It was quite busy when we arrived on Sunday mid afternoon Upon arrival no one was really monitoring or greeting people so we stood around for five minutes unsure of what we were supposed to be doing. We stood around and eventually figured we should just take any free spot we could find for two. We got the cruisey juice double dry hop IPA, fresh hop IPA, the chocolate Stout and the sour (not the berry one on tap). All were good but cruisey juice our favorite. I was pretty shocked regarding their prices though! Two beers came out to be over $20 without tip, otherwise good vibes and good tunes. Cool crowd.

Latest craft beer place in the North Shore brewery district. Looks like this place has been around…read moresince December 2019. Totally flew under my radar. Free parking is available in front of the building. The place is quite spacious. Looks like it was once a car repair shop (just like Streetcar). Actually according to the internets it used to be a carpentry shop. Single large area with bay door that can be opened to let air in. Cute little old school fireplace on the side. Wonder if it's functional. Tables are fine but the chairs are the rather uncomfortable stainless steel interrogation room type. Fortunately there are also some cushions lying around. My butt thanked me. Staff are friendly. As of the time of writing there are 10 brews (9 beers and 1 3rd party cider) available. The beers here are actually quite good. Reminds me of Wildeye. Plenty of ales but they also have sours and stouts. Nice mix. Only real comment I have is that the Life Of Riley Hazy IPA didn't seem too hazy at all. Maybe they should change the name. Will be back in the future.

A pint of…read moretheir delicious kolsch was the perfect antidote to a sticky summer afternoon spent doing all the things in the city. My date and I enjoyed our beers on their small outdoor patio, and it was the perfect place for a few cool sips before heading back into the city for some dinner. One thing I really like about their beers is just how cold they are! My kolsch seemed a few degrees cooler than your average pour, which made it taste just that much better. I look forward to heading back to Bridge next time we're in North Van.

I admit I did not keep track of the beers I drank because we were on a brewery adventure. I do know these were good and worth your time. Shakedown is located in a part of North Vancouver that has more than a handful of breweries. I recommend that you take the Sea Bus over if you are located in regular Vancouver then walk around and try them out. You could probably get a ride share pretty easily too.

Parking is available in front, though spaces are limited. The theme almost reminds me of a high school in an imaginary town. Pretty creative stuff. Staff were friendly and helpful. Beer here is pretty freaking expensive. As of the time of writing, flights are $14, and growler fills are $17. Yikes. Something to keep in mind. They have 5 core beers, 3 seasonal, and 1 cider. Beers are pretty decent. Not sure what I drank (I had both seasonals), but my buddies and I were satisfied overall. I hope this place survives. The venue is nice, but the pricing is a real showstopper.

We also tried tacos and burritos and they were so good! The Tacos tasted like authentic street tacos from Mexico- highly recommended trying them! The guacamole 100/10!!!

The cold brew coffee beer was hands down my favorite so I hope they carry it all year round as it's not just a spring/summer beer IMO. The chicken tacos were quite good too - lots of flavour. They had a couple of seats outside where you can keep your dog, but the place is quite small and does get busy on evenings and weekends. This is my new favorite brewery in North Van.

Not helpful with suggesting menu items, frequently just left us alone, and was overall unfriendly. At some point in the night he must've got off his shift because we never saw him again. Our second server was very kind and friendly and we met one of the brewers that night who was very welcoming! So maybe our first server was a bad egg. Cocktails were okay - the gin drink was super strong but a simple vodka ginger beer was nice. Cider was okay too. Most lackluster thing though was the food. The onion dip was so strong and left a horrible taste in your mouth all night. Nachos were okay but mostly dry. Maybe this was just a poor NYE experience - at least the band killed it!
