About the restaurant

The year is 2015. The gainfully bearded citizens of Hamilton take to the streets, proudly showcasing their admiration for this great city through their wardrobe of tastefully designed crew neck t-shirts. They longed for a place they could gather with friends and enjoy the excellence that is a well-crafted, locally sourced burger. Through careful deliberation, HAMBRGR was born with a commitment to its city and a promise for all – to make the best damn burger you’ve ever eaten.

Went for the lobsterfest for a date night. My wife had the edamame and the lobster linguine; I had the pear prosciutto flatbread and the lobster roll. All the food was delicious and the portions were generous. My only regret was forgetting the box with the rest of the flatbread on the table!

About the restaurant

The Cobblestone Public House opened its doors to the public on April 6th 2008 and has strived from day one to provide an unforgettable pub experience every time you walk through the doors. We take great pride in the food and service we provide, and sincerely hope it shows. We deal with fresh food and quality ingredients and have an unmatched passion for food, fun, and of course one of our 16 draught beers from around the world!

The pub has become exactly what we had envisioned; a comfortable, fun place to be, whether it be for beer and wings, steak and wine, a beer while watching the game, or a late-night snack, it’s covered with the same quality of food and service at one o’clock in the morning as there is at one o’clock in the afternoon.

Great food, and generous proportions. Patio down by the river on a comfortable weather day is lovely and relaxing. All our needs were met quickly too.

Our waiter, Mauricio, was probably the best server I’ve ever had. He was attentive, kind and made very appropriate recommendations. My friend has dietary restrictions and he was very clear on what she should avoid on the menu. He also recommended certain things to her. I can’t say enough about him because he was on top of everything the entire evening. I’ve been to Alder before, but this time the service was outstanding. I haven’t even touched up upon the food, but it was phenomenal as usual
