The Drake Eatery is opening their very own beer garden in Victoria’s Market Square

Share

An awesome new summer destination for fans of local craft beer is about to open its doors (benches?) in downtown Victoria!

Since 2014, the Drake Eatery & Craft Beer Parlour has been a staple of downtown’s Market Square, offering not only a selection of delicious brews but also a variety of tasty treats.

Now, they’ve expanded their provisions to a larger location which encompasses part of the lower level of Market Square.

As of 12 p.m. Wednesday, June 10, craft beer lovers can enjoy a selection of ten unique beers and one craft cider in the new open-air beer garden; wine and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available.

They will also have their entire food menu up for grabs inside the beer garden, in case you want some accompaniment to your favourite malty beverage.

If indoors is more your jam, The Drake also offers an extensive tap list upstairs in their main location, which rotates and is posted to their website daily.

Where: 517 Pandora Avenue (Beer Garden in Market Square)
