Sport pub and lounge environment, bright and many tv on the walls playing the Stanley Cup games and many other games. Servers are limited but still have a good service, brought drinks on time and after food was ordered, timely manner came. Food quality is great. read more

I ordered takeout from Good Co Bar for the first time and was really impressed. I went with the veggie burger & fries and added the crispy cauliflower on the side--both were absolutely delicious. The veggie burger was flavorful, well-seasoned, and held together perfectly (which isn't always the case with veggie burgers!). The bun was fresh, and all the toppings complemented each other really well. The fries were golden, crispy, and generously portioned--exactly what you want from a bar-style side. But the real standout? The crispy cauliflower. Perfectly cooked with a light, crunchy coating and great seasoning. I could've eaten an entire tray of those alone. Pickup was quick and easy, and everything was still hot and fresh when I got home. Definitely looking forward to trying more of their menu next time--maybe even dining in. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality bar food with great flavor--even the veggie options hit the mark! Let me know if you want a more casual or fun tone, or to add a specific location! read more

Great place for large groups! We were a group of about ten and got seated pretty quickly all at the same table. I got the birria grilled cheese. No complaints here! Service was a bit slower than anticipated given that it wasn't very busy. read more

Nice place for drinks and food. I do like their menu! Their Nashville chicken burger was one of the best options that I tried out. Their Caesar's drink was good but their IPA beer was better. Their customer service was friendly and the patio was good area. read more

Service was good, ambiance was okay but the eggs benny were awful. Presentation was sad, tastes even worse and I'm sure the sauce was off. I scrapped it off but Still not feeling well. Hard pass on the brunch menu. Nothing sounded appealing. read more

Christina was our server. She said she is new and did a great job at checking in with my mum and I. Food came out hot and yummy. Excellent patio with lots of fun drink options. read more

Colony Northwoods opened mid-September and is already one of the busier places in the area. After a crazy week at our jobs, Oracle and I decided to grab Happy Hour at Colony Northwoods. They only have 3 food items on their happy hour menu including the nickel burger, a 2 slider place and wings. Compared to other bars, their food offerings were definitely lacking but they did excel in the craft beer department. I decided to go with a highball ($4) and Oracle went with the on tap Lavender craft ($5.25). She really enjoyed the hint of lavender in her beer and it wasn't too fizzy either. read more

Overpriced Smash burger = yuck burger = almost meatless! $43 for 2 for garbage( no drinks) Place has gone downhill for sure. Place has 'odd' smell Won't be back Service was 'meh' read more

Nashville sandwich is super tasty and has a good kick to it spice wise. The 22 is also very good however the chicken breast was very small and didn't fill the bun (see pic). Good selection of beer and cocktails and a fun pub atmosphere. Fries and poutine were just meh as was the service- took the waitress about 10mins to acknowledge us after we were seated. Overall, decent enough food to return. read more

Final Thought: Not sure what they aim to do beside be mediocre. Food: okay (had the smash burger and lemon pepper fries), nothing to complain about, nothing to write home about Drinks: decent number of taps, but generally all garbage beers and they only serve 16 oz pints (I like flights, but I get that it's more work - at least offer sleeves though... Also, we live in Canada, a pint should be 20 oz, and they are not upfront about this on their menu) Service: friendly, but dumb. They literally know nothing about the beers, they don't know the name of the beer other than what brewery it's from. Completely useless product knowledge. Tipping options on the machine are ridiculously high. Atmosphere: similar to a Moxies - a less cool, less sexy Cactus Club vibe; inoffensive, but bland. Many of the chairs have ripped upholstery. Overall: I hate the Kitsilano location, this is a small step up (specifically moving away from the dive bar atmosphere). Many of the same issues with this chain exist though - management is clearly lazy and doesn't train staff properly. Product knowledge is in the gutter and whoever is choosing the liquor to bring in clearly has terrible taste. read more

A friend told me this place has the best veggie burger around, so.... had to see for myself. Well it was pretty good, but not quite as good as A&W's Beyond burger. Was still quite good though. My partner had the rainbow bowl which he loved. There were several tasty looking vegetarian items on the menu, so we'll surely be back. The pub is very nice. Beautiful interior. Great location. Very good service. Good seating. Enough TV's for Flames games... lol. Great dinner tonight. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

This place is a joke. The worst food I have ever had. Happy hour gives you a minor discount on poor quality food. The taco was boiled chicken on a corn tortilla. Crispy cauliflower was greasy bits that looked worse than cat food. Beer is slightly discounted but also in shrunken sizes so where's the deal there? The waitress was super rude and expected an 18% tip. Never returning! The decor is totally falling apart as well, with faux leather chairs that are all peeling. Just gross! read more

Went here for my birthday with my 2 roommates as there's not much else to do during the pandemic and sat for half an hour not being served as we watched our server make out with the boy at the table next to us, take shots with him and then agree to go smoke a joint outside with him during her shift resulting in our table only getting one drink during the hour we were there before last call. What the hell? Not sure what world this is acceptable work behaviour at but making out with the next table to us and not even coming to serve us afterwards? Not cool. Edit - 3 of the other servers just sat down and joined a table of 11 people which I didn't even think was allowed ... also have multiple other tables mingling and people walking around all over the place without masks on read more

Good Co Bar - Half the people are cut off by the post but counted 11 at this point ... 3 of them work here and all at one table - Pubs Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

I get it that this is a new restaurant and all, but the ownership group is not new to this business. They have a restaurant that fills up by 5pm daily, yet every staff member is new. They pulled no staff from other locations or business. They were overstaffed and under trained. The food came out randomly, as if they had no expediter in the kitchen sorting out chits and food that was up. A dish would come out and then 10 minutes later another would come out, and these were main courses. Trying to modify or create a dish suitable for vegetarian kids was near impossible. They wouldn't even find a way to make a small plate of nachos with cheese. We ordered the tater tots and they were cold and undercooked with easily a cup of sour cream lathered on them. So unappetizing that our table returned them. Vegans, if you're looking for something, they have a Buddha bowl you could get a better version of next door at buddhaful. Their veggie patty has egg and I'm pretty sure it's the black bean burger from Costco. The chicken fajitas were advertised as plain chicken, yet the were so covered in Cajun spice that it overpowered any other flavor and my dad simply left the chicken out of the rest of his fajitas as it was overpowering. The beers are great, the space is awesome. Give it time and they'll iron out the kinks, but wow, what a terrible experience. Our server, Teah, was great. She handled herself perfectly and professionally. The kitchen needs to sort itself out and prepare food properly and send it out at appropriate times. Even though we had a bad first experience, we were very appropriately compensated for the experience and will try again. For sure I'll be going there for après ski and post biking beers. read more

Finally we got a place to hang out for birthdays etc without crossing the bridge or heading towards LOLO aka Lonsdale. It took us 4 mins to get here woohoo - a major win. Colony is already a well known established place in vancouver and thank you for venturing out in north shore, having said we got invited for a birthday party and we were sat down in super uncomfortable - right in the centre of restaurant on a seating on 8 despite we had 13 people in our party. Guys had to request the servers to change a table upon which they took us to the booth area and told us WE HAVE THIS TABLE FOR 1 hour and 30 MINS; no one took her seriously as we were certain no one is going to kick us off our table once we sat down and of course 3 hours down and more people joined us instead of us standing table-less. Apart from this major sad welcome rest of the evening went pretty smooth. We ordered bunch of appetizers to be shared for the table and love love love love their wings-- lemon pepper ones were my personal fav and they were delish, a must try. And have I mention how good French fries are???? Yes they are beer battered and so yum, please try them too. It's like if you wanna cheat might as well cheat for these ones. Didn't even liked the idea of their' version of calamari, someone else might ; just wasn't my plate of calamari. I like my traditional way deep fried and tons of jalapeño and sweet peppers I guess. The place is brand new and I totally get it as it does take some time and that's why the drink' service wasn't prompt enough, else I would had had more if asked instead flagging and waving the servers everytime . Got our orders wrong and we ate our main when everyone was either done or left lol. It's being 2 times already we being to colony and will definitely going back soon as I'm hopeful for this gem. PS they dnt have pick up service yet, too bad else I wanted those chicken wings on Netflix nights. read more

I can't believe all the whining in the previous reviews: I came in during a busy Thursday and was greeted and seated immediately. I was flying solo so I asked to sit at the bar. Katie was super attentive and asked me if I needed another beer at that perfect moment that only good barmen can sense. 2 beers, wings and a pan of fries later, I was a happy man. Kalisha (manager) was just as great checking in on me also. Looking forward to them opening one in New Westminster one of these days. PG read more

I didn't know that the north shore had a colony bar so I was surprised when going to this location for lunch. The space is nice but smaller than I anticipated. It's has the feel of a sports bar but with high ceiling. I wasn't very hungry that time so I just ordered a basic Caesar salad. I'm not quite sure the price point was worth what was served as it was just romaine lettuce, dressing, a wedge of lemon and maybe 6 croutons. It's was a sensibly sized bowl for a main salad but even adding a couple pieces of a protein would be a more reasonable price of $12. I tried some of their fries from my friends veggie burger and they were great. Nice crunch but also fluffy on the inside aswell. Overall I would say it's a nice place you you want a simple lunch and decent priced drinks as well. read more

The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich is awesome... if they get the order right. First time was great and was the reason for repeated visits. 2nd time we went for my B-day and I ordered the same sandwich. It arrived without the pickles and the HOT SAUCE! So basically, it was just a plain chicken sandwich. The 3rd time, I ordered take-out. I got pickles this time, but still no hot sauce! read more

I should have left after the hostess pointed to a table and then ignored us. The menu is very sad, chicken , chicken and everything deep fried. Nothing stands out on this menu. Our waitress was fine but seriously she looked like she had just rolled out of bed. We decided to order fish and chips , 40 minutes later we were served a cold plate of food. Pretty sure we ate frozen pre battered fish and greasy cold fries. The place feels like the manager is not engaged with the business. Post Covid is not an excuse for lack of energy in any business. read more

Tried Colony for the first time and it's good spot for lunch!! The place is pretty small so I would get their early (they open at 11:30). Staff were really nice and even though it was really busy with everyone having Christmas lunches, they were still able to make sure we were looked after. Food was great! A little on the smaller size for portions but not too bad. The Nashville chicken sandwich was awesome and I would definitely have again!! I'd come back for sure - it was a great lunch spot. I would like to try their brunch too as their brunch menu looks really good. read more

We had a very enjoyable evening thanks to our server Paige who kept things running smoothly even when the restaurant system shut down! Great food and drinks, thank you Paige :) read more

Lots of kinks to work out, but I hope one day it will become a good spot on the north shore we desperately need them! Service was not good, both mine and my dates burgers were charred/burnt and our fries arrived barely warm. Mine went dead cold while I waited another 10 minutes for vinegar because the waitress "forgot" the food was a solid 2 stars. Atmosphere is good, beer selection great, new nicely decorated spot fabulous! I'm being generous with my 3 stars in the hopes they will iron out all the kinks. read more

Food was average. I had the rainbow bowl and added chicken but the chicken was a bit dry. The salad and dressing was alright. The veggies were fresh but and the presentation was nice but I wasn't expecting much from the food. I liked the outdoor patio though and would probably only go here for drinks in the future. It's a great place for groups as there is lots of seating. I was pleased with the service overall. read more

Want to know of an easy way to hit your vegetable quota for the day? Find a place that serves fried cauliflower! We ordered these at @colonynorthwoods and it was oh so easy to devour the whole bowl yourself. That should be enough servings of veggies for the day, right? (Tip: If you want to balance it with something healthier, try their Rainbow Glory Bowl! Their Tahini dressing is excellent.) read more

Well we waited for a salad and a chicken sandwich for over 50 min. with the restaurant half full. We arrived close to 7 pm and at 7:55 our food arrived after we complained to the great waitress that served us. The manager was a BIG A.... "What would you like me to do, if you are just telling me". He never checked back after we've got our food. Oh well, we came one time a few years ago when they open prior to Covid and now I think we will never come back again. Kudos to the waitress, not her fault. read more

We came here for the first time yesterday. We were greeted right away, the server was excellent, drinks and food came quickly, and the burger I ordered was really tasty. (A little too much bun, but the flavours made up for it.) Prices were average for Vancouver. The place was nice and bright, and not too loud. Overall it's a great addition to the neighbourhood and I will probably go back. read more

First Impression, pretty OK. We enter the place at 2:30 pm. Entry looks straight up like a yoga studio. The hostess (extremely emaciated young blond with a bun updo) greets us with barely a smile. Just tells us to wait, then disappears. We wait about 5 minutes then out of curiosity walk past the hostess stand into the restaurant. There's maybe 5 other customers in there. Hostess walks back and tells us to follow. No smile, no "how're you doing today?" Nada, nichts. This girl should work in a funeral home. Our comment to the owners, why not just let people seat themselves during off hours when the hostess clearly needs a nap? Thankfully it goes uphill from there. Our server was a Kiwi or Aussie dude, really friendly, no deadpan face there, he was alive, happy and on the ball. Yay! We order beer & wine, grilled avocado bowl and fish sandwich. Everything is delivered in a timely manner and the food was yummy. Hot food was hot, cold food was cold. 2 drinks each, 2 mains came to $57 with tip. That's pretty cheap in my book. We also noticed that have $3 drinks on Tuesdays. Say what??? Pretty good deal for eating out all around. In comparison to the ultra tantrically coolio Buddhaful in the same plaza we'd definitely choose Colony. The decore here is uppercrust country yoga and they have a world class patio, not a Heineken umbrella in sight. We wish them luck and will be going for $3 drinks, maybe tonight since Tuesday is my Friday. read more

The fact I did the 18% min tip is on me, the bad food and indifferent service is on them...

inconsistent service, food quality is beyond hit and miss if they have it. you can order the same cocktail and have it made different every time. always a change of staff. over priced and many nights seems like a lot of underage kids. used to be a regular but once the 1 waitress and bartender manager that were consul and could do the job were gone it's been downhill. would not recommend at all. they even got rid of the kids menu! read more

Beautiful patio half empty because the only have 2 servers on duty. Beautiful sunny day and you have to negotiate a table due to poor planning. Step it up Colony. read more

TERRIBLE food - have MANY examples of this - keep giving them chances as it's a great place for a beer and decent patio but man their food is brutal. The WORST ribs I have ever had, like biting into a piece of rubber. Breakfast might be safe but I have concerns about their quality and cleanliness. read more

First time back to Colony Northwoods after COVID, and it was great. Our server, wearing a mask, was pleasant and efficient. Our chicken sandwiches (one Nashville and one Crispy) were perfectly cooked. Unavailable tables due to distancing were clearly marked, and I noticed staff doing a good cleaning after patrons left their tables. It seemed that they're doing everything right, and we're glad they're back up and running. read more

Was looking forward to trying a new brunch place in North Van. Ordered Avocado Toast- came out brownish and not very appetizing. Service, decor and overall experience was just meh. Can't say I'll be in a rush to come back. read more

Food is decent... wish the service was better. It's the only sports bar in the area. And I wish they would get the service figured out... always dead slow and lazy. read more

Food left a lot to be desired, but the service was good considering we had a huge group!

Pretty average place for lunch. Food was ok, service was meh. First time here. Can't think of a reason to come back.

The bartender saved my life when a crazy guy started to talk about the taliban he used his wooden justice hammer to bring order to the court and he also laughed at my jokes read more

There was a 5 minute wait for a table. When we got inside there were loads of empty tables. Not sure if they were short on staff or if this was a strategy for making it seem more popular than it is. Either way, not very service friendly. Add to that the staff didn't seem very happy to be working there. As for food...the burger was okay and the fries were soggy like they were cooked in a microwave and not crispy from a deep frier. Overall, won't come back here for our North Shore adventures. read more

Went to the Colony Bar for dinner tonight. Had Tynelle as a waitress... 5 star for her! Loved the food, wait staff and the ambiance. We will be back!! read more

I think this "bar" needs to work out a few glitches yet. Not much ambiance in this place which was extremely disappointing. They could have done so much more with the lighting and seating plan. We were at one of the small tables lined up for two, or if you bring tables together, more people. Way too many tables! I couldn't even squeeze between tables to sit down! Very uncomfortable and too close to your neighbours. They should take out at least one or two tables to make more room. Girls serving and hosting were running all over the place looking flustered, didn't seem very organized. After waiting so long to have this place open, I was sadly disappointed. Statement light fixtures instead of boring white pendants would go a long way! Fingers crossed things improve. read more
