33 Best Pubs near West Vancouver

“We came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday that enjoys karaoke. We took the bus over as it was only a 10 minute bus ride and ubered back home since we would be drinking.

This was our second karaoke night here as we had such fun the first time. There is an interesting bunch of regulars that come here to karaoke. We saw a few of the same regulars from the last time.

There is a ground level bar and tables and you walk downstairs to the karaoke section. They have a large binder with songs arranged by artist or song title. You write your song and name on a little piece of paper and hand it to the DJ.

Several women in our group sang Take It Easy (Eagles) and It’s Too Late (Carole King) and as a group while another guy sang the Brady Bunch theme. 2 other girls in our group did a Taylor Swift song I think.

They have several good beers in tap, wine and other drinks. I had 2 pints of Parallel 49’s Tricycle. It is a Grapefruit Radler so a good summer beer that is under 5%. I ordered the house red wine but received the house white wine but she was ok with that as she also likes white wine and did not want me to return it. So it worked out. Others had one of the draft beers or wine as well.

It’s a lot of fun and worth going to! There’s really good and not so good singers but the audience is very supportive of anyone that gets up to sing. You don’t have time get up and sing but you can sing along as you’ll likely recognize many of the songs. They also have live music and sports games on too. So stop by if you’re looking for a good time in a Saturday night!“

“The staff went out of their way to accommodate us. Clean place , great food and fantastic staff and service“

“I love the Red Llion Bar & Grill.
Fantastic menu.
I have never had a bad meal or bad service.
The salads are great as is, well everything.
A favorite is the portobello vegetarian burgers, the wild salmon salad and the very yummy prawn gyozas appetizer.“

“Really enjoyed our visit before the Teddy Swims concert. Great local beer selection, burger was delicious! The place was rocking!!! Asked the bartender if it was always like this on a Saturday and he said he’d never seen it so busy. Bartenders were slammed.“

“great food, good beers,the best company“

“The food was great — loved the fried chicken and the rice cakes. The overall atmosphere was nice too, and the K-pop music added to the vibe.

However, there was only one server at the front. She had to handle seating guests, making drinks, taking payments, serving dishes, and cleaning tables all by herself. It was clearly too much for one person to manage. The management really should staff more servers.“

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

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

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

“Amazing as always Great food and great service.“

“Great beer! Curious creatures in tap was amazing!!“

“Overall, we had a great experience. They were able to accommodate our hockey team as well as the parents since they have a huge space. Food was delicious and service prompt and friendly. Location was great, right in the Shipyard Food was delicious. I had the Mediterranean bowl. It had little too much dressing but I should have told them to go easy on the dressing. Value is somewhat good. But it's like anywhere. Inflation affects all the eateries and for the price, I thought the portion size was little small but overall not too bad.“

“Stopped in for happy hour to have a beer and poutine. Food was great the team even better. Ending up staying and engaging with multiple staff members. (Danny, Sean, Javier, and an Australian bartender)They were all extremely nice and fun to talk to. Beyond the decor and service they were experimenting with new drinks and we got to try one. Watch out for the biscoff martini it is absolutely delicious!“

“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!!“

“Great place for drinks & food! Also lots of TVs 📺 to watch hockey 🏒, football/soccer ⚽️, American football 🏈, baseball, etc!“

“Great atmosphere. outstanding team!“

“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!“

“Stopped in while waiting for an appointment near by and was most impressed !!
Dale was on our arrival and requests like family had come for dinner .
Pub food offerings that will have us coming back with every visit to this part of town.
Warm atmosphere + great staff + great food offerings at a welcome price.
Thanks for your hospitality Dale !!
John & Donna“

“This is by my favorite Browns. The staff here are very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. The food is always fantastic.
Several times my boyfriend or mom and I have had Gavin as our server. After two visits he recognized us instantly. Gavin is just generally fun to have wait on you.
He’s friendly, accommodating, and builds great relationships with guests. I recommend asking for him.
I also spoke with Byron today who was just awesome. I am always impressed to see higher ups on the floor at Browns.
I just love the feel of this establishment.“

“Nacho's and beer are my favorites. I don't get out often but when I do I come here. Friendly service great food. Prices are good to.“

“Lovely mushroom pizza Tasty beer Friendly staff“

“Fun times and relaxed for a meeting spot for friends. Great service considering our wait staff was a new hire! Fab!“

“I went on a Friday evening for the first time. It hit crowded and we had to sit in the entrance. Other than that staff held the crowd in balance and everyone was eating and the food is scrumptious.
Atmosphere is Soothing after a week of work.
The people are friendly and it was just a Great part of my neighborhood.“

“Ordered wine and other necessities this morning. Arrived by lunchtime! Always friendly and reliable.“

“Been in here twice now while on visits to Vancouver. I'm rating this place as a dive bar and as dive bars go, this place is great. Friendly bartender. Clientele are either pleasant or indifferent to your presence and not causing any issues. Pool table is straight and drinks are cheap. I'd recommend to anyone wanting to check out a safe dive. Props on the exterior signage!“

“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.“

“Stumbled upon this place while on our visit to Vancouver & loved the atmosphere & hospitality of James & the other bartenders. Great place to enjoy 🥳“
