It's about bloody time there was a decent eatery at Uptown.

'Decent' is a fairly accurate way to describe that place.

You'll notice I didn't say great or outstanding in regards to BSH.

Today was their formal official opening at the Uptown location; we just happened to go there purely by coincidence as its down the road from our mom's care facility.

 

The place was jammed by 1pm. Pretty clearly, and especially once that rental tower is built and they have essentially 2-300 captive residents directly across the way, this location is going to be a resounding success. Had the 2-pc halibut and chips and I have to say it was one of the better fish & chips dishes I've had in this town and for a very reasonable $20 to boot. The house coleslaw was excellent too with a nice cilantro and pine nut kick. We'll definitely go back.

Right across from the proposed brewpub at Dockside, right?

Nah, there's no brewpub coming to Dockside. That was a pipe dream from a decade back.

I thought the cider place up island was opening at Dockside?

Oh that place!! Yes, that's right, a liquor distillery is coming to Harbour Road.

 

But at the corner where the crosswalk is now a brewpub had been envisioned from day one. It never materialized.

Dollars-to-doughnuts some sort of brewery will eventually make its way into the Roundhouse development. Of course that won't be until the 22nd century so I don't see the local market getting saturated quite yet.

^ There's also the rumour that Hoyne is looking at the Albion property. Mark your calendars for the Vic West Brewpub Crawl 2317

FWIW, there's a Brown's Crafthouse in Fort Saint John, and one is opening in downtown Vancouver before the end of the year. Will have to check it out when it opens to see how different from the Social House it is!

Westside Village doesn't show any signs of activity.

At Westside Village the pavement has been marked for utilities and there is a coring company onsite. Looks as if they will be expanding the footprint of the building.

Finally some movement on this after what seems like years of rumours!

Oh, no rumours here! The company itself confirmed the plans for a new location. That was less than a year ago so things may have changed but this is what was planned then: https://victoria.cit...use-restaurant/

FWIW, the Browns Crafthouse in Vancouver opened a few weeks ago. It's the second location, with the first being Fort Saint John. Menu leans more toward pub fare, with emphasis on appies, tacos, and sandwiches. 20 taps plus a selection of bottled beers, lots of cocktails, and wines. Exterior an interior finishings look basically the same as a Browns Social House.

And in other Browns Crafthouse news, there's one going in at Main and 16th in Vancouver. They're holding a vote on the name: Browns Super Duper Community Bierhall, or Browns Crafthouse.

 

Seriously.

I know that, but there's still (today included) a 'For Lease' sign right out front of that building and it still (today included) looks like a bank that's been abandoned for years with no signage, or indication of any activity whatsoever, it doesn't inspire any confidence. 

 

I'll actually believe it when something happens.
