86 Semisch Ave, North Vancouver, BC V7M 3H8, Canada
Unpretentious tavern with house-brewed beers & pub grub, plus a deck & views of the harbour.
Would not recommend. Went here for some food and drinks with some friends to celebrate a birthday, service was poor and the staff had the audacity to not only accuse a friend of doing drugs in the bathroom but just straight up kick him out. If you like your nights to be interrupted and false accusations made against you for drugs use, then this is the perfect place!
They kicked my boyfriend out for doing drugs in the bathroom when he DID NOT do any. Do not come here. It is not worth it. The food is almost as bad as the drinks.
Kicked my buddy out for doing coke in the washroom for no reason. He was with me the entire time and is drug free . Maybe talk to the person who accused before actually kicking the person out. Worst establishment in all of north van. Never go here
The way I was treated by the individuals at the door today. There is a good chance I won't be returning......... If you would like stuff stolen on from your table when you are in the bathroom, then come here all you want. I would spend my money in east Vancouver before I came back here....( The manager wasn't helpful either) ...... Be mindful of where you drink and eat........"different people" could be serving you".... Customer service matters............ And I can tell the management doesn't give a rats A$$ about the reviews that are left here.....
We went here for the first time on Canada Day to listen to a dj session. It was a beautiful day outside, and I was surprised to see that many people. They have a nice patio and great friendly service, and I enjoyed their crispy tofu, with a side salad. So we listened to some great music and a good lunch.
Ack!! This is such a tough review! I hate to give such low stars but the owners need to PAY attention!! Starting from bad to good. The drinks, um no drinks list? No wine list? Come on! You have a beer and wine store right next door. I will add that the bartender (who is awesome btw and is in my pictures because I didn’t get his name) said he was redoing the wine list. The wine is yuck but hopefully they will bring in some options. The food, cringey… if you can’t even get a hamburger figured out and you are a pub, there needs to be some changes!! The beef dip had a chance if it had some flavour like a horseradish mayo or something!! I will say the pork rinds on the appetizer list is surprisingly good! Parking sucks! Just walk, honestly. Now what you have been waiting for THE GOOD: first off, the STAFF. They are great, super helpful and friendly. This was a busy hockey playoff night and they were great. 5+ stars for the staff!! (We have been here on a not as busy afternoon and the service was a bit questionable but the server was really friendly and sweet) all in all I really feel like the staff is so nice. LOCATION: this is a great location and a really nice atmosphere. The seats are comfortable, it’s a nice layout, lots of room, pool tables, darts, karaoke and lots of TVs for sports. COME ON OWNERS step up your game make the food and the drinks list better and you will get a better midweek crowd as well as a better weekend following. Add some live music, good North Shore Bands & not just karaoke, to this and it will be pure gold!!
Had a pretty good visit here - amazing to have a pub with this view! A glut of TVs, but no beer menu or list of cost of wines by the glass? Tuna burger leaned towards cooked rather than seared, yam fries were way salty (but regular fries were good), and they messed up our order but obvs didn't know and we were in a bit of a rush. Decent, but not rushing back.
My first time here and I really enjoyed my visit. They have an extensive pub menu that I chose nachos from...they were delicious though could have used more cheese :) There are lots if Tv's for the sports fans and a pool table , darts area . It has a great view from the back of the bar that spans over the inlet to Downtown Vancouver . I will visit their patio when summer returns to enjoy some friends, good food , cocktails and that beautiful view.
Good food, great atmosphere love going there for lunch.
Great food, awesome service and overall great time to spend on the weekends!
This bar made me leave for doing illegal drugs on the 15th of November when I DID NOT. It was my birthday weekend and I was hoping to celebrate but I guess not. Worst bar in north Vancouver.
Kicked my friend out on his birthday for doing drugs even though i was with him. He did not do drugs. Worst place in north van.
Such a terrible establishment... Terrible staff, even worse food and beverage. Atmosphere is awful and everyone is so rude. 0/10 would not recommend to anyone visiting North Vancouver.
Late 2024 edit: new owners again? Decent wing special, nicely priced pints, packs out on the weekends but is still chilled out during the week, place is nearly back to its former glory! Edit: Food has gone downhill with the new ownership, wings are now bulked out with breadcrumbs and taste a bit funky, if you told me they were fish fingers Id believe you. Menu has changed, no ribs etc. Decent wings specials and the best wings Ive had in North Van (so far), have tried a few other mains from the menu and was pleasantly surprised. Very reasonably priced drinks, staff are always friendly and on-point.
Fantastic pub! I had the Stanley Park Trailhopper IPA and Steamworks Flagship IPA with some waffle fries. Great atmosphere!
Probably the only late night bar left on the North Shore. A bit pricey and loud, but what bar isnt? Youll have fun if youre young.
Good value and place to go with friends! Service
The beef dip is a great value. The beef is roasted in the restaurant, so you arent getting deli meet. Great service too
Food was excellent, I ordered their steak medium rare and it was cooked perfectly We originally went for their karaoke night, but it didn t happen until really late in the evening
Prices are right! $5 lager?!! Noice Food
service was good. Only about ten people in the pub.
Atmosphere so fun pool karaoke darts and the girls on Friday Saturday and the bouncers friendly guys.. Im going there every Friday and Saturday for sure
Enjoyed toking on the patio and had a wonderful poutine!
Tried out the poutine and when I was there they were doing Tokin Tuesday.
Lauren was amazing and made for an amazing day! Thanks for hosting Tokin Tuesday! Can t wait to visit again!
Food and beer were great.
Generally happy with this place
This place used to be so good...the food is complete garbage now. What a waste.
A guy next to me said: I am glad i find another place who has good food. After eating an hagar salad ( thats the picture) and a rice bowl, i believe the guy. its good. The guy ate the steak sandwich so on my next visit, i will have one. Next thing you know after he left two females sat beside me and order wings. When i saw those wings, i order some for myself without any regrets. I am from Vancouver and made it a trip to north Vancouver and i will return to Sailor Hagar that is for sure
Parking: $5 per hour Food
Had the Original burger and fries. The burger was over cooked, too small and the fries were a very small portion and were soggy. Definitely not worth $16.75, Id rather eat at McDonalds than get that garbage.
No longer a brewery or brew pub. Its just a bar.
fix your menu on the website. Friday craft happy hour , says 9pm to close which is NOT true. Just saying this so yall make the menu legible and understandable.
Good food, great, friendly service.
Cant find a negative rating here Sailor Hagar is a shame now 1 hour wait after placing order in no peak hours when half the restaurant was empty And to top it off the bad attitude of our server. Please do yourself a favor.. just shut the damn place down We have been going to Sailor Hagar for years...It has only deteriorated
Great little place by the sea. Very easy going, was never crowded heavily and the waitress was usually on us for orders or asking how everything was. The fried beef dip was as expected, still good but nothing much to stand out. The rueben was a personal favorite of mine. Wish the fries were crisper but was quickly forgotten by the fact they had malt vinegar. It was odd to be out of some food come dinner rush but I didnt hold it against them. Overall a great little pub tucked away right in north van.
Good atmosphere and location, unfortunately their fish and chips was very rubbery and 2 of the servers were not very friendly (tbf it was somewhat busy) but took over 20 mins of trying to call the server to finally order my food... Tries calling one of them again after my food arrived and was told they couldnt help me because they were busy (the server then just went talk with people they knew for the rest of the night..)
Great place you can smoke cigars on the patio!!
Just like every other pub soliciting alcoholism
Nice place to casually dine. Seems to be more of a pub focused on appetizers and various day dinner specials
Service is slow! Nachos took 75 minutes to arrive on a regular evening. No comps or apologies for the lagging service
The place needs an overhaul. Food delivery times are terrible, clocking in at over 1 hour for appetizers and everything is madness at the front end. North Van needs establishments like this, but management has to work on the service and kitchen
Nice place good service loved it
Manager got in our faces and was very accusatory for breaking the pool table door when the pool table door was not broken.
Came here last night for food and got the veggie platter. They had no hummus. They said they would sub for mushrooms. The mushrooms came out soft and cooked lol ummmm this is no veggie platter. The platter on its own was 4 cucumbers, 4 carrots and peppers for 15 bucks. No thanks. The wings were so gross, dry, barely any meat. I had two and couldn t eat anymore. The waitress kept forgetting our things and she seemed off somewhere else in her own world. Not even sure why I tipped but I was in a rush to get the heck out of here. What a turn off !!! My friend got the beef deep and it was dry and horrible. I had a bite and had to spit it out. I spent 135 on our table and should ve looked at the receipt cause I guarantee you she charged me for that platter I sent back and didn t even touch. I want my money back if anything but it s sailor Hagers and I doubt they would even do that so here s a review on our experience instead
Nice old-school bar. Beers are affordable, but other drinks are same as at other places. Food is bar food, so dont expect too much. I like going there for some darts or pool with some beers.
We were visiting from Montreal and we found this place stuff was great. Unfortunately we couldn t stay for longer. Wheelchair accessibility: Great place nearby the marina on the first floor easy access
A real Pub
Great view of the harbour and downtown and great food at good prices. They recently went through a change in management and it seems to be going very well. I like the changes
Its a club. I was expecting to sit down with a couple of my friends and drink but ended up dancing till 2 am. Recommend
10pm on new years eve and still no music playing... pretty sad
Good times
Fridays and Saturdays = karaoke and DJ. Drink prices are affordable. I love this place. For any age range :)
Class place
Nice crack
Best establishment in north Van. Only real pub where your treated like home.
This place is amazing, best vibe & drinks!
I like this pub
The problems never end with Hagars. I live in the neighborhood. Called in an attempt to order food for pickup. The server asked me to call back. As I asked when...she hung up on me. Ok, thats fine. Ill take my business elsewhere if youre not able or disinterested in it. Bye bye.
10/10 vibes , cheap drinks, fun times and a fancy view of the ocean and downtown. What more could a Northvanian wish for?
Great beer and good prices, awesome atmosphere in the evenings
Came here Christmas Eve as it was the only bar open. They kept the place open for awhile. I think I was here last midnight. All the staff were still happy to be there and very nice all night. They were all enjoying themselves even working on a holiday. So grateful to have them stay open so we could enjoy a few drinks out. Very nice staff especially Sabrina was fun!
Go here if you want to be treated like less than a person by their staff/security.
One of the very last old school Pub-style experiences left on the North Shore. They have karaoke on friday nights and its less than a 10 minute walk from the Seabus terminal. Sailor Hagars can get very busy friday and saturday nights. Its not uncommon to see lines outside later at night during weekend evenings. The crowd at Sailors is usually varied: plenty of young people in between spaces of older regulars who live in the area. You will be asked to show ID at the door on weekends usually after a certain time. This bar has a coin operated pool table and a couple dart boards. Staff here are professional and friendly. Security are thorough and prompt at their jobs. Bartenders are usually knowledgable, hard working and quick. The food here is the usual stuff youd find on a pub menu. Ive never had a meal from Sailor Hagars that I didnt like. You can smoke on their patio! Another rarity in the city these days.
Has a lovely warm fireplace where I sat and drank beer. Food was delicious. 5/5, wish I lived nearby
It is what it is. This is a lonely hearts club pub catering to mostly single men or couples who simply dont want to dress up or put too much effort into their time out. Its a cold cheap beer in hand, friendly staff, excellent view of the harbour and food thatll fill yer gut. All of that makes this a good neighbourhood to drown your sorrows ...
Local spot for drinks close to two of my besties places. Open late. Only good times.
Great prices
We ve lived in North Vancouver for many years, but never thought about coming to Sailor Hager s. Randomly stopped by this evening for an early dinner at around 6 PM. The place was fairly quiet, but we learned that things get hopping later on, with karaoke and other events. The food and beer was all very reasonably priced. Quality of the food was 10 out of 10. We had the vegetarian sandwich special and ahi tuna burger, with sides of Caesar salad and fries. We both agreed the food was one of the best meals we d had for a really long time, even comparing it with far more expensive restaurants. Staff was friendly and we were so impressed we will definitely come back again, and highly recommend it to others.
Food and service is excellent. I order the Tuna burger and would give it a 10 out 10. Whole experience was wonderful and look forward to going back.
Great North Van bar, my friends and I love playing pool here but stopped going because all their cue sticks are broken
The manager Mandy is a very rude person and since she took over , a lot of people don t go there anymore
Come on down to hagars, cuz theres nothing else on the north shore. I feel like that should be their slogan. Definitely not great but Ill give it 5 stars in the hopes that it draws more people out.
cool ahh place frfr
I suffered from discrimination last night ! The worst bar I have ever been ! I do not recommended. Bad service, rude staff and I will never come back. So sad story!
Great service
Horrible pub food is disgusting no toilet paper in bathroom nachos is just chips drinks r weak dont go....Pemberton station better
Good music and delicious food.
Friendly service, great atmosphere and good selection of beers on tap. Had a great time here with my girlfriend playing darts and pool. Would be a great place for a casual date or a night out with the boys.
Delicious food at extremely fair prices. One of my new North Van favourites for these reasons alone!
Cheap enough for a bar. Always a good time as far as the north shore is concerned. DJ goes hard every night, love that guy.
Went here for the first time on St. Patricks day and it was absolutely packed! That being said, the staff did a great job with the crowd, the drinks were reasonably priced, there were pool tables, darts and some karaoke going on. I would definitely visit again, but would aim to go on a less busy night.
Good atmosphere, fantastic décor, nice waiters and servers. Fun events, would come back for Karaoke on Fridays and Saturdays!
Used to love this place but the last few times have seen poor customer service and probably not going again
Meh
Have been to Sailor Hagars twice now and it has not disappointed. Great burgers and caesar salads at reasonable prices. Good gem at the bottom of Lonsdale.
Refused entry with a sleeping 5 month old baby for a quick pint
Had a horrible time at sailor hagars. Our bar tender was very rude and did not accommodate us with any respect. would not recommend this establishment.
Different owners so food is not so great
Probably one of the worst experiences Ive ever had at a restaurant! If youre a tourist or havent been here I highly recommend NOT coming here! The GM who claimed her name was Kelly but was then referred to as another by one of the staff members was extremely rude when speaking to our table. This place is all over the map when it comes to standards and systems. If you do decide to go expect horrible service, bad food, and even worse bar staff! Will never step foot in this establishment again!
shenanigans.
We must have visited on an off day.... The service was great, the atmosphere as expected, but the breakfast was the sadly the worst value I have been served - hands down - in a decade.
Overall average experience. Server wasnt very engaged. Food was average. View was ok.
We work above this location and come here all the time. I can t say enough good things about our server/bartender Donna. The happy hour menu is great value and Donna s service is just the cherry on top of the cake :)
Donna is so amazing. She takes our experience from good to GREAT every time. Foods good, prices are good, and if you want to chat up one of the regulars, they are all good people. Did I mention that Donna is the sh*t!? Love her!!
A lady was extremely drunk, and was being groped by a man at the bar. I told the bartender, who told me to leave. Inexcusable.
Best hamburger I have ever had.
I dont think I have ever felt so unwelcome in a pub. If you are not from that neighbourhood, highly suggest avoid.
Great uk style pub with pool darts and, karaoke, lots of events often happen worth while checking it out
What is the trick to finding a menu online?
This is a real old school bar and even though it was a very slow night (Thursdayaround7:30) there was more atmosphere than most of the new trendy spots. Our server/bartender made true old school Ceasars and was polite, friendly and attentive. Excellent prices too btw
I absolutely love Sailor Hagors, everything about it!! But most of all the staff is truly amazing, welcoming, great teamwork! The food is delicious. Id highly recommend to stop in enjoy yourself in a upbeat positive environment!!
Great food and did i say great food and super staff well worth a visit or 2 yuppers
Mandy was a good server and the nachos were amazing
Had a few beers in here on a Friday evening made welcome by the locals good craic good beer didnt have food but it Id look good
Nice!
the bartenders where amazing!! lost my phone and they caught me to bring it to me before I even left. Great team!
A place for decent food and drinks, this is the place to go. The staff on Saturday night needs to do a better job as when the Sunday crew comes in, they had to clean the tables and chairs before we could sit down, it was sticky and unclean to be ready for opening up for the Sunday morning crowd.
Its alright here. Didnt see any servers so just kept getting my drinks from bar.
This place has turned into a complete disgrace to the community. The new manager is a completely arrogant female who works as a law clerk and somehow a Bar manager at night. The place went from a nice place to get food and have drinks and play pool to a complete dive with kids running around underage and sitting in parks so drunk they are passing out trying to fight the community members whom are not drinking and causing issues for children whom like to play in the park late at night IE younger teens this has made it unsafe for them its sad I think the new manager needs to go cause she has no clue how to run an establishment nobody is cutting these teenage kids off when they get way to drunk its never been like this before I vote she leave and they get a new manager.
Came on Friday night for karaoke and pool!
Greatest place on earth! Great staff. Shoutout to my boy Tristan and Gary
Best spot in lonsdale!
Great pub! Friendly staff, the atmosphere is always positive, and shout out to management, Jerrell, who was very accommodating. Fun times, have karaoke as well!
Gary is the best!!!!
Great staff, Food and entertainment. Karaoke Friday and Saturday is always a fun time ! Food : 5/5
Gary sings Bennie and the jets better than Bennie
Love this place!! Can smoke on the patio 10/10!!
The best place I ve been in my whole entire life, Tristan the bartender is an absolute beauty
A good place with a patio. Decent beer selection. Nice view. The staff is friendly, they make you feel at home. The food is good. Prices are reasonable. Great place to watch sports. Also have pool and darts.
Cool place to have some drinks
Can t say I recommend the poutine, but the vibes were great.
Being scared is amazing. But I was here on Saturday and I missed more people like the bartender
Great pub feel, reasonable prices especially good happy hour. Nice to see these kind of establishments still in Vancouver. Recommended!
Staff are all amazing i absolutely love the vibe here
Never going there again. Second time the same barman scammed me. Ordered vodka with juice. Got only juice and barman thought I won t notice. Some people work hard to earn their money and these scumbags treat you with disrespect. Drinks are already expensive and they still trying to make money by scamming people. The same happened to my 2 friends. Fire those scumbags!
YKTV
Gary is the best bartender!!!!!
Gary s lit
Great place. Great atmosphere and a great place to catch a game!
Tristan is great!
Amazing place. Feels like home
Awesome place! The karaoke is always bumping and the drinks are cheap !!
I love this place
Best bartenders ever!! And best pub in the north shore
Jarelle is a top notch bartender. Don t ask for anyone else! Love this place
My coworkers and I used to go there all the time, but tonight was super disappointing! One of the waitresses avoided our table because we were international. All the tables around were White, so please dont go if you are not a white Canadian. They will avoid you! #racist
was in north van last week and went to sailor hagars for a burger, omg soooooooo delisb and our server, she was awesome
Under New Management. Cool neighbourhood spot and food and drinks were great. Thanks for the great service last night! Oh and also one of the only places where you can smoke on the patio! Parking: Free parking on the main street right out front
I used to stop in at the pub every now and again and it was ok. Just went recently a d it was probably the worst Ive seen. The bartender was super rude they were severly under staffed. They had one waitress for the whole place it took over an hour for a burger that arrived cold. More then 20 min to get another drink. The place has changed would not recommend going
Service was very slow. First drink on the table after half an hour of waiting. Waitress came after 1,5h of waiting with announcement that they dont have what we ordered. We were group and said what we wanna eat before head so they could order it. Unbelievable. When food finally arrived we ate it as hunger was huge. Cannot say tasty, just ok. No reason to come back.
Warm and friendly place!
Great service, great food, friendly staff, relaxing atmosphere.
Probably one of the best places to watch a game around North Van Waterfront. Good food too.
Here now, Awesome love it Menu is fantastic Karaoke is sublime
Very fun pub. Its packed on Friday nights so be prepared for a crowd. The food is great and the servers are very friendly.
Sailor Hagar showed up and poured drinks for everybody
It was a relaxing time, great chicken wings!!
Awfull
Great pool and people
Used to love this pub. Now new owners that have zero people skills. Staff are treated poorly. Treat your staff with respect and business will bloom.. Will never return!!
Fairly standard bar, good place for games of pool
The wings/bluecheese was really good and the manager is a nice guy.
Fun!
Really obnoxious crowd at night, pretty trashy.
Owner changed approx 18 months ago and menu prices not updated so charging more than advertised. In womens bathroom toilet paper dispenser is held on wall by tape! Website menu is outdated as menu much smaller than advertised. Felt sorry for nice server as mgmt obviously managing this place poorly!
Came here to kill some time with friends. Our server was nice at first but as it started to get busy they were much more rude. I ordered food for takeout and nobody brought it to me despite the kitchen ringing the bell and my food sitting at the window. The poutine I ordered was just sad The menu is small with not a lot of options. Interior is dated and the ladies washroom is kinda.... Broken
Rude staff.Under new owner ship/management apparently. Going there for over 20 years.Prices jumped.I wont be back.
Nice place to go after work.
Great breakfast every Sunday
Has a classic friendly bar atmosphere, cheap drinks, and a killer food menu. Billiards and darts are the icing on the cake.
I go to this almost every Fri night Last Friday the service was horrible I mentioned it to the new manager now iam banned from going there when did complaining about service get you banned apparently she has now barr
Awful service
Went there on Saturday. Buddy bit into chicken wing only to lose a tooth. While yes it wasnt the bars fault. New manager had zero sympathy. Said while we understand your concern this had nothing to do with us. Buddy offered to pay for everything he ordered except the wings. She got the security and they threatened to call the police for him not paying his bill. He never said he wasnt paying for his bill. Just didnt want to pay for the wings. Security said police was waiting outside to arrest him. There was no police. Manager said police report was already filed and video evidence was in the hands of police. Not sure how all that can be done in 15 minutes. Upon leaving one of the security guards was taunting my friend while the other one who was professional was telling him to stop. I used to be a customer that went 4-5 times a month. Will not be going back.
Fun environment and decent place to visit on a weekend. Great staff always
