We went on a Sunday afternoon. It was family friendly. The Shepard’s pie was authentic. The salad was huge. The hamburgers were juicy. The toffee pudding was yummers. The Guinness chocolate cake was very rich. The rice pudding was too runny for my taste, but a great taste though. We will definitely return. Parking is on the street. Great décor and even a history lesson with all the photographs. Use a credit card to save on the USD conversion.

Food is ok but heavy and greasy, it’s a divey pub so I guess it’s to be expected. Service can be great, can be not so great, depends on who and when they are serving. This is one of those roll the dice type places. They advertise a shuttle service but rumor is the shuttle driver drinks all day in the pub so not so safe. There are better options at the same price point in Sarnia, I would even go with the chain restaurant Patty Flaherty’s over this place.

Only had appetizers here, but they were heavenly! We ordered two dishes — the crab stuffed mushroom caps and the armadillo eggs(which are just breaded cheese stuffed jalapeños) and out of the two, I would highly recommend the crab stuffed mushroom caps! They were light and well balanced with the cream cheese, crab, and mushrooms. They also came in a really novel dish. The atmosphere was great for winding down and hanging out with friends. The only downfall would be that because we sat at the front it was a little difficult to get the server’s attention, but she was really friendly.

This place is great if you want to relax with friends, drink and eat at a pile of wings or nachos. The music is good, although it’s wayyy too small for live music(actually hurts my ears when they do). Staff is friendly, and we hosted a party there and the upstairs was lovely, and I’m pretty sure everyone had a good time! I wouldn’t really come here on my own or for anything other than«party food», though.

Your classic English Pub fair, and great beers on tap. Awesome décor, decent food, great place to just hang.

A nice pub with nonstop 80s music. Lots of interesting stuff on the walls. Ups N Downs has lots of beers on tap and even more in the bottle. We ordered sweet potato fries(which came with a yummy, but unidentifiable sauce) and potato skins. Both were tasty. Someone at a nearby table ordered the lamb curry special, and it smelled heavenly. Our group was just in for a pre-dinner drink, so we’ll have to try more food next time. If you want a little fresh air, there is a large open-air spot near the sidewalk. Shut-ins may prefer the dark interiors. My aunt was accosted by a religious fanatic trying to recruit people, but that wasn’t the pub’s fault. Overall, a nice experience. We were there pretty early, and I’m sure things get more lively late at night. Ups N’ Downs is open ’til 2 am, which means you’ve almost always got a place to go in Sarnia.
