I made reservations online. We showed up on time, and were seated immediately. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl. As my food quality expectations for Tap & Barrel are quite low, I was pleasantly surprised with my food. It was a good portion size, and each of the individual ingredients were reasonably fresh, and overall tasted pretty good. Service seemed a bit below average. The food took 15-20 minutes to come out, which feels quite long. Our server was nice enough, but basically did the minimum despite not seeming to be very busy. Overall, it was ok. Not food I would crave, and service was subpar, but it's a nice location if you're looking to enjoy the sun and the views.

The staff were really thoughtful and brought water for the dogs, and I was surprised to find that they even have a dog menu at reasonable prices. Such a nice touch for dog owners! Their Happy Hour is also good value. We ordered three dishes and two beers, and it came out to just over $30 per person. The food was actually not bad. They have a great selection of beers from different breweries, so it's a fun spot to try different styles and flavors in one place.

I'm not sure if this location is newer as I don't spend much time in this neighborhood, but I was happy to come across it randomly. The bar area was nice and the service was attentive. We spent awhile here as we were waiting to be order to order off the happy hour menu which is 3-6 every day. There were a ton of things that sounded delicious on the regular menu, but I really wanted to try the vegan tofu bites and I am really glad I waited. This was one of the best things I ate on my 3 day trip to Vancouver, I think I might end up here every future trip just for this reason. I even inquired why it's not on the regular menu since I want to be able to eat it all times of the day. While we waited we sampled many beers. This place has a vibrant atmosphere. It also has a patio that looks inviting in better weather. There were many unique beers, but one that I had which was one of the most unusual beers I have ever had was the carrot cake ale, the orange color was so enticing. My sharing of this to social media has even inquired some of my friends to want to seek it out. They were happy to learn its available in cans. I will certainly give the other location I am more familiar with another go on my next visit, but now I am tempted to check out the Burnaby one as well. This is a good reminder to me to read menus even if I think I know what a place has to offer. This place is so much better than what I recall from the past. Glad I gave it another chance, although my first visit to this location, but I see the Gastown location has an improved menu as well.

A Pleasant Surprise in a New City…read more While aimlessly wandering through a new city, I stumbled upon this spot and figured, "Why not?" With only a handful of patrons inside, my skepticism was high, but the visit turned out to be a positive one. I started with a light crisp draft beer that hit the spot perfectly. For food, I only took appetizers...the roasted brussels sprouts and chicken wings. Both are what you would expect from typical bar fare - tasty, well-prepared and satisfying without blowing you away. Nothing extraordinary, but nothing disappointing either. The vibe is ideal for catching up with friends. The front outdoor patio sits right along side a busy street, yet the noise level stayed comfortable enough for easy conversation. It felt a bit quiet during my Monday afternoon visit on a public holiday, but I can easily see it being a lively and fun hangout on a weekend. Overall, this was a decent spot and a good find. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the neighborhood.

The second time around wings were better than the first ie my first review! They were crispy, still juicy inside and sauced real well. I've also had their smash burger which has been my favourite meal so far, it's absolutely delicious!! The double patty double cheese with pickles and onions is like a gourmet fast food burger - it has everything you need! It comes with choice of curly fries or regular fries or a salad, always get the curlies they're really good! I also love their Cesars, always really tasty which I find can be hard to nail at restaurants - this one is really good! Service is good, sometimes a touch slow if it's a busy night but always super friendly. The Saturday night crowd is always buzzing because of trivia and it's a fun time all around. We will be back plenty!

Our area was perfect for a large gathering. Although the restaurant was lively and a little noisy, we could still hear one another and have good conversations. The main dining area seemed louder, but not uncomfortably so. I ordered the chicken salad, and it was very good. At approximately $25, it seemed a little expensive for a salad, but the portion was considerably larger than I expected and very satisfying. Everyone in our group appeared to enjoy their meals. They offer a wide selection of beers from many different craft breweries, which added to the experience. The restaurant was clean, spacious and had a great atmosphere. There is also a large, bright waiting area at the entrance and a patio at the back. Overall, CRAFT Beer Market was an excellent choice for our large group, and the thoughtful service really stood out.

Organizing a group of that size can be challenging, but the restaurant accommodated us with ease and made the entire experience feel remarkably seamless. The location is also very convenient for anyone arriving by transit. It is just a short walk from Main Street-Science World SkyTrain Station, making it an easy meeting point for a group coming from different parts of Vancouver. From the station, the route takes you through the Olympic Village area and along the waterfront, so even getting to dinner feels like part of the experience. The staff were professional, attentive, and well organized throughout the evening. Despite the size of our party, service remained consistent, with the team making sure everyone was looked after without making the experience feel rushed or impersonal. They also went the extra mile by giving our group a more intimate space, which made a significant difference. Having our own area allowed us to enjoy the evening together without feeling like we were simply occupying a large collection of tables in the middle of the restaurant. The setting itself adds another layer to the experience. Located inside the historic Salt Building at Olympic Village, the restaurant occupies a building with a fascinating connection to Vancouver's industrial past. The structure dates back to the early 20th century and was originally associated with the city's salt and fishing industries. Today, its preserved industrial character provides a striking contrast to the modern dining environment. The combination of heritage architecture and contemporary restaurant design gives the space a distinctive sense of place. For a group gathering, that atmosphere works particularly well. There is enough energy and activity to keep the room lively, while the historic structure gives the restaurant more character than a typical modern dining space. The food was tasty throughout our meal, with a menu broad enough to accommodate different preferences within a large group. Having plenty of options made it easy for everyone to find something appealing, and the food arrived in a timely manner despite the number of people being served. What impressed me most, however, was how smoothly everything came together. Large groups can easily become complicated, particularly when it comes to seating, ordering, timing, and keeping everyone comfortable. Craft Beer Market handled all of those details professionally. The decision to give us a more intimate space was especially appreciated. It created a sense of occasion and allowed our group to actually spend time together rather than having conversations divided across a large dining room. Overall, Craft Beer Market at the Salt Building was a great fit for our gathering. The combination of attentive service, a comfortable private-feeling space, tasty food, convenient transit access, and a unique historic setting made for a memorable evening. For anyone organizing a larger celebration, group dinner, or casual gathering, this location is well worth considering. The staff demonstrated that they can comfortably handle a sizeable party while still providing the kind of attentive service that makes guests feel genuinely welcomed. Add in the character of one of Vancouver's historic industrial buildings, the easy walk from Main Street-Science World Station, and the lively Olympic Village surroundings, and you have a setting that feels distinctly Vancouver: a little bit of history, a little bit of modern city life, and a good meal shared with a large group of people.
