Welcome to The Boot Tavern, East Selkirk's beloved community steakhouse and pub at 692 Colville Rd, Manitoba. Housed in the historic Star Hotel building — originally built in 1928 — our nearly century-old tavern has grown into the social heart of East Selkirk. Locally known as the Bronze Boot Steak House Tavern, we are proud to be one of the longest-operating hospitality landmarks in the Rural Municipality of St. Clements.
Our scratch kitchen, led by Chef Derek, serves up hearty home-cooked Canadian comfort food: Friday and Saturday Prime Rib specials, fall-off-the-bone back ribs, house-made smash burgers, golden Manitoba pickerel, hand-tossed wings, rich poutine and our beloved homemade borscht. From classic pub favourites to grilled steaks, smoked meats and pizza, our menu has truly something for every neighbour in Selkirk, Lockport, Clandeboye and the wider Interlake region.
Owned and operated by Bob — alongside his son and a dedicated team — The Boot Tavern is celebrated for personal, friendly service that makes every guest feel right at home. With multiple dining rooms, a licensed bar, VLTs, a beer vendor on site and live music on select weekend nights, we deliver honest food, fair prices and genuine East Selkirk hospitality — whether you join us for dine-in, takeout, curbside pickup, delivery or catering.

" Amazing pub. On recommendation by our front desk clerk we ventured across town to have supper here and was not disappointed. The food was hot, fresh and homemade. The price was average to below average with above average food and service. If ever in town again would definitely eat here. "

" Awesome prime rib. In my humble opinion the best place in Winnipeg to go for prime rib on a Friday or Saturday. The service is always excellent and the food is bar none. We definitely recommend you stop here and try the food. The staff is always friendly and greet you with a smile and the service is prompt. "

" A Pleasant Drive and a Great Meal. Looking at trying some place different, what a great choice. Wife had the half rack with baked potato, I had the Borscht, Boot potato and pickerel fillets. All were excellent. Service was great and friendly. Will be back, and soon. "
