I've been to King Taps a handful of times now apart from having gone to the one in Toronto and I would say it's an elevated Cactus Club with a really pretty view. This is a great place for casual hang outs and quick dates. It's a bit far out in Lonsdale, but I would go out of my way for the views especially in the summer time! The servers are all really nice and they do a great job to communicating with each other to get customers in and up the stairs to their table. For this time, we came in with a group of 6 people and shared a bunch of appetizers and pizzas. I tried the new truffle pasta and although the meatballs were a bit salty, the pappardelle was yummy! King Taps is also quite well known for their delicious pizzas. I've tried a few pizzas in the past and they were quite good, but this time I tried the rotator pizza (vodka pie) and the mac daddy (big mac inspired pizza). The vodka pie was a bit too salty for me, but the mac daddy was interesting and refreshing to try! A lot of people in my group liked the vodka pie as it was something different as well. As always, you can't go wrong with truffle fries and brussels sprouts. I think I like King Taps a little more than Cactus Club as they have more of my preferred variety in the menu. You're not coming here for gourmet food, but you can definitely get solid bites and a solid time with loved ones. If I recall, their happy hour is also unbeatable - $7 cocktails, food starting at $7 and $5 beer/well highballs. King Taps is definitely a go to spot! read more

Our family enjoyed the best meal we've had so far on our Vancouver trip at Kings Tap, and we're already planning to come back. First, we were seated quickly upon arrival, even though the restaurant looked busy for a Tuesday night. The servers were personable and genuinely kind, which set the tone for the rest of our dinner. The appetizers and drinks came out quickly, and both the chicken wings and calamari were some of the best we've ever had. Most calamari is served with tartar or marinara sauce, but their version came with a much more elevated yuzu sauce. Delicious! The mains were beautifully plated and tasted even better. The salmon had a light, balanced seasoning and was perfectly cooked, not dry at all. The steak and peri peri chicken were well seasoned as well, with a seared crust and moist interior. My daughter loved the pasta, too. For dessert, we ordered the Cloud 9, which was perfectly named. It was a banana cake drizzled with sauce and topped with ice cream, whipped cream, and fresh bananas. We're already planning what to order on our next visit because the menu had so many other items we definitely want to try. This was the best meal we've had in Vancouver, and we highly recommend it. read more

Can you imagine a pizza inspired by a Big Mac? Sounds interesting, or is there no way you'd ever try it? Well, I'll tell you what I think, because I just tried one last weekend at King Taps. ​When you first look at the Mac Daddy pizza, you might wonder what part of it is actually a Big Mac. Aside from the crust, the only color you really see is green. But looks can be deceiving: hidden underneath the crunchy lettuce and pickles is creamy American cheese sauce, savory ground beef, and, of course, King Taps' famously fantastic, golden, crispy crust. So, how does a Big Mac-inspired pizza sound to you now? read more

Came here for the very first time to meet some friends and grab some food and drinks. The staff was extremely friendly and Julie our waitress was amazing. The place also had a great and fun vibe and it was beautifully designed with an upstairs as well as a downstairs. I ordered off the happy hour menu and got the salty dog as my drink which was amazing. Then for food orders the chicken tacos, and beef Gyoza. The drink and beef gyoza were great however I didn't love the chicken tacos' flavor. Overall great restaurant, fun, beautiful and has the friendliest staff. read more

Came by for a Friday night happy hour - there was a little bit of a wait and we got seated at the bar. Ambiance was lively and some parts of the bar have a nice view of the city. Drinks were solid and the appetizers we got were OK. I just wanted to write a quick review to give a shoutout to the great service from our server (and the other ladies) at the bar. We were just there for a casual happy hour and the awesome service helped cap off the night on a good note. Hope to be back! read more

Had a gals dinner during the week at King Taps and we had a great time. The location is excellent and I can only imagine in the summer it will be bumpin! I ordered a dirty Gin Martini and a couple of glasses of wine. The martini was excellent, and got my 3 olives. The reds I had were also tasty and easy sippers. For my meal I got the Spicy Rigatoni and I added Fennel sausage for more $ and honestly it was one of the better pastas I've had in a long time! Great cheese distro and the sauce was excellently seasoned! Noodles were al dente and the sausage was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to be honest! I thought it might be basic but exceeded my expectations! I took it for lunch the next day and reheated it was delicious! Service was really lovely too, we were waiting to give our drink orders for a touch longer but after that, service was really attentive. Ambience wise, it's similar to that of a cactus club or earls, nothing really unique to it but it's comfortable. I would go back to king taps if I find myself on the nshore again. read more

King Taps - Spicy rigatoni with fennel sausage - Lounges Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

Haven't been to Lonsdale Quay for awhile so it's good to see a few new places. We came here after walking around the pier and area. The place was already packed at 1130am. We got a booth that can probably fit 6 people but we had 3 ( 2 and a baby ). Our server was great, she was super friendly, smiling and energetic. We got a few dishes: hummus dip, Malibu club and saladita bowl. The hummus and the bowl was a little salty but it could be that we don't usually put too much salt in our food due to our little one. We try to limit our salt as our 1 yr old likes to eat our food. The bowl had a little spice to it and does has a good variety if ingredients. It is flavorful so for others it will definitely be to your liking. The Malibu club was delicious . If you have a stroller, you will park it beside the stairs. There were 3 strollers there. read more

Loved the ambience of this place. Took the ferry across to the island and stayed for happy hour. Fot ourselves some tummy pizza and beers. The beers were light and crisp and they had some in house ones which are a must try. The pizza tasted good too though it was a tad oily. We sat on the patio and the ambience was amazing. Cool and sunny at the same time, nice open space with ocean view. A nice afternoon spend when in Vancouver. read more

great ambiance, clean, overlooking the waterfront. This place has been open only since may 2025. We were quickly seated and greeted when we came for lunch. The Kona pizza slapped so hard!!! Buttery and crispy crust with great flavors, we added creamy Calabrian parm and jalapeño ranch which augmented the flavor of the pizza. Literally one of the best pizza we've had!! We also had the burrata and prosciutto and OMG how is their local preserve so delicious?!!! It was so sweet and compliments the burrata and prosciutto well! We also had the calamari. It was so lightly battered and crispy and hot The whole experience was wonderful and left us wanting more! read more

Service was very good on this sunny afternoon! The atmosphere inside is aesthetic and clean. We shared the yuzu the tataki with really balanced flavors. I only wish there were more pieces! I got the salmon with fennel salad. The salad was so good I'm going to try to make it at home! Even the rice with the dish was flavorful and delightful. read more

Pretty decent spot right in the heart of Lonsdale quay. Two levels and a gorgeous patio overlooking the water and amazing skyline. They have quite a good menu - from appies to pastas to salads and burgers etc. I shared the Korean chicken with my friend, and then had the crispy sushi and a side of fries. So delicious! Service was wonderful and the space itself is gorgeous. Definitely a spot I want to come back to. read more

We've been there as a group of 4 to order different things to share and taste. We order KOREAN CHICKEN, CRISPY SUSHI, SPICY VODKA RIGATONI, and Wild Thing Pizza. My favorites are Rigatoni and pizza; everything is so tasty and well-prepared. We also ordered CLOUD 9 and CARAMEL CHOCOLATE MOUSSE TRIO, tasted so good but on the heavier side, I'm not a very sweet tooth person. Service and Atmosphere are good, with friendly staff. read more

Visited during happy hour just because it was on the water with a cool view, it was happy hour, and wet wanted sharable food instead of a meal. The vibe is like a high energy date spot. Lots of TVs, dimly lit, loud music, the smell of Aventus wafting by... nothing wrong with it, but might not be for everyone. I was actually slightly dressed up and was wearing a nice cologne to feel cleaned up after a week of riding bikes, so I blended in. The food and drinks were fine. The wait staff seems to be on top of it. Worth visiting if you're looking for a night out on the waterfront. read more

Was able to get bar seating with my friend on a busy friday night! The interiors were really nice and super friendly staff. We came in super hungry so we got the spicy pepperoni pizza and a spaghetti carbonara. For drinks, my friend and I got the white sangria. The portions for the food was so big, I was only able to eat half! The drinks were so good as well and our server was really energetic. I definitely will come here next time for their happy hour. read more

King Taps has been open since june of twenty twenty five, and it's already a very popular place in the community. Tonight's visit is a wednesday and we, uh, we're in at five thirty.And by the time six o'clock arrived, every table was full, mostly were reservations. HuhWe were recommended the pizzas by friends who had been before and they were spot on. I had the barbecue chicken pizza and my girlfriend had the bee something pizza. Both are really tasty. We like the crust. It has some oil, but it's salty and savory.And lovely. The bathrooms are a neat setup with a shared sink. And private stalls. They have sort of an open patio upstairs, which was really nice. We got to hang out at lots of seating, very friendly staff. Nice and clean and fresh just like the ingredients they use. If you're down at the Quay, it's very well worth the visit. read more

We all got pizzas and they were the perfect size for 1 person if you want to have a couple pieces leftover! We went on a Thursday night and it was packed but they do have a lot of tables to accommodate everyone. Love the view of the water from this restaurant. Great place to watch the sunset and walk around after! read more

our server was excellent and helped make the night very enjoyable. the food was excellent overall, although the gluten free pizza was not as good as others that my son has had. ambiance is great with great views to Vancouver. The upstairs was really. We have eaten downstairs as well which is a bit more loud and lively. read more

The food and drinks were really spot on, and they do an excellent happy hour. I tried the Salty Dog, which is an incredible easy to drink cocktail. Really balanced, I reordered. Wine list is great, and at happy hour - you can't beat wines at half price. Great value. The tuna crispy sushi was so good, the tomato really rounds things out nicely, excellent quality tuna, and there's a soy glaze that is really lovely. The calamari was shockingly excellent. Just salty, spicy, crispy, and tender enough. An easy reorder for me. The truffle fries were addictive, when they first came I was worried they wouldn't be great because the fries are thicker cut - but it surprised me. Our whole table was fighting over them. Again, a very balanced taste, and enough salt. Not an overwhelming amount of truffle, just enough, and excellent quality cheese. The brussel sprouts had an excellent char and great dipping sauce. The meatballs were tender, the sauce nice and acidic, high quality cheese once again with some basil to round things out. Ceasar salad was great - loved the breadcrumbs on it, the dressing was excellent, the herbs made it really fresh too. I love a little gem salad so this was a standout. The spicy vodka rigatoni was delicious - cheese was so creamy, it was the perfect amount of spice (a kick but not overwhelming) and overall a vibe. I had a bite of pizza, I don't recall which one but it had sausage. Really yummy, and the crust was crisp yet lots of nice chew on the inside. Service is attentive, and the ambiance shifts depending on where you sit. Outside on the patio, spectacular views and a summer vibe. Inside, it can either be relaxed casual, or if there's a game on, more of a "bar" feel in the main dining room. Would return, was very impressed with this spot. read more

Me and my friends visited King Taps in North Vancouver for our friends birthday on July 8th. It had just opened and we wanted to try it out as the reviews have been pretty good. The day we went, it was raining so everyone was inside. We ended up being seated downstairs by a window; the place was packed. (I do recommend making a reservation) I ordered the Meatball Trio to start and it was simply amazing! For my entrée I had their Notorious Pizza and it was soooo goodl! My friends ordered their starters and meals as well and they also said how good everything was (I didn't get pictures of their food orders) We then each ordered one of their desserts to share and it was heavenly! The brownie is so good, but very rich! We are not drinkers so I was pleased they had Coke Zero as this is my go to Sugar Free Drink! Our waitress was Fiona and she was incredible! Very friendly and helpful! My only complaint was that is was very loud & noisy! It was hard to hear each other, but this could be because everyone was inside and it was pretty busy! I really enjoyed the food and the location is great! Highly recommend and I will go back for sure! read more

This was my first time here, we sat upstairs and the view overlooking the Vancouver Harbour was beautiful. The service was great as was the food and drinks. I also really liked their online menu as there are photos for virtually everything on the menu. read more

Great Happy Hour deals. Great food, service and ambiance. Calamari, pizza and korean chicken are great.

We went for lunch on Sunday, October 26. The food, service and ambiance were terrific. We asked for suggestions from the menu and the server was very knowledgeable, and she directed us to delicious items on the menu which we appreciated. Overall, a great experience. read more

Skip it. It has become obvious that choosing a restaurant is all about who can re-heat Gordon's food service dishes the best thisnos no exception. I tried the pizza and it was a grease pit. We had an appt and made a mess of the table as we were not given plates or cutlery. Go elsewhere. read more

Views are beautiful and the restaurant is busy. We went at lunch time with family and I was quite disappointed in the level of service and poor attention to allergies. If you are celiac or gluten intolerant, think twice about going to King Taps. No gf fryer and way too much cross contamination in the kitchen. read more

The food was absolutely spectacular, I wanted to give 5 stars but the waiter we had was terrible, we rarely were acknowledged, he was busy chatting at nearby tables. The views were great as well. Would definitely go back if service was better. read more

Yummy food, great view, and good service! Will definitely be coming back in the future.

Tamara and Wyatt - our servers were great! View and location is amazing - pizza, burrata, and Brussels sprouts were all delicious. I know you just opened but well done. read more

We had a reservation, but were not seated until 15 minutes later. We then waited at our table for quite a while for a server. We ordered our drinks, appetizers, and meals. The drinks came right away, appetizers were quite a bit later. We had the chicken wings and brussels sprouts which were both delicious. Our mains came and the table was still not cleared from the appetizer plates, so it was quite crowded. Finally, someone came to clear it , but we still had to wait a while for fresh cutlery. They seemed understaffed. Two of us ordered the bolo and we both sent it back. It was very dry and had crunchy hard bits. I think maybe we got the bottom of the pot. One of our group had the chicken tacos which had a huge pile of the pickled cabbage on top. A little bit would've been OK, but there was more cabbage than anything else. Overall, disappointing as we have been looking forward to trying the restaurant. If we had stuck with the drinks and appetizers, it would have been a better rating. Nice ambiance and location. read more
