    Lots of beers on tap. Pretty solid beers. Good variety of styles. Can buy cans of beer there. Venue is fairly basic. This is a place to drink beer! Taco truck outside for food. I'm a really tough taco rater but the al pastor was soggy and bland. Al pastor is my favorite taco but if I come here again I am definitely not ordering al pastor again.

    Bomber Brewery has been on my list to try for awhile. Finally made it out! It's located close to Off The Rail Brewery. We dropped in on a Thursday afternoon (around 4:15pm) and just beat the rush. The inside is cozy with room to fit about 25 people (7 stools at the bar, another 5 along the wall and a dozen at the tables). There's also a small selection of standard board games to play. Happy hour (3:00pm to 6:00pm) gets you $1.00 off their 16oz sleeves. Only available on 5 flavours though. They had a small selection of food: pickled egg, pickles, signature chips, pretzel twists, cacciotorini and paninis. For beers, there was 11 options on tap. They actually ran out of their blood orange juicy IPA while we were there and took it off the board. Selection of merchandise was small but interesting. Never seen pucks ($5.00) before! The t-shirts were fun ($20.00). - Flight ($7.00 for 4) - we tried the parklife passionfruit ale (#6), prairie baard golden ale (#3), marzen amber lager (#8) and blood orange juicy IPA (#11). Winner hands down was the passionfruit ale; super refreshing and good passionfruit tones. Baard golden ale was a little bitter; wasn't our favourite but you would if you like IPA's. Amber lager had a coffee end note to it. We wanted more bold, blood orange flavour from the juicy IPA. Too subtle for us. - Parklife ($10.50 for 6) - really good so we grabbed the last six pack for home. Clearly, it's a favourite as it was the only flavour sold out! Will be back to try their signature chips.

    I hadn't been to Bomber for a few months, so I was surprised I walked in to a renovated space and a new branding for their beer. It's still bomber but with a new look. The beer was great. I especially like their passion fruit ipa, it's a very interesting blend that's not too fruity. Their regular passion fruit ale is also good, but I prefer that one in summer. I also had a chance to try their imperial stout, which is super strong and meant to be slowly sipped. Georgie's best ale is an easy drinking beer and the Choqlette nitro was my favorite on this visit. There are the regular beer that are always there, and the rotating taps which are always interesting. The bar staff is very friendly and informative. It's a great place to stop in for a flight, an after work beer or drinks with a few people.

    It's easy to find!

    The guys over at Powell Street Brewing Co. told us about Bomber and we're glad they did. You've got to love a beer community that, even amidst the hustle and bustle and competition of the big city, manages to support and recommend each other. Bomber was easy to find, with it's bright red signage, and there was plenty of free street parking nearby. Inside we enjoyed a couple of their very large 20-oz. pours and some salty nuts. The "beertenders" were super friendly, and the beer was really good. I had their winter ale and enjoyed it immensely. Bomber is a great addition to the ever-growing Vancouver brewery scene!

    This place has a fantastic selection of beers, there really is something for everybody! Super open and refreshing decor, and very friendly, helpful service. The only thing that would improve it is some food items on the menu, although there was a taco food truck right outside. Definitely would recommend for big groups!

    I've been to Bomber Brewing many times (and drank their bottles even more times), but never quite felt like I had a total sum experience of their offerings until now. I love their kitschy, old school branding and strikingly designed cans of beer. The Eastside brewery has a vibrant yet unassuming feeling and demeanour echoed in their beverages. I really like their reliable standards and interesting lineup of beers. The blonde is a very robust, easy drinking brew as is the ESB a solid British extra special bitter. The Märzen (amber lager) is a smooth tasting, full-bodied, Bavarian style lager with a nice maltiness to it and clean finish. The Absolute Horizon (Cascadian dark ale) is probably my favourite Bomber brew so far. It's a very satisfying blend full of rich texture and malt flavours. The Old Fat Heater (winter ale) is a strong, seasonal blend with a lot of bite. I tried the Espressso Helles for the novelty and really enjoyed the strong, striking coffee taste from the German style pale lager. The Cinder Ale is a nicely smoked altbier designed for the East Van patio. I had Dan's Famous Summer Bitter (obviously, over the summer) and found it was just as advertised, a clean, refreshing summer blonde in honour of the late Dan Small. The Oktoberfest (München style lager) is a light and festive tasting version of their Märzen, inspired by autumn weather with hints of pumpkin. Bomber has a great selection of standard and seasonal beers available for every style. Its tasting room is designed as a neat little sidebar full of character and charm.

    Too much branding and too little work on the beer = disappointment. I went with a bunch of people who were also highly anticipating the opening of this brewery and we each had the taster flight. I added the 5th taster for an extra $2 and wish I hadn't afterwards. The pilsner was undrinkable, the ESB was mediocre, the blonde was meh, the stout was forgettable, and only the IPA was bearable. The whole group left the pilsner behind and these are people who love beer and hate to see it go to waste. Not to mention the substandard service. Not only did they give us another table's order, they double charged me (and another friend of ours on a different day). Granted these may be growing pains but that is not really an excuse when you're running a business and there is stiff competition in the neighbourhood. Bomber bombed for me.

    Air for bikes at Bomber brewing, but the city is dragging their feet on bike rack installation. No racks as of Mar '14.

    A newer brewery & tasting room in town & with just $7 for 4x5oz flights, you can't go wrong with a visit. Pepperoni sticks are available to nosh on for $3 for a regular (more reasonable than the $4 at Brassneck Brewery). I like that they have beers that span a real spectrum of light & dark. Something for everyone, rather than just a variation on one theme.

Upon first impressions, this is a small boutique sized wine store (we are in South Granville after all) that tries. It's a split level, the entrance (higher) level is wine, lower level (exit) is beers. There is a little bit of everything grouped by countries. A few bottles of each brand, and looks like a good mix of mid-priced to higher priced bottles. Appreciated the fridges lined with white wine. I imagine it serves as a good last minute "grab and go." I had a few minutes to browse before I was asked if I needed help. They didn't have the bottle I was seeking but the guy spent at least 5 to 10 minutes going over some other wines he recommended, taking my budget into account and asking other questions (i.e. was I looking for a specific varietal, region, etc.) He mentioned I could bring the bottle back if we were unsatisfied with the wine but I didn't ask how that would work... I would feel sheepish to bring back an opened bottle of wine. In the end I took a bottle that was recommended, within my budget, and though I had never heard of this winery before, turned out to be a great hit at dinner. Thanks!

    I'm a fan since this place meets all 2 criteria I have: 1) close to the hotel (just a block away…read morefrom the Holiday Inn) and 2) has screw top wines! I don't travel with a wine opener, so being able to pick up a bottle that's a screw top is very convenient. This store was clean and well organized. The store is small but packs a lot of selection. There is a wine section in the back that offered bottle of reds between $10-$20. I wasn't looking for anything fancy, so the options were right up my alley. I went with a bottle of Cono Sur Bicicleta, a Cabernet Sauvignon (Wine of Chile 2012) for $14. It's medium-bodied, dry and fruity. You might find it cheaper at LCBO, but not by much. The label reads: A deep plum red with aromas of red fruit, cassis, black plums, and soft spices, together with a fruity, structured palate. Goes well with strong cheese, hearty stews and grilled cuts of beef.

They have a big bank of fridges with all the usual suspects ready for your enjoyment. The staff is friendly and they check you through quickly, even if there's a line up on Friday evening. However, it's not a great place to buy wine. The selection is all pretty cheap stuff - and not the cheap stuff that was chosen wisely because they're diamonds in the rough. Most of the wines here are cheap and taste like it. I'm a girl who's always shopping for a delicious bottle for under $15, so I've drank my share of cheap wines. I have my favourites and they aren't for sale here. The do accept bottle returns in the back. So if you live near here you can recycle up to 24 bottles in a visit.

After checking their system records, they told me it was out of stock. I asked if they could recommend something similar. The person working said he knew nothing about wines and would get someone to help me. Kind of a shocker but maybe he was new? After 5 minutes of waiting (with no one else in the store), someone finally walked up. I repeated my earlier statement and he picked up some $75 bottle of wine and told me it was similar. I asked him to tell me more about the wine and he pulled some app off his phone to tell me something about raspberries. I claimed I didn't think it was my friends taste and he started arguing with me about how the app is never wrong and that is exactly what the wine tastes like according to the app. I tried to explain I wasn't arguing about how the wine tastes, but instead saying I didn't think my friends would like it. While he was trying to find something else that might suit me, I saw some bottles of Hess on the shelf and grabbed one and got out of there as quickly as I could. Not only was the wine much more expensive than my local liquor store but going in there was a painful experience. I will never step foot in there again. Just an awful experience.

Look at the color of the beer; see picture. It was so good and refreshing! My only regret was not buying more. Ambiance - A decent size location in a very busy tourist area. Well this place was not busy and it seemed like there were only locals shopping?!?! Open 7 days a week from 9am to 11pm. Service - 5 stars, the cashier called someone from the back so he could help me find those perfect craft beers. He spent quite a few minutes with me going over the many selections. Then the locals and I hung out for a few more minutes discussing all the different types of beers they carried. Price - Convenience prices, see pictures. But it was worth it. And on this visit 1.40 CAD to $1 USD; a good exchange rate! Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success.
