Food and drinks were good but service was terrible. Won't be coming back here again. My friend and I came here on a Tuesday night. We chose a seat outside. The area had heaters and the seats were comfortable with cushions on them, though the heaters didn't do their job nearly well enough as I put my jacket back on and it was still pretty cold. Our drinks took a little bit to arrive (it was getting to the point where we were looking around wondering when we would get our drinks...), at which point we were informed that they were serving a large party inside and that our food would take longer than usual. Not a problem. We weren't in a huge rush. After our food arrived though (I ordered steak), the waiter asked if we wanted anything else. I said I wanted ketchup and pepper and he left to go get it for me. NO SHOW FOR 10 MINUTES. I had to ask for my condiments TWO MORE TIMES before I got it and by then my steak, which would have otherwise been delicious, was cold. I can be understanding of having a large party to cater to but it doesn't give an excuse to be ABSOLUTELY IGNORED. Very unhappy with the service - there are other places that serve the same fare for the same prices. I would choose another option next time. read more

I've been here a few times with a large group for lunch. On the most recent visit, I had a pulled pork sandwich. The sandwich was decent and I enjoyed it. There was quite a bit of coleslaw and I had to remove some of it in order to eat the burger. The food came out a bit slower than I would expect possibly due to the large group. In all, Earl's Yaletown is okay. read more

For a chain I consider Earl's to be one of the best for food -- nice variety on the menu and they do everything pretty well (even the more adventurous dishes). Their burger is far inferior to Cactus' but everything else is good. The servers seem to be hired based on ass rather than ability to serve. They will frequently forget you're there for long periods of time. Last time I was there my server left me sitting for over 10 minutes after I asked for the bill. If you're there to stare at asses, this is probably a fair trade, but I have things to do. read more

Honestly such a great experience and all to thank was our great server Dora and the rest of the team. Big shout out to Karn who made our time so special. Will be back! read more

Love the open patio here! Overlooking the streets of Yaletown, this is a great place to hang out. Their menu is the same as the other Earls locations, but prices are a little higher due to what I call the "Yaletown Surcharge Fee." Service is always good here, but their patio closes at 11pm so you would have to move inside afterward. Visit the V-Lounge on the second floor. I like this lounge because it plays good music but not at a overbearing volume. They still have the same food menu as the Earls, but their drink menu is different, and they have their own 'V cocktails.' Nice open space with a large bar and lots of seating. Sleek, modern styling. There's also a live DJ from Wednesday to Saturday. Drink specials every night of the week, and they're good drinks too! A great place to hangout! read more

Living in Yaletown I am out for happy hour almost every night of the week. Of ALL the happy hours in the entire area the best, bar none, is that at Earls. There is simply no better value for your money anywhere in the city. In addition, Sean is one of the best bartender/server I have ever encountered anywhere.After only one visit Sean remembered two weeks later exactly what both my friend and I were drinking and what we had to eat. He is charming, well spoken, polite and delightful. His service is nothing less than impeccable. I will never stop coming to Earls as long as he is working the bar and indeed, will not go to the restaurant unless he is serving! I guarantee a wonderful experience if you sit at the bar and have Sean serve you!!! read more

Great food and Sean at the bar is the best. Gave fantastic recommendations on food, is attentive and great pesonality. read more

Absolutely garbage customer service. I asked to be seated at the bar, the hostess said "ya I think there is an open spot. A lady has her bag there so just ask her to move it." *puts head back into ipad* ??? Is that not what the hostess is getting paid to do? I then approach the woman and it turns out the seat is taken. I then had to tell the hostess, "it's taken"... keeping in mind she is standing one foot away. She said "I think there might be another one, you can check this one" *face back into ipad* at which point I left because I didn't come here to scramble my way through the restaurant and bother people enjoying their drinks. read more

Very knowledgeable staff. Gluten educated and very accommodating. Our waitress, Megan L, was around to see us multiple times. I felt like she kept it prompt. They also have, what I would call, a large section of vegan dishes. Ambiance is speak easy chill or some would call classy casual with a splash of up beat. It's my favorite on the Yale strip. And I just noticed they have cocktail pitchers read more

I ordered at the same time as my group and my salad took 3 times as long to arrive. So either a) the wings the other grouplings ordered were not-so-fresh, b) they forgot about my salad entirely, or c) the arugula was being harvested and the goat was being milked for the goat cheese coulis as I waited. When in doubt, pick C (thanks for the laughs, Crystal). The salad was tasty. Not worth the $8 for such a small portion. Though the salad took a long time, the bill came in under a minute when requested. Fancy that. The atmosphere is very nice, especially the upstairs. Very classy and nice bathrooms. Definitely a sexy decor. The food was decent. Service was friendly but slow. The waitress said the kitchen was busy but the restaurant was empty. I could see myself going there again to try the other items and have some drinks though I don't see myself rushing back. read more

We used to come to Earls a lot!!! We loved the drinks, food and the people! But after being embarrassed by staff, we never came back!!!! Wouldn't recommend! The manager even said that I had my hand inappropriately on my boyfriend and to remove my jacket off of my lap!!!!! HOW RUDE! Would NOT come back!! read more

Ok a bit biased b/c there was free food, and quality too; we ain't talking about free food at the PNE, eh... Amazon threw an open house for hiring some engineers,etc. so I was there to accompany a few friends who were looking, at least I drove them there lol and was able to sample: burger sliders: good smoked salmon w/ dill cream cheese on cracker: good Included a free drink tic but careful not to abuse it, just used for OJ. Held upstairs in the V Lounge, easy 100 ppl there. Lots of quality eye candy, boys. read more

Earls is a pretty standard chain restaurant in Canada, with a good happy hour but what inclined me to leave the review was the really nice bartender we met. I regret that I've forgotten his name because he was so good at his job! The bar was full as it was happy hour and we took the last couple spots, but this guy kept the drinks coming, kept checking on us, was able to connect and have conversations with multiple parties at the bar and even gave us some wings on the house after talking with him for a while. Was a breath of fresh air with all the so-so experiences i've had with service and waitstaff! read more

Honestly we have had bad service almost everytime we have come to this place however the other day one server named Dana was so amazing! She was super honest and personable. She always checked in on us and made sure we had everything we needed. We had some complicated requests and she had no problem dealing with our orders. Makes me want to come back to this location again. Great job! Food also was amazing so thank you kitchen! Jade read more

Pretty disappointed tonight. I usually wait to grab a table but today I decided to sit at the bar. Took awhile to be acknowledged by the bartender... maybe just a little over acceptable wait times, but not too drastic. Wasn't offered a food or drink menu when I sat down -- instead grabbed drink and happy hour menu from guests who left... came with the intention of getting a multiple course meal. Ended up having an obnoxious person sit two seats over from me. During my stay there several people left the bar because of his obnoxious chitchat. I ended up ordering a steak off of the happy hour menu and deciding not to do extra courses just on account of being around this dude. When he went out to smoke the guy sitting next to me said that the obnoxious person was a regular, and sometimes would leave without paying his bill. He returned and started being obnoxious again. I finished my food and wine and left money on the bar without asking for a bill because I simply did not want to wait around with this loser destroying my brain cells -- he was bothering a young man and woman on a date, cracking jokes which were irritating and rude. While I was there he kept cracking jokes about me working out and drinking wine, and as I got up to leave he commented that he was gonna get beat up. First of all I hope the amount I left was sufficient and tip appropriate. If management reads this and knows who I'm talking about please ban that guy. He's bad for business, and several people left or were visibly offended by him. I don't think I'll be returning during the evenings, since this guy is a regular. read more

It was New Year's Eve and it seemed like every restaurant in Yaletown was closing for private functions, so we tried Earls. The place looked full but they made room for us at a nice big booth. We arrived in time for 3-6pm Happy Hour so we ordered a bunch of table appies. We shared a medley of dishes including the famous $3.50 Margherita Pizza; the Spinach Cheese Dip with roasted garlic and artichokes served warm with toasted flatbread; the Blackened Swordfish Tacos with melted white cheddar, roasted jalapeño crema, and pico de gallo; and Garlic Fries with creamy grana padano parmesan dip. I also tried the (sorta new) Veggie Burger - after disappearing from their menu it's made a welcome return - served with guacamole, crispy tortilla strips and aged cheddar on a warm brioche bun. Mmmm I love a brioche bun and this burger was very good. Everything was tasty. This is a good Earls compared to some I've visited. Overall it was a positive experience and we were all happy. Service, ambience and food were all great. The Happy Hour is a good deal. read more

Great location: patio outside, no car noise. You might have to wait for a while to get a table outside, but I think their perfect Old Fashioned at the bar or a lounge area will smooth out your wait and make you even more hungry so you can enjoy your food even more than you participated. Honestly, I am not a huge fan of old fashioned ones, by since today I AM the one. Veeeery good. Santa Fe chicken salad is always my favourite, unless the chicken is little overbooked, what was the case today. But it was over powered by gluten free feast Italian pizza that was OUT OF THE OTHER WOLRD. It was JUST perfect: crusty-little-bit-chewy dough, perfectly spicy, juicy, flavourful,....! Made my day even better than it was. The service was a bit slow, could have been more attentive. But overall, seating on a patio and enjoying ecstatic Old Fashioned, can't really complaint. Just enjoy life ;) read more

We are four young working professionals in the Yaletown area who have been regulars at Earls for the past 3 years and we wanted to make a special point to say that we keep coming back to Earls because of our favourite server Taylor Smith. She is the friendliest, most accommodating and cheerful server we have ever had and she has made our experience so enjoyable. The food and drinks are always fantastic so it is great to see that Taylor always goes above and beyond to make each visit better than the last!!! Thanks Earls team!

Three of us had a pleasurable experience at Earle's. We came after 5 PM & missed out on their terrific Happy Hour menu but having looked at it, there's an amazing variety of 22 items to choose from including calamari, tacos, pizza, chicken dish, burgers, salads, etc with significant savings & not to mention reduced drinks We loved their outdoor patio with individual booths isolated from one another by planters & a frosted plastic shield giving both privacy & safety in these Covid ridden days. We did not see this in other restaurants we frequent. Christy, our waitress was very patient with us while explaining the menu. Her suggestions were brilliant. We really loved the Quinoa Avocado Power Bowl & Field Green Salad. Both portions were generous and can be shared by 2. The Cajun chicken dish was delicious but be warned, it is quite spicy. The 2 breasts were cooked perfectly & tantalized my taste buds along with the mashed potato dish. Finishing off with a delicious cheesecake topped with blueberries & raspberry sauce, it bore a similar taste to the much loved US chain Cheesecake Factory Tom, the on duty manager was going to various tables came by & asked how we enjoyed the meal. We thought it to be a very nice gesture in making us feel welcome & appreciated as customers. We told him how much we enjoyed the food & sitting arrangements. We'll definitely go back again & again read more

Earls is the best place for some cheap but good happy hour food and drinks! It's a go-to place for me and my girls. My personal favourite is the Hawaiian coconut prawns - SO GOOD! Today my friend and I went to the Mainland St location because the patio there is absolutely beautiful! read more

I am usually skeptical about the service at these "corporate" chain establishments, however, my first experience at Earls was nothing short of fantastic. A special mention to my server who was very easy to interact with and made me feel like I had been coming in for years. I will for sure be coming back and sincerely hope that Hannah's excellence can be matched! read more

Honestly, we have come to dine the 2nd night after the re-opening of Covid-19. We arrived and were treated so incredibly by Taylor at the guest check-in. He went absolutely above and beyond to address our needs, every precaution and detail taken care of to the highest degree. Truly thankful for his hospitality and grateful for the incredible food and service. Thank you, thank you. read more

The worst service of my life, which just kept getting worse. This is what happens when you have take a kindergardner to work day and let them run the evening happy-hour shift. Ate here the month before with my husband and grown son and girlfriend, and even though chaos with the drink orders and forgetting one of the appetizers, the evening manager, Jove, tried hard. But the food was good, the location cute, and so I returned with my girlfriend. 2nd time: 9:30p and had a reservation. Led to a small table in the back left corner, so we asked for one of the three empty booths, along the wall, which was met with a "hmmm" and a caucus with the other hostesses." The booth section was populated and open--another customer saw our plight, after he observed our bad service, and said it had to do with the restaurant's perception of how much a drinker you are--e.g. how much income will you be generating determines seating. Hmmm. Seated in a booth and waited 15 minutes for menus. Finally, a late 20s woman comes over, appetizingly touching her hair, a lot, chewing gum or maybe not, with a surprised "oh, you want to eat"? Uh, yes, a menu might be nice. "Oh, okay, what about drinks?" I don't know, we're yet to see any sort of menu. She drops off a menu and doesn't approach us for another 15-17 minues, even though she's a few feet away from us, like a bee pollinating two other flowers, which happen to be two tables of 30-something year old men boisterous and drinking. She's reiterating their extensive drink order. As well, she's giggling and talking in a high-pitched uptalk like she's at one of those speed-dating mixers. Finally, she takes our order, and, like last time, the food is good--the lobster tostadas are yummy, and the Field Greens salad is tasty. We end up giving our drink order to someone else because our waitress is, once again, pollinating the exclusively testerone-filled tables and walking by our table, three, four times without stopping, despite our saying "maam, miss, excuse me, hello, fire?". Still hungry, after splitting the tostadas and salad, and wanting to split the Margherita pizza, but, again, no waitress, so we order from a smart efficient young woman who walks by, who is on her break but will help us anyway. She shakes her head, watching the speed-dating theatre unfold, and says "it's her first day back." She's had time off to perfect her flirting and ignoring the "you're not going to order enough alcohol to matter customers or date me" skills, so she should have plenty of energy to acknowledge us and take our order. Our waitress actually brings us our pizza and then sets out to find us a second plate, when we ask her to, and even returns with a small plate. When we're done with the pizza, someone has obviously talked to her, she says, like we've newly sat down, "what can I get you? Will you be wanting food?" No words. The waitress livens up a bit when we order the "Sticky Toffee Chocolate Pudding," but she can't explain what a "candy snap" is--turns out it's the sugary bowl in which the dense, unmemorable, and unnecessary chocolate cake and DELICIOUS ice cream and good caramel and toffee sauces come in. She also can't tell us whose ice cream it is--a local place or if the restaurant makes its own. And doesn't offer to find out. Bad to worse: She disappears and leaves us with the now-empty dessert plates for twenty minutes, and after I get up and approach one of the many socializing (with each other) hostesses (a bleached blonde) for the check, nothing happens, despite promising she would get us the check. Maybe, it's opposite day?? No check for fifteen minutes, so I get up, again, and demand the check. The darker-haired hostess takes me seriously and has the check delivered by a young woman who says she's the manager, who has taken the dessert off the bill and expresses about the most insincere and distracted apology, ever, for the service. I did learn that she's a dancer, however. Good, because you suck at managing, hoping your Barchata skills are better. Takes off the dessert, but takes nary a plate off the table. I ask who the restaurant manager is, the name of the manager, and a fair amount of time passes before she can figure out that I mean a grown-up, the person she reports to. WHAT THE HECK, EARLS? I have eaten at your other locations, and the Yaletown location, a month ago, and never have I had such unapologetic and persistently bad service. Absent, indifferent waitress, hostess that can't offer up an available booth without contemplating the move like it's a legal contract she's signing, idle, chatting hostesses that can't be bothered to bring the check, and a self-proclaimed manager, who is either posing as a manager or lacks all skills and awareness. Your staff reflects upper management. No bueno. AND WHERE THE HECK IS YOUR ICE CREAM FROM?!!! I'll bypass your restaurant, next time, and just head there. read more

This was a pretty sweet spot to grab late night drinks! It was a fun, young crowd, with good music. They have Stella beer on draft...my favorite...along with others. They also have a full bar.

The one thing that really drew me into Earls versus other establishments along the old warehouse alleys of now gentrified Yaletown, was the vastness of its seating. Went with 4 friends from the UK and were escorted to our seats by 3 Canadian beauties. Nadine (be still my heart) our hostess (with a Northern Territory goddess's physique) proved herself attentive, deliciously flirtatious, and empathetic to our seemingly never-ending orders of rum and coke high-balls. The decor reminds me of an updated version of a hip retro-70s Vegas casino. Along the walls and underneath bar area, there are smooth brass tiles, that one can't help but touch, gliding fingers along its smooth golden surface. Which I did, and don't regret having done it. Next time I'm in Vancouver, I'll be back for more high-balls and touchy-feely antics. And maybe tequila body shots off of 6 star tattooed, Nadine. read more

Earls is the basic-bitch of dining experiences. If a bar could wear Ugg boots and do raspberry vodka shots out of a Starbucks cup while listening to Ed Sheeran, it would be this place. And like a basic bitch you shouldn't bother spending money on her when you want to go out. That's what Wednesday's are for in this place; you can molest a pound of wings for $6 and 750ml of bottled horse piss masking as wine for just $15. The wings are pretty good, and as for the wine, you get a free instantaneous hangover with each order. The servers are attractive, but ruin everything by talking about how much they hate their job - even though Earls was recently awarded one of Canada's top employers by someone who clearly didn't ask the people who worked at this particular location. Two separate servers did this to us. One even talked about how she was banging a guy named Eric. Eric is now my hero. Some might say, "Whoa, TMI" but I was like, "go on... please tell us more, this isn't weird at all" as I slugged more of the herbivorous quadruped's waste matter, worsening my headache. When servers confessional was over, we went back to our wings and wine wondering who the fuck Eric was. Update: 2016-05-18: Erik "with a 'k'" read more

Earls has pretty much become the landmark place in YT for decent food and a good time. I spent the first night of the Olympics here; I watched our winning Olympic hockey game here (still can't believe I got in) and I've been here many times before, afterwards, and in between. In the spring it's also a great place to begin your first foray into comfortable outdoor dining. I've been here so many times that I've quit going out of boredom, in fact. What I recently learned is that the V lounge is a great place to hold a company party. If you spend enough dough you get pizza, calamari, noodles, sliders, veggies, and surprisingly delectable desserts. Caramel creme brulee in a spoon was probably the best that I'd ever tasted, in fact. My only complaint is that I didn't know tables were actually set up with warm food, as I missed most of it but had to wait until the waitresses came to me. But still, I did not go hungry! The cool cat spins mostly 80s-90s music and the bulk of it was actually great for dancing. In spite of the large group, the bathrooms were kept impeccably clean and were always almost surprising empty. Festive reindeer rested on the counters which really made it even more welcoming. The waitstaff and bartenders were kind and friendly. The wine was of a decent quality. I would certainly book a party here again; in fact, it might just have been the best I've attended, and that's not even including the guests. Who knew? It might be too late for this year, but it's something to think about for the next big event! read more

Utterly useless. I try to stay positive in my reviews but this was so so disappointing yesterday evening. I've spent many happy evenings in an Earl's restaurant, doing cheap wings, margaritas or simple meal. It looks like Earls has tried to follow the trend of Cactus Club and Joey's and attempted to go upscale. The interior design hints at this and the menu prices reflect it. It took a really long time to get a table with no one in line before us. It would have been nice to get a cozy table with my five friends to chat and have a laugh but the hostess gave us this huge table instead. Then we sat there forever until drink orders were taken and again, a huge gap until our food orders were taken. The menu was puzzling to me...I didn't trust the kitchen to produce a salad or sandwich worth $15 nor was this an occasion for a $20+ entree. I decided to enjoy my drink and eat an appetizer, despite being hungry enough for a meal. For the prices they are demanding, I'd sooner spend that kind of money in a small establishment that works hard to produce good food or hop across the street to Yaletown Brewpub for a funner vibe. read more

This past Sunday my whole day was turned around by one person. I was having a terrible day and SOLINE made my day! She was an absolute angel, very kind, very sweet, literally one of the most memorable experiences!

I didn't eat at Earl's kitchen but I drank at Earl's bar and it was a nice experience. First of all, when we were in Vancouver we walked around to a few of the different neighborhoods and I really liked Yaletown. It was close to our hotel, so I could stumble back, and there were cool bars and restaurants. We walked by Earl's and just decided to stop in because it looked pretty cool. We sat at the bar and I ordered this cute drink that was served in a glass shaped into a bear. It was the most adorable cocktail I've ever seen! It was a little too sweet because of the honey and nothing else on the drink menu appealed to me so I ordered a dirty martini. The service was awesome. Some douchebag at the bar got out of hand and the bartenders quickly made him pay his tab and get out. I just love how Canadians are so chill. The bartender was like, "Hey, you're really drunk. Pay your tab and leave. You can't disturb the other patrons." In SoCal that conversation would have been, "GTFOH before I punch you in the face." Then the bartenders bought us shots for being hassled by this f-boy. How nice! The only reason I'm taking a star away is because I don't think the bathrooms had been checked on in a while and things weren't great there. read more

I grew up in Calgary going to Earls and I'm happy to see that the restaurant has grown up with me...ok, I may be slightly less mature still. I went to the Earls off mainland street in Yaletown - apparently the yuppie neighborhood of town. I thoroughly enjoyed myself, so maybe I'm a yuppie - I'm ok with that I think. don't hate. anyways - I went on a friday night, went upstairs to the V Lounge, not knowing what to expect. what I got was spectacular ....lounge-like seating (leather, low tables), low-lighting (solid for date night), and fantastic club music - which was at just the right volume so you're not screaming into your companion's ear. food / drinks came quickly even with a packed house - overall a very solid experience (reasonably priced as well) - we have 5 or 6 drinks, an appy, and some dessert and ended up at $40 somehow...amazing. This might have to be on my short-list for yaletown hangouts... read more

'Do you think I'm pretty enough to work here?' Oh you know I musta been at Earl's, where the only thing people talk about is how good looking the female servers* are. But damn! $4.60 for a bellini on Tuesday nights? Forget working here, I want to pull up a bar stool and get weekday drunk! Huge screen TVs, two floors and a classy setting, we deemed it better than next door Yaletown Brewing. But the downside is less hottie bartenders. Earls is for the boys, Yaletown for the girls (eye-candy wise). The prawn dragon roll was good too, not great, but spicy good. *Our waitress wasn't that good looking, but she was definitely younger than me. read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. We visited this location last weekend for a Saturday brunch with a gift certificate to burn. We got a bad impression right from the start but the proverbial cloud lifted as soon as we hit our table. To start things off the hostess was really unwelcoming, we asked to sit on the patio which evidently is comparable to demanding her first born child. I get that she's probably underpaid, potentially doesn't like her job or my face but point blank her job is to host, her job is to make paying customers feel welcome and to represent her restaurant which she failed at... miserably. Moving on, we really liked the interior, seated in the Main Dining area - I think, we had lots to look at and were comfy 4 in our booth. Our server was really gracious and nice. The drinks took a little while to come but we ordered Caesars so could have attributed to a longer wait than say beer. I think its The food was really good. I had the Grilled Chicken and Baked Brie Ciabatta, sampled the shrimp Benedict also great. We were feeling glutinous so topped off our brunch with dessert shots. They are an alcoholic desert you eat with spoons straight out of the shot glasses. Great to share as there are 6, all different flavours. I would definitely give this a try if you're looking for a brunch option in Yaletown, hopefully you'll be greeted with a Smile when you check it out! read more

I just got back from Earl's. I've done reviews on other locations of this chain, but as soon as I walked up- I knew I'd have to do a review of this experience. You know on airlines how they give you those nice fleece blankets so you can take a nap on the flight? Well someone at Earl's had the exact same idea. Behold the orange fleece logo-embroidered blankets available on the back of each patio bench. I stopped in my tracks when I saw them, and yes someone was eating with the blanket wrapped around them. I found the heaters to be quite enough in keeping me warm (despite being cloudy it's not even that cold tonight). Have any of you seen the infomercial for Snuggies? The blanket with the sleeves and pockets? Perhaps that will be the next evolution of the Earl's blankets!? Looking at it from the restaurant's point of view- this is total customer service. I think this location is doing great in that department. My server got everything perfect and let us substitute some sides to make the meals even more perfect. And by the way the raspberry margarita- excellent! 4 stars based on the service and the margarita. I find the blankets too ridiculous to rate. read more
