Our warm Irish hospitality welcomes you to a place where you can enjoy the best of both food and drink in an atmosphere that encourages sharing good times with family and friends.
It All Started... in Sudbury, Ontario, in 1980 when we opened our first Casey's restaurant. Since then, we have grown to over 150 restaurants that operate under five brand names across Canada franchised by Prime Restaurants of Canada Inc. including Casey's (Est. 1980), Pat & Mario's (Est. 1982), East Side Mario's (Est. 1987), Prime Pubs (Est. 1996), the Bier Markt (Est. 1998), and Prime Pubs of America (Est. 2007).
Prime's brands employ more than 8,000 Canadians in full and part time positions and a Prime Restaurant is an integral part of the communities in which they operate, from fund raising and the sponsorship of community events, to Prime’s long-standing corporate support of Camp Oochigeas, which provides kids living with cancer the opportunity to enjoy a unique summer camp experience.
Prime Pubs is ideally positioned to capitalize on a significant gap in the existing casual dining landscape.
Prime Pubs is a differentiated casual dining experience, characterized by its balanced offering of the traditional and the contemporary, featuring a draught selection to rival any Pub complemented by a broad range of fine whiskeys, scotches, wines and refreshing cocktails.
