Major Milliken Pub & Eatery

Nice quiet bar to chill with friends. The chicken wings here are awesome! Especially when it’s half price wings night.

As other great Unilocalers have said before, this bar is tucked inside a plaza by kennedy and 14^th. It’s right behind the DQ!
It has a neat historical exterior, but the interior reminded me of an old house in need of renovation. Beer was really cheap on Monday, they have a $ 5.99 domestic deal for 1.5L steins. My friends ordered the fries, but it is mediocre.
Overall, this is the place to go if you are stuck in Unionville and want to get drunk for under $ 10!

Pretty solid food, wings are big and crispy. The sauces are ok, but it comes with a lot of veggies and dip, a plus in my books!
Burgers were huge and not too dry. Huge steak fries too.
Seems like they have a special almost every day. Yesterday was tall boys for $ 4.50, but they only had Coors Lite *gags*. A little pricey.
Service was quick and friendly.
The place is pretty old and gross though. but what can you expect from an old house. All of these pubs are pretty gross.
I’d definitely go back though.

.First of all the food takes a very long time to come. Service is average. Food isnt the greatest. Calamari taste like nothing without sauce. Garlic bread was so harf it cut the top of my mouth. Wings wasnt amazing. Place isnt too clean. Asked for weekly special snd they didnt have … wont come back again …

My go to neighbourhood bar for St. Patrick’s Day 2014. Me and my friends headed out here for a pint of Guinness that somehow turned into 4 pints of Guinness and sharing some bright, multicoloured nachos.
This bar is located a little back from the road on Kennedy just South of 14^th (in the same plaza as the Dairy Queen/​Subway). It’s actually in a historic building which is pretty unique for pubs in the area. So rather than the faux-​aged look at many of the local pubs, Firkins, etc. you have a building that is authentically old complete with creaky stairs, tight spaces, old wood everywhere, and a great atmosphere.
The food and drink is nothing that out of the ordinary for a pub unfortunately. Other than the friendly, quick service I haven’t found much to recommend in terms of this. The multicoloured nachos were pretty plain and standard: lacking in some toppings (cheese) and piled heavily with others (lettuce?).
This place looks promising for those looking for an aged, worn feeling local pub hangout that’s got a ton of character. The food is nothing spectacular, but the drinks are cold, the staff is friendly, and this king of place is pretty unique for the burbs.

Very friendly service, food is pretty good. Service can be a little quicker. I find that I have to wait quite a while before I can get water or order food. Overall a decent pub! Monday nights half price wings!

This place has been here for a while now. I remember coming here a few times with friends a couple years ago and I had a lovely experience. However, I believe they have now changed owners and staff as I did not recognize anyone when I came here yesterday.
To be honest, after 5 minutes of sitting down, I was not ‘wowed’ and not happy with the service at this pub.
What bugged me:
I walked in with my boyfriend who were happily watching the blue jays game against the Yankees (blues were kicking the Yankees ass by the way). Out of nowhere an Asian guy comes and changes the channel because him and his ‘boys’ want to watch the UFC fight.
I myself, has worked in a pub and restaurants before, it would be nice if they asked if it was okay. You see other guests enjoying what is on the television, why not ask or let them know you will be changing the channel and that it might be better to move to another table or seat at the bar.
That’s the second thing I had an issue with. The girl who was the bartender yesterday night said i’ll clean up the table for you if you want to sit there to view the jays game. uhh shouldn’t you be bussing all your tables when they leave so you that you do not leave the pub looking like a mess? Perhaps I wanted to sit at the table that was dirty but didn’t because you didn’t clean up the tables. And the worst part, was she was making it seem like she was doing ME a favour. Honey, you’re not doing me a favour, you’re doing yourself, your boss and the pub.
I’m very disappointed with the service here, seems like the boss just wants to drink and get drunk with his buddies which is cool. But at least make sure service is great and that your new guests are happy.
I don’t think I’ll be coming back here.

Located neat the intersection of 14^th and Kennedy in Markham, this historic home turned pub is almost hidden from view from the main street so patron beware you’ll need to keep your head on a swivel to spot it. Protip: If you see the signs for the Dairy Queen drive-​thru follow that, it will take you to the parking lot for Major Milliken.
Entering into this historic home, there was a certain pub meets dive bar charm that I had been searching for in the GTA and consistently failing to find. The fixtures and furniture are old and worn with character, the lighting is dim, yet warm, and they have a killer patio around back just waiting for warmer weather to open. I think I’ve found my new spot — just wish it was closer to home for a quick stumble/​cab ride.
The bar resides in one room, a dining lounge in another, kitchen in the back and the upstairs has 2 party rooms open for boozy people overflow on busy nights! It brought back fond memories of my fraternity days partying in our Frat-​house.
The food was OK and really the only thing in need of a little more attention. I ordered a basic Canadian Burger with a side Caesar (my servers recommendation). My burger was overcooked, as was the peameal bacon (see the pictures) and my side salad was mostly iceberg lettuce swimming in caesar dressing. Perhaps I ordered the wrong item but my dining companion also noted her burger to be dry.
I’ll certainly return to sample other menu items in future as I’m a firm believer that any kitchen can have an off day. However, as I’ve mentioned, this place is a great spot for drinking and a sweet hang out spot in Markham for those looking for a chill night/​afternoon/​evening with friends.
Major Milliken is a house party just waiting to happen — best part is, no hungover cleaning up in the morning.

Major Milliken Pub & Eatery is so hidden. I would not say it is a hidden gem but finding it can be a little challenge.
Sharing the same driveway and parking lot as Dairy Queen. I almost drove into the drive thru and order a Blizzard to go with a Grill burger.
Major Milliken does have a really homey feel, dark and dim with old sofas, armchairs and everything… and in fact it is inside an historical house.
Beer selections a little disappointing as usual but maybe be one of the more decent one in the area.
For lunch we ordered burgers… some home made burgers with patties grounded in house. My Peppercorn Burger ($ 12.99) was not bad, the patty though a little dry but it was loaded with peppercorn! The fries are like potato wedges but of supermarket frozen quality.
Service was slow and lacking as there was only 1 waiter serving the whole restaurant. Water never get refilled and everything took forever… don’t come here if you are in a rush…
Major Milliken definitely is worth the visit if you are in the area and don’t feel like eat Chinese food… and even a drink? The patio looks promising, can’t wait till summer!

Came here for Sunday St Patrick’s day, the place as I can recall has always been a comfy, homey time of joint. The old sofas, and wooden tables and chairs makes you feel at home. Though the noise level was quite loud, the atmosphere was exciting… everyone wearing green, management giving away various Guinness hats and gifts. The food was great, I out of all days, decided to have a glass of wine, but also ordered the Major Milliken All in one combo… the portion for its price was worth it. Ive been to this place before, it never disappoints.
