I'm a raving fan! I remember how star struck I was when a movie called Saving Silverman was filmed at their old Cambie location. I liked their Cambie location but love their Kits one better. Parking is easier (especially with all of the Cambie…More »

A fond HELLO to a dear new friend:
I could sit for hours and drink your draft

Kicked off a pub crawl here last Friday night. Feeling a little peckish at the beginning of the night - we ordered some wings. (Caution - they aren't on the menu yet) Mumbai Wings with Slumdog Millionaire dip to be exact.

Hands down, still my favourite place for thoughtfully crafted and selected pints. An in between jaunt for friends in East Van, North Van and Van West, not to mention the magnificent list of beers - this is a suds lover dream!

Thinking I'd relive my previous good experience, a friend and I headed to the Pirate Pub for a drink and some dinner.
Our pitcher of Pimms was delightful, and it's still hard to argue with the position of this patio... it's magical on a hot summer…More »

Brunch at Barney's didn't disappoint! Just beating the lunch rush, I settled into a table (they're tightly packed) and very easily discerned what I wanted off of the menu- a Commando Benny.
Perfect choice! The hollandaise was spot on; finally a benny…More »

"So," she said adjusting her bra in the mirror, "do you want the good news or the bad news? Well, the good news is that so and so and what's her name are getting along well." Full spin in the mirror. "The bad news is that everyone keeps spilling…More »
Okay, so I might have sounded excited today when I posted that I was going to Foundation for dinner, but truth be told, I was skeptical. The last 2 meals I had here were ultimate failures.

Oh the Irish. Drink, drink...and then drink some more. All while listening to fantastic tunes. The dark corners, the pillows, the music, it all makes me feel like I'm somewhere else...Ireland perhaps? And with a pint or two or three in me (or a…More »

three and a half stars..It's an average type of bar, a little sticky with a covered patio and heaters - so it's open all year round. And to prove it, they've mounted the tables to the concrete.
If it weren't for the masses of screens to watch hockey…More »
If I lived in the neighborhood, or was heading to or from a movie, I could see Pivo being a good meet up spot. Big screen TVs scream "Watch sports on me," good looking staff, dark, comfy-ish furniture, it's reminds me of a smaller Milestones.

Oh, ye old stomping grounds. Growing up PoCoMo, there were few choices for proper pints and tasty pub food so it's no wonder why people flocked and still flock to the Well.

This was my first time to the Whip. I loved the atmosphere. At first, I was a little worried that it was so quiet at 9 on a Saturday night. By 10 it was slammed! It got loud--but not so loud that we had to scream at each other. (My pet peeve is…More »

Such a great location. Capturing as much of the Vancouver sun as humanly possible, I settled in with gal pals on the patio for an afternoon of chit chat.

Good place for comfort food.
It was late-ish night time and it was quiet inside. I like the decor, the juke box and, most of all, the french fries.
I had a grilled veggie (zucchini + eggplant) and cheese open face sandwich on foccacia. The veggies…More »
