Came here after dinner for a drink and a small bite. We ordered 2 beers and wings to share. The wings were $22 for just 8 small pieces, bland and clearly boiled before being tossed in peri peri sauce. Definitely not worth it.

The service made things worse. We stayed less than an hour, and while I hadn’t even finished my beer, the server asked 3 times within 10 minutes if we wanted another round, even after we said “no, we’re good” twice. It wasn’t busy — still an hour before closing on a weekday with several other tables around — so the pushiness felt unnecessary.

I get that Granville Island is a tourist spot and prices are higher, but for a brewery with this reputation, both the food and service really need improvement.

Great place on the beautiful Granville Island. I only had beers, but they were all fantastic. The staff was super nice and helped with suggestions. While I haven't tried any food, many tables around did, and everything smelled super good. Highly recommend!

Super excited to visit the brewery after enjoying their canned beers at home. Sat at the bar and ordered 2 pints. Never saw the bartender again..my husband emptied his beer and sat their with an empty glass. We were towards the end so couldn't easily call anyone over unless they made eye contact which they didn't. Would have been nice to have some level of service or order food. After I finished my beer the bartender finally came over and at that point we just wanted to leave. Disappointing. The beer was fine but nothing to write home about. There are much better spots.

Excellent beer and friendly, attentive service from Liam on our visit. We didn't eat (except for the pickles, which were very nice) but the food looked good. A great place to stop when you need a break from shopping on Granville Island.

Great brews, wonderful ambience with live music. Highly recommend if you want to stop by somewhere in the area and just chill, soak the atmosphere in.

It was a short visit, the beer and snaks were just what we expected. Rasta service

A Vancouver original, I enjoy my visits to Granville Island brewing when I'm in Granville Island area in Vancouver. I have enjoyed going here and drinking their beer for decades.

There are usually long queues outside but the line seems to move fast. Friendly staff and nice beer. A great experience for anyone visiting Vancouver

Friendly Staff however felt rushed to choose my order. Waiter seemed.to be in a rush. The food was ok, the atmosphere was really nice and the Brews were great.

Brews were decent, but the choices were a bit limited. On top of the already limited list on the menu, they were tapped out of our first choices. The food was pretty yummy, particularly the fish and chips. That seemed to be a crowd favorite as many of the tables had at least a plate of this. The fish was flaky and crispy, with loads of great flavor. Definitely try out the fish n chips. The place also has a bunch of board games and such to keep the little ones entertained. I may skip the beers next time and just opt to dine here.

Its ok.
Very limited menu, clearly designed for beers and appies.
We ordered their version of Hawaiian pizza and a caprese pizza.
The pork on the Hawaiian is ok, you need ham to have the salty factor with the sweet pineapple.
Caprese was fine, barely any cheese on it, mostly tomato sauce with some arugula.
The problem is, both pizzas were soggy, you couldn't hold them to eat them as they were mushy until near the edge.
Wouldn't eat here again.

Enjoyed my food and beer. Server Brittany was incredibly nice and attentive. Also had another girl help us get more napkins.
We only waited a couple minutes to get seated.

I did not stay as long as I would have liked because shortly after we were seated, there was a live band that started setting up and doing sound check directly behind us which made it a little difficult to hear eachother. I would come back since the food was great and I loved the beer. Would have had more if I I had a designated driver.

Beer was ok but terrible service. Made to wait for a table when there were clearly plenty available the had to wait ages to be served. Server wasn't particularly friendly either. Definitely trading on location rather than quality of service.
