    We had an excellent lunch at Craft Friday afternoon for our Christmas party. The service was a little slow at first, but they were very mindful of allergies and very friendly. The food was excellent. I really enjoyed their nachos and Impossible Burger. Other mentionables - Tuna Poke and my co-workers really enjoyed the chicken sandwiches and Pizza. The only thing I didn’t like about the menu is the low amount of vegan and vegetarian options. They have an extremely large alcohol menu focused on beer of course. I had Ginger beer - don’t drink and drive! It was pretty nice and it was bottomless. Over all I would suggest Craft for small gatherings or a meal with friends and family. - especially if you like beer. So very Canadian.

    Came here for a late dinner/snack with my friend. There was no wait time for the 2 of us to get a table. The waiter was super friendly and very attentive. Great service. We ordered the nachos and wings to share and then also had a soda each. As for the wings we were able to do half and half fry and spicy. The food was more the enough to share between two people. Everything tasted very good. The bill came to $71. Honestly I know prices have changed but this kinda crazy considering we didn’t eat “real” food and just had appetizers.

    I may be the only person that thinks their food menu is below-average. Lots of items are battered / deep fried: I had the tofu lettuce wraps and I left with a painful stomach cramp, it was so greasy and gross. I didn’t even finish it. The deep fried pickles are also 90% batter and 10% pickle, wouldn’t recommend it. I absolutely love their beers and their drink menu but their food menu is quite horrible. Sorry. I wish they had more healthier feel good dishes. Atmosphere and service is 5/5! Really nice servers.

    A very unique and huge place at the heart of olympic place with a selection of 150 brand of draft beer. Staffs are nice and the bar is long. A bit pricy but worth the experience and hassle to go all the way to olympic village. Its a cool place for the weekend time as a date or a group of friends.

    We went there on Tuesday because we saw that there was a Tuesday special on beer and burger. But be aware : this is false advertising. We've been told that only the burger was at 6$ and not the beer (even though we showed the waitress the picture of the sign in front of the bar). She said the 6$ beer was during happy hour, which doesn't make sense. Plus, in the menu, the beer and burger are announced at 6$ under the "Daily features" with NOTHING stating that it was only during happy hour. It's too bad because we used to like going there (other than that the waitress was nice and the food was good), but false advertising is a big no for me.

    5/5 for FOH staff! All hosts and our server were great. But food was beyond terrible. Thought somebody ordered McDonald's UberEats to our table but it was actually the floppy $20 burgers that we ordered. Bun and fries were cold, and the patty was extremely dry. "Two patties" are really one patty sliced in half. Good selection of beer though, but definitely do not come here for the food.

    Love the building, you will refresh your mind very quickly. Love the Sunday happy hour, love the beer, and the food was great. Music was not quite as fresh as I would have selected, but allow me to offer my mixes shall they want to switch it up. Last but not least, servers were super and very responsive, if you ask for chilis, you got them within the minute.

    Great place for hanging out or watching games with friends who love beer. Their beer selection is extensive with rotating taps and service is quick. Food was not the best, just normal pub fare. Nachos looked a lot but it was not as much as it looked. Also, we ordered an impossible burger as a friend was vegan, but the salad on the side that came with the burger had bacon on it. The server was super nice and replaced it right away.

    Although the restaurant was 3/4 empty, the servers at the front made our group of 15 wait for 20 minutes, then sat us incorrectly at a space that was not suitable for our group size. In the 20 minutes we were standing waiting, there were 3 girls at the front doing nothing but standing there looking grumpy. Chicken strips were really good, lettuce wraps overly saucy, and the burgers were yummy! Well done chefs! 👏 2/3 were tasty! Our server was not as attentive to our needs, and do all restaurants tell their waitresses to ask about your plans after (at tip time)? I feel it's ok to ask this question if you've been attentive all the way through. Not so much if you're not. Ms Fancy Google Reviewer 6 million + picture views

    First time visit, I give 3 stars just because the bartenders were so nice. Me and my friend, as two ladies, went there out of blue because we didn't plan before so it was our first time visit. We asked to be seated on the bar and we were told by 2 female hosts at the door we don't have space and enough bartenders to serve you on the bar. So they took us to a table between families with kids(no offense) which doesn't really make sense because we go to bar to socialize. It was a very huge bar there with plenty of seats available(maybe around 20 seats) at the bar and we asked them again for the bar and she asked her supervisor to see if we can sit at the bar. Finally they accepted! I mean, which bar on earth would say to 2 girls that they can not sit at the bar?!! Our bartenders were sooo helpful and nice and they invited us to 3 shots and apologized for what happened. Good music and dj.

    Great outdoor patio space! The Chicken Tenders and Fish Tacos were delicious! Poutine was not a hit in our fam. Service was okay but we seemed to lose our server once the food was delivered.

    I had never been to Craft before but went to a company party in June and again in November. The building is unique, has a great layout for big groups, plenty of seating and clean but cozy with a fun atmosphere including a repurposed airstream with seating (in pic). My downside is not a lot of parking, I was able to park approx 1 block away which is good, but on a busy weekend night, I'm not sure. They're close to transit, which is better if you're drinking anyways. The food is great and interesting. They had roasted, caramelized brussel sprouts that were amazing, which is a word that doesn't always go with b-sprouts! The service is fantastic! Last time, I wasn't sure what I wanted, and don't drink often. The fellow at the bar made some suggestions based on things I said I liked and gave me a sample size to try before committing to a full glass. I love that because it shows they care about making the customer happy, not just making money. This time, the waitress asked if we wanted to try a sample as well, brilliant! Their drink menu has lots of interesting options too, not just the usual suspects. We had someone at our table who mentioned to one waitress they're vegetarian and from then on, all the waitresses would let her know if food was vegetarian! And the staff, full staff, polite, and always coming around with food. I've never had to say 'no thanks' to food that much, both times. I wish I lived closer to visit in regular mode vs company party mode. Based on my two visits, the business seems to have a genuine interest in serving their patrons with great service and great food!

    Vibrant place with huge selection of beers from the tap including a local selection. Staff is very friendly and forthcoming. The food is good in a sense of typical pub food. We had a good time and will come back

    Had a nice experience coming here awesome beers selection. Nice interior and I think newly renovated. For the prawn fettuccine it was okay for a more healthy choice on the menu it didn't have the heavy sauce on it was looking for a less portion meal and that was decent enough. I think other stuff on menu are better! Need to go back.

    Great ambience, gives off a rustic yet modern look of history of Vancouver. Offers a wide selection of beer. The food was not bad. The vegan options are ok. Excellent customer service! Will definitely recommend this place for beer lovers and a place to hang out with friends!

    I went here for a retirement party on a Friday night. We were treated really well and one of the servers stood out among them all. Nicole was professional, friendly, and organized. Even though some of the other servers looked stressed- Nicole maintain a positive and happy attitude. She was absolutely lovely. A few things I wanted to mention about the establishment: they mindfully put our large party upstairs.. this allowed us to be out of the way but also keep us together. They also let us put flower arrangements on our tables as our centerpieces.

    Love the beer options here. We tried the local love flight which had a nice range of ales, sours and IPAs. The fish tacos we got during happy hour were rather bland. The ambience is nice and relaxing.

    One of my fave spots in Vancouver. I love dropping by for a drink, especially trying different beers during each visit. The food is delicious. A few of my faves are the fried pickles, the nacho barrel, and the tuna poke.

    This place is massive! They have a diverse menu for craft beer and the food was tasty. We had a good time but the biggest problem was the music that was extremely loud. We could barely hear each other. The genre was also wrong for the atmosphere imo. They played disco tech music that was not suitable for sitting and chatting with friends.

  • 3/5 Sharzi B. 7 months ago on Google • 163 reviews
    Literally they serve half portion of Nacho Barrel! The beer for sure is delicious, especially salted lime one! Our server didn’t pay attention to us at all! He just passed us without asking what we need! I like the atmosphere though!

  • 4/5 Aurora 3 months ago on Google • 122 reviews New
    We came here on my sister's birthday and they didn't have anything special for birthdays. The place is big and really nice. I loved all the beers, I tried Backcountry Tale Breaker Pale Ale, The Fruli Strawberry Wheat Ale and the Cream Cold Brew Coffee Stout. All recommended. The pizza it’s ok but nothing special, the same for the snacks.

  • 4/5 Kohei K. 6 months ago on Google • 22 reviews
    This is one of the series of Tap&Barrel and BREWHALL. Great variety of beers and unique atmosphere, it’s definitely worth visiting if you are a beer mania. They renovated the interior a few months ago, which is pretty good looking as well. They continue getting better and better.

  • 3/5 M L. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is good for dine in if you want to chat with friends and drink fresh beer. Don't do takeout. There's no signage whatsoever to collect it ..the host waved me away and told me to go to the kitchen and ask the cooks for my food....I was so confused because surely she couldn't be telling me to go inside the cooking area to grab my food??? I tracked down a waitress who helped me get it. And then I go home and see the portion of fries is not even half full.

  • 4/5 Ashna S. 2 years ago on Google
    They have many great options for drinks. I ordered a Red Sangria and Impossible burger. Qty was good and burger tasted okay, not worth the price. 4 stars for service, ambience and drinks

  • 4/5 Arpit M. 2 years ago on Google
    Crisp beer and Sangria was good as well. I wouldn’t recommend the burgers as was dry patty and less flavourful. Not worth the price for food. Their hot sauce was amazing though.

  • 3/5 Andrew Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Cocktails, beers are great. Shareable dishes are awesome. Main dishes such as burgers, ribs and bowls are not good.

  • 4/5 Puneet V. 2 years ago on Google
    Fab place to be if you want to enjoy a wide variety great beers and good music. The 'keep it local' and 'world tour' flights are a must try. There was a 10-15 min wait on a Friday evening which is less than normal for a place like this. Service is prompt and the margarita pizza is a must try if you're a vegetarian like me.

  • 3/5 Gal N. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent atmosphere and good food (not the best). The waitress was very nice but the service needed improvement. We were served food without a knife and fork. Also, my friend ordered tea and didn't got it. Big place. I heard they have great selection of alcohol.

  • 5/5 Varun S. 2 years ago on Google
    Huge restaurant and bar with nice ambiance. Their service was great. The local love beer sampler covered an interesting variety of beers. Their prosciutto arugula pizza was good. Got very busy in the evening, but they had plenty of tables and an upstairs section too.

  • 4/5 Brittany K. 1 year ago on Google
    We went there on a busy Saturday night for dinner. They were able to seat us at the bar immediately which was perfect. Our server was on top of it and was always available for us if we needed anything. I ordered the new American double cheese burger and sweet potato fries. Let me tell you… it was freaking AMAZING. The flavour was out of this world and the fries were perfectly cooked. I did find it kinda pricey for how much food you get so that’s why it’s a 4/5 for me!

  • 5/5 Bill L. 2 years ago on Google
    So much different types of beers to select from and food options, this place is great for social gathering. Been here many times and every visit has always been pleasant.

  • 3/5 Karen H. 8 months ago on Google
    Hadn’t popped into Craft in years despite living in the neighbourhood, as I gravitate towards Tap & Barrel or Brewhall for pub fare. Decided to give it a shot last weekend. The non-rotating tap selection is less about craft brew and more about standard international beers. On a Saturday night, the DJ/music was deafening and it was hard to carry a conversation with my partner over it. Having said this, the experience we had at the bar was excellent! Our server/bartender, Bella, helped us explore the rotating taps of local craft beers. They were knowledgeable about the breweries and offered tasting notes / samples so that we can choose pints that we would enjoy with dinner. Bella also steered us towards the crispy chicken sandwich, which was exactly what I wanted that evening. (The sandwich itself was well executed—kudos to the kitchen.) If this is the kind of service and expertise I can expect of the bar staff at Craft, I will happily return on a regular basis (on a quieter weeknight) to explore the local rotating taps. Thanks, Bella!

  • 4/5 Antonio V. 1 year ago on Google
    Great building with lots of room and lots of history. All the beer varieties you could ever ask for. Our only disappointment was aspects of the food. Everything tasted great but fish tacos deserved more actual fish. You can see that the majority of that dish was cabbage. The arugula and prosciutto pizza was very good as well, but needed more prosciutto and not to be drowned in arugula. Easy fixes. I’ll return and likely try other menu items next time.

  • 3/5 James A. 1 year ago on Google
    Atmosphere, beer selection, and service are all great. And to come in for just that, this place is ideal. But be prepared to yell if you want to chat with friends & your server if you want to be heard - it's super loud here. And a few of the appetizers are good, but avoid everything else on the menu except the burgers. Meals are thrown together and are a COMPLETE let down; entrees look great, but the taste and quality is a disaster. Go for food anywhere else, and then come to Craft for drinks.

  • 4/5 Juliana O. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is nice, the food is delicious and there are many options of drinks to choose from. When we were there they seemed to be short staffed and it took a while to receive our orders. But the staff were nice. We ordered shareables TACO FRIES and CRISPY CHICKEN SLIDERS, they are both delicious. The crispy chicken I forgot to take pictures of. Book ahead of time if you can, or you will have to wait to be seated.

  • 4/5 Ans Maria M. 1 year ago on Google
    An awesome place for trying craft beer. We ordered 6 piece samplers that offers a variety of craft beers yo try. The food we ordered were good. The ambience looked good inside. But we got a seating which is at the second floor and at a corner and could not enjoy the ambience completely. If you are looking for good craft beers visit this place and you won't be disappointed.

  • 4/5 Pooya M. 2 years ago on Google
    Craft Beer Market False Creek is located in Olympic Village neighborhood, downtown Vancouver. Its a stylish and modern outpost with over 100 beers and fresh food. 🍺 Order the Six Pack Sampler with two options of “Local Love” & “World Tour”. There is a paper guide for you to know which is which. 🍻 If you are into sour beer, definitely try Moody Lavender Sour (4.9%). Its served in a nice glass (pic). 🍱 Nacho Barrel is a nice sharable, yet not as perfect as it should be compared to other breweries in town (try Score on Davie’s). 🍕 If you are into salty pizza, try Prosciutto Arugula & Bacon Fun Guy. The atmosphere is really unique and you’ll enjoy and have a good time with friends. The servers are warm and friendly and take care of your order properly. Enjoy!👌

    It appears to be a nice restaurant situated in a characteristic building, which adds to the welcoming ambiance for a pleasant dining experience. The courteous and professional service of the staffs left us a good impression. And of course the food items are delicious.
