8 Best Pubs near Burnaby

“This is my go to pub/place to have an event with friends. I have been going here for years and I absolutely love it. The last few times I have gone however, it feels off or weird. The older bald bouncer guy is kinda rude and kept my friends waiting at the entrance for over 30 minutes, until I arrive and pointed out clearly free tables. It was almost like a weird power trip over these girls who were there to celebrate a birthday. I also had a previous experience with an incredibly rude manager. Other than that the rest of the staff is absolutely amazing and always contributes to us having an amazing time. Some staff need to chill out a bit though, because they change the energy of an otherwise amazing place. The food is great for pub food and the drinks are great. Whenever I get the bill I'm always shocked how affordable it is compared to other bars (which I love). Overall good place with mostly amazing staff.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Brown Social House and left thoroughly impressed by both the cuisine and the service. I ordered the Butcher’s Block Burger, which featured a perfectly cooked, flavorful beef patty topped with crispy, smoky bacon and crisp, fresh lettuce. The attention to detail in the preparation was evident, as each component complemented the others beautifully, making for an incredibly satisfying and well-balanced burger.

What truly set the experience apart, however, was the outstanding service. Erin, our waitress, was attentive and genuinely friendly, making sure our needs were met with efficiency and a warm demeanor. Her professionalism and positive attitude contributed to an inviting and enjoyable atmosphere. It’s clear that Brown Social House prioritizes both the quality of their food and the experience of their guests.

For anyone seeking a combination of excellent service and a delicious, thoughtfully crafted meal, I highly recommend Brown Social House. It’s a standout choice for anyone looking to enjoy a top-notch dining experience.“

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

“Okay, I am a regular customer for years which is why I have 5 stars. And I love the Great Bear, it’s my favourite spot (kind of like the show Cheers) but I must let the owner know that the change in food has been terrible. I went the other day and was so disappointed that they changed the fries and crispy chicken burger. I brought a friend who had never been there before and I was raving about the food, and to my disappointment they changed the fries to the same you get at Costco. I understand maybe you’re trying to cut costs or make things easier for the kitchen staff but please please bring the old fries back!!!!“

“My husband and I discovered Hop & Vine after enjoying the Burnaby Golf Club. We were treated exquisitely by our server and loved our lunch and drinks (beer for him and wine for me).
This will be our regular after-golf treat! Also, the patio faces a quite little green space that feels like a backyard in the country.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! 🥰“
