This isn't by any means, the greatest brew pub but it always does the trick if you're hungry and thirsty. I like their selection of micro brew beers and tasty dishes.

My go to is the steak frites. It's a really filling, good meal. Their garlic fries…More »

Steamworks is a good place for a drink with their wide range of beers and cocktails. It's a relaxing atmosphere and I love their deserts.

I was relieved to know that the group that night was a bunch of different people not familiar with each other. Introductions were made through out the night. It was a great night of beer, wine, scotch, and Irish bar food. I had an R&B Raven Cream Ale…More »

  Update - 6/14/2011

A year after our unsuccessful search for Pimm's, we returned to The Cascade Room to finally have some.

The actual Pimm's was tasty and refreshing. I kind of forget what all the hubbub about drinking it was, but it got us all together to drink it.

We…More »

Great place to - yes, chill - and hang out with a beer. I like how they offer a slightly larger serving than a pint for a dollar more.

It's a cool, casual, wide open, friendly place to sit back, relax, and have a drink. The Gastown location with a…More »

This place is beyond hidden. You'd only find it if someone told you about it. Basically, you have to find the door behind some building off Main Street.

It's a really small, quaint place that lives up to the name. It's narrow for sure. The taps are…More »

The Whip is a great little bar and restaurant. It has a quaint, charming feel. Their selection of beers is good with a chalice size for a little extra pop.

The food is a nice twist on bar food with fun, tasty treats, and meaty options. I like the…More »

Three of us popped into Salsa and Agave for a bite to eat. It did not start out well as the place was super packed and busy for such a small-sized restaurant. We waited for over half an hour to be seated. The staff were really nice and gave us each a…More »

My buddy Chris and I randomly decided to try the Italian cuisine at Martini's. It is a nice, small-sized Italian eatery in the Broadway area just before Main Street. We kicked back with a couple Raven Cream Ales.

I had the Chorizo Penne Sauté and was…More »
