17 Best Beer Bars in Vancouver

“Fabulous place, great staff, great service, Thank you“

“Stumbled upon this restaurant and was a nice find. Excellent vegetarian options. We ordered a variety of food and it was all delicious. Friendly staff and reasonable prices. We’ll be back!

Vegetarian options: Nice selection of vegetarian options including dim sum.“

“We visited The Magnet on West Pender in Vancouver last night. It's owned by the same folks that run Brassneck Brewery (on Main, very decent beers) and the Alibi Room (on Alexander, great beer list, best veggie burger in town, great location). We've heard good things from friends and checked it out for their beer list which is vast and great choices (only BC beers these days as everywhere but excellent selection). They have slow pours for some of the pilsners and a side pull for others for a denser, creamier foam. Staff is very knowledgable about the beers and about the short but mighty natural wine list as well. The real surprise for us was the food though. We had heard good things about their pies (English Pork Pie, daily choices) and charcuterie board but as vegetarians we opted for the Grilled Carrots with Spiced Orange Glaze, Chana Dal, Spinach, Cilantro & Cashew Lemon Cream, served with Fried Flat Bread and the Whipped Feta & Olive Dip, Grilled Zucchini, Warm Balsamic Shallot Dressing & Housemade Olive Focaccia. We were majorly impressed by the presentation and taste of both. The warm balsamic shallot dressing was divine. SO GOOD. Everything fresh, on point and so delish. Highly recommend checking this place out when you are in downtown Vancouver.“

“I randomly walked down the St. to explore something a little different at the Craft. working on my computer, I couldn't not help but overhear the conversations that the bartender was happening with his customers. I couldn't help but ask him for his name and offer a compliment. Edgar, was incredibly polite and engaging with all his customers. You could sense his genuine approach and how everyone appreciated him. I would quickly recruit him if I was in the industry. LOL I'll be back to visit soon! Thank YOU Edgar!“

“We stopped by for brunch and was treated to very delicious food (Avocado toast and Chicken, kale and salad) and amazing service. There was too much food for our appetite and we ended up packing 1/2 of the Chicken Kale Salad which we forgot to take with us when we left. When we got home 2 hours later and realized that we had left the small box behind we telephoned them and were pleasantly surprised that they had put it aside for us!!! We will definitely be back with friends and family to enjoy more of their offering.“

“Amazing ambiance. This place knows what it wants to be. All the menus, from cocktails to wine and beer and food, are small and focused. The judgment is superb. Service is great — the simple act of being welcomed at the door on a busy Saturday night with info about the wait —- it’s great. Will be back.“

“Ambiance de garden party ! Un choix de bière incroyable!“

“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!“

“Tuesday Pho specials are a must! Fantastic flavours & easy on the wallet!!“

“For those new to the joy of mazesoba, I took a video of how to enjoy every last bit of it. Once you have finished eating the mazesoba noodles, you will feel sad that you are unable to lick the bowl, have every last streak of awesome sauce and 'eat the bowl clean' like your Asian mom told you to do growing up. You will think what a waste of the delicious sauce, all those nice bits of minced meat, seaweed, and spring onion. And then they will offer you a few spoonfuls of rice. You add it into the bowl and use it to soak up all the delicious sauce and pick up all the yummy bits. You will add the delicious homemade vinegar that you have been enjoying eating the entire meal. And when you finish and the bowl is clean, you will, for the rest of your life, wonder why other delicious noodle places don't offer this as part of an expected piece of noodle life. ?

Vegetarian options: The most delicious vegetarian mazesoba ever. So worth it.“

“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!“

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

“attended a retirement party, and the staff were so accommodating! Service with a smile, they were happy to chat with us and ensure we had the best experience. The food was delicious and warm. The space was clean and welcoming, we did wonder why all the spine of the books were faced away would have been nice to see the collection. Highly recommend Tap & Barrel for your next corporate function.“

“Really good food Authentic Vietnamese“

“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.“

“Kirsten is the best server in Vancouver.“

“Love this place! Staff are super nice and the burgers are absolutely scrumptious 🤤“
