12/10 experience! Came for the extensive beer list, which didn’t disappoint, then was blown away by the amazing dishes. The whipped feta dish and the scotch egg dish were phenomenal. The highlight though was dessert … the BEST sticky toffee pudding we have ever had! If you are going to a show at the Queen E, make sure you stop by The Magnet before or after!

Attentive, welcoming, staff. What appeared to be the owner working on a Saturday night ensuring everyone was taken care of personally.

Decent selection of draft beers. Ciders were very dry, almost wine like. Charging $1.5 extra per glass of cider in a flight is a choice. Odd portion sizes.. $6.50 ish for a 8 oz glass of beer, enough said. The decor is not very cohesive, feels a bit forced? Very millennial-type atmosphere that’s trying to be upscale. Could be better. Employees were lovely.

Not sure we’re the target demographic (I’m 60) so the fact that the beers were all strong, stronger or strongest (by ABV) and that the wine list was a bit on the ‘in vogue’ end of the spectrum (think skin-contact, orange, ‘crisp acidity’ and ‘minerality’) and these two old fogeys were struggling for a session beer and swiggable wine! However, the burgers were top-notch - the best we had during 3 weeks in Canada - and the service was super helpful and friendly

Gem of Vancouver! Great home made Focaccia bread; pillowy, soft, warm, delicious. Waitstaff was attentive and helpful. Food & drinks were perfect 👌

An excellent gem with great food, beer, and atmosphere. I pray it doesn't go away due to the poor handling of the situation with violence and drugs by the city and Canadian government.

So glad I got introduced to The Magnet! Great service, ambiance and delicious food. Can’t wait to go back and further explore the menu.
Where to begin- this spot truly saved the night! After a somewhat disappointing dinner elsewhere, we wandered in, drawn by the warm and inviting vibe. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful (impressively so, given it was only his second day!). When he couldn’t answer a question about the flavor differences between pilsners, he went above and beyond by bringing samples of all three. The beer selection was IMPECCABLE, featuring unique and one-off brews from local breweries. And the twilight, plant-covered bar created such a cozy, welcoming atmosphere- perfect for catching up with friends and ending the evening on a high note.

I went there for drinks and ordered the Magnetic Mule. The server asked which liquor I preferred, and I chose tequila—without being told it would cost an extra $14. When the bill came, I was shocked to see the Magnetic Mule priced at $28, even though the menu listed it at $14. That kind of hidden cost really threw me off, and honestly, it made me uncomfortable. I definitely wouldn’t recommend this place to others. Just wanted to give a heads-up.

My purse got stolen and they don’t wanted to accept an digital ID. That’s hilarious.
