About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for craft beers
Welcome to the Irish Times Pub, where excellent design and authenticity are at the heart of downtown Victoria"s most exciting new pub!

Located at 1200 Government Street, the Irish Times Pub is home to 190 seats over two floors with 80 seats available on our patios, opening onto both Government Street and historic Bastion Square.

Our concept goes far beyond mere architecture though. The Irish Times opened with everything it takes to make a pub successfully Irish, including authentic Live Irish music, 7 nights each week.

The tradition of Ireland has also been extended to our menu, which has been developed on a philosophy of creating traditional Irish food and drink that is both contemporary and funky, showcasing Irish Pub Food as you would see in Ireland today.

    We came out for the Dine Around menu and it was delicious and an insane deal. $35 for a three course meal downtown is really great. I started with the Times Salad which was probably the best darn salad I’ve ever had, no joke. I had the shepherds pie for my main and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. All really good portions! Paired it with a nice pint of Kilkenny. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was great as always. I always enjoy my experience at Irish Times, but this was a nice treat! I highly recommend the dine around menu while it is still available! They also make a really delicious poutine if you’re into that kind of thing!!

    We had a great time!!! after making the reservation I didn't know exactly where we would be seated, but when we got there we were very happy with how they accommodated us, they gave us a really great area to have our party in. the staff were friendly and very accommodating. I'm very glad I booked this 8 person reservation for my girlfriend's birthday at Irish Times.
