Restaurant Name: Spinnaker's

Spinnakers is first and foremost a micro-brewery, and you will be confronted by this when you walk in the door. The stainless steel tanks in the brew room are right there for everyone to see.

Spinnakers was the first brew pub licensed in BC - going back to 1984. Not to be outdone by the beer and food, the view of Victoria's Harbour and the Olympic Mountains is superb, and the walking path which follows much of Victoria's shoreline passes right through Spinnaker's front yard.

If you want the Westcoast experience, sit on the patio, sip a quality brew, and order some seafood. It doesn't get better than this...especially on a sunny summer day.

Favorite Dish: The seafood on the menu is second-to-none. Any menu here is delicious and will leave you full and satisfied! The comprehensive selection of high quality beers on tap will serve every taste.
