Still fresh & clean having just opened this past summer…read more Steveston Built Local Taphouse & Grill is definitely an enhancement to this area of Steveston Village. One has to move with the times & marketing SV as that 'quiet sleepy fishing village' to tourists can only get you so far in the 21st Century with our super fast paced life styles! SB is a neat, clean comfortable chilled out pub. Locals will be impressed & very happy with this new pub option. To be honest I was blown away with how great my meal tasted! I was not expecting it to be so amazing! My Crispy Chicken Burger was truly one of the best I've ever had!!! The fries complemented the meal - these fries were again the best ones I've had yet!!! I really do hope SB can continue to maintain these high standards for a long time! I've gone to pubs all over Metro Vancouver & it feels like the chef just got out on parole, or the pub just keeps employing high school kids in the kitchen! One really wants to support - 'Local' - but too often the food tastes just like - sadness! My friend ordered the Happy Hour special - roast beef & he really enjoyed that too. Friendly & prompt service all round give SB high marks! I sat on the chair against the wall & I do say it was such comfort there I could have stayed here having drinks & watched the football game till late. Wishing SB all the very best with this new pub & here's to hoping they can retain a great crew & not have high turnover that is part & parcel of the restaurant industry! Cheers to SB!

Right before new years, we thought We'd support local once…read moreagain and try a newly opened taphouse in our neighbourhood. We were seated very fast and service was with a smile. Ordered the buffalo mac n cheese with spicy doritos. My all-time fav beef dip and the prawn scampi. And of course, A pint of ice cold peach beer for myself. The Mac n cheese was amazingly cheesy. Nice chunks of buffalo chicken and topped with real spicy doritos. Served on a hot skillet, my son loved it. The beef dip was also great. Nicely toasted bread ( but not garlic toast) and filled generously with a mound of juicy shaved beef. Fries were a nice touch and complimented the meal well. Both were nicely seasoned and the au jus very tasty. My only comment is that they shoudnt have melted a piece of cheddar cheese on the beed as it defeats the purpose Of the au jus and garlic aioli. Without au jus, it was more like a cheese steak sandwich now. The shrimp scampi was the least favourite of all. The pasta was bland and under seasoned and so was the sauce. No capers around and did not help with giving the dish more flavour. The shrimps though were nicely cooked, plenty, and succulent. Again, our server was great. She was the only one working but tried her best to be efficient. Kudos to her! Overall, it was an average experience. I would still go back and sample the other stuff. For pub food, it was good and acceptable. Their covid protocols were good. Dividers between tables and masks everywhere...bartender too. Cheers! Happy eating!
