This is my favourite place in town to sample beer. The selection of drafts is extensive thanks to a rotating cask program made up of some of the finest brews by local brewers. Conrad, Derrick, Iain, James, to drop a few names of local brewmasters,…More »

Ok, so I'm reviewing a burger bar but not reviewing the burgers? Why? Well, I'll leave that to the experts. And most reviews and publications around town will tout the supremacy of the burger , and even the onion rings here.
I love this place because…More »

Beer! Beer! Beer!
What else do you want to know? For all I care, they could only have bread and butter on the food menu and I'd still be happy.
It may not be the best drinking room in town, but it's certainly one of the better, and it raises the bar…More »
Martini's has all the ingredients for a great feelgood establishment.
Great prices, wide menu selection, friendly staff, late night hours and portions to satisfy anyone.
Month after month, year after year, Martini's comes up solid.
Delicious pizza.…More »

What can I say, Subeez. Haters wanna hate.
I can safely admit that, aside from DIX (now closed), this is the establishment that I have frequented the most in my time in Vancouver. There are so many memories attached to this place that I can't even…More »

Cold Jager on tap. The friendliest bar staff around. And a plaque on one of the tables to honour the frequent visits by staff of our company. What's not to love. Yaggers has daily specials and interesting menu items to suit a variety of tastes. The…More »

Smack dab in the tourist centre of Gastown, but Black Frog remains a hidden gem. Tucked away in the corner behind the steam clock is this casual bar / restaurant.
The food is good. The sandwiches are great. And it's good enough for a work-time lunch…More »
This was the surprise of the month for me.
I had a tourist-in-your-own-town weekend when friends from Seattle came to visit. On their way out, I took them to Steveston to hopefully impress them, because I wasn't bound to be impressed by anything in…More »

Malones has upped their game over the years from being just another sports pub to one of the better beer sampling bars in the area.
There once was old Malones. It had a small beer selection and average food menu, but was the happening place on a…More »
Well you coulda fooled me!
I walked in and thought I was in a different city. This certainly looks like a pub that has been here for ages, even though it hasn't. It has the appearance of the old Rose and Thorn meets the old Irish Heather. Without the…More »

How can you go wrong when everything on the menu is $4.95. Burgers, wings, onion rings, salads, quesadillas, pasta. Yup, you guessed it: $4.95. I had a suspicion that they may be gouging a bit on drink prices, but even those are all reasonably…More »

Exaclty the place you need sometimes. When you want to get away from the loud, busy and pretentious. Quiet, classy and cosy, the Sylvia has been a solid place for late night drinks and conversation.
Beer, cocktails, wine, snacks and most importantly,…More »

The only thing better than having a beer at home or at a friend's, is having a great beer at a great price. And having enough of it to share with everyone.
I discovered West Coast U Brew many years ago through a friend who worked there. In those days,…More »
