Have been there several times over the years, in Rm #5 when that was the last room. Not recently, though recommendations to friends have always been positive! From views to service to room, always pleased. Tour of the brewery, a learning experience! From kippers and eggs to oatmeal and stout, fish and chips!!! And the beer, my first visit I misunderstood the tasters, got pints instead and thought my room would have been better on the 1st floor. We are now in Monmouth, OR and will be staying with you again soon we hope!

Everyone is so friendly and made our stay so great. We'll definitely be returning here. Spinnakers is a real "find" and glad our friends told us about it.

Grab a table in the Tap Room-go for the tables in the back so you can get a view of the mountains. Loved the beer & cheese pairing, would have loved to have just another bite or two of each cheese-but it was still a fabulous choice. Loved the meal and our server.

My husband and I have stayed at Spinnaker's on many occasions. Our favorite room is #4 in the Heritage House. Everyone always asks us why #4 (the smallest). Our answer - it's quiet and romantic. We will be staying there again in August and are so looking forward to it. Even when we have stayed elsewhere (because we had the kids along) we always come to Spinnaker's for dinner. The food is fantastic and the Scotch Ale is awesome. We wil be returning customers always.

We found Spinnakers on a Christmas visit in December 2007. We ate, we drank and then found out you had guest houses. We decided if we ever came back to BC, we would be your guests. Well, we're coming back in June for a retirement party in Abbottford and we've booked a Garden Suite for 5 nights. I can't wait!!! June will be so much more enjoyable than December and we're really looking forward to it. See you soon!

Not only do you have the best beer in Victoria but you also have the best mid week cricket team. Spinnakers Cricket Club lost one game in the 19 played this year and brought home both the League and the Knock-out Cups. They are proudly displayed in the pub. Take a minute to check them out.

The very best gastro experience in BC. Read the book and made the visit. I love the darker cream ales that are so difficult to come by unless you purchase an import. The waitress suggested the Jameson's scottish ale. It was just perfect. My wife enjoyed the tea. I had the Tuna. It was a perfectly cooked Just right crusted with local ingredients. My wife with some english roots decided she was going to have the Cornish Pasty. I am always tentative when she decides to tries to satisfy her palate for English foods in Canada.......but she and I were pleasantly surprised. It was very good. Next morning we decided on breakfast at a local coffee shop but changed our minds and went back to the Spinnacker's and ordered a fried fish each. Once again, we had a great time.....good service and excellent food. I purchased a few bottles of the Jameson's scottish ale and brought them back to Toronto. Great place, excellent views from the upper floor, superb food and even better beer. Definitely worth a trip. A bit hard to find. Wish they had signs after you cross the bridge.

We had the good fortune to find you brew pub in September while celebrating our anniversary. I was told by a few friends from Vancouver that have stayed in your guest lodge and raved about the food. We arrived early and enjoyed sitting on your deck, while trying a few brew specials and a new wine that I now love. We met many people all friendly and in particular a lady who was taking pictures for your new web site. We all had a great time and just made the last boat back to the harbour.

In addition to being a very pleasant and efficient server, I found her to be very knowledgeable and sincerely interested in food and wine, and she was just very genuine in her interaction. I think that is what made the difference for me, in terms of being a memorable experience - one I would repeat, and recommend.

Jai bien apprécié les deux été que jai passé à Esquimalt car le Spinnakers était sur le chemin de ma promenade sur le bord de leau et la bière, lambiance, la bouffe, tout était excellant. Je vais y revenir cet été. I will come back this summer!

We were guests in the 1884 Guesthouse for a week back in September. Since then, we have recommended Spinnakers to a number of friends, many of whom are now planning to vacation there. Without question, Spinnakers offers the best food, beer, accommodations, and most importantly, the friendliest staff of anyplace we have vacationed. Thank you for a fabulous trip!!

Discovered your place a couple of years ago, and was astonished at the gorgeous location, terrific service, and the exceptional quality of the food. Have been back 3 times since, and each time it just seems to get better. I am not even a beer drinker (gasp!), but was told by my traveling companions that your stuff is grrrreat. So on this last trip I actually had two - count them! - glasses of your ale. So there! Thanks for being there and I will be seeing you again.
