Came here after a friend suggested it and I was certainly not disappointed! The interior was quite nice. My friend and I were seated right away(after I was ID’d because I look like I’m 16). I forget what our waitress’s name was but she very promptly got us drinks. I ordered their house chardonnay for $ 8. It was so good I got it two more times after this: D My friend and I decided to get bruschetta to start. It was super tasty and was quite fresh. This variation had mozzarella cheese overtop. There was a healthy amount for the serving. Before we could finish the appetizer our entrées arrived. Service was on point. Our waitress checked up on us frequently but not to the point where we were annoyed by it. I got the stir-fried tomato scallop and shrimp dish. It was so good! My friend got a burger and by the looks of it he very much enjoyed it! It was also Thursday which means it’s karaōke night! They had a thick book of songs to choose from and even newer songs by all of the current artists. I didn’t participate as I have stage fright. But it was so much fun to watch everyone and was good vibes all around. I will definitely come back here.

Nice neighbourhood pub, decent service and quiet street location. Only gripe might be not taking debit, it’s 2015 and still not taking debit??? I’ll still go but only if I hit the ATM prior. Maybe on their sign at the door they should mention having an ATM inside?

Went here for the first time last night and thought it was great. The atmosphere was friendly, staff was friendly and they had a karaōke dj that was really awesome. The food was exceptional even at late hours. Very impressed.

Half the servers partake in the ritual of Le ‘Nose Candy’, the bouncers look like they want to skin you alive, and on a Saturday night, you will 100% hear someone sing a song with a racial slur in the chorus for their Karaōke night. Just wholly full of Brampton charm… I can’t totally shit on Magnums though, the karaōke host did a great job and my dry gin martini tasted fab and came with 3 jumbo olives stuffed with garlic(tastes better than it sounds I promise). And I left my server a big tip cause lord knows that girl needs to money to get through her shift with powdered help.

Finally checked this place out, which is practically in my neighbourhood. The place was nearly full on a Thursday, so needless to say that they’re doing well and probably one of the busiest places in town. Funny enough, it’s in a very rundown plaza in a low-traffic area; yet it’s very nicely — and recently — decorated. It’s quite a large menu, and you’ll even find some ‘classier’ things you may not expect, such as escargot. That said, we went for very typical after-softball bar food of: wings, poutine and beer. Numerous beer options and about a dozen on tap. They offer an ‘XL’ platter which is two pounds for $ 20 — only $ 8 more than a single pound. The pound is probably one in the classic sense, with about a dozen large size wings(the XL had about 25). A lot of other places are starting to get technical and only offer about 8 or so for a pound, so that’s a big plus here. You have about 20 flavours to choose from. The wings were cooked right, with a nice crisp on the outside. I feel they could’ve used a little more pre-seasoning to move them from ‘good’ to ‘great’. Poutine was very good. Fresh cut fries and cooked properly. Classic dark gravy with real cheese curd. Very good impression so far, and though I’m sure I’ll be back for the classic bar food options, I’ll also want to sample some of their other offerings too.

This is a place where the toilets are always clean and the tables always have service. That is all you need in a bar. 4 stars for not enough wait staff of a weekend.

The chef at magnums does a fantastic job livening up the menu with the daily specials which usually consists of 3 meal varieties and two daily soups. The soups are all homemade daily –nothing frozen! It really reminds me of the soup nazi on the TV sitcom called Seinfeld. My favourite soups are: chicken wing soup, shrimp bisque and beef barely. The jd steak special is always a win complimented by a pint of Richards red. Greek and caesar salads are tasty with their authentic dressing. If you love perogies smothered in cheese and bacon as much as I do you will love this place. Also my new favorite is their chicken fingers which are also homemade. Oh man the the escargot served with toasty garlic bread is delicious. .so so many favorites at this local watering hole. Another wonderful surprise is the succulent prime rib special on the last Friday at the end of the month, it comes with all the traditional fixings including Yorkshire pudding.

Wen to Magnums for the first time after being referred by a friend and was pleasantly surprised! I understand they did some major reno’s which was great and felt that the place had a very nice atmosphere. People were very friendly and we were well looked after. Food: ordered the escargot for a starter and found it somewhat bland lacking the garlicky buttery taste I’m used to. Hamburger: was fabulous! Real patty not the frozen kind and was able to order a loaded baked potato for my side. Very happy with this choice. Potato skins: done perfectly. We asked for no green onions and to b well done which they were. Great selection of beers on tap. We went on a Wed nite which unknowing to us was an open mike nite so we were entertained by some very talented performers. We will definately b back!

I went to Magnums for the first time recently with a couple of friends. We were going specifically to take part in the karaōke, so I was happy to see that most of the crowd was into it. There seemed to be a lot of regulars. My friends and I had a few drinks, and then decided that we wanted something to munch on. We waited for our waitress to come by… and waited… and waited… and finally flagged down another one. We ordered one plate of mozzarella sticks; for $ 8.99, it was pretty disappointing. They tasted ok, but there were so few of them. The karaōke was fun and the crowd was good, but considering the unforgiveably slow service and overpriced food, I wouldn’t go there unless I wanted to sing.

Wrote a negative review of this place a number of years ago but since moving into the neighbourhood I’ve finally changed my tune. They still have the hideous karaōke a few nights per week and that’s really my only major gripe with the place now, and thus the reason I took a star. But the waitresses now all know us, treat us well, and the cleanliness is above the other local watering holes. Cheers!
