31 Best Wine Bars near Burnaby

“Wonderful food and such friendly hospitality - was glad to finally experience what my friends have talked about for years.“

“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.“

“Great friendly quality service.“

“great staff great atmosphere great food great flower arrangements everything was fantastic I always love bringing people to this restaurant they always leave happy 😁😁“

“Was so lovely! This is our go to date spot. Only complaints are we ordered 12 oysters and they gave us 10 and we had to say something. We also ordered a 40 dollar glass of wine and they didn't tell us anything about the wine. For a wine bar you'd think they'd have a back story and something fun to share with their coravin wines. All in all we had a great time and sat at the bar which was interactive and fun.“

“Excellent food and wine in a cozy, friendly establishment“

“Wonderful dining experience. Savio provided our party with excellent friendly service. The atmosphere was very pleasant. The food was hot and delicious. Many thanks to Savio for his kind attention to detail. Savio's service was top notch. He really knows how to make customers feel at home. Will definitely go back for more!“

“Honestly the food was fine and service were great! We got the tasting menu ($75/person) and tried 8 different dishes. We did mention needing an accommodation for no spicy dishes as I don’t eat spicy.

The only reason I docked one star is because of amount of food for value. As a petit lady this was filling enough for me but my partner was definitely not full. We felt that had we known about the selection of dishes within the tasting menu we would’ve preferred to order a la carte, and still come out to a total less than what we paid.

Recommendation for restaurant would be to ask diners in advance if there was any dish they’re dying to try to ensure it’s included in the menu (I.e., we asked about a dish when discussing the menu and was disappointed it wasn’t included for us).“

“Stopped in here to seek refuge from a mid-day sun shower and so happy we did.

Tucked away in a less than inspiring alley, you enter to feel the warmth of a cozy little tasting room. Red brink line the walls and soft dim lights bathe the long spare room. The counter is accented with an array of colorful piggy banks which serve as placeholders for table reservations, very cute.

Our hostess was super friendly, and helpful in serving up two wine flight trios. The Proyecto granacha we had was the standout but we were happy to try all of them.

We lingered here for quite a while before continuing our walk through Gastown. Recommended if you want to break your day of exploring with a leisurely glass of wine.

“Had been hoping to come just for the cool NBA vibes, but we didn’t check the hours closely enough, so we awkwardly walked past while they were closed. One of the managers spotted us and opened up just so we could come in and eat lunch! He was an incredible host, the vibes are impeccable inside and the food is great! 10/10 experience.“

“Rude server - My wife's first experience going out after giving birth. The male server peaked over her shoulder while she paid and made a rude comment when he saw she tipped 'only' 15% on a $20 cocktail. Completely ruined her night. Train your staff better.“

“Excellent food and service. Manager came to check on us and brought out some of the food. Amazing happy hour as well.“

“Trendy interior, huge wine list, nice patio, & highly recommend the whipped feta dip!“

“Really good waffles and really good lattes“

“This is a great place. It’s one of those eateries on the North Shore that is a must visit. Menu is not elaborate but that’s why this place works. They do what they do really well. The cost is also very reasonable. Apparently they have been around for 4 yrs. I spoke to who I believe was the owner and he was super nice as well. Would definitely recommend.“

“I had the butter chicken for lunch and it was delicious! 🌶🐓 cant wait to try their other dishes.“

“I’ve visited this restaurant many times, and it’s always such a pleasant experience. The interior feels upscale yet relaxing, and all the staff are friendly and welcoming.

The “Holly Cow” platter is an amazing selection of meats — without a doubt the best taste you can find in Vancouver.

They also offer individual BBQ sets and counter seating, which makes it easy to come alone, while the private table seating creates a wonderful atmosphere for families or friends to enjoy together.

I’ll definitely be coming back again and again!“

“Staff friendly food delicious“

“amazing little place. Lina our server was absolutely amazing. highly recommend this hidden gem“

“great menu. great pizza. great service. recommend both locations.“

“Was here with a friend tonight for happy hour. Amazing food and ambience. Staff was super chill. Bartender / Server was great. Manager (pretty sure he was the manager) came over and introduced himself to us. I’m definitely coming back. 5 stars, no question 👌🏾“

“Excellent Service and good.“

“Came to celebrate a grad and enjoyed my time here. We were in for lunch on a weekday and it was pretty quiet.

Good service, and servers recommendations was good. Water was refilled often.

Everything was flavored pretty strong, but good. I'd avoid bringing people who prefer milder flavors.“

“Check our daily specials “Delicious”“

“I brought my mom to Published on Main on a mother-daughter night out. The food was amazingly delicious, and service top-notch. We had a memorable night together sharing love and a wonderful culinary experience. Will definitely return for more!“

“We had a great meal for mother's day! The restaurant was packed. The only complaint was we had reservations for the dining room but we're seated in the bar. It wasn't a big deal but my elderly parents found it a little loud. Food was excellent as always. Service was great considering how busy they were“

“Really good food Authentic Vietnamese“

“Came here for the Mangia Wednesday deal which features a few lower priced specials and a special priced wines.

The ambiance is nice as it feels like a family style restaurant with quiet interior and a patio in the back for outdoor dining in the summer.

The pasta is decent, portion could be a bit bigger, but enough to stop your hunger.

Overall, a nice and quiet pasta joint that is family friendly and offers a decent menu.“

“It was amazing! From, Chloe, the Hostess, to the waiter, Mark, who was outstanding, and the food was amazing! I had the Pesto Risotto, for my appetizer, the Beef Tenderloin, on grilled Romaine, with Frites, done perfectly! The view was spectacular! But none of it could have been pulled off without the personality and care of our server, Mark!“

“My boyfriend an I were looking for a place to dine while walking around Gastown when we came across Al Porto. We entered and where greeted by the waiter SIXTO. He made us feel very welcomed and took care of us. We had the lasagna which was excellent and the calamari which we found to be very chewy and tough. Not properly prepared. We ordered Molson Canadian beer and where told that we don’t carry it. SIXTO recommended we try The Kokanee beer which was comparable. We where offered the dessert menu but declined and had another Kokanee. Overall experience was good with exceptional service from our waiter. Will defiantly return to this restaurant next time we are visiting Vancouver.“

“Humbolt squid was deliciously coated and not too oily; I'm not usually a fan of calamari. Chips and guac also exceptional for that kind of thing. My Mediterranean Bowl - excellent. Dining on the seawall - unmatched. Tap and Barrel has come a long way from when I ate there last, perhaps 8 years ago? I took visiting family there and would definitely repeat this experience with friends soon.“
