Great place right from the moment I walked in. Great seating and atmosphere, which is something I generally do not care about but it struck me as a very relaxing and enjoyable place to be. The menu is small but that is a reflection on how much focus they put on the food they have there, which is amazing. Granted... More

Thanks for stopping by to enjoy a great meal! William Wallace is known as one of Scotland’s greatest heroes, so what better way to honour a great name than to take one of the Knotted Thistle’s greatest burgers and named it after the great warrior? By the sounds of things, The William Wallace has found yet another admirer. It’s good... More

Dropped in for a quick meal on our way to the airport after reading a review in the local newspaper. They had a good selection of beer on tap, and the service was very quick and friendly and efficient. Four of us had an assortment of menu items - all were very good. Good burgers - juicy and flavorful with... More

Daily specials during the week. They have a limited menu. Guinness burger (chees & bacon) is really good as well as the short ribs. Staff are very friendly. Nice place to go after work or Saturday afternoon. It has been renovated within the last year and 1/2 or so. Feels more like the old Blarney Stone than Johnny Foxes.

We've now been to the Knotted Thistle Pub on a two occasions. They won't be our last. Our first visit was just my husband and myself. We ordered the corned beef and the bangers and mash. My husband's corned beef sandwich was quite tasty, he thoroughly enjoyed it. My bangers and mash was near perfect, though a tad too salty... More

I must say that we have heard a lot of great things about the Knotted Thistle in Regina's Travel Lodge. The pub itself is friendly and inviting and our server Lee was knowledgeable, helpful, prompt and pleasant. The beer on tap is rather limited but acceptable. Unfortunately the kitchen is a let down. We ordered the Irish Nachos which are... More

I was surprised and disappointed by the menu. the special was chicken pene alfredo, just an average family restaurant special. I settled for a burger which had some soggy pickled onion in it which ruined the burger. I got the impression there is an weak kitchen staff with no ideas or experience to make it a place to go eat.... More

We recently went to this pub for a mid Saturday afternoon beer and snack. They have a very good beer selection which is reasonably priced. I tried the cider and it was excellent. Not too sweet but very refreshing. We tried the Irish Nachos. Warning...these are huge! They are lattice cut potatoes covered with cheese, green onion, peppers and jalapinos.... More

This is a fairly new option in Regina and probably still a little unknown. It is situated in the Travellodge on the south end of Regina, tucked in the back corner with plenty of parking. Really nice atmosphere - comfortable and welcoming. Celtic flavoured music is not overpowering and although the TV's are all tuned to sports, they are not... More
