Great happy hour specials. Food was good and beer selection very good. If you are going to watch a sport event you better hope it is what everyone else wants to see....all the TVs had to be on the same channel....very odd, otherwise 5 stars.

Over-priced
August 18, 2014

This is our local bar and so we really want to support it. But having done so for 3 yrs, we're ready to call it a day. The prices have crept up progressively, the food menu has become sub-par, and the venue is looking tired. They claim to have beers from around the world but whenever we've tried ordering something... more

Lost it's luster
June 02, 2014

We wanted to try Luxalune based upon reading some other reviews. Sadly, did not live up to expectations. In general the facility looks tired and worn, getting a bit threadbare in spots and definitely past needing a major makeover.
Decent beer menu. They were pushing Farmery Beer so we gave it a try and didn't find it particularly satisfying... bit... more

Better than pub food
May 19, 2014

I met a big group of friends here on a Saturday night... too bad they don't like taking reservations, but luckily we all found tables. It's a nice looking pub and the service is very good too. I ordered loaded fries and they was delicious! Potato wedges, topped with cheese, onions and green peppers which reminds you of a Mexican... more

Nothing too special
May 03, 2014

Went here first for a bachelor party pub crawl. They have a nice selection of beers from around the world but many of them are fairly expensive. Something I noticed when i was there was the temperature was quite hot and humid inside, not fun to be sweating as you are drinking. The tvs were enjoyable to watch the hockey... more

My husband and I went to what was once one of our favourite places only to be sorrily disappointed. Arrived shortly after 5 pm and found they no longer had the happy hour appetizer specials.

Was at Luxalune with a large group of friends. The establishment was packed on a Saturday night. Service was pretty good despite it being so busy. Drank a variety of beers. All very good.

Good food, but maybe not quite 'gastropub' good
April 12, 2014

Pub atmosphere, including pool tables. A little noisy, in a nice way. Menu not as fancy as a gastropub would be in Europe, and rather limited.Great selection of beers. Everything we had was good. I especially liked the Halibut Tacos, and my brother enjoyed his Thai Pizza.

The beer selection is great but you can find pretty much everything they serve at the liquor mart. It would be nice to see a selection of unique bets you can't get anywhere else. The food is good although the tapas seem over priced for the portion size. Good atmosphere and nice place to go worth friends.

Love the beer selection and the casual atmosphere. We went on wednesday so it was pretty chill, but I could see this place being pretty busy on a weekend.

I had the loaded pub fries with pulled pork. They were delicious. The greek flatbread was yummy too.

On the weekends they have live music so definitely going to go back to check that out.

Great Place to Taste a World of Beers

I've been here twice and look forward to going back.

Was at Luxalune the other night to watch the Jets game. Place has a good atmosphere - especially when it's packed with sports fans. Good selection of beers.

It's All Relative
April 13, 2013

I've been here a number of times over the years and finally decided to review this place. The main distinguishing feature of this "gastropub" is the beer selection, and it does, indeed, have the largest selection of bottles in Manitoba. However, any well-travelled beer geek will find the selection mediocre, as its mostly just whatever is available in Manitoba government-run... more

Beer pub with atmosphere, and good beers
February 12, 2013

Traffic was crazy on S. Osborne, time for a break from the crazies on the road instead of rusing home to make supper. New beer from Manitoba was intro;d & recommended by waitress Farmery. It was and will have it again. Appies were reasonable and tasty.

Awesome place! It's a huge space that has a few different sections to sit in ranging from booths, bar style tables/chairs to lounge style seats. There's even pool tables. I was there on a Tuesday night and the place definitely filled up by about 9 pm. It was a mixed crowd that had a casual, fun yet laid back vibe! It was lively yet you can carry a conversation with the people near you.

I've dined here about 7 times. I have never had a bad meal, although I will say I haven't always loved what I ordered. I really enjoy their pizzas (Thai chicken...wow!). The ingredients are always high quality, although it seems strange they only offer one size. They also offer them for take out. I also enjoy the goat cheese, although... more

Service has been horrible every time I've gone there. Servers take FOREVER to get anything to you and come back very slowly. This happens nearly every time I've been there. The managers there do not care whatsoever about their customers when concerns are brought up and that is beyond frustrating since you're there spending random amounts of money on beer (no prices listed on the menu).

We Checked Out their New Menu
July 23, 2012

There is something immensely satisfying about supporting a neighbourhood place like Luxalune Gastropub. Most Winnipeggers know the story of the Warwaruk brothers and their efforts to save the family farm by opening Lux Sole (one of Winnipeg’s original Tapas restaurants), followed by their move to the Gastrobpub concept and Luxalune.
Our biggest decision of the evening was which on the... more

Pros: amazing selection of beer, nice open space, comfy seating, friendly staff. And the name "Luxalune" is catchy. I like that.

Luxalune is HORRIBLE ! I had reservations for a party and once our group arrived, the reservation was given away to someone else they thought was my group and had not confirmed their names.

This place is great! I love that they have beer from across the globe! I went to the Winnipeg Beer Festival and had a great time but didn't get a chance to try all of the beer so it was nice to come to this place and see them on the menu. Great place to go with a small or bigger group. Nice atmosphere, I just wish it wasn't so far away from me!

Luxalune is the nearest drinking establishment to a gym where I go weekly. After giving this place several chances, I won't go back. Staffing is minimalist and ridiculously slow.

If I was voting on just the beer they are five stars. However we met another couple here and had the food. There was nothing of note in anything we had, and in some ways (other then the beer) we regretted this choice over the other place we we thinking of meeting. Would I go back, short answer is I have not yet, but on a hot summer day, and with so much good beer I may change my mind.

I went to Luxalune for the first time last night for drinks and some food, with a couple of friends.

The atmosphere was nice - lots of open spaces, dark decor, and comfy couches - relaxed but a little sophisticated. The place was comfortably busy; a nice vibe but not packed. The noise level was a little higher than I'd like (people, not music) but it was still possible to have a conversation.

Came here with my siblings and my cousin and I could tell the potential this place has. Its a very cool setup with big screen tvs, ambiance music playing.

It almost looks like a bunch of living room setups though. There are a few pool tables, in which my sister kicked our a@!%s as.

It wasnt busy that night at all, but the bartenders are cool. I hopefully will come back here again
