1000 Austin Ave, Coquitlam, BC V3K 3P1, Canada
Since our doors first opened in 1978, a lot has changed at the John B, yet so much remains the same. Our space is considerably different but the way we treat our guests hasn’t changed a bit. Anyone who has stopped by the John B for lunch, to unwind after work, watch the game or make a night of it can tell you, we truly offer something special. Boasting the largest back bar in BC with over 465 different spirits, one of the most impressive draught selections in the province with 86 different taps, live music featuring the best local DJs and musicians, and a unique spin on upscale bar food; we truly have something for everyone.
Best place to hit especially Friday nights while they have In house DJ or live music. Food and drinks are awesome and the staff are super nice and helpful.
It's been a while since I've been to the John B Pub, a friend of mine and myself decided after a few years to go for lunch.Sure glad we decided to go to the "B" The food in the past has always been so consistent and very good. And happy to say after a few years it's still the same ( absolutely consistent ) We both had the JB Bacon Double Cheese Burger, with me having the Onion Rings, and the friend of mine the Fries and a Gluten free Bun for him as well. Burgers were outstanding and extremely flavorful and definitely fresh, Onion Rings and Fries were both on point also. Add a couple beers to everything... And perfect...!!! Service was very good, and our server always came around to see how we were doing. Now that many of us are retired early now, we all may be going to the John B Pub more often for lunch. By the way the menu has so much to offer, and covers everyone's needs. Seems like they downsized the menu a bit, because I definitely remember it being so many pages to turn lol. It was almost too much to choose from before. Now it seems to be the perfect menu size, that still covers everyone's needs. Cheers will be back...
Had a lovely dinner with my family at this pub! Very tasty food and fantastic selection of craft beer! I was so glad to see Fat Tug on tap! ❤️
The food is good, love the steak. Happy hour offers good choice and always a wide range of drinks to choose from.
It was okay, nothing fabulous. Salmon bowl was pretty good. Chicken club was delish and so was the soup of the day (beef barley). But the $2.75 upcharge for anything other than fries is atypical and a bit much. They don't do tasters "because they have so many beers" - uh, that's exactly why you should do tasters (like every other place), but you could make a limit of 2-3!?! It took two requests and nearly 45min to get water. And the server brought a different 'beertail' than the one I ordered, which I only noticed on our bill (also nearly half are actually 'cidertails'??). Not rushing back.
Enjoyed my visit here yesterday. Our server was mostly attentive, and the atmosphere was good. I appreciate that the music was low enough for casual conversation. The salt & pepper wings were crispy and flavorful, the garlic prawns cooked perfectly and my guest's meal (Pad Thai) smelled divine! I would love to return to sample other dishes here!

These words have all been said before, great local pub, great food, great meeting place, nice staff and atmosphere. Would definitely return again for John B's food with fair food pricing, great tacos and excellent happy hour menu. Nice to see this pub takes reservations and were willing to seat us at a table that was reserved for a later time (game playoff night). We saw many neighbourhood pub regulars or people that knew each other. Many beer taps, too many to count and the "Scotch List" was enormous, both in varieties and in years offered. Great place. Walk home.
Johnny B was recommended by friends and wow, it did not disappoint!! Ginger Beef appetizer was excellent. The Salmon bowl and Chicken stir-fry were also excellent. Not your traditional Pub food, much better. Also great happy hour specials and great service!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good ahi tuna nachos
Great place for good drinking and fun with friends and happy friendly staff
Work/Retirement function. Area just proper size, server was kind,courteous, very friendly, knowledgeable to comings and goings of everyone. Fulfilled orders regardless of demand. Need more people like her.
This is one of the last great neighborhood pubs
Service was good overall but food wasnt as good as expected.
This is the best kind of sports bar. The food is especially good for its kind, excellent selection on drinks, great space, great service. Happy hour prices are well worth it. We ll be back! Dietary restrictions: People who are sensitive to soybean oil, rejoice. The fries are entirely canola oil!
John B provides great value beers on the weekend.
Haven t been in awhile and won t be back. Horrible service asked 3 times for glasses of water and nothing. Had to ask twice for refills on the drinks. Horrible ceasars. The only good thing I have to say is at least the sub par food was hot.
Great neighborhood pub
Perfect Pub with awesome menu and atmosphere.
Great spot to watch the NFL games. Lots of TVs and a decent brunch offering.
i live in the neighborhood and have been here a few times. the place has great drinks and food selection. however, i felt neglected by the staff a few times i was here, no particular reason but they never seemed to pay attention to my table. while they were really nice talking to us and helping us with our orders, they were just not frequenting our table enough even though we had lots to order. Hopefully this changes next time i go as i really do like the bar!!
Friendly staff and great food!
Food was phenomenal and the menu is so impressive in its variety. And so fairly and reasonably priced for the quality. Will be a regular. So stoked. The Faux Wrap was so solid.
Sunday afternoon-waited @ front for 10-15 minutes for a hostess to set us. Placed at a table. No menus. Sat there for 15 mi utes with no service. A table got seated beside us-given menus and were served. We walked out. We ve been here before with amazing service. Not acceptable.
A local gem. Both food and beverage selection is great. The building is wheelchair accessible. The access to public transit and taxi/Uber is easy. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
Overall underwhelming experience. Slow impersonal service. Below average bar burgers. I had the john b burger hoping for a signature dish made well. The main problem seems to be not enough waitresses.
Visited whilst I was on Holiday, and the atmosphere for the NFL game was great! Lots of different beer options, and the staff were keeping tabs on us for further drinks in a timely manner
had an amazing time there food and drinks were good
Best cauliflower appetizer Worse teriyaki chicken Tasted like salt Zero teriyaki taste zero
Went here on a random Wednesday night and it seemed it was trivia night! We did not participate but watched and it seemed very fun and there was a great atmosphere. The food was pretty solid as well and wasnt super expensive. They have a massive selection of tap beers. I tried a local tap that was very good but then got a asahi super dry on tap and It tasted horrible. It tasted like their taps had not been cleaned as the taste was nothing like what asahi should taste like. I would say be careful on the beer you order and maybe only get local beer as it seemed to taste a lot better from my experience.
Nice place
If you like football followed by karaokee then there is no better place on a Sunday.
Had a great time at the karaoke night that takes place every Sunday. The drinks were top notch, I particularly enjoyed the Hi There hard iced tea. The waitstaff was a bit difficult to flag down sometimes, but the service was great otherwise. Definitely will be coming back for karaoke and drinks again.
Always a good decision.
Always a great place to, great food, atmosphere and service!
Great happy hour prices!
Awesome food and atmosphere. Amazing service, thank you Sarah!
If youre looking for a nice relaxing pint or a bite to eat, this place has a little something for all.
Great selection of food, friendly prices, friendly staff, usual pub atmosphere..
I like it but that day was too crowded and noisy
This is definitely a chill older crowd place. Think about being a retired surfer and chilling out. Great patio, music and can even take your older aunts, mum and grandparents for lunch and brunch. Love it. Late night cannot respond. But a community feel here among a quiet places amongst the towering metropolis of skyscrapers down the road.
Great food and better service, highly recommended :)
I drove 20 minutes to come for their Monday Wings special. When I arrived there was a sign to seat myself. Every seat was reserved and i was not approached by any staff to tell me they had an event so I spent 2 minutes walking around. I checked all of their social media platforms and they are still actively promoting dine in specials while not accepting any customers.
Love the John beet salad.. but we always came for the Tomahawk with Hasselbeck potato.. now that it is not offered, not really interested. We can go anywhere to get the same mundane typical menu closer to home.. thank you for the fantastic service and atmosphere though.. just sucks you are arranging your menu like all the other places around the lower mainland. Typical and mediocre for the price.
Very disappointed by the customer service. We were denied to even sit there and have something to eat just because we didn t had ID s. We were not gonna drink today but they didn t even let us sit. I just wanted to eat fries as this was my thing. This used to be my favourite place as we live 10min away from the place. Not anymore. Very sad about that.
Its the best neighborhood pub, the food is great, excellent service and a great selection of different types of beers..
Loveeee john b
Everything is great about this place! Dont pass it up! Service is quick and amazing, atmosphere is so inviting and great! Nothing bad to say at all!
Its a great local gem. A lot of variety for food and drinks. Nachos are fully loaded, large shareable portions. Ive had two large gatherings (25+ people) here and they are always accommodating. I definitely recommend visiting
I simply LOVE this place! I discovered John B Pub shortly after I moved to Canada and it s been my fav pub to date. I ve visited quite a few times and it s ALWAYS great, same quality (or better), excellent service, great atmosphere. There s never been a single incident where I was disappointed - thank you so much for providing consistently excellent experiences!
I was most impressed with wonderful hekp while at this store. Couldnt be more helpful. I was asking re lovely drink Mama Mango. I had a friend get me a few bottles of this item from Costco in Calgary. I could have ordered a dozen in a case. When sharing & loved, it goes quickly. Cost is $8.98 + 5% tax. I didnt go to John B Pub, liqor store next to it. John B has great service, good food too. Never disappointed!
A retirement function was held there Sept. 19, the management was unfriendly and non supportive of our celebration program The JOHN B GETS A D FROM ME. I wont be back or recommend this place.
Perfect requested food everytime and friendly staff
Great neighborhood pub. Really good food . Lots of TV for all your favorite Sports
Great Pub that hosts Charity events for Bikers. Big parking Space, happy our deals for drinks are reasonably priced. Great service.
Was on the patio recently enjoying the summer but another patron a few tables away (who may have been overserved) was loudly using prophanity for a long period of time. I asked the server about their policy and would they do anything and I was told that since it was an adult establishment and no minors were allow, the pub wouldnt interfer with the very rude patron, then I left. We all know that children have been allowed in all pubs for over ten years, they just cant drink. This was a very sad experience.
It cannot go wrong
Nice pub. Very popular. You need to book at weekend nights ahead.
What a neighborhood pub should be! Great service and food everytime we come here. Great patio as well. Parking: not an issue. free
Went there for my buddies birthday party. Great music food and atmosphere.. no more clubs, but dj was great with mixes kept everyone dancing.
This was my first time here and I really enjoyed it. I got the shrimp pasta with white wine sauce and it was delicious. It was also on special that day (I believe it was a happy hour situation or because of the day of the week) either way, it was fantastic and the server was great too. Ill be back. Parking: The parking lot was busy but I was able to get a spot.
Classic neighbourhood pub great times there nice and relaxing. I like to think its named after the Sloop John B from the Beach Boys Song but I have no idea. Parking: Strip mall style parking. Free and plenty
Great place for beers!!! Staff are excellent!!
Nice local pub. It was really busy when we visited as it was quiz night but the server found us a table. The pub had a good selection of beer and wines at reasonable prices. The food was ok.
Sunday nights are karaoke nights!! Amazing vibe here. Absolutely love it and food never disappoints!! Friday night dance floors!!
Excellent.. super delicious
Amazing service. Very prompt
Great pub, great beer and wine store
Happy hour every day from 2-6pm. Smaller food portions, wide selection!
Atmosphere sucks , loud sports announcing from different games in unison, service sucks and robotic , air conditioning is as if in a freezer
One of Coquitlam s finest. Always delivers good food and a great atmosphere.
Its such a fun pub with a great menu. They let me book a big event in their space, and it worked out so well. The happy hour menu was a hit and everyone enjoyed the drinks and eats.
While my visits are infrequent, they are always delightful. I recently enjoyed the tail end of their happy hour and was fortunate to be served by the remarkable Megs. Her friendly demeanor, helpful nature, and attentiveness made the experience exceptional.
Went to the John B on a Wednesday evening. Greeted by a very friendly hostess at the door and taken right away to a table on the patio. The patio is large and very open, with tvs outside and a roof. The server was quick to greet us at the table and bring us menus, the beer menu was outdated and had items they no longer carry, so the waitress got us an updated version. Had the conquistador burger and fries and the burger was top notch, fries were delicious and the dipping sauce was good as well. Waitress Brandi was very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and get us new drinks. Was quick to bring the bill and friendly for our entire visit. Would definitely go again.
They make delicious ribs
Casual and comfortable. The high ceiling and well laid out seating make for good conversation. My burgers were good both my recent visits. There is a number of products from local breweries on tap. May 24 update: I tried the conquisitor burger and it was good. Parking: Part of a plaza, shared outdoor parking lot.
Great staff,prompt attentive service. Good food.
Review to follow
Best pub food Ive had in a long time and go during happy hour and they have a lot of good drinks then and good priced appetizers and entrees.
SERVICE: Great experience with Courteney this Monday night! The service was incredible, fast, and knowledgeable. FOOD: We had wings, chicken karage, and spring rolls. Everything was hot and crispy. LOVED THIS PLACE! 100% would come again. :)
John B Pub is a long standing model of consistency. Their food service and atmosphere go unrivaled in Coquitlam. Always good for just the food but the nightly entertainment is also worth going for. We have our volleyball wrap up twice a year and the variety of appies are all excellent. The chicken wings are exceptional
Fun place to dance Fridays or Saturdays.
My second time there, service is always top notch, food fantastic. Parking: Pub is located in a strip mall, with ample parking for all the businesses. Food : 5/5 |
The staff is absolutely amazing and super nice !
74 taps and flights available, what not to like? Awesome tuna burger and very friendly staff. Karaoke night on Sunday to go with the whole day Happy hour.
Great wait staff. Wheelchair accessibility: There are only two spots, but lots of close to the door, with a ramp spots Food : 5/5 |
Nice good food and social platform
Great place to catch a game and enjoy time with friends.
First time here. What an absolute treat. I had the crispy mac and cheese, and i wish i was a ruminant so i could have 3 stomachs to fill up with this delicious concoction. GREAT JOB!
Amazing food, great beer selection and one of the best places in Coquitlam to watch the game.
It is a very nice place and awesome beer selection. Looks like a place to also dance during Saturday night. The only issue for me was that the music was too loud, I couldnt hear anything my friends were telling me nor the server talking. Anyway, I recommend the chocolate cookie for dessert, it was delicious.
Always a pleasure at our neighborhood pub. The outdoor seating was wonderful on a sunny day, and the drinks were delightful! I am also overjoyed to find Crab Rangoon! Parking: Plenty of parking in the free lot, as well as handicapped spots. Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids. Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicapped parking and a wheelchair ramp. The floors are able to be navigated with a wheelchair.
A pretty standard, old-school pub/restaurant. While theres nothing truly exceptional about the food and service (I mean they are good, but not WOW), I really loved the ambiance, which feels like a true community hub.
Definitely the best pub in Coquitlam, staff are great, and food is more that what youd expect for pub food. I only go during the week and its still a great time.
Service, menu, price, all A1. Every time we ve been here, it s always been a treat
Lots of good IPAs on the menu, nice staff.
Nice place to be, if you like a good beer, food and service.
Good pub with decent prices. Good for a casual drink or parties on the weekend. Chicken wings are decent with a beer on wings days.
Second time visiting, ordered the Nashville side chick burger this time, got the spare change cheeseburger and calamari last time. Taste 0/1* Their cheese burger is surprisingly good, though can not say the same with the other 2 items. Value 1/1* Happy hour has good selection of beer at good price, my personal fav is the yellow dog. Interesting side note: their Tuesday special is beer and burger for $14, but it s the regular cheese burger and coors, which adds up to $12.50 during happy hour Service 1/1* Fast and friendly Cleanliness 1/1* Decently clean for a pub Overall/Revisit 1/1* Would be back for a beer Paying for ambience? 0/-1* NO Above and beyond? 0/+1* NO
The food is really good. The lamb is delicious
Food came fast & hot & waitress was really friendly & nice.
John B burger is the best.
Came here for brunch with my husband, I got the Seoul bowl, he got the eggs Benedict. The bowl was delicious, highly recommend.
We went on a Friday night, the restaurant pub atmosphere went from great to bopping with great music. Service was fantastic and food was really really good. Definitely will be back.
Awesome trivia nights!
Great pub with great food and bevvies mixed with variety of seating sometimes music or sit by fireplace.
Katie is the best server
Courtney at the front desk is hilarious. She acts like she s a secret service agent at this place. Really she s just a power tripping 40 year old adult that disrespects everyone she encounters
Had to take my 5 star down to a 2 star. Not a fan of the limited breakfast menu until noon, why not just do full menu always? I thought that was more of a McDonalds/ A&W kind of thing.
Great service, great food. The beer selection is next level. Love going to tho place. Food : 5/5
The John B is always good for food and a beverage. The service was excellent and the experience fantastic.
Very good food and friendly staff
Cool Celtic dancing on St. Patricks day, Green beer available. Staff dressed in green. But zero irish music or specials otherwise. Was actually pretty let down on St. Patricks day, food was good.
The gold standard by which all others are judged.
Big menu, delicious food, good drinks, Best Menu for Whiskey, excellent customer service, reasonable price. Thank you guys. Food
enjoyed huge selection of beverages. For beer lovers recommend to try Birthday IPA.
The John B. Been around forever. Always a good time!
Visited a few times for breakfast and lunch, both with colleagues from work, and personally. Generally a good experience, nice interior and staff.
A stable in the neighborhood. Good food, music and vibes. Beers on tap are decently priced. Always a good time.
Classic pub atmosphere with very good food and friendly staff. Definitely a neighbourhood favourite.
Fantastic Pub! Friendly people! Great Service!! Creative Menu! Lots of TVs for Sports! Happy Hour too!!
Food was good and service was good
Food was delicious
Staff will make you feel welcome. Food is great service great.
I ve frequented John Bs for almost a year now, and every single time I go in it feels like home. Every staff member is wonderful, the food is always great, and they ve got awesome happy hour specials. I m from a small town on vancouver island and it was really hard for me coming to the mainland to start something new. When I was introduced to this pub it immediately made me feel like I was back home where everyone was so friendly. I love the staff, I love the dance floor, I love the ginger beef, I love the John B!
This place is like a pub meets club meets restaurant. Its like a mix of all three. Its a pub and restaurant during the day and club in the evenings. Service from the waitress we got was phenomenal. She was just so great. Was even looking out for the people that were designated drivers and not pressuring drinks and even offering to bring a substitute drink so that you could fit it. Even though it was so busy, she was able to be so accommodating and attentive. 5 starts for service!!
Drinks and burgers are phenomenal, highly recommend
Awful. Hard pass on this place guys its as sad and low as Coq can get.
Pretty nice pub, always busy with lots of people Parking: Just that spot Is always fairly busy as its not just a pub in the area, always a struggle but usually find something Food : 5/5 |
Loud at times but a fun atmosphere
