Amazing Food. Great Price
July 30, 2014We had a small party of 11 in the Governors Room. The service was great. The waiter was funny and knowledgeable. He even gave the kids a lesson on what silverware to use for each dish. Afterwards everyone was talking about how much they loved the meal they ordered. Everyone's steak was done to perfection. The quality of food was... more

Good food and drink
July 24, 2014The place is a little to outdated in decor which did not affect the food nor drink. I found the menu to be diverse and the meal I ordered was okay but nothing exceptional. Overall a decent place

Phenomenal
July 12, 2014
We were celebrating our anniversary and decided to revisit Baileys for the first time in many years. Our decision was quite correct. For those that have not been there, Bailey's is located downtown right near Portage and Main. This may present problems in terms of parking, especially on Friday and Saturday nights.
The interior of the building differs from room...

May 16, 2014Our first time here was enjoyable. Very character setting in the Exchange District Down town Winnipeg. Our Waiter was humorous yet professional and All the food was exquisite. Chicken was melt in your mouth herbed greatness, french onion soup was better than anywhere I have ever had. The drinks we did have were also great. Another really friendly exciting waitress... more

Great place, will be back
April 09, 2014Winnipeg has the most restaurants per capital in North America. And most of the really good. When somebody mentioned that they had the most restaurants per capital I said 'what?' I was there for dinner, and it was a little cold that day in Winnipeg. I started off with a consommé made with sherry, absolutely stunning. Then time for their... more

May have been nice when the Rat Pack was around
March 08, 2014
THE GOOD: The downtown location is nice as are the bones of the building - a nice old landmark.
THE BAD: The place looks like it had it's heyday in the 60's and the menu appears to be from that era too. We had Lamb shanks which were stringy and dry. The rest of the accoutrement was very cafeteria style....

December 29, 2013I'll admit it: I don't particularly enjoy New Year's Eve.

Not a place for Vegetarians
December 14, 2013On December 13th we attended a family birthday party at Bailey's with reservations for over 20 people with me being the only vegetarian in the group. We sat upstairs and we had good service from the staff. When looking over the menu no vegetarian options were available. Upon request, a sheet of paper was promptly provided by the wait staff... more

Great, but expensive
October 09, 2013The food is amazing, service is great, drinks great...but a little on the pricey side. We brought some cash from our hotel room thinking it would be enough but turns out I could only have 1 beer with my meal. But, great place, I highly recommend it.

Historical Ambience
September 02, 2013The ambience is unique and historical and the restaurant has great lunch specials and usually very good food. Last few times I ate there the service wasn't as good and the food was ok. I intend to go back to see if it has returned to its usual great service great lunch.

I have read all the reviews for Bailey's. I have concluded that the review from TK26_12 as reviewed in October 2012, is so completely accurate that I can only add a few extra comments that are related to my experience.

Average
May 04, 2013This is a "higher end " restaurant therefore I arrived with " high-end" expectations. The decor was very nice and this restaurant appeared to fit the high end vision that I had imagined. Our reservation was screwed up and we waited 25 mins for a drink. Everyone had a different dish and my prime rib was less than impressive. I... more

Overrated
May 01, 2013
Even though it's a Winnipeg institution, I find that Bailey's is overrated. They are supposedly known for their steaks, but mine have always been thin, dry and not very flavourful. As much as it pains me to say it, for these prices, you'll even get a much better steak at The Keg.
The main floor lounge looks fairly nice, but...

Excellent Value and Unique Atmosphere
April 27, 2013This is one of my favourite lunch spots downtown. The building and decor is turn of the century and pulls you into a different time. The food is well priced for a great meal. Service has always been fantastic.

Could be better
April 14, 2013
I have been to Baileys 3 times. Twice in the lounge where there is no service, not even bad. I enjoy the room, so go back in hopes that some Manager somewhere has decided to create a standard for service, so far no luck.
My husband and I had dinner upstairs and WOW! what a difference. Hard to believe that...

We met another couple for dinner here recently. I had not been here for quite a long time, but had good memories of past visits.
I was seated facing their large south windows which would have given me a nice view of Portage and Main, except for the fact that the windows were filthy with dust and grime. If the...

Best Bar. A highlight, possibly THE highlight, of my trip
April 13, 2013I can't speak greatly to the dining experience, as the only food I had was the shrimp cocktail and steak sandwich, which I ordered at the bar. Both were plenty decent but not noteworthy. But the bar was what made this place memorable: the bartender, Jason. I should also add that my one visit here when Jason was not on... more

A great farewell luncheon for a good friend and colleague
March 26, 2013This was one of those bittersweet occasions when a valued friend and colleague retires. Bailey's is located close to where most of us work and we decided to celebrate here.

December 20, 2012The thought of going to Bailey's for lunch really excited me. I had the impression this was a fancy place to eat. First impression walking in was a bit of confusion.

Bailey's. Meh
December 04, 2012In town for the week and was in the mood for lamb. After getting no service at Arkadash I left and decided to try out Bailey's instead. The entrance was a bit confusing. When you walk in, there is a lounge downstairs and a staircase leading up. I wandered into the lounge area and was promptly ignored, presumably because one... more

November 28, 2012I really like the old school character feel when you walk in, It put off a certain warmth, something I really enjoy.The food was great and my date and I had a really enjoyable evening out.I think the menu is due for a change though its kind of all over the place.Definitely will be back.

Great if you like Old School feel
October 27, 2012I went here with a group. We had a fixed choice menu. The service was great, excellent in fact considering we were a large group. Nice wines. The food wasn't anything special. We had a garden salad with store bought croutons and dressing that wasn't too good. I had the veal scallopene that had good flavor but was really tough.... more

Tired, old & sad! Disappointment abounds at this once regal establishment
October 01, 2012Tired, old & sad covers the food, the decor & the ambiance. Where once this was a guaranteed great evening out, now it seems like a bit of a wasted space. Menu is very dated but not in a good traditional steakhouse kind of way. No imagination & sorely lacking the finesse & flavourful take of a modern day restaurant.... more

Absolutely a must to eat at
September 17, 2012My husband and I and our 2 "kids" and their spouses had a meal here last December. We all enjoyed it SO much, and our kids have agreed this was the absolute best restaurant we've been to as yet! From start to finish, it was amazing!! We definitely plan on going back.
