The Landing Pub was a Quadra Island institution for many years. Located by the Quathiaski Cove
ferry terminal, the pub was a favorite of people waiting for the ferry. It was a convenient place
to grab a beer and some bar food before departure. But business was not brisk enough and the
owners had the place on the market for several years. It doesn’t appear that a buyer stepped
forward and the pub has now shut down and has rather quickly fallen into disrepair.

I always enjoyed passing by the road-side sign with the pub’s motto: “No bad days!”

Ach, such a shame...we're seeing the same here in the UK, old pubs that had been going for years and years closing down never to reopen :o(

Looks to have been a quaint spot; shame thing have turned this way.

What a sad motto :( Surprising it couldn't make a go of it. V

Even under the best of conditions, it is extremely difficult to make a go of any local business these days. It is becoming hard to be optimistic about the future. V

Interesting architecture for a pub. If the island was inhabited by Germans it would still be in business.

it resembles a budget country church...a few pubs, and many businesses, have closed here too...the shock waves from the pandemic are still reverberating through the economy..

That is a sad sight. I hope it can open again. V

What a pity that such a well-liked place came to this end. Nicely captured in that light. V.

I still have fond memories of eating a meal and having a drink before taking the ferry. It's too bad. V
