Cowichan Bay's Pub On The Water
A neighbourhood pub and restaurant, right on the docks of Cowichan Bay, BC.
A Pub, Not A Restaurant
Our location has been a pub for over 40 years under several names (the Black Douglas & the Windjammer are just a couple) In 2002 we became the Cow Bay Marine Pub.
Our enormous windows allow for incredible views of the bay. Come enjoy the sunset or watch the boats at the Fisherman’s Wharf. Mount Tzouhalem looms in the background. Relax by our indoor fireplace with your favorite beverage. The best sunsets in Cowichan Bay can be enjoyed right from our outdoor deck.
Whether meeting a friend for a quiet lunch, bringing someone special for a memorable dinner, enjoying appetizers and music at the end of a long work week, it’s here.
The Bay Pub, as the locals refer to it, is the place to come.

Made Here. From Scratch.
Our patties are ground in-house. Our sauces, dressings and soups are made from scratch. We buy local when we can and cook honest food that pairs well with a pint and good conversation.
Nothing fussy — just the kind of food you want after a walk on the dock, or a long week, or a Sunday morning that started slow.
