Food service location and experience was good. Sometimes I hate reviews because it is nice to have some less popular locations. But if visiting gastown in Vancouver, this spot was great. Huge with old wood. Good beer. Try the flight. And the burgers and tacos were good! read more

The food and atmosphere here are excellent, but be cautious of the wait staff. My friend and I initially planned to order one beer each with our meal. Our server suggested that, because it was happy hour, a pitcher would be cheaper and save us money. I specifically asked how many ounces the pitcher was and was told 32 oz, which sounded reasonable since we planned to get 15 oz beers. When the pitcher arrived, it was clearly 64 oz. The server apologized for the mistake, and I let it go, thinking we didn't have to drink it all. However, when the bill arrived, the price didn't match the quote. We were charged $25, not the $20 we were originally told when the 64-oz pitcher showed up, with the explanation that the regular price was $35 and that we had "saved" money. In the end, we were served twice the beer we wanted and paid twice what we intended, based on information that kept changing. Whether this was incompetence or intentional, it left me feeling frustrated and uncomfortable. The food and atmosphere really were great -- but the experience was overshadowed by feeling manipulated. Enjoy the food and beer, but pay close attention to what the wait staff tells you and what ends up on the bill. read more

A bar/ restaurant/brewery in the Gastown area of Vancouver with a nice variety of beers from their own brewery. I tried their Flagship IPA and was pleasantly surprised. It was a nice and flavorful beer without the bitterness a lot of IPA's have. You can buy it next door in cans, so I could enjoy it later again read more

The seafood chowder hit the spot on a cold day and the focaccia was so good, I wish there was more of it! The chocolate porter had a lot of really yummy notes and packed a lot of chocolate flavor. I got the sleeve and enjoyed it until the very last drop. Service was friendly but it took a while for us to get his attention for the check (I thought restaurants LIKED getting their guests to pay the bill?). The place is HUGE and it was quite the journey to get to the restrooms from the main area upstairs. Getting to the restrooms was fun while sober but I can imagine it being extremely tiring/dangerous while drunk. Downstairs had a fireplace as well as a pool table, private rooms, and the ladies' room had at least TWO sets of those stalls for two which I thought was funny and cute. Definitely will have to bring my bestie here so we can both potty at the same time read more

Okay, real review here so read up......don't eat outside, there is the view of the parking lot not the harbor and the clear glass covering is covered with bird poop! Do have the pizza, it's good if you're not picky about pizza and don't make the mistake I made and order a ginger beer to later find out walking to the restroom your unsteady on your feet and the ginger beer is house made and alcoholic. Dang! Nothing a good Deville coffee can't fix! read more

We stopped by here before boarding our cruise as it's close to the cruise terminal. Walked in and was able to get seated quickly outside. We just wanted something quick so ordered the poke nachos and the pretzel. Was surprised when our waitress asked if we wanted a slice of smoked cheddar melted on top! We're used to a cheese dip but when it came out, it was surprisingly good! Poke nachos were on point too! We devoured the food and enjoyed our beers! Beers were tasty! Seating outside was nice, we were street side and it does have a cover so were able to people watch as they walk by. It's by the water but I didn't see seating on that side. We asked the waitress if we could take our beers and check out the rest of the restaurant as there's another bar type section towards the water side. There's also a bar downstairs that's pretty cool where the bathrooms are! Bathrooms were an adventure to walk to but big pretty and clean!!! Definitely check them out as it's in walking distance of other touristy type spots!! read more

Went to Steamworks in Gastown tonight and came across, for the first time in my life, a stall with tandem toilets, divided by a short wall. I do not love ANY person enough, not even my children, to make eye contact while doing my business. Wild! Food was okay. Cousin said jambalaya was mostly sausage and shrimp. Yam fries were good but shouldn't have eaten the whole thing by myself. read more

Fun place! We fell in during the rain (of course). They just took it in stride, sat us quickly, and we got excellent quick service. Steamworks brews their own beer, you know we are stopping. Had a big party today (8). No problem. Appetizers were quick! Poutine, Yam fries, and alcohol, GREAT START! All the appetizers were excellent. The brewed Red Ale was quite different, but, tasty! A little over hoppy for me, but still quite pleasant. Wifey had the mojito. Not sure if she likes it, but it's almost gone before my ale! The choices here were right up our alley. I've shown you all of 'em. We had 8 people, but several chose the same thing. The pizza was "Wow! Damn, that's good!" Nice and crispy, a bit fluffy crust, cooked with perfect timing. To explain just how good the food was, a table of 8 was nearly silent for fifteen minutes! Service was so personable, and friendly. Verdict on the soup & salad from Wifey, soup, nice. Salad tasty, but the pieces were too big and the plate too small to cut! Taste? 100%. Plate? No, too small. If you happen along downtown Vancouver, stop in. It's great. read more

A classic Gastown spot with a fantastic atmosphere. We stopped in for a casual dinner and was impressed by how pleasant and attentive the service was. Our server was delightful and very helpful with recommendations on how to spend the rest of time on our first trip to Vancouver. Food was standard, reliable pub fare cuisine. The poutine fries was a solid choice. Steamworks is in a historic building with great views of the harbor although we were seated in the bar area didn't get a chance to feast on those incredible views, the experience here was still genuinely nice. 3.7 stars read more

When they say "a really good margarita" they are not lying. I am shocked at how good this margarita is not just for a brewery but for any restaurant. Tastes so fresh and just how I like to make mine at home. Their art around the restaurant is super cute and their beer glasses are awesome. It is a huge space but they do a great job at breaking it up so every section feels cozy and has a different vibe. This is a great upscale atmosphere to watch a game at. We sat at the bar to watch a football game and the bartender was so friendly. read more

We visited Vancouver this past weekend to celebrate my son's birthday, and wanted somewhere close to the hotel with good food and drinks, and Steamworks fit the bill. We didn't have to wait at all for a table. This place is huge! We got seated quickly, ordered our drinks and an appetizer, and had a great time. The food was pretty typical pub food...we had the (huge!) pretzel, poutine, pizza, and steak amongst the for of us and we all enjoyed our food. It wasn't the best food I've ever had, but it was good and the price wasn't bad either. Service was also great and overall I would recommend this place to others, I think it's worth going back to next time we're in town. read more

Great spot for beers with a full food menu! My partner loves to go to breweries and pubs for the drinks but as I non drinker I go for the food. I ordered the vegan jambalaya and our server picked up that I wanted it extra spicy. The kitchen delivered, its was very spicy! I was happy as I don't normally get this level of spice in my food at most restaurants. I was disappointed to find a hair in my food. I would come back for the jambalaya, just for the great flavour. read more

Steamworks is a wonderfully friendly restaurant and brewery located near the water. I think about their poutine almost daily. I remember also being a big fan of their beers. They have a wide variety of food offered on their menu. I am a big fan of this place and will absolutely return should I find myself in Vancouver again. read more

Easy spot to go to in the gastown/waterfront area. Wide menu makes it an easy choice for everyone. The brews on tap are also a nice touch, making it an easy spot to choose. Bellinis here are also pretty popular, but be warned. It's hard to stick to just one! read more

Definitely a place that has a lot of beers, easy to walk here if you are in a hotel in downtown Vancouver. Service is great and food was ok. They have vegetarian and vegan options which was nice. If you get seated next to a window, there are great views of the harbor. read more

We came here for a quick bite to eat and some Bevvys, it was a great location based on where we were, near Gas Town, so definitely walkable to the touristy areas. We were seated pretty quickly and got to sit in an area that had a view of the water, which was great! Our server, greeted us quickly and promptly! And I'm sad to say I can't remember his full name, but it started with a D! He was helpful with the menu as we picked out our items and drinks, and constantly checked on us throughout our meals! Everyone ordered a bit of everything, I went with the wings, salt and pepper, extra crispy, with a side of buffalo sauce and ranch, and mine hit the spot!! I love dipping my wings so they stay crispy and I was definitely a happy camper. I also tried some of the sweet potato fries, or yam fries, as they call it and they were yummy with the balsamic glaze drizzle over them. However I didn't quite care for the dipping sauce they came with, so just more balsamic for me please! read more

Though the beer was terrific the food was terrible! We each had the soup and salad combo. The beer soup tasted strangely sour and the seafood chowder was also tart and unpleasant. Though their house salad was pretty good, the caesar salad left a bad aftertaste. Go there for the beer, not the food. read more

Staff were very very professional. Everything from the beer to the food they recommended was excellent.

A solid place for dinner when staying in downtown Vancouver. I do not drink alcohol so this will be pertaining to the food, however, beer lovers may love this place as this is a brewery. The food was solid but did not blow me away. The mussels were good, broth was nice, but not served with bread so you had to use the fries to soak up the broth. The burger was solid the bacon jam was noticeable could have used more sauce, did not blow me away. The butter chicken was pretty good did not expect that considering the majority of their menu. The nachos was lackluster, I would avoid this in the future. Nachos served with shredded cheese not nacho cheese. Way too many chips to cheeses ratio. The service was solid no complaints and the atmosphere was lively. read more

We were able to get a table almost immediately despite the place being very busy. It was a lively atmosphere but not so loud that you couldn't have conversation.

Why would you lie about a table reservation? We asked to be sat at the view table and were told it was reserved...ok. We found out definitely later that in fact it was not reserved. I don't know....next time you wanna sit at a better table and you're told it's reserved...maybe flash them a $20 bill and see what happens.... The space, vibe and energy in the upstairs dining area is really cozy. The service (Evan) was excellent. The Lager was great. The Dry Ribs were decent. The Nachos. Skip it. Here's why. This is going to make me sound like my parents...but....years ago Nachos would come with plenty of Cheese, Guac, Salsa and Sour Cream and either chicken or beef. Yeah! I know crazy! There was a day way back when all that was part of a dish called "NACHOS." If it weren't so bizarre, it would be funny to think that all those ingredients are an extra charge now. If I had to personify the Nachos here.....it would be someone completely naked....it's like...ok sweetheart lets get some clothes on you....(see pic.) Other than the lying hostess and the Nachos all else was ok.... We'll be back for the tasty beer and their pretty rocking menu. read more
