In its heyday Victoria Jane's was a trendy and "it" spot frequented by la crème de la crème of Victoria's business and professional community. Its cozy nooks and crannies have hosted many intimate chats and more raucous gatherings. I knew of the renovations and rebranding as Clive's and was not convinced the new incarnation could replace a beloved institution. I was wrong! Sleek and modern while retaining its cozy feeling, Clive's will soon be on everyone's list. The Scotch list is simply amazing. If you love Scotch - be sure to try the tasting flight. Such good value. Thanks to the die-hards from Word Camp Victoria for a wonderful end to the day.
