Peter was phenomenal, he let us sample some brews, and we opted for a blend of a cider and breakside beer, he was very attentive, which were delicious! I do wish their music was a bit louder as with everyone talking it echos. Food menu is very limited, I'm assuming it's because they're still new? I hope they expand! I will be back, as the vibe is great!

They have decent indoor and outdoor seating. You're right against the sidewalk, so there is some great people watching while you're visiting. Their beers are vast. Now, to be fair, I don't do a lot of beer drinking. We all know I like my martinis so beers are few and far in between. We did share a flight when we stopped in last... they had some great IPA options which was great for me - I prefer an IPA. The flight was good. There wasn't a beer I didn't like. The food options are limited. Not where we'd aim to go have dinner... now a nice beer before dinner downtown, sure, it's a place to land. Service is always friendly and prices are fair.

The brisket was a little dry but good pieces. I like the fatty kind. The atmosphere was a happy place. They had a great bar with all kinds of bourbon.

The atmosphere was warm and inviting, paired with truly fabulous service that made the whole evening even better. I had the Texas Trio, while my spouse enjoyed the brisket sandwich--both were rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Compliments to the chef for letting the meat speak for itself... simple, authentic, and downright delicious! If you're looking for a laid-back spot with great food and drinks, come mosey up to the bar and treat yourself--you won't regret it!

I went to yelp and was looking for somewhere to go and Brothers Cascadia stood out with all their options. The steak sando and the chicken sando both looked great so we ordered one of each and shared - boy they hit the spot! This is such a fun spot! A good balance of a neighborhood pub but also a place I could bring my kiddo and enjoy a basket of fries. Everyone on the staff was so friendly too. I look forward to coming back.

He enjoys playing dj with his curated music, which also had merit, but again was too loud for a weekday lunch. I'm not an old fart, (I think he and I were close to the same age) but old enough to have lost some hearing in my youth, and it was still a bit loud. The pork rinds were good, surprisingly generous and tasted very fresh. I liked the Tajin on them, but would have preferred it to be an option (shaker on the table) rather than just full coverage. I would have shared them, but the person I was dining with doesn't care do the spice. I ordered the bbq bacon cheeseburger with the sauce on the side and it was a generous portion, that was well-cooked. Just the way I ordered it! That being said, the beef was relatively tasteless and the whole sandwich was extremely greasy. The bacon on the sandwich was plentiful and not as greasy as the burger and cheese. I don't know the fries would be seasoned. It may or may not have been on the menu, I honestly can't recall. The place seemed well kept and customer oriented, food service wise, but the ambiance could be dialed down for the lunch crowd. If there was an alternate burger available nearby, I might not give Brothers a second chance. But I can't hate on it. Just a few too many flaws for the price, which was not cheap. Paying over $5 for a Mexican Coke was pretty steep since I didn't see any fountain options. But lastly, too be fair, the bartender was VERY kind!

Pop-Local is a fantastically curated, and located, gift shop celebrating all things PNW, and Vancouver in particular, though not exclusively: greater Washington and Oregon are well-represented here as well. Like most tourist-oriented gift shops, you'll find local foods, drinks, treats, snacks, spices and other consumables; clothing, apparel and accessories; home décor items, cards and artwork; and likely plenty more items I managed to overlook. As a life-long local, growing up in this small town that was once nothing more than a speed bump on the way to bigger, better and more exciting places, it's kinda wild that the O.G. Vancouver now has its own souvenir shop. Just goes to show what a little local pride, and a whole lot of planning and investment, can do to revive what was once a no-go zone along the waterfront, and Pop-Local, as the first flagship of this new and improved 'Couve, is doing us proud!

Unfortunately, the Vancouver location has been a completely different experience. The first time we came with a larger group, we waited about 30 minutes just to be acknowledged. Staff kept walking around without even recognizing that we (and others behind us) were waiting. We decided to give it another try, but the second visit was just as disappointing. We ended up leaving because we didn't want to keep waiting with no communication. The third time, I finally spoke up because no one was acknowledging us again. Eventually someone came and seated us, but things didn't improve. We waited a long time at the table, and when the server finally came, many of the items we saw online were no longer available. Instead, there were completely different options. Also, while we were waiting, we spoke with a group of girls behind us who said they had experienced the same issue multiple times and had even left before because of it. So it's clearly not just us. Overall, this has been the worst experience we've had at any of their locations. It's really disappointing because we know how great this place can be. Hopefully, with more people sharing feedback, something will change. The Vancouver location seriously needs to improve its service--I don't see how this level of customer care is acceptable.

Lexi was running the show, and it was genuinely impressive to watch. She treated every customer with warmth and attentiveness while somehow keeping everything moving seamlessly behind the scenes. Even during the quieter moments, she stayed busy, focused, and engaged with the space around her. That kind of work ethic and customer care stands out. The coffee itself was unique and memorable; not your average coffee shop experience, and the zucchini bread was off the charts! Add in the great ambience and welcoming atmosphere, and this place is an easy recommendation.
