17 Best Beer Bars near Burnaby

“I've come here three semesters in a row with a big group for a jazz concert after party, and while the service is slow due to understaffing and the fact that it's more primarily a bar than a restaurant, the food is always good and the staff are super accommodating. So if you go with a larger group, be prepared to wait. Some might find that poor service, but those people haven't worked in customer service! I always enjoy the vibes here“

“12/10 experience! Came for the extensive beer list, which didn’t disappoint, then was blown away by the amazing dishes. The whipped feta dish and the scotch egg dish were phenomenal. The highlight though was dessert … the BEST sticky toffee pudding we have ever had! If you are going to a show at the Queen E, make sure you stop by The Magnet before or after!“

“Great place to hangout with love ones“

“Friendly, knowledgeable bar staff who crafted cocktails based on what we like to drink! Speakeasy vibes. Definitely check out this cute, funky bar!“

“First time in Canada. Checked out a couple of bars while in Toronto. CRAFT in Toronto was the one for me. Great vibe. Very mellow. Huge variety of Canadian beers which I found to be more flavorful than American beers. Unbeatable service and hospitality from the manager to the hostess and everyone in between. The two nights I spent there were without a doubt the most pleasant bar experiences I’ve ever had. Thanks a lot for making my stay in Toronto the best it could be.“

“Amazing food, ambiance was incredible. Best burger in Richmond“

“Like the theme but the decor needs some work. Let’s get some actual retro CRT TVs from the 80s or 90s and some vintage audio gear. The cassette tape collages are pretty cool though.

Gotta say, the beer and pizza is excellent.“

“Tuesday Pho specials are a must! Fantastic flavours & easy on the wallet!!“

“We ride our e bikes and are able to park outside safely. La Torta sandwich is my fav! I also love the homemade salsa and guac! Wish you sold your salsa and guac! 💗“

“Absolutely awesome place!! Great food and drinks, and some good toys for little kids to play. Customer service is excellent too: they helped us get a table on a super busy Saturday night and kindly let us wait inside while we were waiting :)“

“This brewery is such a cool and inviting spot—definitely one of the highlights of our visit. As soon as we walked in, we loved the atmosphere. It has a laid-back, welcoming vibe that makes it a great place to relax and enjoy some quality craft beer. Whether you're a casual beer drinker or a true enthusiast, there’s something here for everyone.

We decided to start with a beer flight so we could sample a variety of their brews. Each one had its own unique character and flavor profile, and we were genuinely impressed by the quality and freshness. You can really tell they put a lot of care and passion into their brewing process. Every beer we tried was well-balanced, flavorful, and easy to enjoy.

Honestly, I wish their beer was available at BC Liquor Stores so I could pick some up to enjoy at home. It’s that good. It would be amazing to have more regular access to it without having to visit in person—though we’ll definitely be doing that again anyway!

The overall experience was fantastic. The staff were friendly, the vibe was great, and the space had a fun, community feel to it. We had such a good time that we’re already planning our next visit. There are still a few brews on the menu we didn’t get to try, and we’re looking forward to coming back to explore more. Highly recommend this place to anyone who appreciates great craft beer and a great atmosphere to go with it.“

“I was on one of my spur-of-the-moment long wandering walks on a very warm sunny Friday afternoon for my vitamin D intake. It was just after noon when I was on the False Creek Seawall approaching Science. I needed lunch and a cold drink and I remembered a friend had recommended RTB to me. The GPS on my phone soon promptly took me there.

It was after the lunch rush by the time I got there. It wasn’t very busy and I was able to find a table on the patio after I had placed the order.

I took my Road Trip Classic Lager with me to the table while I waited for my corned beef hash with fried eggs. The lager was crisp, light and refreshing and it went down quickly but I made sure there would be enough left with my lunch.

My over easy eggs on the hash was fried perfectly with brown edges while the yolks were still running to allow the creamy cholesterol goodness seep down to the potatoes and corned beef pieces underneath. The hash was seasoned perfectly with no spices overpowering the potatoes and corned beef pieces.

I had a very nice lunch in a somewhat industrial surroundings. Other than a transport truck backing in to the loading dock next to the patio when I was there, everything else seemed to have come to a standstill affording the patrons a lazy Friday afternoon.“

“Really good food Authentic Vietnamese“

“Our waitress Jaclyn was a real crowd pleaser! She was high energy from the first hello to the final goodbye. She got to know us and when she learned about our love of pickle backs… next thing we know there is a round coming to our table! What a great surprise and a fun way to transition from dinner to the concert we were seeing. The Sports Bar also had staff present to help direct and walk along customers from the sports bar to a near by door for easy access to Rogers arena as a private event was blocking the usual door. This was a nice touch as we feared we would have to wait in the long lines outside in the rain. Once again the team at the Sports Bars went above and beyond. LOVE bringing friends and family here for dinner before Canucks Games and other events at Rogers! Thanks SB Team! See you again soon!“

“We had a memorial birthday celebration on January 28th at the Olympic Village Tap and Barrel, where the entire team were incredibly attentive to our needs. Our server, Sophie, was so helpful and kind and I can say from experience that her high level of service is rare these days. Thanks to everyone for helping us to make it a special evening.“

“Great food and great service.We are visiting from Winnipeg in for Cindy insert.Our server Kirsten was awesome.“

“Absolutely loved Kami Japanese Restaurant at Strawberry Hill!

Kami is hands down one of the best Japanese restaurants in the area. The food is always fresh, beautifully presented, and full of authentic flavor. I tried their sushi rolls and tempura, both were perfectly made and bursting with taste. The portions are a bit less as compared to other Japanese restaurants.

The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. The restaurant has a cozy, inviting atmosphere, perfect for a casual dinner or a special night out.

If you’re in the Strawberry Hill area and craving Japanese cuisine, Kami is a must-visit! 🍣✨“
