18 Best Gastropubs near Vancouver

“I was waiting for my truck to be serviced and I found this little spot. The atmosphere was nice and the food was delicious. I had the meatloaf sandwich with fries and their chowder soup. Mars served me and she was very nice. I will definitely be returning in the future. Thanks!“

“Very enjoyable dining experience.Tamar was our friendly, efficient and very personable server.We enjoyed their delicious pretzel with schmaltz, (that's a no for me), mustard and obatzda.We ordered a big plate of French fries, a couple of sausages and some kraut. Everything was piping hot and well prepared.Solid! Personable, vibrant staff who know their menu and are extraordinarily helpful. The food was good. The ambience was lively and entertaining. Stammtish’s menu is limited but you can most definitely get a well prepared meal at this establishment. We started with the pretzel and enjoyed a bowl of beer cheese soup. Both palatable. Mr. Wonderful had the schnitzel, warm potato salad and shredded carrot, there wasn’t a crumb left on his plate. I ordered the Maultaschen stuffed with leeks. They were quite good! We ordered spätzle and a knackwurst to take home. The spätzle is sautéed in butter and it was good and I will be turning it into kasespätzle this evening! The beer list is decent and they are able to make recommendations to what your preferences are. We look forward to returning.“

“I am on a work trip and am happy to have found this place.There was only one lady working the front. She was fast, attentive, and very nice despite being incredibly busy.There was one Cook during most of the lunch rush. He worked as quickly as he could. My food came out hot, fresh, and delicious.I had the chicken and waffles. The chicken was seasoned and battered well. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle had a nice crispness to it and was still soft and pillowy.If I lived here, I'd be a regular. My only small complaint is that it was cold.“

“This place is my not-so-secret secret spot. Been on a mission to find a place with wings that remind me of ones back in Virginia and Lighthouse has come the closest. I make the drive out here whenever I really am craving a solid wing. French fries are great. Service is always killer. Pool table and plenty of tables. It’s truly a gem“

“Been here a couple times and I am consistently pleased with the service, value and quality. I’ve drank break side beers for a long time. Coming into their establishment it is so light and airy and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and the environment is lofty, airy and bright. Their beer fails to disappoint and each time I’ve come in the food is a perfect balance of pub food and class. Comfort dishes made with care. Their waffle fries are so nicely crisp on the outside with that smooth, mashed potato feel inside. The cubano was wonderful. Hard crust with soft, fall apart pork and crunchy house pickles with chipotle mayo for that subtle smoky heat. My partner ordered the beer and burger special and even a simple burger with a couple little add on was cooked well and seasoned properly. I could go on but I sure do enjoy coming here.“

“It was nice It was a nice atmosphere I enjoyed the staff, and the food was amazing I'd like to say that I enjoyed the company of the people around me. It's a Bar, with a restaurant atmosphere , I really enjoyed my time there I came from out of town and I know every time I come to Portland I will be going to Tabor “

“The vibe of this spot is wonderful. ??☂️Walked in on an early cold & cloudy Saturday afternoon.The woody rock ? classic tavern vibes had me feeling at home. Had no problem knocking clean a whole turkey reuben and coke.Could sit and digest before heading out, even when it got busy. Noticed almost everyone else had ordered reubens too. ?*Worked at a restaurant in Florida for some years and folks loved our reubens, but they don't come close to these. ✅“

“Our son decided to take the family here, for one of the adults' birthday! This will be the first time, we've heard of this restaurant, to be honest. There were six of us eating here for the first time, ages 6-73. I call this a Tapas-style restaurant because almost everything was meant for sharing. Starting of course with a large fondue, with a steaming urn of hot melted cheese. The fondue came with a nice variety of sausages, vegetables and bread, and thinly slices of apples. Other things we shared were the Schnitzel, smoked trout, Bavarian pretzel, golden beets, and the burger Alpina which was served with fries. For desert we had the flourless chocolate cake and panna cotta. Between us we did have a glass of wine, a couple cocktails and an IPA. This is a gastro pub and the drinks menu is extensive. All of the food items were delicious and as described on the menu. Service was friendly and appropriately paced. The bathrooms are clean. Our youngest, conversed easily and both were polite to our waiter, who understands children! Bonus point for him.“

“4 stars for the beer. Family member said beer was pretty dang good and it’s impressive what they’ve done and how they’re 100% gluten free. Although I wish it was clear on their website that this is a “limited service restaurant” (I.e. order from your phone at the table and very limited contact with staff other than them bringing your food to you). I understand if they do not have the means to be a full-service restaurant but just wish it was clearly stated on their website. A Gastropub is supposed to be a full-service restaurant. As someone with celiac disease, I rarely get to go out to dinner and was looking forward to eating at a full service restaurant (not a 5 star fancy place necessarily but at least just given the service that usually comes with food priced as high as it is) We drove from Vancouver, Wa and were a little bummed. Beer was great though ?“

“First time customer. My wife wanted a BLT so I googled what restaurants had them and this place came up. It did not disappoint! Menu is chock full of pop culture references that will entertain you while choosing your libations which are quite extensive. Shout out to our server, Mallory, who was happy to answer a few questions when it came to dessert selection and she was right on! Also kid friendly!“

“Cool spot, very relaxing yet has great vibe of energy. Both the drinks and the food exceeded expectations as set by menu and/or friendly staff.A great founding cornerstone and testiment of "Greater Mississippi Street" rebirth and proof of ongoing Eastside dominance of ever expanding list of " places to be".Don't miss out! Treat yourself- Go..!“

“I don't think it is possible to create a more Portland vibe bar than the Loyal Legion. A mix of an old world beer hall and a modern neighborhood pub, the Loyal Legion is a great spot for a happy hour get together with coworkers or a relaxed evening nosh with family and friends. The selection of beers is - well, mind blowing. I think they may have the finest selection of draft beers in the city. Not a beer drinker? Never fear, they offer cocktails, ciders and a number of other adult beverages. The staff are all Portland super cool and very friendly and helpful. Ask for a beer recommendation and you are most assuredly going to get a great cerveza. The food selection is also geared toward easy, relaxed bar eats. Good burgers, fries, and tater tots. Add an order of sweet potato fries and you can even convince yourself you're eating healthy. They have a fried cauliflower appetizer that makes even the dreaded white vegetable edible.“

“Alberta Pub in the King area of Portland is a cornered watering hole hangout hosting a raucous of a party until the wee hours of the morning. My daughter wanted to kickstart our Sunday as she'd gotten wind of Alberta P's Soulful Sundays lineup a while back and suggested we come during my short solo visit to Portland. Alberta P. has a dim, cozy feel with the bar area+stools and other tables around. My kid and I were here for the live music the next room over. This room has high stools, slender counters on opposite side and several hi-top tables front of the stage- with cymbals, decorating the walls. Grab a cocktail and settle in. The owner seems to be a legend in these parts who has been hosting and supporting the local live jazzy+Soulful Sundays music scene for a while. Come here if you wanna listen and jive to musicians zhuzh up famous jazzy and soul tunes. The Sunday my kid and I visited, the live band improvised their own schtick- but it also felt sloppy as the main singers ate up a bulk of the time stretching out the songs. At times, it felt and looked like they were cackling. Despite this, the singers had a powerful voice-especially the guy. My daughter and I ended our evening on a high note in a dimly lit venue while a live band tinkled out sets of jazzy+ soulful tunes until late. Come with an open mind and you'll leave with your senses bedazzled in some fun- but interesting way.“

“Had so much fun visiting this little bar. We are from Arizona and didn't realize everything closed so early during the week. So we stopped later in the night. I wish I got the ladies name who helped us because she was wonderful. She made a delicious old fashion. They had really good food and drinks.Parking: You use the kitty parking app“

“This is the quintessential neighborhood bar. The food is great and the atmosphere is simple. You won't find TV's every 5 feet surrounding the bar which I do not care for. Everything is made in house and very fresh. I have a place down the street and my choice on Division for a bar will always be Richard's.“

“Stopped in here for a bite to eat and a few drinks. Place was lovely, very nice architecture inside and the bench seats were pleasant and comfortable. Had the burgers which were not over salted and were juicy. The Dopplebock was amazing though, one of my favs for sure.“

“We are not local so when it came to finding a special location to celebrate my daughter's birthday I could not have stumbled across a better spot. This place is so much fun. They have board games, table games, bowling & giant versions of connect four & jenga. Our server Ben was absolutely phenomenal. He was friendly, funny & made sure we had a great time. The menu can easily accommodate specialty diets for vegetarians & GF peeps. Emily ordered the beyond burger & fries with a strawberry rhubarb beverage. I ordered the cauliflower nachos with a strawberry daiquiri. The servings are very generous. For dessert Emily got the salted caramel cake with a side of warmed cookies & I treated myself to the flourless chocolate cake. We stayed for almost 3 hours & left with a lot of to go boxes. If we were local this would be our spot for sure.“

“I organized a dinner in the patio area for 23 guests. The management at Produce Row was wonderful and the atmosphere was perfect - they had 3 picnic tables set up for us when we arrived, and it open-air and quiet enough for us to hear each other. The picnic tables made it easy for folks to move around and catch up with different folks throughout the dinner. If you are looking for a great open-air venue near the convention center for a larger group (or a smaller group), I highly recommend Produce Row! The food was really good (something for everyone) and the service was great, too. I highly recommend the Produce Bowl!“
