The Woolwich Arrow

Great Atmosphere & Service - Food continues to be...meh...

We went for dinner recently as we live in the area and love the Wooly for its atmosphere, choice of beers on tap etc....I just really wish that the food was better..as I remain quite surprised at the overall 'averageness' of the entrees here. Yes, they use locally grown, organic ingredients...I get and support that..but the portion size and flavour leave me unimpressed. Service is always great...and the beer is plentiful and cold...but I think I'll just start going there for beers and maybe fries (which can be hit and miss)...there are just much better places close by (IMO) to get a better pub meal. I will say that of our three meals...mine was the best..a traditional chicken burger with salad..the house dressing was nice. Based on our experience I would not recommend the Cobb salad (very small portion and was drenched in ranch dressing) or the chicken tenders which were just average.

Lunch on the front porch on a beautiful day. Although we weren't beer drinkers, I can see the attraction as they had a board listing all the different brands they carry. Our server was attentive. Good sense of humour, refilled our glasses promptly. Food was excellent. Hot and plentiful. Fresh, homemade fries. Not those frozen, coated ones that everybody seems to be using.

Best Pub Grub In The City

This is the best pub in the city to eat at, The food is local organic grown, and they have a nice selection of local beers on tap. I have yet to find a pub with better Shepherd's pie! Get there early on a weekend the places is fills up fast!

A Great Public House

I've been going to the "Wooly" for years and it is a great little pub. The food is always reliably good and there are all kinds of great microbrews on tap. It can get stuffy on a humid evening but that somehow adds to the charm. I always hit the Wooly whenever I return to Guelph and next time you are looking for a fun pub experience you should too!

Pretty good

I've been to the woolly several times, and while it does have a terrific selection of good beers you can't often find other places, the food can be hit or miss. On one occasion, my friend ordered the bison chili, and it wasn't hot when it arrived - it had clearly been sitting for a while before it was served. I've also had terrific appetizers, and the specials can be quite delicious, especially a pesto pasta I had once.
