We live in the local area and have frequented this pub in the past. Its atmosphere twins that similar to the many Joseph Richards Group pubs spread all over the lower mainland. The patio setup is about the best around on a nice sunny day. The outdoor furniture and surroundings are quite comfortable. Now for the questionables... the service needs a severe headshake. We went there the a couple of weeks ago and found it easier and quicker to purchase from the bar ourselves than wait and rely on the servers. It wasn't busy and the staff were plentiful, but for some reason everyone seemed uninterested to serve the customers waiting.On another note, the Clayton House has clearly decided to place themselves in the ranks of Downtown Elite Bars charging premium prices for downsized drinks. By that I mean you can't order a pint of regular domestic beer, the largest is a sleeve. The price however tops any other establishment in the area pouring real pints. If you enjoy an awesome patio experience, and you don't mind paying premium prices for substandard service, this is the place for you.
