Durham's Best Chicken Wings with over 50 flavors is what got us known, but it's the homemade menu that gave us our reputation. Our extensive menu with traditional pies, seafood, pastas, wraps and of course our 10oz burgers has something for everyone.

You'd be hard pressed to find better wings anywhere! They are plump, super meaty, and they come out piping hot and fresh. The sauces truly have something for everyone. The Montreal Smoked are our absolute fav!! A must-try... Slightly sweet, smokey and caramelized. Mango Habanero... another treat if you like it extra hot! Those are our two favorite sauces. Pineapple curry... also unique and... more
We've been coming to Magwyer's for years and it's always been our favourite pub in town. Since they renovated it accommodates even more guests and has a wonderful atmosphere. We visit once a week at least for wing night with friends or for family dinners.
Their wings are also fantastic! If you go on wing night (tuesdays) make sure to...

We were a large party of friends. We were coming out for dinner and drinks. The food is not the greatest like people have stated in previous comments. The food all came out cold. The service was really slow. Food Orders were missed. They cater more to elderly and small families. Not impress on my first visit.
Very good service, a decent menu with quite a bit of variety and a good selection of beers make this a great choice for a "pub night". A recently updated menu and extensive remodelling have turned around a pub that was starting to get a little run down. A good spot for supper and a couple of drinks with friends.
Have eaten at this decent pub many times. The food is much better than your usual pub fare and the menu extensive. My wife and I have tried several dishes; fish, pasta, steak, liver, roast beef and it has all been excellent as are the salads. Try the daily specials, always worth the money. Nice pint of Guinness and Kilkenny... more
Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a go. Good food and friendly enough. The special was an 8oz pub steak veg and starch with a pint for $12. I was all in and it was pretty good. Good hockey and sports talk at the bar and they were not shy about including a stranger to the... more
Really good local stop. They had a steak and pint special that sounded good so I gave it a spin. Pretty good dinner for $12. Veg meat spuds and beer! Folks working the joint were friendly and included me in the hockey talk. Highly recommended for a good local stop if you are traveling to the atea on biz like I was.
My husband and I used to play baseball for this bar I love Tom and I love his wife they have expanded the bar .... Now when you comin you don't feel like a can of sardines but I will tell you first time back since I've been in Florida and it took 3 tries to make me a BLT on rye now my girlfriend ordered a hamburger with a garden salad her food was perfect my disappointment is it a sandwich I'm... more
Decided almost at the last minute to dine out for this special day. Booked the day before and chose our entrée. Since my wife and I both like sea food the lobster was the obvious choice.
Our salads were tasty and just sufficient to get our appetites tuned up for the two large lobsters that followed.
Juicy and cooked to...

Went back to Magwyers after a lengthy absence. The last few times we went, the food was horrible and the atmosphere claustrophobic. Now, the pub has expanded and is quite a pleasant place! The service was terrific, and the food was okay - not superb, but not horrible either. It's a nice place...great selection of beer on tap, and you... more
Been a regular since it opened 15 or so yrs ago. Owners Tommy & Crystal are the best. Their staff is always on their toes & look after you. Lots of choices on tap, and food is always great.
They need to start offering local craft beers though, and some Ontario wine!
Looking forward to their new expansion.
So, my man and his friends have been going to this little place for awhile now. All I've heard is good things about the food, service and atmosphere. They would all go every Thursday for their Pint and a Pound Special for around $10. After hearing about how awesome this place is, I thought it was my turn to crash the boys' party and see what this place is all about.
It's in the middle of a...

The best wings I have ever had, but the service is horrible. I have had something wrong with my order every time I have visited. If you are particular about service that may pose a problem, but the wings and most of the items are amazing. Picture on profile is not taken at Magwyers, small place bit dingy looking.
Great Wings. Nice Ambiance.
Menu could use an update.
WAAAY to much Garlic in all the ground beef dishes. Burgers/Hot Ham/Shep pie etc.
great daily specials, friendly staff, awesome food. small so bigger parties should call ahead. has a nice "pub" vibe where its not blaring music and you can actually have a conversation with your table... patio is very small but apparently they are getting a real patio this spring... did i mention a premium glass of wine is $6??!!!! i also... more
This is the best pub in all of Ajax, great staff, great food! I love this place! I go there very often with my family on tuesdays for 59 cent wings or every 2nd thursday of the month oyester night! Bar is great food is always amazing and they have a nice variety of wing choices!
We go there semi regularly and never are disappointed.
Fast service, good pub fare and good atmosphere.
Sometimes have to wait for a table is the negative!
We have been here more than a flew times in the last several years for casual dining and refreshments but the chicken wings are some of the best In the area. The daily food specials offer great value and their menu is a step above regular pub fare. Try their sweet potato fries or onion bites along with some wings... more
Apart from the old standards, chicken pot pie, chicken wings, fabulous fries etc., this pub does a lot of great dishes you don't usually find in a pub. It used to be quite smoky but since the no smoking ban it is really a great place to eat. There are tv's but not too in your face so it's nothing... more
It's been a few years since I've been to Magwyers. Hubby and I stopped for lunch today. Place was almost full and it was mid afternoon. We ordered wings and nachos. The nachos were very good. The wings were okay but nothing special. Odd, because I remember them as having fantastic wings. Service was excellent even though there only appeared... more
The quality of the food and service here is very good. Prices are reasonable as are servings and the staff is friendly. The size (smaller) makes it a more intimate venue... more
Been going for years, hubby loves the food and it's one of the few places in ajax where you can order a proper drink. Wings, spicy chicken fingers, steak and guniness, stuffed yorkie. Everything on the menu is great. Place is usually busy and abit on the small side, but the place is a favorite of ours for years
Went there for years, but other than wings, food has become inconsistent, draft beer system is in serious need of upgrading as it is foamy and warm quite regularly now, and getting too many drunken sailors late at night.
Main nite bartender Peter, who's been there for maybe about 10 years now, is one of the best in the biz...

Ate here four times as we passed through on two weekends. Had 3 - 6 people depending on the night. We kept going back because the menu has lots of choices and the food is good. Some in our party who do not drink found the non-alcoholic beverage choices limited, but the draft and cider were lovely.
I have gone here frequently for 5 years, and it has never disappointed me. Very cozy, the staff are all very warm and friendly. First-time visitors will feel very welcome. The selection of beers on tap is quite decent, with a satisfying selection of domestics and imports. The real surprise here is the menu. It's quite extensive for a small... more
Magweyers is a decent place to go for a few pints or dinner. They have a Tuesday wing deal that is quite popular. I used to book a reservation for 7:30 on wing night but sometimes would have to wait for my table for like 10 minutes. Also one time I tried to order a "jager bomb" but they don't serve them because, according to the bartender "it gets people rowdy". Which I guess is understandable-... more
Definitely a local pub, if you want fine dining or a wine list you went to the wrong pub. If you want a good pint and pub grub then here is where you want to be. Great place to hang out and relax, do not forget to try thier wings.
Good small pub with great yorkie. Little cramped at times.
Ordered wings, soup and beers. Soup was good... Wings were average at best. They tasted of stale deep fryer grease and were to large... Couldn't fit them into the small plastic dipping sauce containers provided. They were also under cooked for my liking. Beer tastes like the taps and beer hoses need a good flushing and cleaning.
Best wings in Ajax by far. Their Tuesday wing night is the time to go, but it gets busy quick so get there early! Lots of flavours to choose from.
I have visited this pub in a few occasions and am yet to have a bad experience. The beer is of a good quality( draft can be a bit dodgy at times) and the service is excellent.
Walked in near 4 pm and had a pound of wings along with a pint of Keith's! The food was
terrific and service was outstanding! It is a small pub, with most standing near the bar, but it was very cozy the waitresses were terrific. Will be back again !
I eat a lot of chicken wings and as far as wings go, I have no hesitations about heading in to Magwyers for a pint and a pound. My friends and I drop in from time to time because it's so close and it's got a good look and feel.
Nothing overwhelms me with awesomeness, but a great deal of drunken awesomeness has happened within those walls.
It tends to have an 'older crowd', by which I mean...

I used to go here ALL THE TIME.
My boyfriend at the time lived across in the street in the apartments so it was close and easy to get to.
Classic pub food. They finally renewed the look of the place. Before it was all old and tacky but now it looks quite nice.
Staff are friendly and IF the manager is the still the same manager (Crystal), she is a sweetheart.
The staff are friendly though there...
