One of my favorite spots in Vancouver for drinks. Sure, it's in a super sketchy area, with alleyways where you can imagine getting sexually assulted and fist fighting with a mob of hobos.. but hell, that's the moment when you have to ask yourself:…More »

Booze. No cover in Gastown. Live music by a randomly formed band. Board games. Big Jenga. Entertaining bathroom. Friendly bartenders. Yup, I'll be back.

I think this is my new go-to place for casual drinks. Why? Let me break it down in point form.
JUKEBOX. Something about being able to control the music in a public place has always been enticing to me. Sure, they don't have much of a selection but who…More »
Caution: This place is actually very narrow. So narrow that I was a victim of a beer spillage 3 or 4 times in a span of 2 hours. So narrow that I had to crab-walk all the way to the bathroom. Even more narrow that I had to re-evaluate: "Did I just…More »
How do you make me fall in love with you instantly? Greet me at the door by a cute guy with an even cuter Ozzie accent, then please infuse my nostrils with the smell of carinval food that transport me to my childhood days. Corn dogs... OMG. This tiny…More »
You know a place is doing well for itself when they are packed on a Monday night. I couldn't be bothered to even read the extensive drink menu so I let my company order the entire night. I was happy with all of them- happy enough to drop $90 on…More »
Serious selection of beers, comfortable atmosphere.. love coming here and don't see any reasons yet… Read more »
I've been here many times before but nothing about the place felt inspiring enough to review. They do have a good selection of beers and it is a nice place to come enjoy a cold one on a hot summer's day. The food here was never very memorable for me…More »

Pretty good place to stop by for drinks and small bites. Maybe I have a bias towards Gastown but I like this place more when I think about it than when I was actually there. Beer is reasonably priced and the food is quite cheap. Doesn't hurt that the…More »

So I've been here many times before but only for drinks and a few appetizers. The elite event here last year was awesome (read: MAKERS MARK flowing all night long! Absolute heaven) and I remember enjoying their food (esp.the flatbread).
Last night I…More »

So.... really? Is this the place everyone is raving about? Okay perhaps I ordered the wrong things off the menu... but still, their menu isn't very extensive and I expected everything on there to be at least somewhat delicious. We ordered the squid…More »

Okay.. I seriously think this is the only bar/pub in all of West Vancouver.. similar to what Black Bear Pub is for Lynn Valley. You would never even know this place existed even if you walked right past it. Though it's true that hole in the wall dive…More »

Mmm.. who else loves french fries? Steak cut fries.. you aiiiite. Yam fries.. you cool. Curly fries... you fun. But let's be real, shoestring is the best right? I thought so too until I discovered the Haystack Fries. These needle point cut frites,…More »

Why is it that everytime I come here I order food hoping it would be better.. but it never is. 100% of the time I've been majorly disappointed with their food, and no matter how many of their beers I chug down, it doesn't taste different. Also, I…More »
Where else can you get a glass of wine or a pint of beer for under $4? It's a tiny cozy place with a big TV.. definitely a good spot for that quick mid-day wine and appetizers.
