Welcome to the Sawmill Taphouse and Grill, the home of good food for good people. Since 2017, Sawmill Taphouse has sought to bring the best Pacific Northwest craft beers, and forno oven pizzas. We pride ourselves on our authentic tapas and appetizers in an incredible atmosphere fit for the whole family.

Through our different beer taps, taster flights, and on site take out and delivery you can always find a way to enjoy Sawmill. Now with two locations (Victoria + Chemainus), the Sawmill offers a unique selection fresh forno oven pizzas, and slow-cooked smoked meat. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options are all available. Come on in for a birthday, corporate function, or just kick back with friends after a long day. If you’d rather enjoy our cooking from the comfort of your own home, check us out on OpenTable. Open a table yourself, as you can find all our of menus available hot and ready to go out the door.

Our restaurant is open every day, serving our forno oven pizzas and flame grilled briskets. Our restaurant’s menu is perfectly curated by our executive chef to bring you the perfect brewery experience while stimulating your palette.

As Traveler’s Island said, “There’s really nothing quite like The Sawmill Taphouse and Grill in Chemainus, or the Cowichan Valley for that matter. Unassuming from the outside, The Sawmill starts with an urban vibe and marries that with Chemainus town history to bring a lively, warm and vibrant dining experience with quality made-from-scratch food.”

We’re extremely proud to join her team for the month of July. For each of her Thai de Rock pizzas sold at our Colwood and Chemainus locations, we’ll add $5 to her totals.
