Three Lions Social House Nakusp
As an Amazon Associate, RestaurantMenus.ca earns from qualifying purchases.
🦁 Three Lions Social House is the kind of small-town pub that feels unmistakably Nakusp.
Sitting on Broadway Street in the heart of the village, the longtime local gathering place (also known as Chumley’s Restaurant) brings together hearty pub food, Mexican-inspired dishes, cold drinks and the easygoing social atmosphere of the West Kootenays. Fish & chips, brisket beef dip, burgers and seriously well-loved fries are among the dishes customers come back for, but Three Lions is as much about what happens around the tables: hockey on the TVs, darts, trivia nights, live music and a dog-friendly patio that comes alive in summer. Travellers, mountain bikers, families and longtime locals all seem to find their way here, whether they’re fresh from the Mt. Abriel trails, back from Nakusp Hot Springs or simply meeting friends downtown. It’s casual, lively and a little eclectic; less a polished tourist stop than a genuine Nakusp social house where visitors are often made to feel like regulars.
