23 Best Sports Bars in Vancouver

“went in for the boxing. sydney was my server and was great.“

“Was here with a friend tonight for happy hour. Amazing food and ambience. Staff was super chill. Bartender / Server was great. Manager (pretty sure he was the manager) came over and introduced himself to us. I’m definitely coming back. 5 stars, no question 👌🏾“

“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!“

“Fantastic view, beautiful fully cater food, good drinks, you can walk around or sit at a bar like seating table and watch the game.I can’t wait to go there again. My company paid for these tix and they give tickets to employees/ departments as a part of little perks and incentives. As an employee attending I couldn’t be happier. It doesn’t matter if we win or lose.“

“I’ve been dining at Babylon Bar and Restaurant for many years, and it continues to be one of my favourite spots in the city. Located right on Denman Street near English Bay Beach, it’s the perfect place to sit, relax, and soak in the view and the incredible Vancouver ambiance.

One of the things that truly sets Babylon apart is the owner. He’s often outside engaging with the public, welcoming guests personally, and you can immediately see how passionate he is about his food and his restaurant. He recognizes me every time I come in and treats me like family — that kind of genuine hospitality is rare and speaks volumes.

The service is always top notch — warm, attentive, and authentic. As a vegetarian, I really appreciate how accommodating they are. On my last visit, he made me a crispy-style falafel wrap with fries, and it was absolutely incredible. The wrap was perfectly done, full of flavour, and the side of tahini sauce they serve with it takes it to another level.

If you’re visiting English Bay or just walking along Denman, I highly recommend stopping in. Great food, outstanding service, beautiful location — this place is a true Vancouver gem.“

“Came for the Monday night burger special a few months ago and had a great time! Loved the vegan burger. We sat on the patio which was lovely, and our server Linda was awesome. Super attentive and friendly and gave some great recommendations when I couldn’t decide on a drink. I’ll definitely come back!“

“I have been there on a few occasions and the music is great!!!! I love that the lounge has a live DJ and bar service is great, the servers make sure to check on you.
Last time we were there we had such a great time dancing we didn’t want to leave - thanks to DJ George. Not many places left in Vancouver with this kind of atmosphere“

“A solid 5-star experience at Courtside! My friend and I sat at the bar, and despite the basketball theme, the staff was kind enough to switch a TV to the Canucks game for us, which was a thoughtful touch. We took full advantage of the all-day happy hour—amazing deals and delicious drinks. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Great atmosphere, great service, and great food. We’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!“

“Had my husband's b-day party in the back room. Staff were attentive and helped us set-up. The food was great. The mushroom pizza was a slice from Heaven. The atmosphere was fun and relaxed. Thanks to all for making it a wonderful time. Everyone had the best time.“

“The moment I walked in I could tell it was a classic neighbourhood spot. The space feels cozy and welcoming, like a place people in the community have been coming to for years.

I ordered a pasta dish and a salad. The pasta was well seasoned and cooked just right, and the salad tasted fresh and bright. Everything on the plate felt balanced and satisfying. It was the kind of meal that left me feeling full and happy, not rushed or overwhelmed.“

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

“Very kind & professional staff, really nice venue, and great clientele. Good food & music/events!!“

“This place was such an amazing and unexpected find! 😍 I had no idea UBC had a secret basement pub. The event was incredible, and if you’re a student, you definitely need to check this spot out! 🍻🔥

Huge shoutout to Meghal — a super cooperative and welcoming manager! And our drinks were crafted by Raj, one of the best bartenders out there. Highly recommended! 🍸✨“

“Popped in to check out the Sports Bar vibe. We heard it’s the place to be during 2026 FIFA World Cup and wanted to secure our spot if it lived up to the hype. We met and were served by Cam. He’s attentive, engaging and we decided absolutely this is where we want to watch a Canada match in June.
Happy hour held great deals, TVs dominated the walls. Ask for Cam, you won’t be disappointed!“
