Imagine it’s 1894,

and you are nearing the end of a long day’s journey on the road to LeechTown to check your gold claim. As you round the bend, dusk is settling in. Tired and dusty, your horse the same, the lanterns of the 17 Mile House welcomes you.

Fast forward over 130 years

and a traveller on the same road, now Sooke Road, can also look forward to the hospitality around the bend. Changes have been made, but The 17 Mile House, seventeen miles from Victoria City Hall, has retained its yesteryear charm. There is even a hitching post and a visitor arriving by horseback.

Creative Westcoast fare, local seafood and our weekly fresh sheet specials are served for lunch and dinner, and can be enjoyed in the bay window overlooking the pub garden, or in front of a crackling fire. Our soups and famous seafood chowder are made daily and all entrees are made to order.

Guests can enjoy a game of chess, crib or darts!

Even if the road to Sooke no longer leads to a wealth of gold, it still takes you to the 17 Mile House, a cosy olde English pub where old friends have gathered and new friends have met for over 130 years.

Kids at the pub

Children under the age of 19 are welcome in the 17 Mile House Pub until 8pm. All minors must be accompanied by an adult. While children and youth are not allowed to sit at the bar, they tend to have a great time exploring our outdoor facilities.

Four-legged Companions

No mention of the 17 Mile House is complete without highlighting our wonderful dog-friendly atmosphere in our backyard patio oasis. Just like our human patrons, furry friends are warmly welcomed to join in the fun, making every visit a tail-waggin good time. Whether it’s lounging in the sunshine or mingling with other pups, our outdoor space is the perfect spot for dogs and their owners to enjoy together. So leash up your canine companion and come experience the warm hospitality of the 17 Mile House Pub, where everyone – two-legged and four-legged – is part of the family.
