Ward 1 Lounge - Winnipeg

The food was delicious! Especially their soup. Was a little pricey considering portion size but otherwise a great place.

Pros: staff and the GM were super nice. Neat atmosphere and a good beer selection. Cons: I was very excited to eat here with some friends. Had a catfish po boy, another friend had the same. Two of my other friends had two cauliflower items. My catfish had such a strong fish taste I brought half home for my wife without saying anything. she reheated the item within an hour of arriving home, took one bite and said she couldn’t eat it saying it had a really bad fish flavour. An hour later I received messages from my friends who said they had bad stomach aches. Not sure if it was the fish or grease factor, but super disappointing.

Great space for a lengthy hang with friends. Wonderful service and cocktails. Unique menu with fun options for sharing.

The food, the atmosphere and the amazing selection of local craft beer or artisanal cocktails makes this somewhere you want to keep coming back to over and over again. Looking forward to a long summer of patio drinks on the best patio in the village!

I think your business would attract more customers if when I was there I could hear my friends. It was impossible to have a conversation and we played charades with the waitress. I don’t understand why you have large stand speakers next to tables with music blaring when you don’t even have a dance floor? What type of ambience are you trying to create ? And yes- I asked politely to turn down the music and got told too bad. No one enjoys this.
