This place shames Granville Island. Listless staff, nothing on tap, a meagre list of beers, nothing much for wine. We were served two glasses of the dregs of whatever bottles were open, and we saw them finish one bottle and use a different wine to meet the amount. Such a good location wasted. Dreadful.

Great little spot by the water. We got the charcuterie board and dips, they were good. The presentation was not very pretty but it all goes down the same way i guess! This is a nice little spot with a patio for drinks and snacks.

We arrived as a group of 11 people and the waiter told us that we couldn't be in the outside area because there were too many of us.

Must try place at Granville island.

You have to realize that because this is a part of The Arts Club Theatre Company, and that means the servers and bartenders are Technically Unionized. This can translate in one of two ways, the staff have either been there forever and are bored, or they are absolute people pleasers who want to help give you the best experience.You will roll the dice whenever you come here. I suggest you come for beers and ask how recently the beer lines have been cleaned, if they don’t know? Do yourself a favour and buy bottled or the Guinness.Don’t bother with the food unless it’s on special, there’s way better fish and chips on Granville island by the fish market along the sea wall at Go Fish.I came here regularly when I was younger and even hosted an event, this place is great for newer artists to try and have their first show, support the artists that are performing. Come for drinks and live music and dance around, that’s this place’s specialty.It’s basically the only bar on Granville island that offers those experiences, and there are some absolute gems to be found in new artists.Thursday nights used to be funk night with the 7-9 piece band The Phonix, and they absolutely killed it. Not sure if that’s still the case but they’re worth checking out if you need a band for a wedding or event.

This is a good place to grab a drink. We sat outside and views of the water. We were practically underneath the bridge into Vancouver. We did not have food. There were a number of beers on tap. There were not any good wines but they did a few good scotches and whiskeys.

Fun little night club right by the water at the art of Granville island. Always loved it when The Phonix Band plays there.

Nice patio views and affordable happy hour drink prices here!

We saw a fantastic band called Ardent Tribe one night. The sound system was great and not so loud that it distorted sound. The staff were very nice. Only downside is the kitchen closed 8 and we arrive 10 minutes after

Stopped in for dinner after a visit to Granville Island. The service was great. Our server was helpful with questions we had about the menu. Both of us decided on the fish and chips...which was more than a generous serving for each of us. The drink selection was also full of choices. Husband chose a pale Ale and for me a white wine. Was an very reasonably priced meal, and delicious. We will be back!

This is a great place to spend a Sunday afternoon with the awesome blues/jazz band that plays on Sundays.. drinks are good, service is great, the only reason I'm giving 3 stars is due to the gluten free menu, there's not much to choose from, but they do serve a gluten free beer called glutenburg blonde and for the people that can have gluten the fish and chips look delicious But I will definitely return because of the fantastic band and great service.
