The Blackfin Pub first opened its doors in 1989 in our scenic oceanfront location overlooking Comox Harbour, the Beaufort Mountain Range and the Comox Glacier. After a fire destroyed the building in 1991 it was reconstructed and finished in finely crafted cherry wood and Honduras mahogany by local craftsman Ernie Winstanley, complete with our famous ship’s nautical wheel. Thus it remained until May 2005, when present owners Edd and Lisa Moyes purchased and refurbished this West Coast Pub, a favourite with the locals.
One of the Blackfin’s most interesting accents is the custom Boston-design Whitehall boat, which hangs effortlessly from the ceiling. Whitehall boats were in great demand as water taxis in the days of sail on the waterfront of busy commercial ports, such as New York City in the early 19th century. Sadly the Whitehall construction is now nearly unknown and lost to this generation of boat builders, but luckily for the Blackfin, Hugh Campbell of Winard Wood Industries in Sidney, BC remains a talented boat builder.
These unique nautical touches, combined with our oceanfront location, stunning views, friendly service and great food make the Blackfin a popular destination for locals and visitors alike. In the summer, enjoy the views from our sunny deck as you relax and soak in the scenery.
