Another Nanaimo hell hole/booze can. It's been a hell hole for years. Go figure why the city of Nanaimo hands out business licenses to hell holes like this. This place needs a backhoe to level it. Terrible place !! Don't be fooled by the nice pictures people put up of this place. It's a certifiable dump and a hell hole.
Awesome old bar. Still has the smell of era's gone by. Yes it's run down, but that's the charm. Inexpensive drinks. Patrons were freindly to me. Just sit back and take in the atmosphere. Still has an old tin ceiling. Great patio put back, you bring your own steak and you BBQ it yourself. I gotta come down and see some music.
Relaxed and not pretentious
On april 29th at 1:00 am at The Palace (275 Skinner st) denied my friend brodie hackwood entry due to some one named Zac Hackwood (no relation whatsoever) having a ban, Bernie (the manager) said that he didnt care, and that he made up his mind as my friend Steven Elliot and I tried to explain to him that he was thinking of some one else, after already being aloud entry and purchasing liquor, since our friend (that supposedly had a lifetime ban that he received a month ago) moved to nanaimo two weeks prior to the incident from Victoria and that his only brother was 16 and lives in kelowna. As we were trying to explain this to him, the bouncers (GAGE) and one other physically shoved myself away and grabbed my friend Steven Elliot by the throat as they shoved him away while yelling we're done into our faces, they had to have shoved us as hard as they could too because my friend is around 320 lbs, I myself am 280 lbs and they almost knocked me over the chain railing outside. So after myself and my friend were physically assaulted by these bouncers and the unprofessional manager known as Bernie Gobeil, we were told by local Law Enforcement that we were unable to do anything about it because they have the right to refuse service to anyone they want, and because my friend was not discriminated against for "race" or "religious" reasons, but instead for his last name. Even after the insident the manager (Bernie Gobeil) and the bouncers he hired were laughing and talking about how they could take us, almost as though they were looking for a fight knowing the law would be in their favour. All of this after years of us being respectful and loyal customers.
We recently did a Beer and Burger Fundraiser at the Palace and it was great!!! The Staff went far beyond and above anything we where expecting. They helped raised a lot of the funds. It was a fun night and I highly recommend the Palace. I would hands down do another event here.
