Tried the wings here after a friend's recommendation. Okay they have seriously good wings here. Recommended. As of the time of writing, wings are $9/lb on Wednesdays. Normal price is $14. Buddies and I tried 3 flavours. All of them were good. My favourite was the lemon pepper (dry rub), followed by Caribbean jerk, and honey garlic. They don't skimp on the sauce, and the dipping sauce (ranch?) goes very well with the wings. Definitely need to come by more on Wednesdays. Recommended.

I love the Great Bear Pub. B and I came here on Wednesday to take advantage of the wings deal here. It is $9 per lb. on Wednesday. It came with a small dip and some veggies. There are a few flavors of wings to choose from at Great Bear Pub. The wings were good size. Best of all there is no rules when ordering the wings. Other than the Wednesday special, they also have happy hour special and daily special on other days. I also got their happy hour calamari special for $10. That was very tasty as well. Good portion size. Everything here were fresh and on point. No complaint. Service was great. At night they have Karaoke. Also they have Pool Table games along with darts. Looks like a fun hang out place. B and I came here to just to have wings. If you have friends in town and looking for some activities at night, I suggest coming to Great Bear Pub. They open late too.

Street Side Tacos with the ancho chicken
Sarah G.

We had a pretty good experience for our first time coming here while visiting Vancouver. We got the Street Side Tacos with the Ancho Chicken which was delicious but spicy!!! Good spicy but spicy :) Also got the Beef Dip and the Perogie and Chorizo with house salad. All the food was really good. The beef dip was good but didn't come out exactly the way we ordered it but they fixed it and it was great. The staff was nice and we will plan on being back next time we're in town.

Bacontini! Very bacony, yum

They infuse their own vodka!!!! Let me say that slower: They... Infuse... Their... Own... Vodka. It's amazing. Bacon vodka? Hell yes. The perfect appetizer! Chipotle Pepper Vodka? In a ceasar, dinner is done. Jelly Bean Vodka and Vanilla Vodka? The most delicious desserts! Espresso Vodka? An after dinner treat and the easiest way to Irish up that Martini I am hooked. They have a great drink menu, an awesome selection of craft beer and guess what? The food is good! On Wednesday they have $0.35 wings; we needed a lot to soak up all that vodka. I highly recommend the Szechuan (kinda of like an amazing Teriyaki), the sweet heat and the sea salt & lime. The dry ribs are also delicious. What a find! The Great Bear is totally worth checking out. Very impressed with everything!

3.5 stars! I have had a much better experience here over my last couple of visits. In particular, I found that the food and service quality has greatly improved. On my last visit, we ordered a round of appetizers - Street Side Chicken Tacos, Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip, Reuben Sliders, and Sweet Heat Chicken Wings; and some drinks. Previously, my complaints with respect to the food had a lot to do with the fact that it came out cold (which made it seemed less fresh). However, I did not have that problem at all these last couple of times around. All of the appetizers we ordered were delicious and fresh. I would honestly order them all again, in addition to recommending them to anyone who has yet to try. - Street Side Tacos - The chicken was very well-seasoned and very juicy. - Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip - The dip is creamy and addictive. - Reuben Sliders - The dijon and sauerkraut really adds to the overall taste. - Sweet Heat Chicken Wings - Flavour is great and the wings were piping hot on the inside. The manager here is very in touch with ensuring his customers are satisfied. After my previous review, he was very interested in getting feedback on what could be improved. As a customer, I appreciate that immensely ... especially seeing the amount of effort that has been invested into making improvements! Our waitress (Angela) was also fantastic and made great drink recommendations. If you come here, I hope you get her! She'll really put a smile on your face.

With All Stars Karaoke - SUNDAYS - 8pm to 12am!
Brian S.

New kitchen with some great tasting new food! Plenty of parking out front, Sundays is ALL STARS KARAOKE - different than the karaoke they have Thurs and Sat. The Sunday karaoke is AMAZING - huge live sound - lights, smoke, digital song books - tons and tons of song choices! You can play electric darts and pool behind a glassed area - so the karaoke is less intrusive if it ain't your thing. Nice patio outside for smokers and enjoy the sun - with great built in heaters for when it chills down. Plenty of craft beer choices and friendly and efficient staff! A great way to spend Sunday night! There is even an OPEN MIC on Mondays!

Embarrassed to admit since they definitely know their neighboring restaurant is what brings some…read morecustomers in, but this pub was a diamond! It was really cold outside and we were waiting for our takeout to be ready and walked into the pub. Seated right away and enjoyed some drinks over poutine. Friendly staff, cool interior, good drinks!

I've not been to this pub's past location in Gastown so I can't compare it to its past venue, and I'm not a beer drinker, so I can't comment on that, but we both had a great time here! The pub interior was very reminiscent to the Irish pubs I frequented back in the day, when I spent time on the Emerald Isle: dark wood panelling, humongous selection of liquors and beers and bottles on the mirrored bar back, Guinness decor (posters and tchatchkies) interspersed with relics of various Catholic saints and deities. Wooden tables and chairs. Servers with genuine Irish accents. It felt like the real deal. Oh, and if you're into whiskey, they have one of the most extensive whiskey menus I've seen in Vancouver, by far (I am attaching a photo). Their food menu was impressive, too, especially for an Irish pub (which, in my day, wasn't really known for its food!). I had a Bailey's and my kid had a shandy (she had never had one before and she loved it). Our server was friendly and the atmosphere, casual and welcoming.

We had a blast as the big restaurant with all its amenities was all ours. 1. The seating is huge with two floors. Lounges , dinning tables and what not. 2. Second it has live dj and the pub is open late on weekends for dj parties 3. Food and service is excellent. We not only enjoyed the food but played a good match of table tennis. There is a big section dedicated to games as well. I am setting this place as my go to and for sure one of my events will take place here.

Oak is part of the JRG fam, which i find hit or miss. I'm a big fan of Livelyhood in port moody (i think they have a great chef cuz the food is usually pretty good). I went to celebrate my nephews 8th birthday there (he said his reasoning was cuz they had good breakfast, and he could watch the hockey game). It was during happy hour so there are some cheaper options. I decided to get 1 corn dog ($4), and the pretzel ($6). When they server came with the food she was like "they accidentally made you 3 corn dog". well hey i'm not complaining! The pretzel arrived and looked ROUGH. i could tell it was going to be awful, i had a few bites and was not having it, it was dry, no salt or seasoning and the dip only worked for the corn dogs. I really enjoyed the corn dogs, they were fresh and tasty! I ended up letting the server know i was not happy with the pretzel and that it was dry and very bland. I usually have decent experiences here, the service is good, nice layout and the food is decent, but this pretzel was rough. She was really nice about my feedback and when my bill came, it was only $4. Thankfully she had taken the pretzel off my bill and was super super nice about it. Shoutout to Breanne! Maybe it's time to switch up the pretzel recipe but all in all, oak is a decent place if you're looking for pub food in langley. I prefer it over townhall for some reason.

Great restaurant in a great hotel! Loved the buffet that they offer to their guests everyday…read more Although we were a little unlucky to have hit the closures for one day but we got a good compensation in the form of skillet breakfast. Starting with the buffet, it was vast with varieties of breads, live omelet counter, a chocolate fountain (every kid's AND adult's dream breakfast item!), fruits, roasted veggies, pancakes, salad bar, hummus, even dumplings! mini burritos, the quintessential sausage, eggs, pastries etc. The spinach feta danish and the mini burrito really stood out The quantity was awesome, taste was good too although I would not say top notch. Coming to the skillet breakfast in lieu of the buffet contained, eggs, potatoes, beautifully buttered and toasted sourdough, tomato, hashbrown, avocado, chicken sausage, chocolate croissant, latte, all of which was awesome with the exception of the sausage which was average. The quantity of the food was not a lot since we were hungry within hours whereas the buffet food was so much that we did not need to eat till dinner! The service was top notch, great ambience with the mountain view, a fireplace, pretty seating.

This place is top notch and perfect for a date night. We came specifically for the hot chocolate,…read morebut sadly the little hot cocoa hut that was outside on the patio was closed. A tad disappointed, the bartender was quick to cheer me up with a one (with baileys and kahlua of course). The presentation and taste were amazing. I'll be dreaming about it on cold days. We had a few other drinks and all were exceptional. The staff was very attentive ensuring we had snacks, waters, and were happy with our drinks. We will definitely make this an annual stop when coming to Whistler. Highly recommend.
