4503 Margaret St, Port Alberni, BC V9Y 8A7, Canada
Bringing people together in one space to drink meticulously crafted beer and enjoy thoughtfully prepared food. Our brewery and lounge is nestled in the Alberni Valley on Vancouver Island, BC. Come visit us!
Unbelievable food and beer! We had the mean streets pizza - just incredible. The dough is perfect. Had the mini Thai salad and it has the perfect amount of heat! Highly recommend!!!
We stop here for lunch on a longer drive. Amazing food! Easy parking. Lovely patio with lots of space indoors as well. I also loved that they offer 6 oz beer servings a la cart (for a very reasonable price). The tap beer selection was nice with clear and helpful descriptions of each beer on a digital menu. However, the beer was served a bit on the warm side, especially for how hot it was outside. A colder tap temperature or chilled glasses would have improved the flavors and overall experience of the beers. Service was acceptable, but nothing to write home about.
Very pleasant atmosphere due to the enthusiastic and friendly service! I love all the detailed information on the selection of beers, all great flavours too. The initial idea of one flight turned into two, couldn’t resist trying the wings and then also filling up our growler! Very satisfied with our visit
Amazing. The vibe here is super friendly and cool. They are super helpful staff and have a great selection of beers which are all amazing! The pizza is one of the best I’ve had. A super unique way of doing pizza but super good
We had a good experience here, we went for our anniversary dinner and it was our first time. The food was very tasty, we got the gnarly garly pizza and the spuds appetizer. Super delicious 👌🏼 definitely coming back!
Visited this place many times and we have never been disappointed. Great beer, great pizza and great service. Definitely would recommend and we will be going back very soon.
Finally got here, the long drive was certainly worth it. Their beer was fantastic, love their use of Citra hops. Service was top notch and the food was very good. Worth visiting if you are in the area and absolutely worth the journey if you are not. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.
This is our second time here, and it was even better! We went for a drive just to get away, and decided to grab lunch here with our daughter. It was amazing! We had the Maui Waui pizza and the Jalapeno one (I can't remember the name). SO good! The crust was crispy, yet stretchy at the same time, not at all doughy or greasy! Very fresh ingredients, and the pineapple and balsamic reduction perfectly balanced out the saltiness of the prosciutto! I honestly think that this may very well be consistently the best pizza I have tasted on Vancouver Island! My husband loved the beer he had as well, enough to buy some to take for home! Service was very friendly and prompt, and the restaurant and washrooms very clean! I am glad we stopped in, and we will definitely be back again! Update: January 2023. Back again! Everything was spectacular once again, consistent quality!
Great beer. Great service.
Most food things were sold out when we went and they had a notice up that they were understaffed and so there would be some shorter hours and longer waits, which is understandable. That said, food was delicious when it got around to us, took around 40min, beers are always on point. Worth stopping by, try a pale ale and an IPA. I wish they served burgers, or something other than just a turkey sandwich.
Twin City is an awesome experience all around! The staff are amazing and friendly! The food and beers are always great!
Top tier beer and excellent pizza
Good for pizza, not good for ciders, sours, wheat ales, heffs, sessions, or really just beer diversity... If you love an IPA, they got you covered. Grateful for the dog friendly patio
Good beer, great food, good atmosphere awesome staff!
Good beer, incredible pretzel & beer cheese, and fantastic service. They were very courteous about filling our 2 10-liter jugs during our camping trip.
The beer, food, and staff were all amazing. Wish I had a Twin City in my town. Would recommend to anyone visiting Port Alberni, its a must.
Amazing beer, food and service. Also have amazing ball caps ! Always stop in when in port Alberni.
Fantastic Pizza
Good pizza and great beer! Nice people.
What a great place! The food is fantastic! We always order extra to take home. Good beer and friendly. Definitely a must stop when in Port Alberni!
Im taking it hard because I got 3 incorrect food orders in a row and that feels bad - sample size of 1 isnt necessarily indicative, but it should probably be noted. 3 wrong food orders, 3 separate visits, 3 times in a row. Is the beer good? Yes. Is the food good? Yes. Did they make all those orders right? Yes. Am I going to go back? Probably, but not likely for food.
Good beer and food. Very interesting pizza choices.
Incredible pizza, crispy as can be. Best pizza Ive ever eaten. Service a little long because the restaurant is a victim of its success but the waitress is very friendly and smiling. I recommend
Our favorite brewery in town, with great beer, amazing staff, and yummy food. We just had a particularly excellent visit when we brought our new puppy in for some socializing on the patio. Always a 5 star experience - highly recommend!
This is a great brewery. Really like their beer (I tried 3 different beers and enjoyed them all!) and their pizza, especially the Maui Wowee, is super! The greybeard cocktail was underwhelming. Food/drinks: 4.5 /5. Servers seemed novice, but friendly and checked on us often: 4/5. Atmosphere was 5/5, loved our patio spot and it had great vibes for a Saturday night.
No sour selection and only couple ciders, lots of beer options. They ran out of pineapple, our party of 4 wanted to try the Maui waui and couldn t. The goat pizza was good, wouldn t get Margaret again
Great frosty flavourful selection
Great place for social and a yummy drink and snack. Friendly staff, great service!
Would highly recommend! Great brewery and great pizza!! Hoping the beat pesto and arugula pizza comes back on the menu for the Summer!
Simply downright delicious, looked exactly like Facebook!
Absolutely stellar experience at Twin City Brewing! From the moment we walked in, the welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel right at home. The beer selection is top-notch, with a perfect balance of creative seasonal brews and classic favorites. I was particularly blown away by their Swedish blonde ale, vibrant, and bursting with flavor. The food menu, though not extensive, pairs wonderfully with their beers. We tried the pretzels and beer cheese, which were delicious. Twin City Brewing isn t just a place to grab a drink; it s a local gem where passion for craft beer truly shines. Can t wait to come back!
Really good beer, really good food and helpful staff. The vegan and gluten free options were good and they handled an issue with the order really well. Recommended.
Food, beer - perfect
Very cool spot, great menu options and the beer is overall quite great. But I dont recommend visiting if you have any other plans that day -- the service is incredibly slow. I find the staff all very pleasant and (mostly) friendly, but without exaggeration youll be waiting 15-20 minutes for your beer to arrive at the table.... after visiting a handful of times, I truly dont understand how its possible to be this slow or what is causing it. Also, the small pizzas (which are rectangular flatbread style) are very dry and 1/3 crust, but the full sized round pizzas are great.
Great and friendly staff here! Cheap growler fills and tasty beer- love stopping here on the way to tofino :) dog friendly patio!
Great beer, pizza, atmosphere and dog friendly patio! Highly recommend
What had happened to your pizza guys! Barely any toppings, all really dry and crusty. Disappointed.
Have stopped here a few times over the last few years on the way to/from Tofino and never been disappointed! They have the best pizza!
I had an amazing experience there the other day, the food was impeccable, the smash burger without a doubt was the best burger I have ever had bravo you guys keep up the amazing work
First off, the beer was fantastic! Well made, produced with care and attention to quality. Food was delicious, and they were happy to customize the burger for my wife, to her preference! Friendly people and fun environment! Visited on
Really kind staff, think I found my new local. Cocktails are excellent (I drink more for taste) and enjoying Thai Chx Salad. Fabulous dressing. Only recommendations would be a light bed of cooked Asian noodles, peanuts or crushed cashews for texture, and an avocado add on. Regardless so well done! Really enjoying the overall vibe and music; it s not easy to go to a lot of places solo, but I was welcomed with smiles and conversation:)
Fantastic food, fantastic beer, fantastic people. Pizza, sandwiches, small bites too! Everything you would want in beer too from classic lagers to sours and everything in between. One of my favorites!
Not only Ports first brewery, its one of the best on the island. The food is amazing and the beer is second to none. The staff is the best in town. A weekly visit is a must.
Accommodated a large group with short notice. Food, drinks and service are always amazing.
Great service, beer & food. I recommend a visit if youre in the area!
Best pizza in town hands down!
Twin City Brewing is a locals hang out that nicely sums up the Port Alberni experience. Meticulously hand crafted beers that please the pallet paired with equally amazing pizza. The flavours are stupendous! Bright cheery atmosphere, very friendly, not to noisy (at least on a Tuesday evening). If your not sure what to get try a couple different ones, they are all tasty in their own right.
Delicious food! Great bevies. Good people. A Port Alberni must stop.
Amazing service, flight of beers was delicious and the food was superb. Had the pretzel, pizza and charcuterie. All delicious!
Pizza is amazing. Beer is amazing. Worth driving up island just for that.
Good beer great service
Great beer, great food, fun staff!
Great beer, great food. Awesome atmosphere
Best place to eat in Port without a doubt.
Beer was good, on the fruity side. Pizza crust had a good chew and texture. The pepperoni was very good, with thin crispy edges. Goat cheese pizza was good too. Neither oily at all. Service was great. A beer brewer explained some of the process to us.
Amazing food and beer, friendly staff, great community space
Used to love going here, but service has evaporated.
Great staff. Nice vibe. Great merch.
So happy we have this delicious and artisan brewery in Port Alberni! Beer and pizza is top notch
Love it! Everything about it. Great place to meet with friends, enjoy delectable food and a variety of delicious drinks.
Twin City is awesome. There beers and food is always amazing. The staff is so great as well. Would definitely recommend going when you are in town.
Their food is delicious, savory, and irresistibly yummy!! The beer is outstanding! The level of precision they put into their beer is just amazing. The taste is so crisp, clean, and enjoyable. The colors in the beer are so crisp! They keep you coming back!! They continue to try to level themselves up and its wonderful to see such success for a local business! When you want an experience, go to Twin City Brewing Company!! Yes, I would highly recommend trying out (and returning to) Twin City Brewing Company!!
A perfect stop off the Highway The pizza special was one of the best I have had in a long time. We had the Tickity Boo & a nice stout cant remember the name but all were great and temp out on the patio was heated.
Omg gotta try their pizza Its to die for
Food here never disappoints! The spuds and corn bread are out of this world good-wow! Service is stellar, going above and beyond. Visited on
Twin City Brewing has been a special place for me and my husband to go ever since we moved here. The ambiance is relaxed, fun, and the service is always quick, attentive, and very welcoming. The beers are always rotating with amazing new taps to discover and fall in love with. You are doing yourself a disservice if you dont go here for the pizza alone. Everything else is just a wonderful addition. Will be back again soon. :)
Lovely, nice food. I am not so much into craft beer, but even I found one I like.
Solid stop for excellent beer. The food is great too.
Ample parking, lots of excellent beer options, super friendly staff, and OMG the Maui Wowee pizza!! Droooool.
Food was excellent, so was the beer and service.
The best beer and best pizza on the Island. Always something seasonal to try. Great service everytime. Love the place!
Awesome food and excellent craft beer, with a rotating selection that makes you keep coming back to see what is new. Award winning beverages and a solid, dependable, hard-working crew of wonderful staff who make each visit memorable. I go there almost everyday and enjoy each visit.
Great beer and great food. I had a minor issue with accessibility/comfort that I emailed the owner about and he was nice enough to set aside a gift card for me. Kind owner and great customer service
Lovely staff, great little dog friendly patio, tasty beer, yummy eats. You dont need much more than that.
Great beer, great food and great service.
Wow amazing food
This brewery is excellent! My partner and I had a flight each and split their Eh Game pizza. I can t believe how good everything was! There was SO much mozzarella on the pizza, and the mango sour beer was top notch. We ll be back!
Amazing food and very good cocktails. Loved the patio
The pizzas have a great dough. The 3 types of beer we tried were very good (2 of them IPA)
unreal pizza and beers ferda boissss
Good food and beer.
Amazing beer and we had the taco pizza which was also amazing. Will be back! Ps: Jess if you read this review, thanks for buying us newly weds our first round :)
The pizzas and beer are great here, and my man and I stop in every time we drive from Vancouver to the coast. But the Bahn Voyage sandwich CHANGED our lives: literally the best sandwich I ve ever had. I ve been looking forward to having it again for months. To my utter heartbreak and disappointment today when we walked in, we were informed it had been taken off the menu. Don t know how I am going to recover from this!! Kudos and endless gratitude to the amazing Hannah, who wrote out the ingredients for the Bahn Voyage for me, and the pork rub recipe, so I can try to make it at home. Exceptional customer service! PS also bring back the Beetnik pizza!! UPDATE! Because I know yall have been wondering ... I finally found some smoked onion so I could make the aioli, and did my best to replicate the sandwich according to Hannahs instructions. It did not disappoint - sooooooo delicious, just so freakin yummy. Thank you to the staff for sharing!
Well Done on the award, totally deserved. Great place, love the Ticket-y-Boo beer. Friendly helpful staff and a good atmosphere. Wait time
Great food. Delicious beers. Awesome service!
Stopped in to sample the beers and have lunch. They have fabulous brews and a warm inviting atmosphere. Lunch was delicious and made Vegan for us. The Thai salad was amazingly good, featured soup was good and hummus was amazing as well. Highly recommend if you re looking for beers and a Vegan lunch.
Twin City Brewing is an exceptional spot for beer lovers and food enthusiasts alike. The beer selection here is nothing short of spectacular, offering a range of flavors that cater to different tastes and preferences. Each brew is crafted to perfection, making it a must-visit for anyone who appreciates good beer. What really sets this brewery apart is their pizza. Its epic, combining unique toppings with a perfect crust, creating a mouth-watering experience. Pairing their excellent beers with a slice of their pizza is an absolute delight. The service at Twin City Brewing is also commendable. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and contribute greatly to the overall positive atmosphere of the place. One thing to note is that wait times can be longer, especially if you dont time your visit correctly. Its a popular spot, so planning ahead or being prepared for a bit of a wait during peak hours is advisable. Overall, Twin City Brewing is a standout establishment for its quality beer, incredible pizza, and great service. Its a place thats well worth the visit (and possibly the wait)!
Great place to taste the local craft breeding and outstanding culinary pizza scene. Pizza was spectacular. At first when you look at the pizza , you feel it might be a disappointment but when you taste it it all goes out the window. Easily one of the best tasting pizza I have ever had!
Love TCB. Theyre awesome. Check em out!
Great service! Nice family friendly place.
Great place right off the highway.
I must confess its a place to be.Top notch Pizza.I recommend.
We visted the brewery in early April and were very impressed. We visited a a fairly cold and windy day but we wanted to be outside as it was pretty crowded inside. The staff were very helpful in setting up a heat lamp and readying one of their tents. We tried several of the beers, all were nice, the root beer one was our favourite. We thought it might be too sweet but it wasnt. We each ordered a small pizza and both were excellent. We visit quite a few fairly pricey Italian restaurants in Nanaimo and Vancouver - the pizza at Twin City would not be out of place in a fine dining Italian restaurant, it is that good.
The best place to grab a beer in Port Alberni! The seasonal sours are always on point, and the pizzas are delicious.
We make a point of driving to this fantastic spot from Nanaimo whenever we can. We havent had a bad beer here yet - they always hit all the things we look for in a really good craft beer. Fantastic food, too - the gochujang wings are off the chart!
Nice brewery Delicious beer Friendly service Delicious food
Delicious beer and pizza! Free atmosphere and friendly staff.
Love this place, the beers were amazing, so was the food. The gals serving us had a great upbeat positive energy. Throughly enjoyed our visit there and definitely would return.
Good little place. Friendly staff, good food, good beer. The blonde & hazy pale were the stars, the IPA not as much. Overall great spot and will be back.
The beer here is amazing and its a perfect spot for live comedy, we had a great time!
This is one of my all time favourite breweries! My favourite beer with a fantastic selection of food that ranges for all different dietary restrictions! Staff is absolutely wonderful with great service and a bubbly attitude! Can not recommend enough!!!
Very good beers, pizza and chicken wings. Friendly and fun place.
Fantastic
Love this place , the food is really good , especially the pizzas, amazing flavours, the beers are amazing as well , I highly recommend this place for a great night out
Great beer, lots of selection also cider on tap. Tasty snacks and pizza! Update: they are super accommodating to little ones
Great beer, really great food. I had the honey dust pizza and it was delicious.
Just had the best caprese sandwich with a side of what they call spuds Great service too!
The Tidal Hefeweizen is an absolute delight. Born in Munich, I was practically raised on Hefeweizen, and this is equal or superior to anything brewed in Bavaria today. Kudos guys for making a top notch product. I will enjoy this as long as you brew it.
Both food and services are second to none. Also like the ambience and the unique water pitcher. We walked in for dinner one night and ordered two large pies, the GOAT and the Rapscallion. They were DELICIOUS. The taste and quality outshined gourmet pizzas we have at home. We like the place and food so much, we stopped by for an afternoon snack a few days later on the way passing by Port Alberni. This time we had a large pie of Inner Circle. Again, taste and service were second to none.
Best beer and food in town, lovely staff. The smoked red lager is particularly delicious! Tourists (like us) really should spend more time in Port Alberni, our days here have been delightful!
Great customer service and delicious pizza!
A great bang for your buck for a flight of tasty beers. They also serve pizza which looked delicious as well.
It s really nice to have a meal that doesn t cost a fortune but still gives you the food as art experience. The Adoring Carnivore pizza found the perfect balance of meatness without excess, leveraging a robust pepperoni. The Bulgogi Brisket lettuce wraps brought forward a combination of flavours and textures that, after all these years and all these meals, I had not yet experienced. What a treat! And the beers? All have the small business owner uniqueness to them that no mass producer of ale has yet been able to capture. Twin City is a gem. Try it!
Stopped in Port Alberni for the night and decided to try out Twin City Brewing Company for dinner. We had their porter and their grapefruit radler to drink and we had the Bulggoi brisket sandwich and their Chicken and peanut sauce salad for supper. Everything was delicious and the staff were super friendly
I would pick zero stars. We had an extremely terrible first experience here today. It was 30 degrees celsius outside. We were a group of nine guests and there was a table inside that required one extra chair. The lady managing the bar said she would not serve a table that required an extra seat. So we tried to order a drink and find a different spot. She said only table service. We bought the drinks the people seated at the bigger table outside already had to be able to switch them for our table inside. We waited outside for a waitress for our table service. We went in twice to see if a waitress was coming. After 30 minutes we still didnt have any order taken. This was extremely embarrassing since I had recommended trying this spot to our party of guests. We will not be coming back here, we will not be drinking twin city beer at any establishment and will be passing along our unsavoury experience.
Great food and great beer along with attentive service. We would highly recommend it and would come back immediately!
The beer was outstanding yet still the worst part about coming here. That food was amazing holy crud.
Friendly staff, nice location and most importantly a great selection of drinks!
I sent this as a private message to comment about our lunch experience last week and received no response. I had family visiting from Nashville and was excited to show off a local spot. There were five of us, we sat on the patio. I really like that there is table service now. My son and his friend ordered a large pizza to share, my cousin and her husband ordered a large pizza to share, my husband ordered chicken wings and I ordered a personal Maui Wowie pizza. After enjoying our drinks, everyone s food arrived, except mine. Everyone at the table was eating for about 5-7 minutes while I had nothing. My husband finally got up and asked our server where my meal was. She came out a few minutes later and said that the kitchen had forgotten to make it. Not sure why she didn t realize that one of her table s orders was missing. I told her to forget it as the others were more than halfway through their meals. My lunch was one chicken wing and a slice of my cousin s pizza. Thankfully the portions are generous so they were able to share before a long hike. My item was taken off the bill but there was zero apology, neither from our server nor the manager. I still left a tip but was not impressed with the lack of apology for the mistake.
Always tasty and everyone is super friendly. Was super happy to see you guys at the Cowichan Beer and Food Festival this year! Can t wait to see and try all the new creations that you guys keep pumping out!
Great good and service
Wanted to like this place but none of the beers we tried (5 between the two of us) were tasty. The stout had a strong syrupy cola taste to it. My beatnik pizza was super greasy, which was surprising for a beet pizza! They do have a fun board games selection though
Awesome food, great beer and friendly staff.
Beer is good (not great), and pizza was very good. Would come again.
Enjoyed a great flight of beers and had the BEST pepperoni pizza we have every had!
Delicious food. Great vibe.
Tasty, friendly and fast - and the beer: excellent! What more could you want?
Service is friendly, beer is top notch and my dinner was tasty.
This place is a gem in Port Alberni. We have been there many times, and always the food is excellent, the beer (and other drinks) are excellent. The service is outstanding, always friendly, professional, knowledgeable. And we love that we can book a table online ahead of time.
Great brew....great eats.
This is a review about the service, 2 stars because the way you re treated is a big part of the overall experience. The lady that was helping us was very apathetic, disengaged, and didn t make any effort to check in with us in regards to our food and beverage. With all fairness, the manager Jessica is extremely attentive and she saved our visit at the Brewery. 5 stars for their beers
Love all their beers and the pizza is fantastic. I like how they always come up with clever names for the pizzas. Their limited edition beers are always interesting as well. Great brewery overall.
The beer was fantastic, and wurst pizza was the best!
This place absolutely blindsided me. Their craft beer and food are spectacular. If youre passing through town or if you live here do not pass this place over. The control freak IPA was very well balanced and very clean. The two pizzas we had were perfect and the brisket sandwich should be a national treasure.
This brewery is always amazing .. great beers and great service.. always recommend to everyone
Fantastic beer!
Went for the beer, will return for the food! We ordered a pepperoni pizza and chicken lettuce wraps and devoured it! We tried all of the beers on tap which was a fun tasting and decided on a few favourites. Cant wait to return when its a little warmer and sitting outside isnt quite as chilly (the overhead heating on the patio didnt seem to help us stay warm, bring a blanket!!)
Great beer, great food and awesome staff! We love coming here!!!
Awesome customer service, great food. If you like Hawaiian pizza then the Maui Wowie is for you.
Great food & beer. The lettuce wraps were outstanding...once I figured out how to eat them.
One of the best experiences I have ever had at a restaurant! An issue arised and they did everything they could to make it right!!! Highly recommended this place to visit for a quick drink! Amazing craft beer!
They have a great selection of beers to choose from, and you cant go wrong with a beer flight. They also allow dogs when sitting outside which is a bonus. The staff have been great the two times I have been here and the food hits the spot.
Epic service! They made sure we made it on our hike with time to spare! Thank you!
Nice place. Good beer and good food. Kind waitress. And some games to play too ;)
Cute chill place. Didn t eat here but the beers were tasty. Lots to choose from and offer flights.
Friendly service, great food and beer! Dog friendly patio :) so nice to see a small Business like this in port alberni!
I was disappointed within place. The online menu is not the same as the restaurant. I was not interested in their limited menu. Left without eating or drinking
Many moons ago, my wife and I stumbled upon this place, and were both big craft beer fanatics and pizza fanatics. We tried several of their brews including a really nice Brut IPA brewed with Hallertau hops that made it taste like it a white wine. We had a kim chee / date pizza that turned out amazing -- till this day, I use kim chee on my own pizzas. All in all, this is a place to check out if youre in town.
The ladies working provided outstanding service and made my friends and my lunch visit a fantastic experience. This is a lovely place for a quick beer and lunch before heading from Tofino to the Nanaimo ferry terminal.
Great beer, food and service. Took my 83yr young Mom for the first time. She said the Maui Wowi Pizza was the best she has ever had! Now thats a review! Cheers!
Everything was fantastic, including our server! Had two beer flights, ordered the Gochujang Crispy Wings (as per our servers recommendation, which were amazing!) and pizza, which was half Gnarly Garlies , half Beaver Greeker . If you haven t been here this place is a must try!
Awesome service, super friendly happy workers, great food and drinks options loved the lettuce wraps!!!!! Definitely a quality place!!!
Never had a hostess make it more apparent that we werent welcome somewhere. Two of us showed up at 8:30 for a quick drink before close and they all but told us to get lost.
The saving grace and Oasis of Port Alberni. Immediately drawn to their location as am abundance of pride flags were flying outdoors and inside everyone looked happy! Beer selection was exceptional with plenty of selection from in house taps and from around the island. The pretzel with hummus is still in my mind to this day. Twin cities amazed me and Im only remorseful I didnt snag any merch.
Good chicken wings and pizza
Super friendly, good COVID safety, delicious pizzas and nice recommendations. I especially enjoyed the Tickity Boo - really delicious. Thanks for being so welcoming!
some of the best pizza on the island. super friendly staff. dog friendly patio. amazing beer! I love this place.
Great beer and food, good location and lovely service! Daniel was our server and was excellent... Answered all our annoying questions with a smile. Thanks Daniel!
Great vibes, great beer, and amazing food. Damn Daniel you were a fantastic server.
Great beer and food!! Our server Daniel was awesome! Filled us in on some great city history.
We had a excellent meal and beer at Twin City Brewing. As a omnivore with a vegan wife it was great to find place on our road trip we both liked. The kitchen was accommodating and made a great pizza with a beet walnut pesto for my wife and hot wings for me.
Had a delicious pizza and sour. The food was really good as was the beer and the atmosphere is friendly and warm.
Dry pizza
Great food, great beer, great atmosphere!
Best craft brewery on the island. Staff are great. Food is great.
Twin City is a great stop for great grub and beer. Their pizza dough is chewy but crispy throughout, and perfectly seasoned. The gochujang wings had a nice kick to it, a pleasant twist on buffalo wings. Their beer pair well with the food, so come hungry and enjoy the heated patio.
Had a nice lunch here on the way to Ucluelet. Pizza was tasty. Crust was chewy and fresh. I enjoyed one of their nonalcoholic beverages that was quite nice. Our group enjoyed themselves and the friendly staff. Bonus, they have mix and match tall cans to go!
What a nice place to have have a pint and chat with friends. We had two nice waiter who took care of us. They were friendly and courteous. Their beers are good and so is the food. A nice place to stop by when you just need to relax and feel good in an unpretentious place.
Great service, food and beverage, highly recommend checking this place out! Feel the bern
Great service great food except I forgot my gnarly gar Lee to go
Great beer and had a wonderful tasting pizza as well.
Excellent service,good atmosphere, great food. Not my favorite selection of beer right now but enjoy the changing selection.
This is a mandatory stop for everyone heading to or from Tofino. The beer is good and the pizza is divine. If I lived nearby, I would be there daily!
Good beers, tasty snacks, friendly staff, nice atmosphere.
Our favourite place in town. Always welcoming and the food is always amazing. We love the weekly specials as they are always unique and amazing.
Great Beer, great pizza, great atmosphere and facility, great staff. Loved this place! It is what brought me to Port Alberni from where I was camping this summer.
Good beer. Recommend the raspberry beer.
Great beer, food and service.
Visited on the recommendation of Dave at Love Shack Libations. So glad we did. Service and food were great. The beer.... amazing. Tasty, super clean. Liked every one we tried.
This is a review of their food as I dont drink beer. Their main fair is pizza with a bit of pub fare thrown in, such as soft pretzels, hot dogs, and chartreuse board. We had the chartreuse board which had two pieces of toasted focaccia bread, olives, candy almonds, summer sausage, dipping sauces, pickles ,and a cream cheese bread. It was pretty good but needed more meat and bread. We also tried four different pizzas. I found the pepperoni to have way too much cheese, the beat pizza needed some balsamic added, the jerk chicken was pretty good, and the garlic pizza lacked any garlic flavour at all and the cheese they used just solidified and got hard right away. I honestly found most of their food lacking in flavour and it left a heavy feeling in the stomach. On the plus side they use compostable take away containers.
Great beer!
Was able to have my dog on the patio, enjoy a flight and some lettuce wraps. Definitely recommend stopping by if in the area!
Awesome service, great food and beer ! Please stay open later on Friday and Saturday nights
Will definitely want to come back for more of that pizza and the beers were great. Good luck with the tent situation as it gets towards winter, Ill brave a storm for a slice honestly.
Had a good flight of beer, all of which, I enjoyed. Several employees checked in with us while we were there which made it seem like everyone was really invested in the quality of food and service.
We were passing through Port Alberni to make our way to Tofino, and decided to stop here for a quick snack and drinks before heading back on the road (responsibly, of course.) Okay, if youre going to get anything here, make sure its the pretzel. The pretzels changed my life. Im not the same person I was before I walked in there because of that pretzel with beer cheese. W O W. We sat on the patio, but ventured inside to get a growler for later. The vibe is great indoors, as well as outside, and the team was unbelievably friendly during our quick visit. I cant say enough great things please check out this spot if youre in town.
Even my friends who don t like beer have come to join me and have fallen in love w both the drink options and THE FOOD. Best spot to go have a couple pints and have great eats. My friends who don t like beer have tasted some of my flights and ended up getting a flight of their own. I m guessing they ve only had domesticated beer before and would usually finish their flight hehe. Love their options. They have multiple ciders as well & philips craft sodas if you don t drink alcohol. Love the pizzas, lettuce wraps, pretzels and hummus w house bread. My mom has been sober for 15 years and still takes my dad there for lunch because she looooves the peanut sauce on the lettuce wraps. Try it at least once! You won t be disappointed. Great service. Dine in, take out, delivery!!
I found this pub completely by accident, and fell in love with it immediately. Twin City is a fairly new brew pub in Port Alberni and its lovely in every way from the locally made beers (theres about a dozen different kinds!) to the scrumptious food (I strongly recommend the warm pretzel and the charcuterie board). The staff is friendly and helpful and the restaurant stafg follow proper pandemic precautions and wear appropriate PPE. Come to Twin City for a date, a drink with a friend, or even a family meal. Theres something for everyone here and I highly recommend Twin City to everyone.
Great beer! We had a the porter and the red while at the brewery, and a couple other kinds at local restaurants. All the beers were flavourful. The brewery spot has nice decor and a good vibe. The outdoor heated tents were a great addition for more capacity during winter and covid times. Staff were friendly and helpful. The pretzel was warm, crispy on the outside, chewy inside, and very tasty.
