The Dickens

The Dickens Now, let's gab about the grub. Our menu offers a tempting blend of classic British pub favourites and modern delights. Need to wet your whistle? No Problem!

Located in Village Square The Dickens Pub is one of Downtown Burlington's most famous establishments serving up incredible Pub Fare, Live Entertainment, a heated patio and more! Step into The Dickens, Burlington’s favourite British pub nestled in the heart of Village Square, where the charm of yesteryear meets the mischievous spirit of today. Housed in a gloriously restored 1800s heritage building

, our iconic pub defies the ordinary, radiating a playful charm that would make Charles Dickens himself raise an eyebrow. We're not ones for bragging, but we're certain you'll find something to please your taste buds for lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch. We've got 16 beers on tap to quench your thirst, plus a selection of good, honest cocktails to keep your spirits high and your inhibitions low. As Burlington's most infamous spot for music and nightlife, The Dickens is open till 2am daily and has a well-earned reputation for raising the roof. We've got the city's biggest karaoke party on Thursdays – you know, for when you're feeling like a rockstar – and live music every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to keep your toes tapping and your soul grooving. So come on down to The Dickens. Raise a pint, share a laugh, swap a tale, and make some memories in the most delightfully unexpected British pub this side of the pond.

You’ve laughed at it, quoted it, probably watched it more times than you’ll admit… 🎬
Adam Sandler Trivia Night hits The Dickens on July 13th at 7:59PM, with the kind of questions that feel easy — until they’re not, and suddenly your whole table’s arguing over who actually remembers it right.

Pints going around 🍺, food hitting the table 🍔, and one answer away from either looking like a genius or completely losing it.

Free to play. Reservations required.

Different cravings call for different orders.

Some days it’s Lemon Pepper Calamari to start things off. Other days it’s Parmesan + Truffle Frites in the middle of the table that somehow everyone keeps reaching for. Then there’s the Prime Rib Poutine, built for when you want something heavier, and the Avocado Club when you’re keeping it a little lighter.

There’s more happening on the menu at The Dickens than most people expect.

Happy Hour, but make it grape. 🍷

Some people hear birds. Some people hear traffic. We prefer the sound of a fresh pour hitting the glass.

$6 Jackson-Triggs 6oz wine pours during Happy Hour, Monday–Friday from open to 5PM.

Come for one… make your own decisions after that. 🍷

Midweek doesn’t have to be quiet.
Open Mic at The Dickens is where it all comes out — the good, the rough, the unexpectedly great. Music, comedy, whatever you’ve been sitting on… this is your night to put it out there.
Sign up starts at 8:30PM, show kicks off at 9PM.
No pressure, just a room that’s actually paying attention.
Walk in, put your name down, and see what happens.

Steak & Mushroom Pie.
A proper British pub staple — pies like this go back centuries, built to turn slow-cooked meat into something rich, filling, and worth sitting down for.
Tender chunks of steak and button mushrooms in a red wine gravy, served with mashed potatoes and buttered green peas.
Try it next time you’re at The Dickens.

Full menu’s up on our website.

Wine at Happy Hour doesn’t usually get this much attention… but here we are.
At The Dickens, it’s $6 (6oz) Jackson-Triggs from open to 5PM, Monday to Friday — easy to order, even easier to stay for another.
If you’ve only ever come in for pints, this might be your excuse to switch it up.

Dirty Bingo is back at The Dickens. 🔥
Monday, June 15 • 8PM • 19+
Mondays aren’t supposed to look like this… but here we are.
Cards in one hand, drink in the other, and the room getting louder by the minute.
Kenadie St. James is back running the chaos — quick wit, zero filter, and prizes that definitely don’t belong in polite conversation.

Free to play. Reservations required.

Book your table, show up ready, and let Monday get a little out of hand.
Bingo… but filthy. 😏
