Will be accepting online reservations soon!

The only Pub in Annapolis Royal that's been a landmark for years. We've taken pieces of this building’s past to create a new experience so our guests can feel the history and warmth.

Our wood fire rotisserie showcases food at the center of Whiskey Tellers’ open kitchen.

Shadowed by an intimate chef’s table, where you can experience first-hand what’s happening right at the hearth. We’re putting a spin on traditional pub grub from a perfectly roasted chicken, to grilled ribs, or mouth-watering rotisserie pulled pork nachos, and more…

Whimsical five course menu. Excellent flavors, dessert was delicious as seperate components but disjointed as a whole. (It was messy and fell apart) Absolute A for effort overall on the experience as a whole. Staff were attentive and always present, and pleasant.

We had a great time and the food was delicious. However, I was disappointed in the portion size of the Halibut in comparison to the portion size of the steak and chicken that others in my party ordered. With that being said, it's one of our most favorite spots to dine and we'll definitely be back. Thank you all for your hard work, have a great happy new year!!

That was the best Thanksgiving dinner I have ever enjoyed. The brussels sprouts alone would have made it a success - so delicious. It was an upscale holiday meal, beautifully presented. The pumpkin pie was the perfect finisher; I had no room, but I ate it anyway.

Only negative issue was I had made a reservation about 2 weeks in advance for a table of 4 for downstairs but when we arrived there was no table available. In fairness, we were told we could wait for a table to become available or we could go upstairs, which we chose to do. The seating was not overly comfortable as 2 of us had to sit on stools with no backing. The food was good as was the service. We would definitely go again.

We have been here several times since they opened and have always enjoyed it. The food is very good and tasty but a bit pricey. Love the cocktails. The staff are great and a lot of fun. They are very accommodating. My only critique is the table/chair set up is not very comfortable. The tables are either too low or the chairs are too high. Need some work on ergonomics. Great place to go otherwise and worth a visit. Will be back for sure

Service was excellent but can be very noisy downstairs. I highly recommend the pulled pork burger! I would however not recommend the chicken and rib combo because the ribs are cooked with no spices or sauces and are very bland with only the table sauces to give them flavor.

We love Whiskey Teller....the food is plentiful and delicious, with wonderful dishes that are spicy - but not too much - and different - but not too much. The appetizers are already famous, and the rotisserie chicken is worth standing in line for. Add the music tracks and the restoration of the old bank building to the mix, not to mention the cocktails, and you have a perfect pub!
