The Alibi is dead. I…read moredidn't know. This was the place where I proposed to my wife, this was our first date. It was one of the cornerstones of my love for Vancouver. Years later we returned for our 10th anniversary and the spark was gone. Curated beer list gone, food mediocre, service still nice. It was loud and nothing special anymore. I shed a single tear for the memories and I'll never forget what it used to be.

While traveling to Vancouver we wanted to get some cute drinks…read more This place was great! Super cute and such a chill vibe. The bartenders were very nice and even though they couldn't make a certain drink they offered to make an alternative and it was delicious. Would recommend and comeback!

What a cool spot! We didn't have any trouble getting a booth seat immediately. Our server was…read morefriendly and helpful, especially because the menu was beyond expansive. He advised that the initial drink I'd had my eye on might not be the best choice based on my taste/preferences, and I was super happy with the one I ordered instead. It was quite strong so I only had one cocktail. My bf sampled a few. The bartender/mixologist is clearly very skilled. She came by to check on us and take orders as well. We are so happy that we stopped in here and definitely recommend. The interior is really cool and industrial. The weather/temperature outside was nice so they had the garage doors open and it was lovely to have fresh air streaming in.

The edamame I will dream of forever the sauce is 10/10 I even asked if they sell it. Sadly no. My husband got a burger and enjoyed it. My sister got the dumplings they were good. We will definitely have to come back when we visit the area again. The next day we came for happy hour. Again the food was great service was friendly the crispy potato bits were delicious.

I think the experience here would have been different if it was just to drink. Online it states…read morethat it's a nice atmosphere which it is. It also states it has food and tower mimosas. Beautiful and large outdoor seating but we sat inside. I took my partner and his parents here on Saturday afternoon, April 4th and the service was awful. And I want to recognize this might be due to it's majnly tavern. Its known for serving drinks and having a large patio to stop, sit, and have a cold one. And it does have a full food menu so I thought we could have some food. It even has brunch. I was surprised. My parents are older and ordered coffee when the server first greeted us. We ordered our food shortly after. The beer my partner ordered was given quickly along with my iced tea. Food came out but wasn't given by server. We paid $15.00 for an extra side that was apparently put into the dish itself which felt odd. We asked for another side and the waitress covered it which was amazing. We requested some other items and waited. Our server completely forgot about the coffee and didn't bring out requested items until after our food was finished. And the side was painful small for the price. The server rarely checked on us and was incredibly nice and understanding when we did interact with her. I recognize Gastown is very $$$ and I'm surprised this restaurant/bar sells food. I didn't have a great experience with the amount of money we paid and the service we got. We will not be going back on our next visit Canada. Maybe later one we will try again and only order drinks.

The service is very friendly and staff is very communicating. I ordered yam fries it comes with a side nice orange dip. The fries were really good and tasted amazing.

another fine seán establishment that julia will be frequenting (the other being open outcry!)…read more thank you a for always appeasing to whatever restaurant choice i pick. tho she does say that my choices are often good...i haven't slipped up yet so let's keep it that way. shoutout MUST be given to teagan (spelling?) for being the best server. helpful, fun and attentive but not in a creepy "im watching you" kinda way! there were def some drinks that caught our eye frm the menu. a relived her childhood fav - the shandy! i had a sip and it is very easy on the palate - that lemonade adds a refreshing citrus note to the drink. i, ofc, had the gunpowder & tonic. i had a double, no regrets! then a decided to try the dirty snakebite - ribena makes it dirty and for those who know, you know i ended up having the same as my last drink but only as a half pint - so thank you teagan for informing me of that! was the dirty snakebite as lethal as the menu says - no. it is VERY easy to keep drinking it tho - the ribena adds a subtle sweetness to the drink that makes it that much more palatable. before this drink, i had the peach & orange ketel one spritzer - the peach shines through the whole drink tho not in an artificial way. another easy drink to down - i guess we were on a roll for drinks! now for food! for appies, we had the preserved seafood and posh toast. conservas aka preserved seafood are basically the canned seafood that we see at the stores - obvsly the ones at irish heather are not your run of the mill ones. we had the mejillones en escabeche #130 - smoked mussels. the mussels were smoked to perfection with a nice of hint of char. the toast that came with the dish was on point - not too burnt compared to the posh toast. the mussels were also creamy in the mouth, not something you'd expect frm canned seafood. the posh toast was nice minus the super burnt toast. the spinach and artichoke spread was on point - it almost reminded me of an egg salad spread! then the star main - the stacked corned beef sandwich. i'm sure most know how much i rave abt the corned beef - it was the same quality, same taste and same flavour that i fell in love with. as a and i shared, we added extra corned beef to make a monster corned beef sandwich. that was the best decision along with added the chili cheese to our fries. often cheese sauces can be too salty, it was the opposite in this case! best food/carb coma ever and another go-to pub to add to julia's repertoire

Their "brunch burger" is a major missed opportunity though... this really should have a fried egg on it. You could possibly add an egg from the ala carte section of the menu, but those cost $3, so you'd be looking at $27 for a burger and a half a cup of fried potatoes. That's insanely expensive. Currently the brunch burger has two small patties which have a tendency to overcook and become dry. My patties were well-done despite me asking for medium - don't even ask if the kitchen can't deliver. Not sure what makes that a brunch burger, but it would be much better if those two patties were combined into one, and a fried egg was added, while staying below a $24 price point expensive burgers in Vancouver. Other restaurants can do it.... Oh, the other disappointing thing is that the card reader defaults to tips at 18, 25, and 28%. Not cool - we already pay servers high wages in BC, tipping should be 10% if not eliminated altogether. 28%? No thanks!

First stop when we got to Vancouver. We hadn't eaten all day and were so hungry!…read more This was the perfect place, because the food came out so quickly and piping hot! I got a chicken burger and my husband got a brisket burger with fries. The fries were yummy and the adobe ketchup was interesting. Didn't love it at first, but after a few dips it grew on me. My chicken burger was cooked perfect, crispy, and had great flavor. My husband also enjoyed his burger! Drinks were also good. Server was super great. The inside was a bbq joint feel mixed with a dive bar. It was clean though and we would definitely go back.

Reservations: They don't take reservations on game nights, so I recommend getting here early! We…read moregot a table easily around 4 PM before the Canucks game on a Friday, but by 5 PM the estimated wait for walk-ins was quite long Location: Conveniently close to Rogers Arena and the area feels safe to walk around Service: Exceptional! The servers and bartender were all really nice and accommodating. They did not rush us out at all despite the crowds and we were able to eat and have several drinks before we headed over to the game. We always had our drinks refilled and the food came out timely and fresh. Ambiance: This place has a great vibe! There are several TV's to watch games, and there are plenty of tables with a long bar. It's lively but not too loud. What we ordered: DRINKS Old Fashioned, Sidecar, Kentucky Mule-- all great, strong drinks with Happy Hour prices! They had a really large menu of drinks, especially for Beer and Whiskey lovers FOOD Mac & Cheese-- huge portion of pasta with delicious cheese sauce and panko bread crumbs. The sauce has a kick to it! Totchos-- another huge portion, the tater tots were great- crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The cheesy sauce, jalapenos, and banana peppers together had a kick but these were hard to stop eating! Smoked Brisket Quesadilla-- a generous portion of flavorful smoked brisket with melty mozzarella and cheddar, corn, and black beans. Served with sour cream. All together highly recommend!

I went to Rogue last night for a quick bite before a show and was really impressed with the quality…read moreof both the food and service, from when we arrived until we finished our meals. We arrived without a reservation but it wasn't needed as this place is huge and had quite a few tables available. We were seated quickly at a nice booth and proceeded to place our order. I had the Tuna Niçoise Salad and my friend had the Tuna Poke Bowl. I was actually torn between these two options so when the food arrived, we both tried each other's meal to see how the two compared. They were both really good but I really enjoyed my salad and much preferred it over the poke bowl. Ironically, the tuna in the poke bowl was much better seasoned than the tuna in the salad, but I just really loved all the other ingredients in the salad more. I think a sprinkle of some flaked salt would have made the salad perfect but there were a few salty components like the olives, to help offset the almost bland flavour of the tuna. It had a perfect sear and I loved the crust on it. The salad itself had a very nice light dressing on it, which surprisingly, I really liked. I'm not normally a fan of salad dressing but this one was really tasty. The restaurant was busy but not at capacity so even though there were a lot of people talking, it wasn't too loud so we could still have a conversation without having to shout at each other. Overall, I would absolutely return and order this dish again and would also order the poke bowl on a future visit.

Rogue bar and kitchen is an amazing restaurant right at waterfront station in downtown Vancouver…read more It has pretty high ceiling and chandeliers as part of its ambience and great seating and lightning. It gives you a bit of royal experience in a bar. Staff is very nice and accomodating for your order and they keep on checking on you after sometime which is great service. I ordered basil tomato soup with croutons here . It was pretty thick and more like a red pasta sauce with herbs. A few spoons and I was pretty full so it was dense and heavy. I have had lighter soups in the past at other places so this was pretty new to me. I really loved the ambience and service and next time I am going to order something different. It's definitely on the pricey end but not too much as well.
