried the Bacon Mac and cheese which was perfectly cooked, it was creamy and had a nice crunchy crust on the top!

Food quality is not consistent. I come here often for work gatherings, it's a mediocre place with mediocre food.

Had agreat time karaoke sunday couples weeks ago definitly a must see

I don't frequent Winks as much but my friends do. They have decent drink deals and great staff. I just make a point to avoid karaoke of any sort.

Great place and atmosphere and the food is delicious

The veal sandwich was amazing and the staff were really nice!

Favorite bar! Always good live music on weekends great food and great drink specials

Been going to Winks regularly for 14 years, great staff, great service, and some of the best wings I've ever had. Definitely recommend it for any occasion!

Been going here for over a decade. Always great service, friendly atmosphere and great food.

Absolute worst service I have ever had. Waited over an hour to order food with no success. Had to go to the bar to order our own drinks, and to get a menu. After which the waiter walked past our table over 10 times without even acknowledging our existence. Spoke to management about the issue and simply told "sorry for your poor experience". This was our go to place but we will no longer be going to this place

Great food, good prices, awesome staff. Won't be my last hungover brunch at Winks!

My go to for brunch with my friends. The breakfast poutine is amazing there, always get it with my meal. Fast and friendly service too.

Yummy food! Great drinks! Always a blast with activities.

Affordable. Good staff. Patio. Art nights. Great night life. Good breakfast.... Truly a greatfind.

Great atmosphere and the staff is on top of things.

Best bar in London, great food and service is quick and easy going. Wings are some of the best in town, Rock n Roll bingo is one of the better nights of the week for Richmond Row.. Fooseball is always fun and plenty of tv's to watch the game. Highly recommended.

I like coming here to meet up with friends. Usually a bunch of people show up for the karaoke night on Sunday; they also have half-price wings Sunday too and will mix flavors together (I like to get medium, or fire and ice, on the dry rub); they have a good selection. Another awesome deal they have are large English pint glasses filled for only $10!

They have a nice patio with hedges that go all the way around, as well as having an optional entrance/exit beside the front door of the whole place. Inside has a fun feel, with different areas to sit depending upon how your feeling/what you're doing. And there are TVs all over.

To top it off, they also have a foosball table to have a blast while enjoying that big pint of beer!

Only downside to this place is they only have 2 toilets on the main floor (1 male/1 female); the guys can get a bit dirty when it's busier; personally I think they should try and clean it once or twice a night when it gets busy. The main bathrooms are downstairs and to get to the staircase you have to go back to the entrance.

Overall, fun time, good beer and food.

Had lunch today. Had a Caesar with chicken. It was okay. I had water to drink and my bill came to 18$.

Fun place to hang out with friends and grab some food.

Best place to grab a drink and a bite to eat! Quality food, great service. Nate the Bartender is top notch

Very fun place to hangout. The service could be better. We had a hard time finding a server

Lively bar without it being too loud, decent pub food, alright beer selection.

Really good food, reasonable prices, and always friendly fun staff.

Karaoke and wrestling pay per view nights here are awesome

The best BBQ chicken wings we've ever tasted in London. The waffles with chicken is heaven!

Excellent food and atmosphere. One of the older restaurants in London and for good reason, their food is tasty! Price is good, and staff are warm and welcoming. The bathrooms are kept clean. Parking is the only issue since impark owns the lots nearby you'll probably have to pay. Overall though an excellent place to get a meal.

Great food and drinks. Wings are amazing. Reasonable prices too.

Great place for a group of friends out for multiple pitchers of beer and appetizers. Good music. Beware of the scary concrete stairs going down to the washrooms though!

Best patio, huge portions, great waitstaff always a great time at winks

Mexican fries are fantastic, service is usually good

Great food and service. Breakfast poutine upgrade is a must!

was not pleased with the service. I ordered te pancakes with "extra eggs" the amount of eggs looked like a half of an egg. plus they forgot my coffee when they delivered it!

A good bar to go to with your sports teams. Good beer selection, nice patio and usual pub fare. They do have live music, but it's not bands, more of the one man act type which isn't my thing. When it's on its VERY loud inside and I don't love that in a pub. Conversation with the people I am with over a pint is more my idea of a good pub

Often their for paint night. Good for that event. Sweet potato fries are wonderful!

Trivia night is unrivalved, and I'd you haven't had a Big Wink, you haven't had a good night out with the lads.

I went to Karoake Sunday. It was a blast. I didn't order anything, but it was still a fun atmosphere.

Not a bad place to have a drink and a bite. Keep the expectations in line with the menu prices, and you'll be pleased.

The layout is very disorganized, and having to leave the restaurant to go down stairs to use the washroom is very inconvenient.

Fun spot for an evening hangout. Good service, drinks and food. Has a nice patio and isn't usually too busy which is great.

Mediocre food and booze. If you're looking for a casual, University place, this is the spot.

Rock and Roll Bingo every Tuesday,,Great time every time

If you could give it a zero. Worst delivery food ever. We started out with a burger from Wink's, and it was great. Tried them a second time and the burger was gross. Tried them one more time hoping for the best...disgusting. Ordered almost 75.00 worth of food and threw most of it out. The dessert (lava cake) was rock hard..it literally took a chip out of my tooth and my wife threw hers out. The burger was gross...greasy, nasty and had no flavour at all. My wife ordered the 24.00 meal..all meat..hard as rock and the steak was all gristle. (Yes Canadians..that's how you spell gristle). The ribs were so hard to eat and nasty we threw them out. We will not be ordering from them again. There goes another 75.00.
The best part of this is "word of mouth" and since we are the supers of a luxury building that caters to over 250 university kids...we will be talking. Thank you Winks for taking our hard earned money.

I will admit, my burger from my visit from this past Saturday wasn't as good as it's been (overcooked and dry), and the Caesar salad sickeningly sour, but the apps and hash browns I stole from the others at our table were great. My friends and I have been coming here since they opened, and this is the first time I can remember it not being up to par. The elements were there, just whomever was in the kitchen dropped the ball that day. Might have just been an off day, or maybe just me. *shrug*. I'm sure I'll be back. I just hope this isn't a trend, 'cause I like this place.

Friends and I go here often, reasonably priced drinks and food. Usually live entertainment or trivia every night of the week. Highly recommend!

Went for the Rock and Roll bingo night, but karaoke and live music can also be found here. Great service even though the bar was packed! Definitely arrive early for events as seating is pretty limited and fills up quickly. Refreshing alternative to UK-style pubs.

I have eaten at this restaurant on a number of occasions as it is very local to me. There has never been a visit that was not enjoyed going here but wanted to take the opportunity to give it a quick review. On this particular occasion I was there for opening at 11:00am. Note the time, as the advertising outside and the website both indicate that it is 10:00am so this is important. I debated on getting breakfast, but instead opted to start with a Caesar Salad and then had the Tai Chicken wrap. The server kept my coffee full, but as it appeared she was still opening the restaurant a little inattentive at times. I had eaten half my meal, and was waiting to have it boxed up for almost 10 minutes while she counted the cash for the till. When she did finally come over, I said I wanted to take the rest to go so that I had room to eat desert. Unfortunately, instead of coming back with a desert menu as I had expected she came back with the bill. The do still keep me coming back though, as they have lots of items on the menu I like, and enjoy it even more when the patio is open. I find the interior to be very busy, and at times tacky. They are also getting more and more TV s inside for the sports fan, so not sure if they are trying to make a change.

Great pub. They always have live music, a great assortment of drinks, and drink deals.

Even though I ate with 3 big losers (Paul, Al, Jim) the staff made it bearable, even enjoyable! Thanks will come again, as soon as I can find some better friends.

Sunday night karaoke is always a fun time at Wink's! They also have excellent breakfast!

Good pub food for good prices. Wednesday night trivia is always fun

Stopped with a friend and she ordered a Sangria, it was expensive, and only a cherry and lime for fruit. Will not return.

Great staff, very efficient. I happened to have the bartender Melissa and she was excellent. Engaging in conversation and just being an all around great waitress. I ve been here before as well and it s always excellent service. Melissa was fantastic though.

Great patio here. Was visiting town with my wife and stopped in to meet a few friends. Great service, great food! It was our server's first day and she did an excellent job. Only concern is there were hornets everywhere, not much the people there can do. Pricing is very reasonable and more than worth it for the quality of food and drink.

The service is friendly and knowledgeable. The food, oh my!! HOT and delicious. You definitely get your money's worth. I had the fish and chips and it wasn't oily or grease... the funnel fries drizzled with caramel sauce was amazing!!!!! Definitely a place I would want to take my soon to-be-wife for dinner one night :)

Last week I came to winks for Monday 69 cent wings. They were great! This week I came back and the service was very slow. The chicken smelled funny like it could be old. Also, the wings were almost dry without any sauce. I waited almost 10 minutes for the server to come back to ask for more sauce... by the time she got here and I got some more honey garlic my wings were ice cold. She just dropped the sauce off on the table and walked away so fast, I didn't even have time to stop and possible ask for some new hot wings. Too bad the honey garlic sauce wasn't heated, it would have just been cold on cold and maybe even more gross. I would love to come back if I had the same experience and food quality as last week.
