This bar is the BEST...!! I went there before a show at the Hollywood. Great atmosphere and amazing staff. This will be my go-to watering hole whenever I'm in the Kits area...!!!

Had a really great time at Karaoke night. The place has really good cheap beer and the staff is awesome. I recommend either the daily soup or the chili-dog both are outstanding!!! I will be back!

Service!!!? BEST of the BEST!!!! Profesional- fun- respectful- friendly!!! This place is HOME to everyone!
I’m visiting Vancouver from Montreal, where I live. Came by here with a friend after biking down to the beach for a swim. As soon as we entered the bartender asked us for ID. I am 36 and my friend is 39. I didn’t have my wallet with me as I didn’t want to leave it on the beach while swimming. My friend suggested I could maybe show a photo of my ID on my phone and the bartender basically sneered and said no way.
I understand that people are a lot more zealous about this stuff in BC. The issue is treating us like idiots for even coming in. No apology or explanation whatsoever, just got a super rude, distainful denial of service that was the equivalent of “F- off”. It felt like interacting with a hostile border security cop.
No thanks!!
Had zero issues at the next bar down the street.

Theft by waitress.
This occurred March 24, 2023.
My friends and I went to this pub during our yearly pub crawl (The Fringe was our 4th pub). Half of our friends were pretty intoxicated, while the other half including me were only tipsy. When it came time to pay our bill, our waitress (a caucasian lady with a lot of piercings) thanked us for coming, and told us that we wouldn’t need to tip whatsoever. So we thanked her for her kindness and one by one began to pay. While i was paying i noticed that the bill’s total was much higher than i anticipated. However, i didn’t think too much about it and payed. After we all payed our share of the bill, i discussed with 4 of my friends, and we all noticed that the total was unusually high.
We used our phones calculator and later found out that the waitress added a ~40-50% tip to each of our bills without telling us.
We had a party of 7 people, but this was definitely not a “mandatory gratuity” type of thing. An undisclosed tip of this amount was the waitress stealing from 7 guys she assumed were all too drunk to notice.
The drinks were great, the vibes were great, and even the service was great. For all these reasons i truly want to go back. However knowing that certain employees of The Fringe are thiefs, and will exploit your intoxication is quite unsettling.

Travel back in time to the early 90s and visit this quirky Vancouver staple. The narrow room has a lot of cozy nostalgic charm, and it’s endearing to watch the regulars chum around with the friendly, punky staff. The Fringe feels like one of the last great bohemian watering holes in Van, and if you like something different, this Kits pub will not disappoint!
Great little dive bar, perfect atmosphere.
