Booked this place for my boyfriend's birthday, and it felt like the server had snapped/switched early into our dining experience. She started nicely, offering us two different tables to sit at, so we chose the corner booth. We asked for the happy hour menu, but she said it's not on Saturdays. This should be on the website, but it's not, so we came in thinking it was going to be Happy Hour. Not sure if she was having a bad day, but as she brought our starters, I politely asked if we could order our mains. She snapped at me, asking me to give her a second. I wasn't implying that she needed to drop everything she was doing right at that moment to serve me, but I was giving her the heads up that we'd like to order our mains. Then, my friend later asked her if she could switch the Denver Nuggets game to the tv closest to us (there are 4 TVs total in the restaurant, and 2 were already playing the Lakers game). The server said yes, and then switched it to the Lakers game instead, and that game was now playing on 3 out of the 4 TVs in the bar. My friend apologized and said we wanted her to change it to the Nuggets game, and the server got extremely defensive and said, "You said the Lakers game", which didn't make any sense given that the game was already playing on 2 other TVs. She changed it to the Nuggets game, but it seemed like we were annoying her. Then she asked if my other friend wanted a to-go container, and he said my boyfriend would eat it. The server asked my boyfriend rudely, "You're gonna eat that?" as if she didn't believe him. These interactions rubbed me the wrong way, and in addition to the food that didn't taste very good, overall, it was not a very enjoyable experience. Maybe this server was having a bad day, but maybe you shouldn't come into work then. Also, the food is not very good, burgers are burnt, and the tacos were sus.

I would give the service 10 stars if I could. The server was so friendly and helpful. We celebrated my friend's birthday and she was on top of everything from the drinks and food to the cake we brought!

I got hear every year for the NBA Cup Championship, Could not recommend a better place to watch a basketball game than Courtside!

Such a cool, laid-back spot to hang out and watch the basketball game (or any sport) it's got a real NBA vibe. The servers were super easy-going and attentive. Definitely will be back!

The place is so clean, drinks are good but food is very disappointing. We came late and the kitchen was closing but unfortunately food was served cold. Would recommend only getting drinks if you come.

Did our fantasy football draft there. Great time. Great for any sports incl Jays, Canucks, or NBA. Must see little place in Vancouver.

Attending the wnba watch party was a highlight of my life! Women’s basketball on the big screens, where they were meant to be! The food was incredible and the vibes were immaculate. 10/10 no notes!

Christopher was an awesome bartender—friendly, attentive, and made great drink suggestions. The popcorn snack was a fun surprise, super tasty with a little spice and green onion. Great vibes all around. I’ll definitely be back!

Service was terrible. the server left our food at the pickup station for about 7 mins and delivered us cold nachos when we watched her not do anything else. there were next to no tables in there and she never came by to check on us or even come over to get our order. we had to continuously go over to her. I asked for cutlery and never received it. I was a server for years so I can judge from being in the same employment. Terrible service.
5++ stars. I watched the nba draft here and wasn’t disappointed. Atmosphere is top notch. Food was tasty and came out quick. Staff and owners are amazing. I plan on coming back regularly.

My friend got served this burger last night. When we showed it to the waitress, she physically recoiled. I’m no burger expert, but that looks way too rare. Might be safer to just stick to the basketball and skip the food next time.

10/10 spot to watch a hoops game. Take your hockey elsewhere! Finally we have a safe place to watch basketball in the city without that crowd. Great food, great service - the only place for hoopers in Vancouver
