Goodbye to Bar 500, Hello to Aegir Room!

From Bar 500 to Aegir Room: Exciting Changes at the Oswego Hotel

At the Oswego Hotel, we’re always striving to offer the best experiences for our guests. As part of this mission, Bar 500 has undergone an exciting transformation to become Aegir Room—a fresh, elevated space that reflects both our commitment to exceptional dining and Victoria’s vibrant culinary scene.

Aegir Room’s new elevated menu will leave you delighted!

What’s New?

The Aegir Room brings a new name, a new menu, and an entirely reimagined atmosphere to the Oswego Hotel. While Bar 500 was beloved for its cozy and inviting vibe, Aegir Room steps up the experience with a contemporary design and a menu featuring locally inspired dishes.

Guests can now enjoy an array of modern West Coast flavours, all crafted with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. From expertly prepared seafood dishes to decadent desserts, Aegir Room showcases the best of what Victoria’s culinary scene has to offer.

Why the Change?

The evolution from Bar 500 to Aegir Room is part of our ongoing effort to innovate and provide unique, memorable experiences for our guests. The name “Aegir” is inspired by Norse mythology, reflecting our coastal location and the beauty of the Pacific Ocean that surrounds us.

The patio provides a stunning outdoor seating area to enjoy local faire.
