    You know that local place you wanted to find on the drive to Whistler? This is that place. Nice interior with lots of seating options, on the east side of the highway and Squamish. Good pub food, drinks and friendly vibe.

    Used Yelp to find this cute bar on our way to Whistler. Three vegan options! Mac n cheese, jackfruit tacos, and a kale caesar. We got the first two. Solid dishes. Good beer selection with take home options too. Seating is open and cafeteria style. There is a fireplace and tons of games.

    Love it! We chose this place because we wanted to try something new. So happy with our decision. All of us loved it. We hadn't been here since they opened and were pleasantly surprised at how the interior had been renovated. It looks great in there modern feel well still keeping a classic pub vibe. Immediately upon entrance they have some nice signage to let you know if their Covid procedures. When you brought to the table they hand you a little sheet with all the protocols that they ask you to follow and they're really simple straightforward leave no room for questions and kind of make you feel safe. They have clearly thought about this seriously and it shows. The menu is not huge here. Normally, I get a little freaked out by such a small menu but although they don't have a lot of things everything they have on it is clearly thought out and appetizing. I think they follow the old adage about doing a few things extraordinarily well rather than a bunch of things so so. We started off with an order of the cauliflower wings for the table. They were so good we had another order of the cauliflower wings for the table which is some thing we absolutely never do. I like that they use small pieces of cauliflower so they weren't gigantic and overwhelming they were nice and crispy super delicious. I ordered the pork tacos and cannot explain in words how delicious they were. I was sceptical because there's a few ingredients that I'm not a huge fan of but I might need to reconsider what I'm a fan of because these tacos were out of this world. I'm not even a huge taco fan and these were amazing.So many flavours yet they were still simple. My husband ordered the fish tacos and was blown away as well. He was a little sceptical at first because he prefers his fish tacos with non-battered fish but he said this may have helped change his mind from that. Full disclosure I am allergic to seafood both fish and shellfish so I could not try them. I believe that they were as good as he said they were they looked absolutely beautiful on the plate and his smile pretty much said it all. Our daughter join us for dinner and is a vegan. They did have a few options here but she decided to stay with the theme of the night and try the jackfruit tacos. She was a little sceptical because she's only been a vegan for a few months and have never tried or knew what jackfruit was but she tried them and said they were amazing and now she's going to try and find some more jackfruit recipes of her own. So thank you backyard for inspiring her. They had an awesome features menu as well that had a lot of mushroom stuff on it and I will be back to try some of those items. I don't like to eat a lot of meat and I love that this place has a lot of great vegetarian options. Without a doubt 100% will absolutely be back.

    A well-needed neighbourhood pub that has a decent selection of pub grub and beer. Burger Tuesdays offer a tasty Nashville chicken.

    Best Moscow Mule in town. Jackie runs a clean operation with good food and beer options.

    A few minutes later and we were enjoying a Whistler Brewing lager, a bourbon lemonade and some really good poutine and street tacos.

    We got here after 8+ pm for a late dinner after off-roading in the Squamish valley. The place was…read morebig and luckily it was not full house as it was a weeknight. There were many tvs and a big screen projector showing the hockey game. Then I noticed Canucks jerseys hanging from the rafter and on the walls. Ok, so sports was big here. It was not rowdy though. We sat away from the main dining hall and got a corner table near the entrance. Service was ok, took a while for the requested extra napkins to come. Our server forgot about it. Guessed it was busier in the main hall which was on a spilt level up. Food wise, it was decent food in a neighborhood pub. Not a huge selection but it had the typical food here so everyone should be able to get something they like. The calamari was surprisingly good. Tender lightly battered squid, not rubbery at all. The whiskey bbq ribs with fries and slaw were good too. The wild BC salmon burger with clam chowder was so-so. I wished the salmon was a bit less over cooked. Salmon was lightly charred outside and unfortunately the inside was a bit hard. At least not too dry. I would prefer the salmon to just have a light crisp with the inside being 70-80% cooked. The miso glaze was nice though. The clam chowder as the side was bad as it did not taste like it at all. It was more of a cream of vegetables soup with some bits of clams in it. That was a disappointment. Fries or salad for the side in future. I also had the Moscow mule. It had real ginger bits in it. I didn't care for that as you kept getting them in every sip and they were real gingery spicy. Not a place I would make a special trip for, but a decent place for a meal when passing by. They open till 12 midnight or 1 am. Nice sized parking lot in front and back of the building.

    Great service and good bar food. Loved the patio with panoramic mountain views…read more Wings were good but not great. I'd say everything I saw looked good for bar food though!

    We decided to stay in Squamish after a day in Whistler. Looked around online for some dinner ideas…read moreand settled on the Salted Vine. Our AirBnB hosts listed it as the only 5-star restaurant in town so we made a last minute reservation, which they graciously accommodated. What a great choice! First impressions don't convey 5-star, but once we settled in, the cozy and casual ambience was perfect. They have an extensive cocktail and wine list and we dove into the cocktail section. Really smart and interesting selection - would've loved to try more than two. We had a featured appetizer - an heirloom tomato salad with goats cheese and gazpacho dressing. Fresh, well presented and delicious. We also ordered the bread with lemon butter and olive oil. The multigrain bread was fantastic! For mains, I had the kobe beef and my partner had the meatballs with a side of roasted carrots. The beef melted in my mouth and the chimichurri sauce was possibly the best I've had. The meatballs and carrots had a decidedly north african flavour profile and were beautiful and balanced. Their menu is fantastic - if we lived nearby we would return to try almost everything. So glad we didn't stay to eat dinner in way-too-touristy Whistler or we would've missed out on this gem.

    Delicious food, but the service was so slow! We had to wait almost 2 hours for our meal. We were…read moreso hungry that we couldn't even focus on conversation and enjoy the meal. The restaurant was less than half full at the time, so it wasn't that they were overly busy. Very disappointing.

    The cold, not so flavorful meatballs with even colder ragu sauce. Great veggies though.
