Noah WeissMarch 22, 2016Insanely good draft beer list. Get a beer sampler to try any 4. Tasty upscale bar food too.

Jackie AboumradMarch 22, 2015The beer variety is pretty nice. We came for brunch on a Sunday and it was very calm. Staff is friendly and helpful. Ask for the sampler, you can get 4 beers of your choice in small sizes.UpvoteDownvote
Order a craft beer flight. If you can’t decide on just four beers, ask the bartender for help.Upvote2Downvote
Nerijus PudziuvelisOctober 24, 2018Large(st) variety of craft beers on tap. Best way to spend evening if you like beer, of course!

Joe NixonJuly 24, 2016Lots of great beer and quite a few vegetarian food options. Busy, but we didn't have to wait too long for a table even as a group.

Greg SchechterAugust 20, 2014Favorite bar in Vancouver. Love that they do 6 oz samplers. Food great, the staff is great, and the beer is great. What else do you need.UpvoteDownvote
SugiMay 21, 2017Amazing selection of beer and knowledgeable bar team. Try the Beer Flights to have a good taster of some new and craft beers.UpvoteDownvote
Adam NowekAugust 19, 2016The tap selection here is beyond great (though, as with all of Vancouver, you'd think that no other country in the world made beer).Upvote1Downvote

Chris CamargoFebruary 15, 2015If the Moon vs. Spinnarker "White" Stout is on tap, TRY IT! It's like a beer version of chocolate milk. Mmm... Beer....

David DruckerJuly 1, 2011With so many indie beers available, it's the place to go if you'd like something other than Molsons. Actually, if you say that word, I suspect they will quietly and firmly escort you to the door. Read moreUpvote5Downvote
25 taps and 3 casks on a rotating list. Amazing beer selection, cool ambiance, and lots of room for larger groups. A gem in the city, for sure.Upvote4Downvote
Gary MorrillMarch 29, 2019Beer selection is outstanding! The staff is very knowledgeable and nice! The food looks good too!UpvoteDownvote
An amazing craft beer selection! Note, this place is EXTREMELY popular. Wise to hit during off-peak hours (like not right after work) but they will take your cell number and call when a table is freeUpvoteDownvote
cherieSeptember 8, 2013The beets, quinoa, and goat cheese salad and sweet chili chicken wings were super tasty - and portions were bigger than expected.UpvoteDownvote
Super neat space. Tons of books and cranniesUpvote1Downvote
ChrisApril 8, 2018Great place, great people but the Storm Brewing's Flanders Red Imperial Sour is terrible. Tastes like burnt caramel

Alex DobyanDecember 17, 2017Truly phenomenal selection of brews. Grab a frat bat and sample to your heart's content.UpvoteDownvote
