Welcome

Victoria’s newest landmark pub, the Bard & Banker is located on the corner of Fort St and Government St downtown Victoria, BC. With 30 different beers on tap, one of the most impressive selections of spirits under one roof and live music Wednesday thru Saturday nights, the Bard & Banker defines the ultimate pub experience.

Offering 12000 sq.ft. of entertainment space and seating capacity of 320 people; two patios, one at street level and lounge style patio looking out over the ocean on the second floor, the Bard & Banker features a décor reminiscent of Old World British opulence.

Opened in 1862 as the Bank of British Columbia, the building remained a bank until 1988 under an array of different banking establishments’ control. Of all the bank employees to work at this location in the 126 years it was a bank, the most notable was the bard of the Yukon, Robert Service.
