Renfrew Pub

Vancouver Island


Summer drinking here is all about snagging a spot on the patio alongside the wharf. On lazy days, it's hard to peel yourself away from the shimmering shoreline views, especially if you've a round or two of BC craft ale. Pure joy, especially if you've just emerged from a hike on the West Coast Trail. The food's good too.

The pub is tacked onto the historic Port Renfrew Hotel.
