    Good to be able to get buck a shuck at 11 pm ever day, especially goes well with the clear thoughts cocktail. Would definitely be back again. Thanks for the great service!

    I recently visited Watson’s Bar with friends, and we had an absolutely amazing time! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a night out. The cocktails were not only great but also incredibly creative, each drink showcasing a unique blend of flavors that left us thoroughly impressed. The food was equally delightful, with every dish we tried being delicious and perfectly crafted. Watson’s Bar exceeded our expectations in every way, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy a fantastic evening with friends.

    Stopped by Watson’s for drinks / snacks before our evening concert and were pleasantly surprised! Delicious appetizers - best beef tartare I’ve had in some time. The drinks menu was not available for some reason but the bartender took the opportunity to create the most delicious custom drinks for us! Kudos to him for asking for our flavour palates and incorporating them into our multiple drinkies. Nothing super fancy but left feeling satisfied and will likely be back.

    This restaurant is amazing, as are the staff, Ali and Cina( sorry if the spelling is wrong) We go monthly, as seniors we have to respect the budget.. It was a full house yesterday and we were happy to see the success.
