30 Best Pubs in Vancouver

“best...burger...ever......“

“great food, good beers,the best company“

“I would highly recommend Brown’s Social at UBC. Our server, Keean, was attentive and very helpful in suggesting options on the menu. I took his suggestion and ordered the ahi tuna crunch salad and it was delicious. We also tried the oreo cookie jar for dessert and it was super good too.“

“Dropped by at a random time, so it was empty, hence quick service. Had the boneless secret sauce chicken—brilliant balance of sweet and savoury, with the sauce absolutely coating the chicken (which was disappointingly lacking the second time I visited), yet the batter is impressively crispy in all their chicken menu items. Complimentary pickled radishes were a nice touch, and I sampled some wings, which were just alright, but the sweet potato cheese balls are recommended. Only downside was the rosé tteokbokki, which just tasted like a plain cheese sauce, really.“

“Great bar! Good food and drinks, only bad I had to pay in cash and not credit or debit card.“

“Best place, always! Food. Service. Everything“

“Best slushy in Van!! Hit the patio for some yummy wings n poutine too!! Maniac Mondays 👍👍👍“

“We went to Six Acres for breakfast, and it was an incredible experience! The ambiance is warm and inviting, creating the perfect start to our day. The food? Absolutely amazing—every bite was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. What we love most is that it feels like a hidden gem—affordable in the best way possible, offering top-quality dishes without breaking the bank. The service was friendly and attentive, making our morning even better. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast or any meal, Six Acres truly delivers. Highly recommend!“

“A great local, great daily specials, full happy hour feels with an amazing array of locals that will fast become pals. The bartenders actually do know your name on your second visit, and full of charm. No politics, a packed trivia night on Wednesdays and don’t let the stove behind the bar fool you. It’s a limited menu however the quality and portions are winners. I used to make the best nachos, until I tried them at The Brighton. It doesn’t matter who makes them, if you are a fan, it’s the Brighton or Jackalopes. Give it a try“

“Highly recommend! Michael was awesome! Cheers!!“

“Many good times back in the day. Can't really talk about any of them. This place was lawless. I've taken a couple serious beatings outside of this place. I've also given some. But good times were had by all! Once had great prices on meat, cheese, batteries, and bikes too!“

“Friendly staff and a fun crowd makes the Princeton a memorable night out.“

“Metropole is the epitome of a dive bar in the best possible way! The atmosphere is super laid-back, with a gritty charm that makes it the perfect spot for a casual night out. Drinks are cheap, and the music selection is always on point, playing a mix of indie rock, punk, and local bands. The crowd is a fun mix of regulars and newcomers, which adds to the friendly vibe. Don’t expect anything fancy, this place is all about great conversations, affordable drinks, and no-frills fun. Perfect for anyone looking to experience an authentic dive bar in Vancouver.“

“Great time at Bimini's! They accommodated our special request to book out their mezzanine level for 50+ people for a joint birthday party, with a very reasonable deposit, and allowed us to decorate the place, bring in birthday cake, and have a mini karaoke corner using our own portable system with a laptop mirrored to one of their TVs as the karaoke screen. Service and food were great as well! We ordered a few rounds of appies for the group, and everyone purchases their own drinks and could order additional food as needed. Sam the manager was very good at checking in to ensure all was going well throughout the evening. Would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a great special event space. Thanks again Bimini's and we will be back!“

“Friendly bar and good music“

“Came here after a workout at the neighborhood community centre hoping for a great lunch. Guess what happened? It was amazing! Relaxed atmosphere and friendly people. All positive feedback someone would want and expect from a neighbourhood pub.I'll definitely be back for a beer soon.

Kid-friendliness: Minors are allowed from opening until 8 PM, as I recall from the sign.

Wheelchair accessibility: Open space, which is not too cramped like most traditional pubs. If you join the normal lunch or dinner crowds, the exterior door will be propped open. The interior door is not too heavy.Bathroom accessibility to be discovered.“

“Popped in to the Kings Head this afternoon. Our second visit as I am visiting family. Had a great afternoon sat in the sun when the clouds would let us. But no matter as the heaters were on and kept us nice and toasty. Had some great wings & fry’s all washed down with some Cider. Served by Christina who’s new to the role but destined to be management in no time, attentive without being overbearing. And made us feel right at home. Will definitely be back soon… cheers guys“
