This pub has a nice environment, with some arcade games, pool and sometimes they have a karaoke night. Great place for beers and food. They have great burgers and great options for beers. Their customer service is great as well, they are super friendly and helpful! read more

5/5 for a Nazi Bar! I wear a Star of David necklace. I just came here to play pool with a friend on a weeknight after dinner nearby. This guy started yelling "heil hitler" and doing the salute multiple times when he saw us. I asked him if he was a fan of hitler and he doubled down and became even more aggressive - including spitting at me. Apparently he's a regular and the staff were reluctant to throw him out. If these are the regulars I'm never coming back. Didn't know Vancouver had a nazi bar. read more

Just put it this way Walked in then walked out. Dirty run down pub . seats with ripped seats dark and dingy. Foul mouthed people swearing and cussing. No bartender. Do Not go there read more

I don't drink, but I came in to hang out with my brother and cousin while they played pool on the table in the back. While sitting here, I witnessed the bartender take multiple shots with different tables. Even for a "dive bar", I did not find this place to be enjoyable. read more

Game one Stanley Cup final. 1 beer per period. Get off your phones people and do your jobs! The table of 3 seated next to us went the entire third period without any service whatsoever. read more

Service if any is horrendous and they don't give a shit,I don't understand always on there cell phones spending more time behind the bar in groups of 3 wtf. read more

This used to be Avanti's. I am happy to report that I was greeted right away. They had a vast beer selection and a huge TV. The Canucks were playing against the Capitals and were losing pretty bad. I got the Nachos and they were OK. I was somewhat disappointed that there was no meat on the Nachos but hey they were only $14. My server was friendly enough and even though it was a slow Monday this bar hit the spot. read more

See all

Such a dump. Miserable staff, food is gross. And whoever "Nani" is should seek another career path.

My sister and I came here for lunch . Was barely greeted, and served drinks in dirty cups. Customer service was very bad . Waitress barely even acknowledged us while there. Walked out, won't be back . read more

I'm just going to make a couple of suggestions. Don't put out a sign that says to wait to be seated unless you actually watch to see if anyone is waiting. Also, the customers would appreciate it if a menu was anywhere in sight. And repeat after me: "What can I get you?" Seating customers then ignoring them is not the idea. read more

I come out once in a while. Food is good, priced right. But the service. Come on folks, i know it's slow in the daytime, but at least instruct your servers to get off their phone and run the meals. Food sat 5 mins under heat lamp while server poked at her phone. I was almost tempted to walk over and grab it. Then, i finish my lunch, server poking at her phone. Wait a bit more, get up, walk to bar to pay. No acknowledgement - phone poking is still going on. So, called her over, left a shitty tip, and went back to work. Get off the phone folks. read more

They have decided to make up their own 'house rules' which is illegal. They would not accept my statement of medical exemption and rudely refused entry. If I hadn't been with a friend, I would have pressed the matter. So we walked out. The manager here has always been rather unfriendly and on a high horse despite the fact that this is supposedly a casual friendly neighbourhood bar. How hard is it to accommodate people who are unable to wear masks when they are just going to be sitting down anyway? And everyone knows the virus can't attack when you're sitting down! LOL. Get a grip Junior's and recognise you are not above the law. read more

Wow! Finally back to it's old Avanti's roots (for those from the hood that know what was there back in the day!). For everyone else: after going through a few makeovers that involved hipster pinball and overpriced US beers, it's finally back to what the Drive needed all along: a cheap place to drink beer and watch the game. But it's more than that. The food is very good, especially when you consider the price. I was there on a Monday night and the special was their burger for - wait for it - $7!!!! Crazy! I splurged an extra buck for cheese and man was it a good burger. The fries were amazing too. Beers were $5 a pint. Left full after two beers and a burg for less than $20. Insane. Finally, a place that does it right. read more

Atmosphere: medium - enough seating inside Customer service: friendly. Price: market value. Food: i came here for some nachos were were made decently. good ratio of chips and cheese and toppings. read more

Junior's hosted a pub night fundraiser for our youth soccer team. Very easy to work with given our needs--we had a dj come in, a silent auction, raffle, and other events, plus food and drink at a reasonable price. Food was good, drinks were good, and they hosted quite a good party. Staff were fantastic. Definitely be there again! read more

Adam should be not be part of this culture. That was embarrassing. Wouldn't be accommodating for regulars. Only worries about up selling your drinks and final sales. Terrible service all around read more

My first foray out into the Phase 2 world of Corvid-19. Sign in. Guided to a table. Place is clean. Beer cold, food good. Staff friendly. Good spacing. Thanks Juniors. read more

I've come here for a number of years and never had bad service until tonight 2 servers for a full bar is ridiculous management here are complete morons in 3 hours I got served 2 pints of beer no tip for the service I received read more

Went there for drinks on the weekend. The food was disgusting and your servers were horrendous. Absolutely no customer service skills and too focused having conversations with co workers to even give us some menus. Noticed a big group at the upper level we harassed by a tall white male who seemed to be a manager yelling at the poor girl and her fiends about taking her tables bc her friends were 10 min late? It was so unprofessional and I am not coming back because my girlfriend and I were treated the same, served slowly and so offended the way your workers you hire treat customers who are paying for you to keep this place open. I recommend not going there and maybe walk a block down to other bars if your on the drive!! read more

I really appreciate how well the staff look to make your experience safe and fun ! The staff are professional and incredibly accommodating to all the regulars they see everyday. read more

Door host / male server was unbelievably obnoxious & rude for no reason right off the bat. The female server who took over was better but still walks away as you're speaking. Food was just ok. Service in general TERRIBLE. Go literally anywhere but here unless it's a desperate situation. Was in on a Friday and drunk people were just wandering about table to table. When I think of this place I just think of how embarrassing that 40 something year old dude in a hoodie was behaving as an employee, get real. You work in a form of customer service and forget these people you're so rude to are keeping you afloat during these times. read more

This review that says it's from Jeff Las is mine Andrew Cee not his review and I speak for the whole table and they know who we are.

Sports pub on commercial drive with hd tv's. They have a pool table and skeetball, which is sick. Use to have to walk down to tobys for that experience. read more

Great service for a sports bar on the drive! Has varieties of craft beer if that's your thing and the price point for the food is really good! Follows pandemic rules when they are in effect across the province. Friendly service all around from the staff. There is a keno machine and screens to watch keno and pacific holdem. Reservations can be made but generally for ufc fight nights is first come first serve. Sells off sales. read more

I love how nice and awesome my waitress was, the food is great and the prices are good. Good vibes with the pool table there and the big TVs

Crappy crappy crappy place! Took 20 minutes to get our first beer and the place was empty. I literally walked up to the bar and picked up our beers and brought it to our table. The. Our fries were sitting at the window for 8 minutes. I literally went and picked them up. Asked for the bill, paid and left never to go back. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would, but the option is not available. I want to express my extreme dissatisfaction, disappointment and disgust with Juniors on Commercial Dr. I want to start this review by mentioning that I have been frequenting this establishment for numerous years (Formerly Avanti's) . Many evenings have been spent there having a bite and beverages. Over the last year or so, the food, the service and the overall atmosphere in this place is NO longer what It once was. A friend and I decided to stop by to watch the UFC last Saturday. Now the food at juniors is so repulsive (Funky beef patties, Powdered mash potatoes and gravy, burnt nachos and can't forget the diarrhea that accompanied the beef dip), that we decided to go eat before our entrance at Jr's. Even with the precautions we took food wise, we still managed to have a Sub Par experience. The bar was busy as expected due to the fights and the sandwich board outside read "standing room still available" so we went in with low expectations to begin with. We are locals and ran into a table of acquaintances who were watching the fights also. They called us over to say hi and have a drink which was taken with such attitude plus we waited 30 mins for our bev. The server was extremely rude, pushing and shoving patrons and telling us to "MOVE, MOVE IT, Im gonna spill all this shit all over you!" I was shocked and appalled at the disrespect I was witnessing and subjected to. To make things worse, I was ordering doubles and we asked ourselves if there was even any alcohol in the drinks because they tasted like straight soda. We watched the fights, and requested our bill. Upon delivery on the bill, the server surprised us with her finishing move... the 18% Auto gratuity.. stating that because our party was 6+, we were subject to it. I was truly disgusted! No wonder the lack of customer service, The Tip will be Added to your Bill no matter what!! I will NEVER frequent this bar again EVER!. We left without even a Buzz after being billed $150. Do yourself a favour and do not spend your hard earned money on shit Food, watered down drinks and beyond poor service. Nobody deserves this and I can't wait until they close their doors. We will be better off! If this review stops one person from experiencing what I did I will be content. That's my rant for today!! See you down the street !! read more

By far the worst experience in recent memory. I'm not that upset but I do feel embarrassment for this establishment. I use to be a regular here when I lived in the area, it was called Avantis then and was a great little watering hole. Whoever took over just ran it into the ground. I walked in to eat yesterday, very busy due to the UFC fights. I asked the waitress (young first nations girl) if I could order and she said no, not unless I was sitting somewhere in a harsh tone. I initially dismissed the rudeness as it was a bit busy so I understand things can get stressful. Some fine young ladies noticed my predicament (and rudeness) and offered me a seat at their table. At that point I asked the server if I could order and she freaked out yelling "I'm really busy, NO! Go order at the bar!" my jaw dropped! The ladies at the table flagged down another server (young blonde girl) who politely took my order. The food arrived surprisingly fast although I wish I had never ordered the calamari. Absolutely disgusting. It appeared it had been fried in used motor oil and cooked for an hour! Usually served with tsatziki sauce but this was something none of us at the table could figure out. Maybe mouldy, rancid ranch? The other food was OK. The rest of the night was split between watching the big screen and watching the table next to us get mistreated, not sure what was more entertaining to be honest. The fist server (young first nations girl) was starting fights with the entire top level of customers yelling she just wanted to make her money! Money this, money that, evidently she was addicted to "money". I still can't believe it didn't turn into a brawl! Then some tall guy (manager maybe) who seemed to be more concerned about his manicure than his customers got into the action. He was in full "bitch" mode for no apparent reason. Seemed like he fed off of drama. Again, very lucky he wasn't slapped. Bottom line: poorly run and managed establishment, rude and incompetent staff, food is a gamble, you may get a good batch or you may be running to the washrooms. Highly NOT recommended! The locals don't even go there anymore. (*personal experience: I've managed many restaurants, some very high profile and I eat out 2-3 times a day [unfortunately]) read more

There was Avanti's. It was what it was. Jalapeno poppers, Budweiser, ugly carpeting and sadness. On a bright, sunny Sunday old men sat in dark, dim silence at the bar, nursing Molson products and stewing in regret. Then it wasn't Avanti's anymore. It was the same shape and size but it was all covered in a layer of shiny concrete and glass and live-edge wood for some reason. And skeetball! And it was really trying to be cool and it was like your weird friend got plastic surgery and a spiffy new tracksuit but the weirdness was still lurking just below the surface. Then the place became something else again -- something that nobody remembers but it existed and if you ask google they will probably know and tell you. Now it is Junior's and it still has some of the shiny stuff but it's kind of like Avanti's again. Like, your friend with the plastic surgery went back to her old boyfriend, who she swore she was done with forever. After all that effort at reinvention! But... if people need a place for a better priced beer and simple pub fare, who the hell do I think I am to cast judgement? What a jerk! Go on in and imagine this place as it once was. The ghosts still peer from the corners. If you listen carefully, you can hear their tears. read more
