The Dickens Now, let's gab about the grub. Our menu offers a tempting blend of classic British pub favourites and modern delights. Need to wet your whistle? No Problem!

Located in Village Square The Dickens Pub is one of Downtown Burlington's most famous establishments serving up incredible Pub Fare, Live Entertainment, a heated patio and more! Step into The Dickens, Burlington’s favourite British pub nestled in the heart of Village Square, where the charm of yesteryear meets the mischievous spirit of today. Housed in a gloriously restored 1800s heritage building, our iconic pub defies the ordinary, radiating a playful charm that would make Charles Dickens himself raise an eyebrow. We're not ones for bragging, but we're certain you'll find something to please your taste buds for lunch, dinner, or weekend brunch. We've got 16 beers on tap to quench your thirst, plus a selection of good, honest cocktails to keep your spirits high and your inhibitions low. As Burlington's most infamous spot for music and nightlife, The Dickens is open till 2am daily and has a well-earned reputation for raising the roof. We've got the city's biggest karaoke party on Thursdays – you know, for when you're feeling like a rockstar – and live music every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday to keep your toes tapping and your soul grooving. So come on down to The Dickens. Raise a pint, share a laugh, swap a tale, and make some memories in the most delightfully unexpected British pub this side of the pond.

Our Original Recipe Butter Chicken at The Dickens might not be what you expect to see sitting next to a pint in a pub — and that’s exactly why we want you to know about it.

It starts with an original North Indian recipe and is served tableside with hot smoking coal to bring out that authentic tandoor flavour. Basmati rice, garlic toasted naan, and pickled red onion complete the plate.
Already have your usual at The Dickens? Maybe it’s time to try something you haven’t ordered yet.
