I was at this pub many years ago and the atmosphere has not change and nothing else either. The theme is a railroad pub of days long gone. There appears to be no updates that I was aware of. The waitress served 7 of us and she was really good. She was fast and the food came out quickly and everything that was ordered was correct. No errors anywhere. Huge variety of beer and quickly served. Many pubs gave 20 oz of beer and this one did not. I had the pemby Italian beef ragu. There was enough to feed a horse. In other words it was a lot. Really delicious and came hot. The bread was cooked and soft, not burnt and overly crispy. Good place to eat for a quick bite. read more

Pemberton Station Pub - Pemby Ragu - Sports Bars Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

Five stars if you're a looking for a laid back sports focused bar. They offer regular drink specials (mostly different taps or bottles of beer) and honestly have some of the best bar food I've had. Portions are always more than enough, ingredients are fresh and classics hold down the fort while they bring on new items to try. They've got awesome fish and chips and eggs benny's. Couple of classics are their baked garlic shrimp and pizza's! You can also count on an attentive bartender or server as most of them have been there for a very long time. A bonus is that you will never feel rushed! read more

The Pemby is a hidden gem. It is one of the few remaining local pubs on the North Shore. Walk in for a very chill time surrounded by folk either seated around the bar or upstairs shooting pool. need a quick shop? buy your choice of cold ones in the mini-takeaway shop located into the pub. The Pemberton is a spot for the people. Cheers to all the staff but a special shoutout to Sarah and Tarra for making my visits feel very welcomed. See you again! read more

Nice sports bar... like their outside old BC rail decoration. Food: We ordered wings and dried ribs both were awesome! looks like their chicken strips are very famous. Only a few craft beers were available on tap. Service: Clean, follow covid restriction, sanitize tables Parking: lots of parking available. Cozy pub, highly recommend. read more

Pretty mediocre bar. Service was slow. Only thing I liked is that it has good regulars. Also complaining about the service. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. I was looking for a new regular bar but I'll keep looking. read more

I was very recently at this establishment for a second time with a group of friends watching the latest UFC PPV. There are not many places to watch here in North Vancouver and this has quickly become our "go-to" location. It's cozy, every single TV in the establishment on fight night is onto the fight and people there are really into it. While the kitchen did get a little slow at times, due to the place being packed to the rafters, I found the staff to be attentive and doing there very best to keep things moving. The menu is extensive and they have some of the largest chicken strips I've had anywhere! I love the atmosphere here, it's small (get there early for a UFC fight to get a good view) and cozy just as a pub really should be. read more

Amazing food, good service and one of the best sports bars around. The chef makes great soups and always has four unique features every month. Cam says he can find any sports game you are looking for and put it anywhere in the pub for you. Every NFL game is played live. Live music Fridays as well! read more

I've been going to the Pemby, as it's affectionally referred to by those in the know, for almost a decade. It's my pub. It's my friends' pub. I know the manager, the waitresses bring me my preferred drink as soon as I sit down and I haven't had to look at the menu to pick my meal in years. It's not the hippest place in town, but it's got a great group of regulars and an even better menu. Seriously, for pub grub, this place is tops. It's not fancy, but it's always tasty. I have recommened their steak sandwich to everyone I know. Hell, even their fish & chips is better than Troll's which is saying something because the same guy owns both joints! There are LOTS of TVs, so whether or not you prefer basketball, golf, hockey or UFC, you're bound to find a screen to which you can affix your eyes while you enjoy the cozy atmosphere. And don't forget Music Bingo every Tuesday night! There's even a cold beer & wine store attached for your take-home pleasure. read more

Horrible service -- we love trying new places but the attitude from the server was left us shocked. We ordered but after her passive aggressive way of responding to a question about the menu, we cancelled and left. read more

The first cook in the The past 20 to cook my steak as asked for. Coo dues to the server for relaying my wishes and more to the cook for actually doing it. Also a word for the choices of what to include in the special. Roasted beets and yam... Yummy and healthy as well being seasonal. The creole shrimp with plenty of tasty sause that I am sure was house made from ingredients rather than add to the can process. A few craft beers were available on tap. I came here on a whim and was rewarded with great food and service. Cheers to the staff and owners. Making an effort with success. read more

Pemberton Station Pub - Wait until I was almost done so I could tell you how I liked it. Wow - Sports Bars Near Me - North Vancouver, British Columbia

horrible service, waitress hates her job expects tip for below average service and complains to customers about how if she doesn't get a tip she doesn't earn enough money. she need to find another job if she doesn't like the pay read more

I love the vibe of this place. Great place to hang out with friends. Although food and drinks are on the pricier side, they weren't bad. The waitress had a real attitude though. Service needs improvement. read more

I have lived in North Vancouver for 'a while' and have frequented this bar from the 80s (I think, it was a long time ago). Since 2006 my second wife and I have been going to this bar; it was very reasonable and both the glasses of beer and portions of food were generous. I good deal, all around. Although the Granville Island Beer is good, there was never much choice if you like beer on tap; but, the menu was impressive. The last 2 times we patronized this bar we were very disappointed. The beer is served in sleeves only (I think) and it is not cheep; I think I paid $7 for 12 oz. That is insulting. I am German and these small glasses are offensive. No self respecting German would buy a sleeve of beer if there was a larger glass to be had. Last night I had the Perogies on the 'feature' sheet.(Buffalo Bills). They were dreadful; worst Perogies I have ever had. I think I counted 6 - 8 Perogies; are you kidding me?! How much does it cost the bar to pile a few more Perogies on the plate?! I have never walked away hungry after eating a plate of Perogies, until now. I would have had the regular order of Perogies except the menu said contains bacon bits - I don't know what that is. Last time we ordered the nachos. What in the world happened to the massive plate of nachos you use to serve? We used to order the full plate to share and we could barely finish it. Now it is only enough for one person. What happened? Did you change ownership? We will not be coming back. read more

What a Gong show on Friday Feb 08! You see TV shows about places so poorly run but don't think you would ever see it in real life! Walked up to front door where Manager and server are loudly discussing that she can't be paid more than the other servers. A waitress served adjacent table 3x but did not take a drink order from our table so had to walk to bar to get a drink. After mediocre dinner with no quality check, our plates sat empty on table for 1/2 hour with no service so back to the bar to request the table be cleaned. Ten minutes later still no service so I carried dishes to the bar myself! Bartender says 'oh, thank you' and takes plates. Then we sat at table finished drinks - left after 10 mins. Not a word from manager or any staff - seriously this happened - what a train wreck. We left and went to Queens Cross and had a good service/time! read more

The Pemby is just awesome. They're always trying to make it better, too, and open to suggestions. They are by far the friendliest, coolest staff I've ever met and that goes a long way. Also the food and drink prices are great. They really try to keep the customer's costs down and it shows on the menu. Also, they have Buzztime/NTN (trivia, sports games, etc.)! Tons of fun. Always sports on many, many, TVs (I don't think there's a seat in the house where you can't see three or four TVs). If there's a game on that's available by satellite they've probably got it on somewhere. And if you want one that's not on, or want it on a different TV, all you have to do is ask. Tuesday is Music Bingo, they've always got the big fights on PPV (not in the parking lot), billiards upstairs and they always go out of their way to make you feel at home. They've also got TONS of really cool sports memorabilia on the walls. Awesome for everything from massive social events to just lunch! For all of these reasons and more intangible ones, my friends and I have become regulars at this character pub. Cheers! read more

Great place to drink and hang out. They have a very extensive food menu and the food tasted very good for being a pub. But they really need to hire better waitresses. The one that waited on us was very slow and forgetful. We ordered a pitcher of beer and it cost $31. But it was like a gallon. The halibut burger and clam chowder was very good. It was one of the better chowders I've had. I think it came out to be $20 for the two items. If I'm in the area, I would drink here again. read more

Use to come here a lot. The pub food is good and not super expensive. Not the greatest decor and could probably use a renovation. Decent burgers and fries! Drinks are also good here. I need to frequent this place more often. read more

Came here a year ago or so, during a down-hill biking trip at Whistler. We arrived in the evening just as the kitchens were about closing up. So I really got a taste of the atmosphere and the beer more than the food. This place was really chill. It had a big mountain cabin feel to it. And a nice outside area. We ended up roaming around the place freely.. While enjoying the local beer. And I just can't get over how cool that little upstairs area was with the pool tables.. With the tables being free, it was a fantastic area to meet new people through a game of pool! The beer was amazing! We had the "maple cream!" which is a seasonal local beer. I tried to find something like that in the states and failed epically. All around, this pub is awesome. I wish there were more like these! read more

Great pub in North Van, love the ambience of the place and has great service. Lots of tv's to watch sports, hang out with friends and enjoy great food. Had great fish and chips while I was there and would definitely go back there again. Can't miss it as the front has a train attached to it! read more

The Pemby is a great neighbourhood pub with super friendly staff, really good food (especially for the prices) with a fun atmosphere during sports events. Throughout the playoffs the Pemby was standing room only with drink specials, music bingo, and pucks handed out with players' numbers so if your Canuck scored you won a free beer. All-round great place! read more

Great pub with a real ski loungie thing going on. Large open space with high ceiling log cabin feel. Fireplace in the middle. A couple of pool tables up in the loft looking down to people watch. TVs everywhere. Staff is cool. Lots of outdoor seating. Of-sales as well. Food is very affordable comfort food style as well as regular bar food. Check it out. read more

So if you like to be surrounded by TVs all playing different channels, drink average beer and order bog standard food then this is the place for you. The waitresses are actually really nice as is the bar staff so thats a good point. The menu is big but my halibut burger was mediocre at best and the half fries and salad with it were more like a few fries with bits of lettuce. The pub isn't pretentious, just a down to earth working mans joint so I got what I expected. Again nice staff. read more

Wow! I've been to this place lots since it's in a convenient location. Service was lousy this time. Waitress had a real attitude. She obviously couldn't handle our small group. I will have to think twice before returning. Food was only mediocre. Prices were average. Obviously management is either stuck for employees or needs to think about more training. read more

This spot is decent for beers, pub food and loads of sports. i don't think i've ever seen so many TV's in one bar in my life. my friends had the burgers and i had the fajita's. i think their burgers looked better. beer isn't cheap but it's not expensive, around $15 for a pitcher. read more

I've noticed that there are not alot of sports bars in Canada... What's with that? People obviously like hockey, don't they watch it in public places? I'm not a fan, but during the football season, you can find me here, usually in the company of strangers, since none of my friends care about the NFL. The people are chill, staff and customer alike... They have lots of TV's in every direction, so I can watch all the games at once. That's a plus. They have lots of delicious grub, and anything you could possibly want to drink. For those of you who don't drink, or at least don't like to drink and drive, they have the largest selection of non-alcoholic beer I've seen anywhere. read more

Sports fan? New to town? Music lover? This is the pub for you! The staff and clients are the friendliest I've ever encountered and being a rabid sports fan, the bazillion TVs they have enable everyone to watch any and all sporting event imaginable. The DJ they have on Friday nights (DJ Old Skool) knows EVERYTHING there is to know about music and will play anything you request. Old and new. The promotions that Cam (GM) runs on a regular basis are fun and engaging and the prizes are incredible. Music bingo on Tuesday nights is a blast and great for groups! Poker nights on Wednesdays are fun for both the novice as well as the seasoned players. There is always a reason to come here! I suggest you do so soon! You won't be sorry. read more

Best sports bar in BC. Very friendly and great food. One of the best places to watch any hockey game, NFL or NCAA game even when not on regular TV. They also show all UFC with no cover. If your a sports lover, this is your bar. read more

Love this down-to-earth neighborhood joint! The service is always laid back but friendly and helpful. And their veggie burger is to die for. Has that real char-grilled flavor. The side salad that comes with it is consistently fresh too; not that wilty stuff that so often gets served at pubs. Quesadillas are also quite good and cheesy. Very spacious and never crowded so you can get a good seat away from other patrons if you desire or shoot some pool in the upstairs section on non-busy evenings. read more

We both ordered the blackened burgers last night and the burgers were phenomenal made fresh with real beef patties and fresh produce they were awesome and can't wait to have another burger soon. read more

Expensive sleeves of beer, first sleeve was flat, got another which was ok, good wings ($13), but hostile waitress. Would not return.

Maybe they just like the regulars but waitress was hostile and unhelpfull. First beer was totally flat, and second was skunky. Avoid this place. Many better places for a brew in North Van read more

Absolutely the worst service one can ever image. Salads take hours to come up - waitresses are complete trash and extremely rude - talk back and argue. Salad leaves were red and chicken was cold and burnt! Never going back - people should stay away from this grimy place! TRASH TRASH TRASH!!!! read more

this place looks busy and 4 of us decided to go and check it out. service needs some work but its not bad. girls are very kind and nice but not too friendly. the food is average and we realy did not like the semi cold beer that we got. but i guess its good for game nights. read more
