38 Best Craft Breweries near Richmond

“great place I will go again next time I'm in Richmond“

“Great experience here. I ordered the poached peach granola bowl - the portion was huge, delicious, and very reasonably priced. Iced latte tasted burnt though. But most importantly, they are pet-friendly. My friend, her puppy, and I sat on the patio on a rainy October day. Their patio is covered and heated, which is great even in lousy weather.“

“Good tasting beer, but even for local brewery the price is too high in my opinion just to add heavy fruit. Overall the beer was good, foods were just mediocre at best, and didn't expect actually potato chips, when they wrote chips that come with hotdogs (was thinking fries like fish and chips :p) It was just okay experience but the atmosphere was really pretty so gonna bump up the rating a bit“

“Perfect spot for thirsty travellers. We didn’t try any food but they had some reasonably priced bar snacks. Service was excellent and friendly. The brew is made from honey which makes it gluten friendly. We really enjoyed the tasting flight and the atmosphere.“

“A "must visit" for anyone interested in craft beer brewing, Terminal City sits in the niche between serving the home brew market and being a specialist microbrewery. A wonderful selection of ingredients is complemented by a wide range of beers and wines. The staff are very helpful and friendly, giving advice on how they could tailor production to specific requirements.“

“I’m an Asian-American from the States living in the Surrey area. I enjoy exploring breweries, so I did a quick Google search and chose this spot based on photos and reviews. I’m glad I trusted my instincts. The atmosphere here is incredibly comfortable. Although I usually enjoy Samuel Adams, which is hard to find in BC, I found their Honeycomb Amber to be a great alternative. The servers and staff were genuinely friendly and made the experience even better.“

“Awesome! Great view, will be perfect for summer.“

“Recommend the Oak Stout, Truly spirited“

“This place is my Sunday tradition. Caitlin is usually steering the vibe, and it’s really a great cacophony of community locals and personalities.

The mainstays are all delicious, and the experimental menu is some outrageous flavour country where you never know what you’re going to get — hits and flops, but you’re glad you came to try something truly original.

Wear boots.“

“We were here within an hour of landing (from Australia.) Staff were friendly and courteous. I enjoyed a 'Greg' West Coast IPA, of course. A little disappointed with the T-shirts; I am looking for tasteful examples that mention the brewery name.“

“always a great place to sit and have a beer with friends. Doggie friendly too.“

“Our favourite brewery on the North Shore!“

“Great atmosphere and staff. And delicious beer 🍺“

“Lovely brewery with unique beers and excellent service. We got in 15 minutes before last call super hungry and they served us some really good food. Those bar nuts were such a good snack. The bartender was super friendly. Loved their Mexican inspired beer styles. Would recommend.“

“I travelled 2500 miles to come to Vancouver for the Taylor Swift show and this bar welcomed me with open arms. I was able to park my car there for the duration of the show. The two employees behind the bar were fantastic. They were kind, welcoming, funny and even Swifties! I gave them both a friendship bracelet and they gave me walking directions to BC Place. It was about a 20-25 minute walk and I felt safe the entire time.
While there I had a drink and a burger and both were great!“

“**Edit: To the owner, thank you for addressing my comment. I really like Container Brewing. **

I love this place. They have been excellent hosting events for fundraisers, parties and more. But the other night put the sourest of tastes in our mouths.

There were multiple tables still sitting in the bar, and one server was insistent that our group, having just come from the sauna experience (also incredible), "skidaddle". She was drunk herself, and one of the rudest people I have ever met in the industry.“

“Love this new brew! Nice and smooth like a summer evening. Will be definitely enjoying more of these as we roll into spring and summer!“

“I just want to say that I really appreciate that they have all their off sale tall cans as singles. I have been visiting breweries around Vancouver for a project and, as so far, they have the biggest selection.
At one point or another, everyone buys a 4 pack or 6 pack of beer that just isn't their taste. It is great that I can try something new and, if it isn't my taste, it is just one can.
It is also great if you know everyone's favorite so that everyone gets what they really want.“

“Intimate and fun! Great atmosphere with really good beer!“

“We visited Bridge Brewing on Saturday October 19. Had some German guests, and they wanted to try some breweries (and flights). Bridge was first of three. Our German friends got flights, I had a Get to the Choppa, and my wife tried a cider.

All was great, everybody found something they liked. Unfort, my wife dropped her wallet onto the floor without her noticing. Four hours later, on our way home, we discovered the missing wallet. As it had no air-tag, we had no idea where it might be.

So the next morning, I planned to head back to the same three breweries in the same order as the previous night to ask if the wallet had been found and turned in.

The staff at Bridge Brewing had found it, tucked it away, and returned it to me the next day, everything intact. What an awesome group of humans.

Love the vibe in the place as well. Will be our go-to for breweries.“

“A cool place to stop on the classic brewery tour in Vancouver is this fantastic spot with a great selection of beers (with a European flair), house-made wine, and cider. They also host cool events throughout the year—like the unforgettable Dead Fellows Halloween event and Krampusmarkt. It’s worth checking out! Currently, they have an amazing chef Doug Lee who makes the most delicious food. We go several times a week. Run, don’t walk there!“

“I just moved to the area and discovered this gem. Johnny the bartender is very personable, nice, and helpful with any questions you have about the menu and restaurant. The entire staff is great. I’ve only met a few of them but all great personalities. I suggest this place if you’re in town and want a good sandwich or snack at a good price. I had their brisket puff pastry and it was moist, flakey and delicious- and cheap!!! Unheard of in Vancouver.
The ambiance is awesome, even my high strung self could relax a bit.
The beer was pretty good too! Definitely come here.“

“One of my favorite breweries to pick up from the liqour store in Alberta so I went out of my way to check them out on vacation. Beer is even better on tap. The sweet heat pizza was absolutely awesome. Service was quick and friendly. Would love to come back one day.“

“Been to the concert series 3 years in a row and will continue to go“

“This place has a great Italian menu and everything is reasonably priced. The beers are good, and you can tell the brew master really cares about his beer and how it is served.

Why not 5 stars? I feel like the beer is a little pricey for the size of the pours, I would like to see a few dark beers on the menu, ans the charcuterie plate only had two pieces of bread on it.

Will I be back? Yes, the quality of the food was absolutely awesome, and beer was good/ they were trying some really fun and tasty things. Just the cost makes it something I will go to a few times this summer rather than every other week.“

“Cool local brewery with a restaurant inside themed like a food truck.

The waffle fries are awesome, and complement the beer.

Very laid back atmosphere, chill vibes, and good brews. Recommend for a good beer and food experience with a large patio.

Would be awesome if there were some TVs for sports or something, but otherwise solid spot.“

“The atmosphere and service at this brewery create such a cozy and relaxing vibe, making it a perfect spot to unwind. They offer beer flights at a really affordable price, which is great if you want to try a variety of their beers. You can get a flight of 4 different beers for just $10, which is a fantastic deal considering the quality and selection. It really adds to the overall experience, making it both enjoyable and budget-friendly.“

“Love R&B for the atmosphere and awesome beer, have been coming to this place for ages. This is just a warning - THE CITY IS RUTHLESS ON PARKING TICKETS HERE! There is only 1hr parking on the entire block, so don't stay for more than a pizza and a pint! Seems unfortunate for the business.“

“First time here, before heading to a show at the Wise Hall. Ordered the muffuletta Sando and chips and queso. Excellent portions, we didn’t run out of queso before the chips were finished, which is always a pet peeve of mine. The muffuletta was huge as described in the menu, and was amazing. We’ll be back!“

“Amazing patio, great selection of beers. Love this place.“

“Fabulous IPA along with other selections!“

“This is an absolute must-see stop in Vancouver, tucked into the heart of Granville Island! We stopped in for a dinner and drinks and not only was the service fast and friendly, but everything was great! We tried to False Creek Cider, Island Lager, and the Suckling Pig sandwich - they were all delicious!“

“friendly… good cocktails and beers“

“Thank you helping me look for my keys“

“Steamworks has a more dinner-like atmosphere compared to a typical bar, which is nice if you're looking for a sit-down spot with a good vibe. The drinks are definitely the highlight—tons of options, and they’re always great. The food, on the other hand, is pretty average for the price. It’s not bad, but it doesn’t quite match up to what you’re paying. Still, it’s a solid spot if you’re in the area and want good drinks in a more relaxed setting.“

“Popped in here to have a beer before going to another restaurant for a planned dinner. Happy Hour starts at 2 PM! Our bartender, Gabriel, was very knowledgeable about the beer made on premises. We will come back to try the food here on our next visit to Vancouver.“

“Fabulous IPA along with other selections!“

“It's one of the warmest places to come in from the rain as a single person because the regulars at the bar make you feel right at home! Great place to escape rush hour traffic or host a small private party!

$1 off your beer if you wear flannel on Friday!“
