Every time I'm here the food is good, the service is great and karaoke is a great time

BEST place in Vancouver for playing and watching people play pool. BEST place in Vancouver for karaoke(every night at 8), BEST place in Vancouver for a friendly and fun atmosphere. Also, a good menu with excellent tacos at a fair price. Adequate parking just off of Fourth Plain East of Andresen. read more

I enjoy this bar. But why does it always smell like someone took a fat dump in there... like, everytime. Is your sewage system ok? I literally cant stomach it sometimes and im forced to leave or sit outside the whole time. read more

I have been coming here for almost 10 years. Both regularly, and ill-regularly. This place is the complete package. Whether you want to come in for a drink after work, or to drink away your demons on a Saturday night. This is the place. Staff will always take care of you, and are very very fair and lenient. They are also just as quick to reestablish a safe bar environment, if someone or something gets out of hand. The food is bomb too, and they do fried stuff I even after the main kitchen closes. read more

On November 23,2025, I met a friend at the spot who was having trouble in a living situation and needed someone to talk to. We sat at the short end of the bar by the door. The bartender was great. We had some beers and talked about his problem and solutions. We then left. About 30 minutes later the friend he was having problems with sent him pictures him and I at the bar and mentioned things we had talked about. This person is 86'd and cannot come into the bar so it wasn't her. Then we looked at the angle of the shot and realized it was the cook on duty. She knows the lady was is 86'd and took our pictures and reported to her a private conversation while on duty. It ended up making a bad situation between my friend and her far worse than it would have been. It's just shocking to me that someone working would think it's okay to take pictures of customers and cause problems. Needless to say I won't be back. I'm not sure what else this cook is capable of while on the clock read more

Good food, great service and the owner Alan is a genuinely great guy. I'll be coming back for more! read more

We love stopping in during the summer time to grab a nice, refreshing drink. We stopped in last night for steak bites and some mixed drinks and the service was horrible. The older lady serving us was someone I'd never seen there before. She the short older lady with glasses, and was rude and very snappy. Never once came by to check on us the whole time and we had to go up to her when we needed something. It wasn't even busy when we were so I'm not sure why she didn't bother to come check on us and see if we needed anything else after we ordered food and drinks the first time. Ended up leaving and going to a diff bar. read more

Need an event list. Great dance floor just needs more live music and/ or a DJ. People there are very friendly.

Got invited here with friends for pool tables. Bouncer nice! Crowd little younger and some middle aged. Bartenders Super Rude! Two girls with long black hair. I get it that COVID-19 aka my opinion (just another flu) Has made people lazy! Due to places not being open but Supposedly we are going back to kind of normal. The fact one of the girls tried to argue she's had a long day and that's why she's being so rude. I'm sorry not sorry that is not an excuse for me to be treated with such disrespect. This is inexcusable and I just had to express it! I will not be returning here. Dive bar or not. Keep those unprofessional workers away! One more thing. She gave me an eye roll and flipped her hair while walking away. So classy! read more

Garbage! They sell you a premium drink but use shit alcohol in a Tito's bottle. They say they refill it. Bullshit. No one does that! Don't go here! read more

Best dive bar! Great bar food and cheap drinks. They have karaoke and pool. The service is okay.

this my favorite dive bar at the moment . it's an amazing place to go and people watch lol . there are lots of interesting characters doing karaoke . the staff is very sweet and the food is pretty decent ! read more

Friendly folks. Always enjoy a BLT there. Drinks are tasty too! Every time we get car maintenance we walk over

Nice little spot. Drinks are good priced and service was great. Pool tables and a decent size place. I was already drunk when I got here so I don't remember much lol. read more

Came in for taco Tuesday, we expected the tacos to be $1 each, as per a previous review. Bartender was not interested in us. We asked about the tacos available and were told only the ground beef were the taco Tuesday special, so we ordered several. (Gals next to us we're having the chicken). Cook brought the tacos and was very attentive, got hot sauce for us etc. tacos were fine for a taco Tuesday deal, nothing special. When we cashed out the bartender brought us a bill without any prices at all on it and no total, seemed to expect us to just hand over a card. We asked for a bill with the prices and total listed, bartender told us "sometimes it doesn't print out right". Turns out the tacos were $2.25 each. Wish we had known, we would have ordered something else. There is a $.50 surcharge for using a debit card. Will not return. read more

I have been coming here for years. I decided out their food.. I got the Philadelphia steak cheese sandwich and I swear it was better than a lot of the Philly steak cheese sandwiches you'll find out there. Tons of meat and cheese just dripping off of your sandwich with every bite. I had to use my fork to keep putting the meat back in between my bogie roll. So good. Oh and the sandwich in the meat were very hot temperature wise. The service is always great and you will never be without a cold beer. If you want to play some pool and listen to some good old read more

This was a great place to do karaoke and hang out with friends. The 2 waitresses made it difficult to get drinks as there was a huge line every time we went up to order. But the KJ was great, and played requests quickly even helping with a happy birthday. read more

Service is slow, no personality bartender, Patty melt was burned black. I am now going to another bar due to this visit. I usually tip well, but not this time. I spent 50 bucks and they are lucky I left. 3$ tip. read more

Just so so, not real attentive, takes a long time to get recognized to have your order taken

Best hamburger in Vancouver! The service was great and we will be returning for a lunch whenever we are in the neighborhood!

I like all of the staff there except one bouncer. I was playing chess with someone and this dude would NOT leave us alone and when we told him to stop he got very violent and threatening. I told the bouncer and he confirmed the guy was threatening people but then let the guy stay. I said I didn't feel safe and I cashed out to leave. I had my phone, keys and wallet in one hand and my chessboard in the other. I used the SIDE of my foot to gently open the door to leave and the bouncer told me I was banned for 30 days for kicking the door. He's either friends with violent dude or he didn't like that I asked him to do his job. I have been going here for almost a year without any issues. Spending way more money than I honestly should. I won't be back after that unless that bouncer is dealt with. They have shootings and fights in the parking lot. Cops are called all the time. The Spot has a SERIOUS security issue. If any owners see this, please reach out because I'd love to go into more detail. read more

Love this place. Upon arrival the security guy is always so welcoming and polite - a true professional. From there the bartenders do a great job; Rainer beer is around $2.50(?) - had a bacon cheeseburger and it was much better than expected. I am OLD for this place, a younger crowd, everyone is still friendly and got invited to play some pool. The Karaoke nights are actually really fun, never thought I could enjoy that, but I did. Been back there 5-6 times already and the door guy knows me and servers already remember me and what I order. This is not upscale. If you want that in Vancouver go to the Waterfront. But if you want a casual place to hang out and unwind this is the place. Recommended highly. Some night you'll see me do "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" by AC/DC. Told you I'm old lol. read more

Service: 1/10 Drinks: 5/10 Atmosphere: 2/10 Stopped by on the way home because this is located in a convenient location. From the outside you would assume it's a dive bar, so the standards are already low. However, the bartender was a blonde old woman who didn't smile once, and we just ordered two drinks and a water. We got the drinks, no water. We closed out our tab and left because we did not feel like the server wanted us to be at the bar top. We will not be back. Atmosphere: the inside is a cabin-like feel, but the layout felt awkward. Couldn't take a picture.... But you can stop by and see for yourself on a Friday at 7pm. read more

The best dive bar in Vancouver. It's my go to bar when I want a cold drink or great bar food. If you're a Steelers fan, this is you're place as the owner is a huge Steelers fan. Pool tables are new and they have leagues. And of course they have karaoke a few days a week as well. And there is a small outdoor area to smoke and drink. During Covid restrictions you have to enter wearing a mask and seating is limited. read more

I thought. Reviews this place wow!! So my group of friends, pre-COVID back in December got kicked off the train for day drinking with out bottles of vodka sticking out our backpacks on the train. What a shit-show. Next train was 6 hours away. We decided walk from the Amtrak station to the Spot (found via Yelp) and wait it out. 6 jack n cokes, 1 12 ounce prime rib and $200 in pull tabs later we left. When the train pulled up, we put on our best sober face and tried to bored. Immediately the train guys recognized used us from a "be on the lookout message" for these guys. They didn't let us board. So we're 10 hours deep at this point and needing to get back to Portland. We ended up taking a bolt bus and feeling like hell. Anyways, I didn't mean to deviate. The Spot treated us great and had everything we could've asked for. Time flew bye way too quick here. It was a prime place to be and awesome it was so close to the Amtrak station. read more

Kind of sketchy and shady, do't open a tab there, seems like some extra things got added but did not notice until the next day, will not be back read more

I have to say I have fallen in love with their Philly cheese steak Valerie the waitress is very kind and always happy and the cooks make great food. The last time I went there I had a Philly cheese steak and my friend had a bacon cheeseburger and both of them were delicious. I say stop on by and get yourself some wonderful food !!! read more

Just moved back to Vancouver last week and I've already been here twice. The quality of food here for the price is absolutely fantastic. This place has stepped up there game and the cooks have been killing it. Great beer and drink selection. You still can't sit at the bar but they have great specials and I'll be returning for taco Tuesday. Can't wait to eat more and drink more at the spot! read more

Tried a new place and was pleasantly surprised! The Spot was clean and friendly, lots of beers on tap and THE BEST WINGS! Karaoke was fun to watch and the service was on point. Definitely a new fav! read more

They said they were open online but when we came inside the rude bartender told us they were closed. I would change your hours online since your staff doesn't know how to tell customers nicely. Never coming here... too bad cause I tip well ‍ read more

Best bar burgers and price ratio. Always something going on here. Sometimes pool. Sometimes bands. Sometimes karaoke. Sometimes just chilling with regulars. It's like, the top end of a dive bar. If that makes sense. Always enjoy this place. read more

My compliments to the Chef & Bartender. Not only was the Bloody Mary damn good, but the Tater Tots are the same ones from Napoleon Dynamite. read more

Vancouver (Central) karaoke bar that is very popular 20,s and 30's crowd on the weekends. Five pool tables squeeze in the upper area that makes it hard to navigate past when the drink line is long, as is the case on the Saturday night I visited. Heated covered smoking area off the front door side and sunken area in back for the karaoke experience with a good system and nice kj's. read more

Great food, love the Philly cheese steak sandwich straight fire service was on point. So much to do as well they got pool tables and dart boards, music and sports. 10/10 read more

If I could give negative stars I would! Boyfriend got physically assaulted by a regular after he came over to our table belligerently drunk and started spouting off sexist jokes then continuing to argue with us when we told him to leave our table. The loser straight up threatened to beat us to DEATH (my whole group witnessed it) and bouncer Chaz did absolutely nothing because they value that jackass buying more drinks there than the safety of their patrons. Bartenders were kind-of standoffish as well and the whole atmosphere was unwelcoming at best and extremely dangerous at worst. Oh not to mention they made us TWO wrong drinks, literally gave us a plain tea after asking for a Long Island Iced Tea wtf... DO NOT GO HERE! read more

This wasn't a "choice" to stop, but since so many places were closed on the 4th we hadn't many options. So, first visit and it will be my last. The service was ok, but the atmosphere wasn't. This bar has too many pool tables that take up most of the space. If you can't find a seat up at the bar, you'll be limited to seating down in an area with a small stage... I totally felt out of place. After a bit of pondering whether or not we're staying a few places at the bar opened up, we sat ordered drinks and noticed the bartender was starting to get overwhelmed because the other server left for the night. Honestly, this isn't a very comfortable place... read more

Shit hole. Smells like piss and workers let people just fight and if your hurt they won't call for help. Don't ever go here unless you want to get sucker punched and smell piss. read more

Hi I'm shawn the cook. I worked as a cook here for 9 days. During that time my life was in danger 3 times. There are pimps, hooked, drug dealers and violent offenders that go there. The food I cooked was good, there are great staff there. Flex is the good night cook. They fired me because I did not get along with Cindy lu the bar tender that shows up to work drunk and serves raw chicken. I would avoid mornings that's when she works mid shift to night shift are great. The owner Allen just shows up with food in the morning but he won't eat the food there, but he almost spelt my name right in my first check. He tried to pay John schmaltz. Day 10 I show up to work to get my tips and was imidiatly fired because apparently I am a guy black cook, and that is not aloud here. That was Stright from the owner Allen's mouth, I have witnesses. After being fired I was told to pick up my last check Thursday. I came in later that night to get a drink with my friends, to find out I have been 86'd from the bar. This means I can't spend my day off in the bar I busted my ass in for 9 days cleaning from top to bottom. Which don't get me started on the kitchen. A man approached me he had a weapon if I didn't leave. So I called 911 told the police a man is threatening my life, and he was intoxicated. The officer said he would not send anyone, but he could file a report. The intoxicated individual who told me his name was deez nuts jump into his car clipped a car out on the way out. At this point I told the officer a drunk driver just hit and run and alas the officer said he couldn't do anything about it. So if this sounds like your bar come on down. If not just go to hooligans or main event this place will be out of business soon. read more

Stopped by for a meal. I was impressed with the crispness of the fried meal. A tad salty but it's understandable when the bar makes its money on the libations. Really enjoyed having well-maintained pool tables. They aren't overly priced for a game (50 cents) and the bar hosts pool tournaments. The regulars seem to bring their own cues so it's someplace I'd visit again. read more

Karaoke and pool. What more could you ask for. Although I wish they still had the goldfish races like the old days read more
