Went here on a Friday night but was easy to get a seat (kits location). This is not a place for a quiet sit down dinner, it's more of a party on a Friday vibe but that is what I was going for that night. They have a lot of options for bar food and drinks, my top favourite were there loaded tator tots! I was also very excited about their taquitos but, I didn't think they were worth it for the price as well as the quantity. I got their lager for drinks and my friend got a bunch of their cocktails. What I like the most about this location is their service! Very quick and friendly. Their granville location is usually very busy on weekends so this is a good alternative. read more

ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE -- DO NOT STEP FOOT IN THIS PLACE! I went in expecting a nice meal and left completely appalled. I ordered the chicken tacos, and what arrived at my table was practically raw and barely cooked. When I brought this safety hazard to the staff's attention, they completely ignored me and brushed my concerns off without a care in the world. When I demanded to speak with a manager, they forced me to sit there for over 25 agonizing minutes, only to dismissively tell me "the manager is busy." The level of disrespect and neglect was unbelievable. I wouldn't return here over my dead body. Consider yourself warned -- save your money, your time, and your stomach! read more

This place is very mediocre. I've been going here for the last 10 years or so through their multiple name changes, which is now called GoodCo. They advertise NFL on Sundays, but if you are planning to see a game there - WARNING - don't! You may walk in at 1pm on a Sunday during NFL season to fi d them playing car racing on every single TV... (Are you kidding me?!!?!!?). This business can barely stay afloat and this is an example of why. read more

A mediocre bar, would not go there just for the food. They do host themed nights sometimes or some sort of watch party or trivia in which i think is a better reason to pull up than food. read more

Super chill bar and grill. Awesome poutine and other pub fare with a nice steer view in Kitsilano.

My 11 yr old son's favourite restaurant. Loved the lemon pepper fries and the nashville chicken sandwich is great. Didn't like the hot wings. Too saucy and were hot and sweet read more

Decent bar, prices for beer and cocktails are cheap and cocktail was made perfect but they got our food order wrong booths are comfy but bathroom smelled bad fries were perfect and burger was great read more

I would highly recommend avoiding this place. We went here at 6pm one evening waited 20min to just get an order In for beers. Ordered are mains 30 mins later were told it would be another 15 "maybe"....canceled order and weren't even compensated.....on our beers or appy.....left with no dinner. This is only one of many times we have left with horrible service... read more

Food is not bad. Reasonable priced. It has some good selection. Had the nanchos there and the food is different than the nancho you get elsewhere. You really have to try it. The Nancho are seasoned and then on top you have the cheese and bell peppers and jalapeno. That was pretty special. Also I had the poutine. Not bad. good portion size. Not too much gravy so the fries are not soaked. I do like that. Wings are not bad. The salt and pepper was good and goes well with blue cheese. The flat breads are not bad. Pretty good service. Decor is not bad. Place is clean. But the place isn't big. It does have a few TV hanging. But the angles are so so. if you are sitting at the booths, you don't really get a good angle of the TV. Definitely will go back since I am couple blocks away. read more

Tried a bunch of appies, as well as a couple of "handheld" dishes - the BBQ Onion Ring Burger, and the Beef Dip. Flatbread pizzas - actually quite good. Probably my favourite of all the dishes I've tried here. Nice thin crusts, and fresh and light toppings. Nachos - fairly decent. BBQ Onion ring burger - onion rings were too heavy on the batter. Almost a meal by themselves. Burger was pretty tasty though. Beef dip - decent, but the jus was way too salty. I couldn't finish it off, even after using it as a dip for my fries. The fries themselves were decent but could be a bit more crispy. Still undecided on this place. Just like my previous review, it's hit and miss. read more

Wow.. what can I say nothing but amazing food and drinks. The service was unbelievable thanks to our amazing server Kellee. She gave us some suggestions for food and we really enjoyed everything. The staff was super accommodating and we had a lot of fun there. Will be back soon. read more

Cheap products at a premium price along with horrible service. took our drink order and it was served in Walmart glasses. Server didn't bother to come back for a food order. When we asked for the bill, she then asked if we wanted food; to which we answered not anymore. She apparently didn't care. read more

It's ok. Food is ok, prices are ok, vibe is ok, beer list is mediocre. I enjoy pubs and live nearby, but don't find myself coming here. The good: - Ambiance (lighting, seating, volume) is good for casual dates. - Attracts the most energetic bar crowd in the area (but this is still Vancouver so don't expect any socializing with strangers). The disappointing: - Boring food. Nothing especially tasty nor bad. - Not sure why I should drop $7 on standard beers you can get anywhere. If you want an interesting beer selection (and better food + similar atmosphere), go to Darby's. If you want affordability with a nice side of character, there's Fringe nearby. Colony occupies some undefined middle ground without clear appeal for me, but it seems to do well regardless. read more

Cool sports bar to eat at and hang out. Our waitress was very sweet and delightful. Food was pretty good. Happy hour burger was great, too. They offer high quality tea bags despite being a bar, like that. Watched college football there and that was nice. read more

I usually avoid this place due to the massive crowds of drunks that are constantly there, but occasionally pop in during a quiet afternoon or the last hour before they close (not in Friday/Saturday) when it's less busy. Tip: Tuesday has cheap beers so it's usually the best day to pop in during off hours. Edit: apparently now they only offer regular menu beers cheap; rotating taps aren't on special AND they only pour them in pints, not sleeves, so no longer worth bothering coming here... I normally avoid places that don't over flights or 4 oz pours, but at least if they have a 10 oz sleeve I can justify trying a couple new beers that are likely not very good (original rating was 2, now lowered to 1). Food is below average, standard pub fare, nothing to go out of your way for. I suppose the fajitas are decent. Beer offerings are okay, but the biggest gripe I have is that they constantly mislabel the beers and the staff have no clue what beer is what. There is literally zero product knowledge. Most of the beers they just put (brewery) (style) such as "Field House IPA", but Field House puts out more than 40 different versions of an IPA! Or right now they have "33 Acres Passionfruit Popper", but it should be "33B" or "33 Brewing Experiment" because it is a separate company from 33 Acres. These mistakes constantly happen and show the sheer laziness of whoever is in charge of their products. read more

Was seated on the patio, waited 15 minutes for service. No one came so I approached the bar to place an order and was told by 3 staff that it was table service. I returned to patio, 3 staff continued chatting, still no service. We left. Venue was grubby, staff incompetent or just ignorant. Don't waste your time. read more

First, everyone must come here on a Tuesday the drink specials are on point. Now that ball park nachos. The cheese dip was watered down and you couldn't really taste the cheese. It was runny enough that it would just run off the chip. Not sure why a restaurant would serve such watered down cheese dip. I would prefer the nacho cheese from 7-11. The nacho chips tasted stale. I would not recommend ordering the ball park nachos. read more

I came here at the suggestion of a friend on a Canucks game night. They have been opened for about 3.5 weeks. The space was a good mix of high tables, booths, tables and bar seating. A slightly upper scale pub. Lots of TVs around. The menu had a lot of different takes on your usual. We had the "Winning Wings" and they were definitely winners. Maybe a bit pricey at 6 wings for $12 but it's wrapped in maple bacon and stuffed with cream cheese! It was really yummy! Their French Fry Bar menu looked awesome. We had the Beer Battered Lemon Pepper Fries. Definitely another winner. They were perfectly seasoned and crispy. The special that night was $3 draft beer! Can't beat that price! The atmosphere was fun and casual. The waitress was friendly and attentive. It's a hit! We'll be back. read more

Quinoa Goat Cheese vegetarian burger was OK, but Beer Battered Lemon Pepper Fries were really decent. For +2.50 you can upgrade your fries/salad to specialty fries from their fry bar, so that's one way to get these Lemon Pepper fries. They are a bit on the salty side, but the tang/zing from the lemon really helps keep your appetite whetted. read more

Great service, great drinks, yummy & simple bar food. Went on a Sunday afternoon and was fab.

It was fun lounging in Kits' newest, revamped neighbourhood pub, formerly Kitsilano Billiards (from the same family ownership group), and sipping on a robust Maker's sour (aka bourbon/whisky sour). I dined on some comfort bar food with small twists including winning wings (stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in maple bacon), wok fried squid, and braised pork belly sliders. I liked their friendly servers, bar staff, and company serving up many local beers on tap from Whistler, Parallel 49, and Driftwood brewing companies as I enjoyed the Canucks game on screens all around. read more

I've frequented Good Co. for quite some time now, dating back to before these postcolonial times (i.e., it was still called the Colony). I'm usually a low-maintenance customer, just getting a couple of drinks with some friends at the weekly trivia night. Insofar as that goes, service is pretty mediocre--some waitresses are good; sometimes it takes upwards of 20 minutes to so much as get a glass of wine poured or to pay the bill. But, as someone who, in this eschatologically charged 21st century, is effectively numb regarding the vicissitudes of life, it's basically fine. (The trivia itself is quite good, to be clear, and may well be the only real thing the place has going for it.) Recently, however, I'm trying to opt back into the path of "caring about my health" like the entitled millennial I am, so I've been looking at some of their offerings that are ostensibly healthier than alcohol--to me, in an ideal world, that's low carbs, a variety of nutrient-dense vegetables, and a fair amount of animal-based protein. Even looking through their menu now, I see only three items that, on paper, come remotely close to approximating those basic principles. Please note the superlatively pointed use of the phrase "on paper". I opted for the avocado bowl salad with chicken; it would be charitable to describe what I received as much more than a plate of lettuce in drag. (Nothing against those who partake in drag, of course.) There was a whopping half-avocado for a dish that is in fact named for its use of avocado as an ingredient; that half-avocado was itself partly brown--although I'll grant them that it's hard to ripen and maintain avocados, and I'd rather they not waste basically-fine food anyhow. There were also maybe 4-5 tomatoes, some black beans, and an overabundance of corn. But for the most part it was just a plate of lettuce. No spinach, no kale, not even any arugula--just Romaine fucking lettuce. (As an aside, why one would choose to sully one's salad with nutrient-poor grains like corn is entirely beyond me.) Now, as mentioned, I did have chicken added to the salad. On the menu, this was indicated to be a $5.00 charge--steep, I thought, but I did want some protein. What I received was maybe fifty cents' worth of chicken--I ate it in literally one bite. (Not commenting here on the true value of that chicken's inconceivably hellish life, what with capitalism-fueled husbandry practices, but rather on the market price.) Further, after I'd paid, I noticed they'd charged me not $5.00 for roughly fifty cents' worth of chicken, but $5.75. It's tiny, and it's absolutely not worth making a fuss over, but nonetheless that's the point my morale just snapped. The menu is completely online, all it would take is for them to edit a few characters, and they still can't be bothered do the bare minimum keep it maintained. If I'm being charitable, I would say it reeks of poor management; if I'm not, I would say it is emblematic of an thorough, deep disrespect, both to their clientele and to their staff. All in all, the experience made me just despondent. It broke me to such an extent that I'm bothering to write this to express the full extent of my displeasure. I'm actively imploring my friends to move our trivia night, that's how thoroughly dismal the evening was. I wish never to give them money again. read more

We walked past on the weekend and saw the Buy 1 Get 1 Free Brunch last Sunday and thought we'd give it a shot. The front windows completely open up, and it was another gorgeous day (Vancouver's on a roll!) so even though it wasn't a patio, it still felt bright and airy. The space is nice, and I see there are a lot of daily specials, including $2 tacos on Sundays and $3 draft beers on Tuesdays. They also have an adequate selection of local beers. Our food was mediocre, but brunch at a bar? Perhaps it's a little unfair to judge them out of their element. We had the Chicken & Bacon Frittata (a little dry), and the Breakfast Fajitas. Neither of them did much for me, but passable with the Buy 1 Get 1 deal, making them about $6 each. I'd be up for coming back one night to see what their nighttime vibe and food was like. read more

This place is always busy and they are totally okay with "standies". It's the kind of place where, if it's busy grab a drink and stand around, and steal a table when you can. I don't mind Colony Bar because I have had some good times here but it's not my favorite pub. The food is standard pub fair with typical Vancouver prices. Nothing overly special too mention. I am always impressed with the service staff because this placed is so crazy I don't know how the do it. Food wise, the Chicken fajitas are tasty but have become a smaller portion over the last couple years for the same price. The nachos are also pretty good but they are skimpy on the meat. Wine list is so so and the prices are typical. They do offer drink specials which is great and when we went today, on the Greek Days Sunday, they had Belgium Moon beer on for $4.75. It's a actually a beer i'll drink cause it's good, but I am just not a big beer drinking. I just realized they also had "brunch drinks" on special as well. I assume that means Mimosas and Ceasers. My complaints for this place are the #1 The bathrooms are always a mess and stink like pee. #2 Front door guy. I mean, we need a bouncer because why? This guy today to reached to grab my bf's coffee out of his hands while we were approaching the door. Not cool. My guy had to stand outside in the rain to finish his Starbucks. I've been to "Nice" restaurants that wouldn't even do that. Colony is very loud, I mean very loud. It's just a pub nothing special. read more

We came here on a Monday night. The place was dimly lit, looks clean and presentable and I liked the atmosphere. Servers were ok with service but maybe because they were busy with a full house for that night's event. Having said that, I was able to flag them down, but we got the basics of service that night, having to ask for napkins etc. We got to try out some pub food: nachos 15$, pepper lime wings-12$ (my fav there), flat bread pizzas 15$, poutine -7$. They had a nice-looking bar there with a handsome bartender (har har). I also like the front clear window garage opening by the corner. They had booths and high tables. Bathrooms were clean and tidy at the back of the pub. They also have Trivia Wednesdays and we of course won a 50$ gift card that night as a promo. Price on menu is fair. Paid street parking available at front and sides. read more

Terrible service. I was sitting for 20 minutes waiting for a waiter and when FINALLY served they said we all had to be 18 when we were sitting outside no where near the bar. Also all employees were not wearing masks nor sanitizing the table we had just sat at after leaving. read more

Came here for lunch and it was empty. Had the pulled pork burger (not sure what it was called) but it was really yummy! Had them upgrade my fries to the fry bar and had a choice of various different types of fries I could have chosen from. Was going to get pulled pork poutine, but since I already had some type of Asian Pulled Pork so decided on some beer battered fries which really hit the spot! Funny thing is that I was working and it would have been bad for me to grab a beer with this combo so...I bought a pop for about $3.75. For an extra $0.25 I could have had a BEER for lunch...I was choked. But it was a very good lunch and this is a really nice bar. read more

Came here for drinks, mainly wine. Small wine menu but we found a bottle we like, an Argentinian Malbec. It was Oscars night so the TV were all on. Since it is my first time here, not sure what the normal sense is like. I was hoping for some music instead. Otherwise, it was alright read more

I went here with some family as it was just around the corner from where they lived. I ordered the kale caesar salad with chicken and a side fries as I didn't find anything on the one page menu that I liked. When the salad came, I noticed right away that there was NO dressing on the salad. It was just the kale, some bacon bits, a few croutons, what appeared to be some sort of parmesan cheese and a few pieces of chicken, but there was NO evidence of caesar dressing. It tasted dry and bland. NO flavouring. I couldn't finish the plate. I moved on to the fries because it was the only other thing I ordered that tasted like they were supposed to. My aunt ordered the cob salad with ranch dressing and there was NO evidence of ranch dressing. She had to ask for "extra" ranch just so she have dressing on her salad. I won't be back. read more

The worst and rudest service I've ever experienced in Vancouver. The manager on shift was rude from the moment our group arrived. We were a large party (15ppl) but we had booked a week ahead so we were expected. She rolled her eyes at us, was passive aggressive and continued to usher us with her hands in a very rude way. It got the point that we were going to leave as only half of our group had been served one drink., one of our group asked to speak to her privately, she asked him to join her outside, he shared his upset at her attitude towards us from the off, explaining it seemed like she was annoyed for another reason before we got there. As a manager is is meant to set an example for her team, she was shocking. As a result of the conversation. With a member of our group she did cover the round but it was an awful experience and we left. read more

Definitely come here on a Tuesday if you can, their $3 drink specials can't be beat! We've also eaten the quinoa burger and the crunchy chicken burger. The quinoa burger is good if you want a meatless meal, but we didn't find there was much flavour to it. The chicken burger was decent, but we have had better. The fries are okay, a little on the dry side. We would recommend this place for drinks and appetizers, but maybe not as much for a meal. read more

Shitty bar with horribly expensive drinks and really rude waitresses. I wet in there for a drink and had to wait 45 minutes for a beer even though the waiters were chatting behind the bar and other tables that were getting drinks after I arrived. Food is way worse than any other bar I've been too. 100% would not suggest to go to. read more

Come for drinks. Food, not so much. I was lured by $3 (almost all) draft beer Tuesdays. Pretty decent choices like Parallel 49 and Whistler Brewing. Sleeve of course, not pint but still good deal. I went with one of their self labelled S for Signature menu items, crunchy chicken sandwich $13.60) and subbed for beer battered lemon pepper fries (+$2.50). It was hard to distinguish taste between the bun and the chicken. Bland and old oil taste is the best way to put it. The fries were a good attempt but again suffered from an overdue dryer oil change. Service was ok considering they were packed. read more

I go here fairly often and there are two - Main st and Broadway. I usually go to the Main st location and enjoy their Happy hour specials. It's changed since I started going and it's not exactly what I liked before but it's definitely better value than after 6. Tuesday's they have all the beers on special and that's a good deal too. It's got good staff that are attentive and experienced. I guess if you work in a bar you are used to all sorts of craziness so the wait staff are pretty calm, cool and collected. I love they way they show up. I went to the Broadway locale for MMA (my first time) and it was free and a lot of fun even though we were sharing our table. read more

This place is clean but other than that, the menu is pretty gross. Very greasy, with bad meat from unmentionable sources. The waitress I had reeked of cigarettes which immediately put me off eating. The beer menu isn't bad though. And there are TVs, and big open windows. As a foodie who loves junk food, I wouldn't say this place is worth visiting. There are plenty of better pubs in Kitsilano. read more

Since the first day or so these guys have been open (3 months now?), my girlfriend and I have given them no less than 5 chances to be awesome, and they've somehow failed every time. Normally I wouldn't give a place that served me mouldy cheese in my first food order with them EVER a second chance, but I'm a neighbourhoody kinda guy that wants to see new businesses succeed in the wasteland that has become W Broadway between Macdonald and Alma. Due to the nature of my work, I spend a lot of time in bars all over the world, so I've seen awesome, and I've seen total shit. A lot of new places seem, at first glance, to look awesome. Everyone's got the antlers, the exposed brick/beams, the reclaimed wood bar top, a couple cool beers on tap, and a few hip looking bros behind the bar....but not everyone has the service and quality control to back it up. While it may LOOK great inside, this place is just another shitty sports bar masquerading as a hip new place to hang. They've gone to the tremendous expense of hanging 8 (it might be 10 actually) monster flat screens around the upper perimeter of the place, so that wherever you turn, some over make-up'd dork from Sportsnet is staring down at you. Talk about ruining the work that someone put into those beams and bar top. I like going for a beer. My schedule allows me to pop down to my local at 3pm for a pint if I want, so when a new place opens up that has a $3 pint day, I'm gonna give it a few tries. The first time we stopped in was late at night (after 10, not so busy) on the way home from a walk. We seated ourselves at a large, conspicuous, 4 seater table near the front and waited. And waited. And waited. 5 mins. 10 mins. 13 mins......no acknowledgement. Servers were there, doing stuff, taking orders elsewhere, but didn't seem to notice their new guests sitting at a fresh table with no drinks on it. So we left. Fuck em. Strike one. Strike two was the next week, on a sunny afternoon. We figured a successful grocery shopping trip deserved a beer, and maybe a snack. It was pretty slow, so we were noticed in a timely fashion, and our beers arrived quickly. We decided to go all in and ordered the pulled pork poutine. It came out in a good time, and the first few bites were passable (rolling my eyes at their claim of having amazing pulled pork), although the potatoes were a bit dry. Colony was on the verge of redeeming itself, until I unearthed a sizeable chunk of mouldy cheese. Really guys? Our server apologized and took the offending piece of bad food back to the kitchen, where I had a clear view of the chef's reaction. I suppose a shrug and a quick check of the cheese container on the line is an acceptable reaction...if you're a total fucking hack. We kept what was left of our snack, picked through it, and it was struck from the final bill. I wouldn't really order it again, mould or no mould. Just cause you serve it in a cute little cast iron pan doesn't make it actually good. Strike's three, four, and five have come over the last 6 weeks or so. Again, a $3 pint of something drinkable is tough to beat, unless they're magically out of what you want and have to settle for something else (we actually both wanted to leave, but a miscommunication led one of us to ordering while the other was in the bathroom). Unfortunately the service continues to be shit. Slow and inattentive loses the race, folks! Last night we sat with empty glasses, waiting for our bill for over 15 mins, while new patrons hovered over us waiting to snag our table. No tip for you! And don't even get me started on their cheesy attempt at perceived coolness with their 'low brow' Thursday event thing. Get real. And get your shit together. Actually, do whatever you want, Colony. We just won't be coming back to find out what that is. read more
