The environment has held: loud music, friendly people that go there, cheap food, drinks a bit pricier. As always the vibes are good. TV always playing old sports đŸ›č 🏂 this is a classic EastVan bar.

2013 - you get more than you pay for.

2020 - photo of delicious burger, fries with gravy. Yum.

2025- I’ve been coming here for AWHILE and the new staff are incredibly over dramatically rude. The server yelled at me when I attempted to sit down and than proceeded not to give much attention to the table. This behaviour has been reoccurring for few months now. It’s unfortunate. Over the time I’ve been here it’s stayed steady, until this past little while.

Great place. Love the ambiance. Tasty food. Only problem is a girl at the front. Extremely rude. Worst first impression I've ever seen or experienced in a long while

If you enjoy being ignored and treated like an afterthought, then this is the place for you! Our experience started with a 15-minute wait just for the server to acknowledge our presence, followed by another agonizing 15 minutes to get our drinks. We ordered shots for the table, only to be told we had to leave because they "forgot" to check our IDs at the front. Seriously? That's a failure on your part, not ours! You should have done your job before seating us, not after we ordered food
To make matters worse, the waitress completely messed up our bills. How incompetent can you be? It’s clear that this place has no clue about customer service or basic operational procedures. And let’s talk about hygiene—the restrooms were absolutely disgusting. I wouldn’t be surprised if they haven’t been cleaned since the establishment opened
This place is a complete joke, and I will never be returning. They need to get their act together and figure out how to run it properly. Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere that actually values its customers!

Both times I’ve been here, the server has greeted me, sat me down, and then never come back.

Had the worst experience at The Dime a few weeks ago. We went for dinner and after we got our drinks, the server never came back to ask if we wanted to order food. She came to the table beside us and would leave without making any the contact with us. We finally got her attention to ask for the bill and we took our business somewhere else.

Great place to get some cheap food and drinks!

Great spot for dive bar vibes, cheap food, cheap drinks, and loud music. Warehouse group does a good job at creating the local hole in the wall atmosphere while offering a consistent and very cheap menu.

If you want attentive and doting service, top quality food, and a cozy spot for intimate conversation, this is not your bar.

If you want to be treated respectfully but mostly left alone, a pint of lager, a filling pub meal for under $20 (and maybe to tag a bathroom wall) this is the vibe.

My overall experience was really bad just because of the service. The food and drinks were good but our host/server was the rudest person. She was unprofessional, was almost yelling at me and my friend, and really aggressive. I usually let these things go, because sometimes the person might just be having a really bad day and are tired. But then i saw her speaking with other customers and taking their orders; she was friendly with them. She took her own sweet time to take our orders, and bring them (even customers who came after us were served before).
The only thing that I can think of, which might have caused this difference in treatment is RACISM. In my years of living in Vancouver, it has never happened to me before. Really upsetting to see people behaving like that in the 21st century! Would like the manager to take an action on this!

They don’t provide bills and just hand you the machine when you are ready to pay. One of us was charged $90 after tip and taxes when it should have been around $70 after tip and taxes. I was charged $55 after tip and taxes when it should have been around $45. When we asked to see a detailed receipt, they told us they could not provide one. Instead gave us a $20 bill to compensate for being overcharged
 make sure you keep track of what you order as they seem to overcharge.

waitress neglected our table more than once for half an hour each time she came to drop off our food/drinks. watched other tables get served with food and asked about how their food/drink was as my table was left abandoned (doesn’t help she walked by our table multiple times too) as we kept raising and waving our hand for her (the waitress’) attention as she completely ignored us. absolutely frustrating. won’t be coming back.

The waitress here is absolutely terrible, rolled her eyes when I ordered. Forgot my drink for over 30 minutes and doesn’t check up on her tables when it’s slow on a weeknight. Won’t be coming back if she’s serving. Incredibly rude and bad at her job. She’s been my server twice now and both interactions have been terrible. Theres a male bartender here who’s very sweet and attentive though, so shout outs to him for his kindness.

It's a great place as it let's you support the homeless in need through their happy hour menu.

The atmosphere is low because even though the majority of the service staff are awesome, they do have their friends over. They can be racist and rude towards customers.

I feel they should have stricter boundaries as an establishment regarding these issues.
