Feeling like a snack and libation in the afternoon when shopping or visiting in Nanaimo? Consider our discovery yesterday. CARLOS O’BRYAN’S pub on on the waterfront has Happy Hour every day from 2-5. Appetizers are half price and drinks are cheap. My Toronto based son chose Jerk Wings while I decided on fish Tacos. Then we shared an order of Dry Garlic Ribs. All three were generous and delicious. $7 each. Highballs for $3.50, 16oz Draft for $4.50, wine at $6. Good value.

As previously reported, this is a very nice pub looking over a marina. A short 600 metre stroll from the Departure Bay ferry. Lots of free parking too.

Just saying…
