Bedwell harbour, Port Browning on the Penders.  Both good pubs.

The Hummingbird is the pub at Montague..they run the 'pub bus' in the
summer.  (I think it still runs..anybody know?)

Lots on Saltspring...don't forget Vesuvius and Fulford.  (in addition to
Ganges).

Don't forget the Vancouver Island pubs.

Larry

and I'm sure Larry would mention the Brig & Shipyard in Maple Bay !

[some snippage above...]

Port Browning on the east side of North Pender - and there's probably
something in Bedwell Harbour (west side of South Pender, where the
customs office is)

Right: Port Browning was the one I was thinking of! (Bedwell is just a
BIT snooty for my taste...)

   Thank you for reminding me about Vesuvius - I'd heard there's a good
pub there.

   Hmmm... know of any in particular? Most on the "big Island" are kinda
lobber-like from my experience - maybe some in Sidney?

   Thanks for the suggestions!

We took the pub bus in mid-September from Montague.  The Hummingbird is
close to the ferry terminal at Sturdies Bay.  We ate out on the lawn because
we had our kids with us.  Nice folks, reasonably good pub fare, great beer.

jps

Protection Island pub.  Ferry from Nanaimo. Walk the Island. Meet
the fauna.

Yeah, that's the one at Newcastle. Not bad, a bit yuppy. Once, I was
trying to sleep around midnight, and the heavy-rock band there was
playing a heavy-metal version of Waltzing Matilda in honour of all the
Ozzies that were there (there were at least 3 Ozzie boats in the bay...)

   I have refused to go to Newcastle because it's too close to a city, too
noisy, etc. But I read an article in PY that noted that it's REALLY nice 
in the "off-season". Once I get my heater installed, I'm gonna try it.

   Donno if they have entertainment at the pub in the  off-season,
though...
