Review from Natalie T.

3.5 stars
Firstly, why would you name your bar a name that reminds you of work, of all things? But you know what? It kind of works I guess. At least there's no kitchy office decor as I imagined.
VIBE
Great location. I was here for a party for Social Media Week so I can't accurately comment on the people imbibing here.
3 floors. Great for a party. If there's more than 100 people, it's nice to have the two floors but the stair well is a bit hidden.
Staff work hard.
You have to walk through the kitchen to get to the bathroom. The food looked OK. I'd rather go to Jack Astors after.
I DRANK
The usual. Heinken and GT. I don't get anything fancy at pubs. They make a good GT. I think I needed three more.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
No Dwights here. But if you're looking for an after work spot that's not pretentious, this is a good bet.Listed in: Libations, Entertainment District

Last weekend, my friends and I were looking for a place where we can dance and sing!! Thank Yelp we found THE OFFICE PUB!! But mind you, like all parties, it's not the venue per se but the crowd that makes it fun! You can be sure we brought the FUN to this place, alright!!!
Music
- a good mix of new and old (but mostly classic hits of course!!)
- DJ was good at findind the songs that we requested but we didnt get to go thru them all since the place shuts down at 2AM (so early) =P
Booze:
- Not bad, but I ordered ceasars all night so... wouldnt know about the rest =P
Service:
- Charlotte our waitress was nice and man SHE CAN SING!!
Location:
- right smack in the entertainment district. AWESOME!!
Layout:
- it's unfortunate that the layout of this venue kinda sucks!! there is a brick wall right in the middle of the bar. we couldnt see the stage or the people that were singing. eventually when there was less people, we moved over to the other side of the wall and partied the rest of the night!!!
Good place to be for a chill yet fun filled night laughing, singing and dancing along!!! -

Good service, but not so great food.
This was a decent place to hang out with the Hubster. We were both a little hungry, so he got the burger, which was fine, and I got the mussels, which were incredibly salty.
Everything else about this place was unremarkable.Listed in: Yelp 30-Day Challenge

I have had a couple of parties here. The space is beautiful. The staff were helpful. But the management is disorganized and both times there were major confusions about location in the pub and start times. They may throw your party in the middle of karaoke or speed dating and not tell you. And the first time no one even told me there was a third floor available. I'd use it again but only after calling several times to speak to each staff member, as they don't seem to be talking to each other. Even after speaking to the manager the day before the party twice, they still didn't know when we were coming, so I felt bad for our bartender as he was suddenly blasted by surprise guests. Then during the event there were people walking into my party as no one seemed to know where each party was supposed to be, there were only 2 parties happening. I was told there would be signs for each party. It was very frustrating. I'd use this pub again as it is gorgeous, but i'm quite confused as to how something so simple turned into quite a stressful experience.

This afternoon, my husband we checked out The Office Pub.
It opened two weeks ago on John Street, just south of Richmond E.
We sat on the patio, which was a great place for people watching.
Amy was our server. She was very friendly and took really good care of us.
Before we left, we checked out the rest of the bar and it's huge! The main floor is kind of trendy, the second floor is more like a pub and the third floor will be rented out for events. There are two patios in the back (on the ground level and second level). If you are hungry, they serve food. -

I came here for a work party, ironically enough. It's a good space--nice upstairs deck, cozy bar space, and a quiet downstairs to get away from the crowd should you need it.

This review deals specifically with having lunch here. I have no idea what this place is like for after-work drinks or on a weekend but I can say that I was pleasantly surprised with lunch.
We ate on the second floor and tables were spaced out nicely. Music was kept at a reasonable volume. Service was super friendly and attentive.
Food is very reasonably priced and delicious. Wraps are substantial and the fries are nicely spiced. I should have had a salad as the wrap and fries was very filling.
This is a great place for lunch and I wouldn't hesitate coming back or recommending to a friend. -

Pretty good food
Horrible service
Weird identity. What is this place? A golf club? A karaoke bar? A place to do work?
Pretty good food.
Horrible service. -

Service was slow. Ordered an appetizer, found out it wasn't available 15 minutes later. Burger was way over done and had no fixings. Just cheese, jalapenos, and very little aioli sauce. Salad was fine. Took me about 40 minutes to get my meal at 12:40pm, not exactly what I expected out of an office "themed" pub.
Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone. -

I'd say 3.5, stars actually. Walked in here when my sister and I saw a karaoke sign. However at about 9pm it was completely dead. Nonetheless, I liked the decor of the downstairs (despite the fact that it was almost unbearably hot) so we decided to stay for a while. About an hour after we got there, upstairs was packed so we just decided to stay downstairs. We had awesome service (we had a blonde bartender whose name I forgot but she was super awesome!). I agree with some other comments that this place can't quite figure out what way it wants to go and it may get more stars if it has a firm direction. We didn't get food so can't comment on that, but decent Shiraz and cool drinks. I'd go back.
