Very new looking and attractive inside and out. The craft brews here are very well done and tasty. You can tell the brew master's recipes are spot-on. I love the beer here. Lots of care and attention is going into the brewing. Canoe, Swans, and Spinnaker's have the best tasting micro-brews in Victoria. What they could use is some live music and a dance floor, but that would mean fewer tables and lost revenue since the place does fairly brisk business. It's very modern and nice and a good place to go for lunch or dinner with no chance of a bad experience. The only down side is that it is next door to a homeless shelter. Yes, in Victoria they have so much compassion that waterfront property is provided for the homeless. Go figure.
