Great patio, great beer, great food, great venue to catch up with friends. Service is a bit slow, but the ambiance makes up for it.

Went to this place about 2 months ago I guess? My job took me up to Kingston and there was a huge reception being held for us and the Canadians we were working with for that few days. I didn't make it upstairs at all because the whole night was buying drinks for other people and them in return buying me drinks back. The downstairs was cool, it was a big bar with some TVs and tables for dining (typical bar/restaurant).
Outside was where I thought the best part was. There was a smaller bar outside to get drinks from as well as plenty of picnic tables and chairs to sit in. We even had a boat race with the Canadians that were hosting us, I'm proud to say we won best 2/3 rounds :) I personally did not participate not being that big of a beer fan but I supported my team and even helped one of my best friends to the bathroom to throw up after helping us with that tricky third and final round.
The night got even better though with the outdoor sand volleyball pit! What's not to love about drinking, playing volleyball, and heckling everybody around? After a couple warm up games and trash talking from the sidelines we finally played the game of games. I'm ashamed to admit the Canadians beat us in volleyball but I would like think it was because we had drank too much, definitely not the case but it makes me feel better ;)
What a night! Free drinks, too many drinks bought for others, beer chugging, and volleyball, what more could have been asked for? It was a great night and if I'm ever back in Kingston a place I'll check out again for sure. Even after the night was over at 3 AM. on my way into a taxi I got drug out to go smoke shisha with some friends and an Egyptian girl and some of her friends in an apartment near by. The perfect ending to a perfect night. -

I came here for an early lunch with my boyfriend and a friend. It looks like this place would be awesome in the evening, the lunch was not bad. The Mansion has a bunch of $7 meals which come with a side of fries. An excellent deal, though not sure how great the food is. I ordered a falafel sandwich, and the falafel had a strange meaty yet overly smooth texture. It was tasty, but a little bit strange. I also ordered a side of their curry fries, which were AMAZING. Great with ketchup and mayo, although a tiny bit on the salty side.
Otherwise, friendly service. A little bit slow, but otherwise a good bargain. -

The Mansion has grown on me. As a concept I absolutely love it. Live music every night? Four dollar pints? Getting rid of Philthy McNasty's?- Yes please!
The downstairs is setup as a large bar. They have a bunch of beers on tap (the usual fare, Rickard's, Keith's, etc, etc) and a menu full of bar food. Upstairs is where the magic happens. The "Living Room" is set up with a stage in one corner and comfy couches, tables and some stools for guests to set up around. At some shows where its gotten a bit crowded, people just plop down on the floor or curl up next to a couch to enjoy the show. My kind of place. A wide variety of different acts come through (everything from psychedelic to punk) and some bigger names in the Canadian alternative scene have (and I'm sure will) pass through (Bruce Peninsula, Malajube). But the commitment to music every night means lots of local bands, which is a great addition to Kingston's music scene.
One of the things I appreciate about the Mansion is the mixed crowd it draws. Some students, some folks from Kingston, usually a good crop of musicians that overlap the two demographics. However, everyone is there to enjoy the tunes and have a good time.
