Batch 44

One of the newer craft beer places in the Squamish area…read more Parking is available in the lot next to the building. It does get packed though. The venue has an indoor area as well as a large outdoor patio to the E of the building. The place is camping themed. Similar to Camp Brewing in Langley, but without the campsite. As of the time of writing, there are 7-8 beers available, all named after local lakes. Beers are a wee bit pricy compared to Vancouver, but maybe this is the Squamish premium. Special mention goes to the Brohm Lake pineapple ginger saison as well as the Lava Lake rose sour. On Saturdays they also have music bingo. Listen to a song and cross (dab) off a song. Off sales are too rich for my blood. $5 for a can as of the time of writing. Yikes. Overall a decent place to check out if one is in the area.

Ok beers, nice patio, not very welcoming. Stayed for one and left. There are better options in…read moretown

Persephone was so much more than we expected! We're so used to the little breweries in Vancouver…read morethat are just fun for some tasting flights but Persephone was a whole experience. You can definitely spend many hours on their large farm and not get bored. There's a fun little self-guided tour that takes you throughout the farm to learn how the beer is made and all the extra little things they have, like a chicken coop! There's a ton of different areas to sit in and an orchard and greenhouse and berry farm, and even a bookstore. There is just so much to take in. They also have a food truck on site and other little snacks available. Even some local ice cream :) And of course, there's a large beer selection, but also a lot of cider options. We really enjoyed the few that we tried in our tasting flight and got a lot of beer to take home. Turns out they also have a flat discount if you buy enough beer, which the staff were kind enough to inform us about. We definitely had a great time!

Extremely disappointing experience. The fries were completely dry and stale, and nobody even…read morebothered to clean the table before we sat down. Charging $25 for a burger with this kind of poor quality is completely unjustified and way too high. Definitely not worth it.

It had a firepit on the table but the heat didn't quite reach us and it was such a cold night. We still got to listen to the entertainment. It was like having our own private area, The only part that lost a star rating is making people go inside to order and pay for our order, like cafeteria style. There is only one person taking the orders and it took forever. However, a waitress will bring the food to your table display the large number on a stand, like you would receive in a cafeteria or mall. So weird. The food was MEH, however. The beer was very bitter, not to our liking at all. I just enjoyed the ambience of the place and the friendly staff, just not the way of how to order food.

We all enjoyed our meals. Visited back in August so it's been a couple of weeks. Our table shared the mushroom kalamari and it went fast! It was so good, crispy and balanced, we could have easily ordered a 2nd plate - it was that good! I wasn't too hungry and ordered the West coast chowder with a side of bread. Little did I know this was one of the best meals this summer. I took a photo and ate the rest! I need that recipe! My 2 kids had the pesto pasta and both thoroughly enjoyed it, no leftovers. Husband had the brisket plate. He also enjoyed his flight of seasonal beers. Highly recommended and anyone heading up island or back to Victoria, make.the.stop!

Obviously the name of the restaurant and chef had changed but the location was still the same. It was nostalgic for her to have fish and chips while looking out at the waters of Davis Bay. We decided to share the fish and chips and I quite liked it. The batter was crispy and the fish was fresh. The coleslaw had a curry taste? Not what I was used to. Service was great and it was a lovely afternoon with a great view. This is next to Coast hotel which is where I usually stay when in the Sunshine Coast.
