18 Best Beer Bars in Vancouver

“Not your typical Dim Sum. And I think for the better! Service was excellent, very attentive wait staff. Food was as on point, even my wife who struggles with most traditional Chinese food dishes really enjoyed the food. I've had lots of dim sum and this is without a doubt some of the very best I've had. I did miss a couple of my favourite dishes such as luobogao (turnip cake) but the taro scallop balls made up for it! Ambiance is obviously not going to be the same as a great big Chinese restaurant but I loved the hole in the wall vibe, simple decor and focus on great food. This place is definitely on my short list of places to go when we're back in Vancouver again in the future.“

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

“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!“

“Great place to hangout with love ones“

“Friendly, knowledgeable bar staff who crafted cocktails based on what we like to drink! Speakeasy vibes. Definitely check out this cute, funky bar!“

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

“First time in Canada. Checked out a couple of bars while in Toronto. CRAFT in Toronto was the one for me. Great vibe. Very mellow. Huge variety of Canadian beers which I found to be more flavorful than American beers. Unbeatable service and hospitality from the manager to the hostess and everyone in between. The two nights I spent there were without a doubt the most pleasant bar experiences I’ve ever had. Thanks a lot for making my stay in Toronto the best it could be.“

“Huge thanks to Red Truck Beer for hosting an unforgettable Beer & Burger Night fundraiser! The atmosphere was amazing, the staff went above and beyond, and the support for our cause was incredible. We raised $3,000 for SickKids Foundation thanks to their generosity and the amazing community that showed up. Can’t recommend this place enough for great food, great beer, and even better people.“

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

“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!“

“Our waitress Jaclyn was a real crowd pleaser! She was high energy from the first hello to the final goodbye. She got to know us and when she learned about our love of pickle backs… next thing we know there is a round coming to our table! What a great surprise and a fun way to transition from dinner to the concert we were seeing. The Sports Bar also had staff present to help direct and walk along customers from the sports bar to a near by door for easy access to Rogers arena as a private event was blocking the usual door. This was a nice touch as we feared we would have to wait in the long lines outside in the rain. Once again the team at the Sports Bars went above and beyond. LOVE bringing friends and family here for dinner before Canucks Games and other events at Rogers! Thanks SB Team! See you again soon!“

“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.“

“Great food and great service.We are visiting from Winnipeg in for Cindy insert.Our server Kirsten was awesome.“

“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.“

“Really good food Authentic Vietnamese“

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