8 Best Pubs near Burnaby

“Great live bands!! Very good food with fantastic staff🎉🎉🎉“

“This was a nice place. I realize they're sort of a chain but i find this and the sister location on Main St. to be pretty consistent and at-times fantastic. This has a similar(-ish) menu, some great options. I wish i had ordered a little more food bc the salmon was good, but a little underwhelming portion-wise. I could have almost eaten a second (maybe i was just that hungry). Service was decently-good. Two small notes i wish the diet coke i ordered had more bubbles 🫧 and also (so random, sorry) but the same few sports commercials on a monday afternoon became a bit distracting. I feel like it would be nicer without the sensory overload.“

“This bar is definitely a hidden gem! I’m so glad my family found this local bar. Lots of games and pool tables available! The food is very reasonably priced and pretty tasty too. I had the montreal smoked meat poutine when I went and it was delicious plus a large portion. Service is quick but I find they aren’t always the friendliest. I would definitely come back again to try some more of their food.“

“Hop and Vine Taphouse in Burnaby is a solid spot to hang out with friends, offering a laid-back and welcoming atmosphere. One of the highlights of my visit was their “Dinosour” — easily one of the best sour beers I’ve had, with bold, tangy flavors that really stand out. Their lager and lager lite were decent but fairly average in comparison.

On the food side, there were some hits and misses. The linguine Alfredo was excellent — creamy, rich, and full of flavor, making it a standout dish. The wings, however, were a letdown overall. They were consistently dry and tough, lacking the juiciness you’d expect. The Cajun wings, while better seasoned than the others, still didn’t impress — the flavor was flat and didn’t do enough to make up for the texture. The jerk wings fared worse, with seasoning that was too overpowering and didn’t complement the meat well. Even with the sauce, the wings remained hard and dry, making them difficult to enjoy.

A nice bonus is the free-to-use pool table, which adds a fun and social element to the visit. While the food is inconsistent, the relaxed vibe and unique beer selection — especially the standout Dinosour — make this a decent place to chill with friends.“

“This is my local watering hole I love the pub and it’s food and service but Sunday karaoke is not very good. We showed up at 9:30 and they won’t take anymore requests because they accept peoples requests hours before it starts via text. It’s all the same people singing and won’t allow new people to sing.“

“We arrived right when a large dinner party was leaving, so we had to wait quite a while to get seated, for someone to take our order, and for water to arrive. Otherwise, the food was amazingly cheap for how much you received! We also received extra ice cream at the end for the trouble.“

“BCIT is one of the best universities I have been to! BCITSA provides domestic and international students with early crisis prevention and free-of-cost mental health services. They provided timely support and guidance when I dealt with very challenging times. Besides, students can also access free weekly groceries through their food pantry service. BCIT also helped me get through times when I faced financial struggles, I was immediately provided with 1500$ funds. Thank you to BCIT and BCITSA team! 🥰“

“This is one of my favourite bars to go to. I like this bar because they have a large diverse food menu and everything I’ve tried here has been good. Another thing I like about this place is they have Stella and Heineken on tap which are my two favourite beers. The food here is great and I will continue coming to this great bar.“
