The Bennett Craft & Kitchen in Port Coquitlam

Really fun place to go.

A perfect night to rock the night away.

Great place to listen to music, party, and enjoy authentic food. Owner and staff are amazing, highly recommend visiting this place. Highly recommend

We went mid week, it was quiet, the Greek food there is great, and they have a $5 beer special daily.

Live music, say no more.

Would have given a 5 star, but they closed their kitchen early and I was unable to grab a meal.

The band was fantastic.

They did not have enough wait staff on to manage the number of people in the section, the burgers were not made with quality ingredients, and the fries were cold by the time they got to our table. A disappointing experience.

Friendly Feel Good Atmosphere..Live bands all the time ..Amazing Bartenders,Servers and Food....

Always have a great time here!

One of the few remaining live music venues in the Tricities

Went for live music and dancing. Good group of people having a fun time. Attentive, friendly staff.

OK price for beer, but not great. Friendly staff.

Love this place all the buddies hang out here and play cards. And pool. All bartenders treated well.

Never felt out of place

Fantastic jam entertainment Sundays.

Hit or miss place. First time we went service was good, beer was cold and the fries we ordered we really tasty. Second visit service was lacking and the nachos we ordered were Horrible! The chips were stale and cheese only partially melted. We stopped eating after 4 chips and 20 minutes later when the bartender finally came back to follow up we explained the situation and there was no offer to replace or fix the order. He did not even remove the nachos from the bill as he specifically mentioned multiple times that the best he could do was 50% off. Many better places in the area that offer better value for money.

I booked a table for 2 here. Was escorted to a table with 1 open seat. Waited over an hour for service. Spoke to a bartender in an attempt to get service she said they only serve tables. Found this strange as the sign above me said self serve here people were also being served standing up. Asked the waiter he said he would come back, other tables feeling sorry for us also asked the waiter as they had been seated after us. After an hour we realized we would not be served and took transit all the way back to Vancouver. Waist of time go anywhere else.

Nice bar, amazing bathrooms. Would recommend.

Clean place, nice patrons, good prices. Food was ok, good for pub food. Quite good selection of F&B.

I went for a Sunday jam and it was so much fun! Fantastic musicians and the acoustics in this place are amazing. I looked at the menu but there isnt really anything for vegans, however speaking with the owner he tells me that they will be changing up their menu in a couple of weeks and there will be an option or two. Its not much but its a start!

Great greek food. Great service. Decor is strange.

Food was great, as was the service. And the audience was outstanding! Great stage to play for sure! 5 stars from me, and the rest of Wicked World!

We went on January 25th for a stand up comedy show A Fringe-Tastic show. We had a good time, the show was excellent, friendly personnel, our waitress was very attentive with us. I shared with my husband a plate of poutine, we came more for the show and to meet our friends, my husband ordered beer, the price was fair. Leo, the owner seems to be a nice guy. We will come again with another occasion.

Awesome food drink and entertainment in tje neighborhood. The best greek food. 5 dollar drink specials. Here for a hip hop show. Was Awesome... many other live music events up coming. Will be there. Great service from friendly staff. Food

Conrad was a great bartender. Great respect for his customers and great personality. Drinks poured to perfection,

Had to put a phone in rice after a night....thanks for dumping drinks server..... Overpriced, under staffed and I will happily take my money somewhere else. Food

Really enjoyed my night here. Really cool place, amazing service, lovely beer and bonus got to enjoy a great night of comedy

Went for a Billy Joel tribute entertainer. The atmosphere is good, unfortunately the layout doesn t permit much room downstairs to dance or socialize - very crowded tables. Despite the low priced menu, the food was served cold. Fish and chips/calamari cooked in old oil and dips tasted rancid. Our server tried but felt like they did not prepare well for a a large crowd. The mgr likes the microphone and to smash plates with guests on their birthday. Kind of an interesting choice to have flying debris in a busy bar Seems to have regular customers but as a first timer it was disappointing.

Had a blast. Drinks were good. Playing pool was fun. Food was not hot.

The Bennett Poco has live bands, incredible food, killer staff and customers. I have never walked in or out of that place without a good laugh or a beer. Huge selection of on tap beers and also, the artwork is so interesting to look at. Being an artistic person myself I really appreciate that atmosphere. I like the big screens and the pool table and also how they have multiple sporting events playing for each customer. Also, the owner has been so welcoming through the transition from the Burke Mountain Beerhouse. Cant say enough good things about this Neighborhood Bar in Port Coquitlam. Please try the Butter Chicken! Its homemade. I will miss coming here for sure. All the Best, Melina

Great service, wings were good. Upgrading my review from 3 to 4

The Jam nights on Tuesday are a blast

First time visit and enjoyed music and food.

Awesome fun.

Awesome place and great for big groups. Booking the upstairs was super easy and Leo was very accommodating. Our servers were very attentive and everyone had a great time. Will go back again.

While visiting Vancouver my friends and I were looking for some late night food/drinks and came to this bar at around 1230am on Saturday June 10th. I was told the kitchen was closed and it was last call (they were closing early) yet me and my friends were not disappointed. The bartender (Richard) was a great guy from the east coast as well! He made our experience amazing! He is so upbeat and kind, even though he was busy cleaning up to close it didn t stop him from providing us GREAT customer service and general conversations. He had great recommendations to what to do while we re visiting this beautiful city. There was another staff member that was there unfortunately didn t get his name but he was awesome as well! Thank you guys so much for making this short but sweet visit to your establishment one to remember! We will be coming back for the full experience at this place on Monday to watch the game before we fly out! This place is highly recommended for their overall atmosphere, vibe and high energy!!!!

Sunday June 11 2023. 1am. This place went above and beyond. The bartender Richard was so nice and welcoming. He made me a drink that was beyond perfect. It went down smooth, really tasted great. They didn t have food when we all had went but definitely will be back Monday. Just to try what the food is like. The atmosphere was a great and the people were friendly and talkative. It was a local spot me and my friends ending up finding. I m visiting from Toronto. Nice find.

I didnt have food so I cant rate that but everything else was great. I love going here.

Drinks were priced well and the venue itself is good. Unfortunately that night had a cover band that should have done a proper sound check as the vocals were really loud. Not on the venue more on the entertainment

Interesting choice for the manager to leave passive aggressive sounding comments on poor or mid to low reviews. As someone looking at the reviews to see if this is the place I want to spend my money the comments from the owner has turned me right off from coming here. Which is really too bad. A few low or 1 star reviews happen and it really wouldnt affect my decision normally. But what did effect my decision was the poor replies left by the establishment. It reads as passive aggressive or sarcastically saying sorry... but. My advice would be to thank the high reviews and to the low reviews say nothing or say call this number to talk to someone and fix their concerns ect.

Nice looking pub with an upstairs for additional seating. The customer service and food weren t anything special. Some typical pub food but most of the menu is Greek. They have fans but no AC so the place got very warm very quickly They put on comedy shows and other events so I ll be back for one of those but I wouldn t say the food or staff alone would bring me back again

This place may be small, but it exudes an intimate atmosphere with its friendly staff and excellent service. Parking: Residential/business plaza Wheelchair accessibility: No ramps or stairs to contend with

Fun place and they have stand-up comedy!

We held our 35th Terry Fox Highschool Reunion at the Bennett and it was fantastic! Leo reserved the whole upstairs for our event and was so accommodating. Great atmosphere and the staff and service were wonderful which helped make it a great event. Thank you!

Great venue for a rock show !

I had the most wonderful Experience at The Metallica Cover band Fantastic Service Vip Seating. Looking forward to visiting again some day. Thank You staff of The Bennett.

Fun night to be had. Chicken Gyro is good but Greek salad very bland. Needs flavour!

Just had our small work Christmas party here, we couldn t have asked for better service or food! Thank you so much taking care of us so efficiently and promptly. I didn t realize there was live music on Thursday nights, unfortunately it made it a little loud for conversation but all good anyway. Thanks again from Hersheys!

Jakes making hot dogs Hallelujah

Super fun place! Cheap drinks, nice bartender (shout out to conrod!) And awesome cover band playing tom petty tunes. Had fun dancing. It was a friday night. Someone stole my wilfred sweater tho so that was a bummer ending to a great night.

Arrived for the dinner hour and we were able to take advantage of happy hour. Service was great, food was hot and tasty. Will return.

You have too experience the great atmosphere of the friendly staff, the best mix of music and great food! Love it!

This place is a fabulous place to go any day of the week with great food and amazing customer service.

Cheap food and drinks, you get what you pay for. Decor is interesting this time around. Worth a visit if you re from Port Coquitlam.

Horrible service.. waited 20 min for a waitress to serve us drinks. Waited almost 30-40 just for 4 pm of pita bread and Taziki. Location is hard to find as their sign is not lit up overall boring as hell

Do not go here for their burger or calamari; if the rest of the menu items are at the same standards dont order anything. This experience was not good. I read reviews before I purchased but thought I would still give it a try, to support my community. the food quality is poor, people have to be made aware. I write this review in the hopes of you improving; not to cut you down.

Staff great. Pork bites yum yum. 3 dollar happy hour

2 tier bar with friendly staff and a unique experience in port coquitlam. Best bar in town hands down

Not bad for pub

Excellent prices on beer

Amazing vibe, really cool art !!!!!

Awesome atmosphere to watch sports or live entertainment. Highly recommend!

My favorite pub in Poco!

Parking: Good parking place.

Great pub great daily drink specials and great staff. The gyros are very delish. But I did notice flies were a nuscence inside pub and hope the owner deals with that issue.

Was better as the Burke dont bother eating just drink they dont take any pride what so ever in the food

Fun atmosphere, good food prices and great music. This is a sports bar but they regularly have events on different nights to mix things up and provide more types of entertainment for all such as the Sundays Blues Jam. Check out their website for the schedule of these events. Enjoyed our afternoon there!

Food was good, and staff were nice, but the music was way too loud, and ruined the atmosphere! Couldnt hear the person sitting right beside me.

The gyros was good, and the vibes were there, a great upstairs area and pool table, but the live music was so loud our waitress couldnt hear us and we couldnt talk to eachother. All of us were pretty uncomfortable and irritated by how loud it was and it was playing the whole hour we were there. We ended up just eating and leaving as fast as possible since there was no way to enjoy the atmosphere or company with such loud music.

Great band, fantastic food! Worth the drive from Richmond!

Five stars to Kaitlynn for the service, she took care of about 14 of us, we sat on the patio which is perfect for a large group. All the staff were really friendly. The menu choices seemed a little odd. Like their nachos have hummus and cucumbers on them. The appie platter is wings, meatballs and fries all thrown on one plate. Still a great place for drinks and I would go back.

Great Happy Hour prices

I came here with a girlfriend on a Friday night. There was a great live band paying tribute to one of my favorite bands, The Police. Great selection of wine and beers. Has a good pub menu which is reasonably priced. This is a great place to host a party or to casually hang out with some friends. Make sure to drop in at this cozy neighbourhood pub with everchanging live entertainment.

Dont advertise take out if you dont provide the service.

Great to have pool table besides cat n fiddle

Awesome

Easily the best burgers in Poco! EDIT Oct 2022 The menu has changed. I havent had a chance to try their new food but the burgers I loved arent on the menu anymore.

Very Niche place. Beer great price One NT. Not the next night.

Great place to listen to musicians jam on Sunday afternoon

I booked the upstairs for my boyfriends surprise bday party and it was SO FUN!!! Leo was amazing and made the planning so easy, and his staff were so attentive and fun. They even let us come in a bit early to put up some decorations. It was such a fun setting for our group. The arcade games and pool table were a massive bonus! The food was so tasty (especially the pork bites!!!). Highly recommend if you are looking for a cool place for a bday celebration, office party, retirement party etc!

Ordered a poutine , no cheese curds was CHEDDAR cheese just thrown on and it was burnt of all things , the fries were burnt as well lol

The Bennett hosted our group Christmas Party of 50 guest this past Saturday. Everything went flawlessly, the food was fantastic, servers were right on top of everything. Having our own section (upstairs) with a private bar, games and servers made everything so easy. Highly recommend!

Got my beer

The food is terrible. They really need traditional pub food!!

I ve never felt so ignored in my life! Thanks to the staff, I know where not to return!

Awesome games room there upstairs! Pool arcades and more!

Would recommend if you wanted to just go for some drinks. Food was extremely disappointing. The wings are underwhelming both in size and portion. The pasta could definitely be made at home the same, and the burger is just meh (its $10 what can you really expect though).

Old ownership: Delicious meal. Had a wrap with salad and husband had spaghetti. Fairly loud inside but outdoor patio was nice and quiet. 2021 review....went in for dessert and a glass of wine. Menu was mostly Greek food had to ask what desserts were, waitress didnt know....when she came back and told us, I asked if there were nuts in either dessert. Her response was Ill check the box. It was a terribly stale Costco style slice of something. Two glasses of mediocre wine (1 glass per person...didnt realize that had to be spelled out PR people of The Bennett) and a terrible dessert. Loud and unpleasant.

Try the lamb chops

Much love for this place. Very welcoming and the food was amazing

Lamb chops are great and they serve Sapporo..

Giving this place 3 stars because the food/drinks were good, but the service was terrible. Walked in and was standing near the front to be seated (as per COVID protocols) and it took a good 15 minutes (!) for someone to actually notice me. FYI - the waitress with the blue/pink hair clearly saw me and didnt care to approach me. Not sure what her deal was - if you see a customer walk in, please service them! Dont just stand there and pretend like you didnt see. This same waitress was also drinking from the bar and casually hanging with her friends throughout her shift - totally unprofessional. Once we were seated by a different waitress, it took a while to get a menu and the waitress had no idea what the specials were. We also noticed that the menu was mostly greek... which is fine - there was still a lot of pub food. The ambience was nice too, but yeah the service needs to improve.

Its beautiful and fun always a good deal

Food was good. Server friendly.

The decor was nice and the owner played requests on his music system.

Excellent as usual

Good ambient and lamb

Amazing hospitality, awesome live music and delicious food, I had an amazing evening here. You get to see some snakes too!

Great selection of drinks, attentive bar service, evolving into a diverse entertainment venue with live music, karaoke & a future planned trivia night. Prices reasonable.

Great place for karaoke Nice atmosphere

Warm!

Great service and good food

Great staff and experience

What happened!? Last time we went was a week before lockdown. We have been waiting to go back as this was our fave local watering hole. Great food. Great vibe. Fast forward to tonight, it s the place dreams and elderly alcoholics go to die. The food was AWWWFFFUUULL. Poutine came. Fries with no salt, a teaspoon of shredded marble cheese, and oh, oh there is the gravy UNDER the fries. Nothing like making you work for it lol. So gross. Terrible fries. The lamb chop appy was charred (not in a good way). The chicken burger was a No Name brand frozen chicken patty special with gel-like mayo, a translucent slice of something that was probably supposed to be cheese, and limp, nasty I want to say lettuce? And again, the worst restaurant fries. Even the iced tea tastes bad. I don t know what happened. The waitress denied it had changed ownership but the more we looked around, the menu wasn t the only thing that was totally different. Don t do it! Save your money! This place will be closed in a couple months for sure. Sad that covid probably caused the demise of the previous, awesome version. We left as soon as we could get an uber. If I am gonna have a night out after 18 months, I m gonna enjoy it. Cue Cat & The Fiddle! SMH

Yes, eat & drink here. Friendly staff and good food complimented by a diverse group of locally produced ale, beer and ciders. Lots of activities running.

Great energy they had a concert going on and it was amazing!

Checked up on the reviews to see if anything had changed since our last visit to consider coming back, but after seeing how many sarcastic and defensive the responses back from the owner there is I thought I would post our experience as well from our last visit last August as although its an older review it doesnt make it invalid: My boyfriend and I used to go here pretty often before the pandemic started, and it was one of our favourite pubs for date night. It was always lively and lots of choices for great appetizers and a unique pub food menu with good drinks. We went back for the first time since I believe March, and brought our friend so he could experience our favourite pub, and it was very vacant and the food has changed to basically all greek. I like greek food quite a lot, but that is not what we went there for so we were caught off guard. Our waitress advised us there had been a change in ownership. The nachos were very plain and dry with only a bit of cheese, red peppers, and cucumbers (Very odd toppings for nachos in our opinions) and no sauce to dip them in. I ordered the spaghetti and it was very dry as well so I only ate the meatballs, and the pita was pretty dry and crunchy rather than soft. The prices are decent, but we did not enjoy our meals so unfortunately we wont be going back. A tip to the owners, if you cannot take constructive criticism this will ensure people to never return. In response to what you said back to Zias review, no it was not appropriate for her to say its a place of elder alcoholics , but the fact that you stated other patrons did not think her review was appropriate makes it clear youre discussing reviews with customers. Many of your responses to reviews come off unprofessional from a business page. At this time I cannot speak to if the quality of food has changed. Hopefully we can come in and try again sometime to update our current star rating.

Good service

Best saganaki ever! Best live music and entertainment! The staff Is friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a fun evening!

Hudson loves cookies

I had the most amazing lamb shank dinner, washed back with the Fat Tug special. Definitely recommend to others looking for a quality well priced meal.

Bartenders a piece of work, doesnt want to take to take orders to go, I took my business elsewhere, enjoy the tips from your 2 customers

The open mic is a wonderful time and I am quite excited to go back!

So nice . When you be there really to enjoy

The Lamb was amazing

Service was good

High quality of service, delicious meal, and nice location. Perfect location for families with babies on Sundays night.

Another name but still good food

Reasonably priced drink and food. Service is always good. They have a pretty awesome private event space upstairs, if you have a party or event I would 100% suggest this place!

Wednesday night burgers and karaoke was one of the best family outings Ive had. Definitely recommend.

Service was limited, food was a very long wait and poor quality. Music was very dated. This place was probably decent 10 years ago. Now it is old news. Save your money.

Very impressive pub with an additional second level. Good for hosting events and for good appetizer specials. I was there for a political event on a Monday so I can only judge from what I saw. Nevertheless a good pub. Its in a location thats hard to find, though.

They used to have a really good Beyond burger, I even took my friends there and they loved it! I went there again couple of weeks back and was surprised to see that it was not on the menu anymore. I asked for other plant-based alternative for a meal - I was offered fried with ketchup or salad minus the dressing. Safe to say, we did not stay for dinner and I will not go back nor will I take any of my friend there anymore. I am just so suprised, with every restaurant having multiple plant based options tehse days.. I just never seen a place removing all options for vegans. Not cool.

Sports

Food is very good staff is great.

Tried them tonight ( Valentine s Day of all days ) by far the best skip the dishes we ve had !!! Will totally come and check it out in person

Service is good, atmosphere is great and they have games and a pool table on the upper floor. Food is okay though. The winds I ordered were a bit dry and the potatoes skins where a bit soggy.

I have been to this place several times, every single time I have received an excellent service, staff here is very accurate to take my special drink request and they are very accurate every single time to deliver exactly what I order how I order it. Food is very tasty and great quantity. There is plenty of space to accommodate small groups and large groups. Never been seated at second floor, but I have seen it and it looks great for an event with friends, birthday party or office event, you name it. You will find the regular customers here and some lost new customers that I think will find a very descent place to have a beer, watch a sports event and have a bite for a very good price. Prices are very affordable and specials are always a good option. My only constructive comment (not properly a complaint) is that sadly, this place is not open earlier, they open at 3 pm. Other than that, if you are in the area thirsty, looking for a good craft beer option, please visit The Bennett Craft & Kitchen as you will be able to find at least one option from all the craft breweries around here

Great food, great service, great entertainment! Ambiance is warm and so is the staff.

Great little spot and great food.

One of best delicious food l ever had! friendly staff! Come back again for sure!

Great service and atmosphere!

Great pub but new owners switched the menu to all Greek. Food is ok but it is a Pub and there should be a pub menu with some good options to keep people coming back.

Loved this place and went back a couple of days ago looking forward to the Bennetts yummy pub eats only to discover its changed to...a Greek restaurant? Was very disappointed..I wont be back

Great spot. The interior is a stylish rustic/modern take. In a post covid society they have done due diligence to make it a safe and welcome space. Solid selection of drinks, food is well made and satisfying. If youre out in PoCo, its a spot to hit, no question.

Its Greek Food now! Good food.

Awesome people, awesome service, great greek menu. Lisa, Taylor and Leo rock!

Great place, good prices on good

So this pub is under new management as of about the time Covid-19 started up. They are now open for business which is more than I can say for some of the neighbouring pubs which may have gone under, not sure but there are still many closed. I say all this as a lead-in to why I gave this pub 4 stars. Suffice to say that they are still ironing out some of the kinks but are doing their best to make it all work under the conditions, and really, cudos to them for the fight to survive. I had a roast lamb (maybe shoulder)with all the fixings which was well priced at the regular $17. Lots of choices for drinks and specials as well.

This pub used to be good until new management came along. The Greek menu is the most confusing thing about this place, as the atmosphere isnt Greek at all and the food quality itself is laughable and flavourless. The menu price points are either $10 or $17, nothing in between, which is also off putting considering the quality doesnt raise between the two. The menus themselves look low budget. I think the owner needs to learn more about what kind of demographic comes to a pub like this. Open a Greek restaurant elsewhere. Please close soon. In reply to the owner, who didnt comprehend my review fully: I KNOW its a pub and sports bar, thats what people want. The Greek food is the thing thats off putting. Theres nothing wrong with the drinks, or the music (although the DJ that night had no idea how to transition between songs properly and it was cringey). I had the pita burger, one of us had to have your flatbread pizza because it was the only vegetarian option on the menu. The other had had the regular burger. All of which had little flavour. The regular burger was small and looked like a mcdouble from the value menu at McDonalds, but somehow less appetizing. The pita burger seemed like a good idea but lacks any kind of flavour. ADD SALT, put some dressing on the veggies, put more tzatziki. And for Pete sakes change the fries. They dont need feta they need salt. My best advice is to cut the Greek menu and introduce a regular pub menu with food people actually want. Maybe keep 2-3 of your best Greek dishes if you must, but the menu is lacklustre and confusing. Take a look at the previous owners menu for tips. A bowl of rice is not a pub appetizer. And as for the menu... Cmon, half the items dont even have a full description of whats on it. It says veggies by every item, which could mean anything. A quick field trip to any other pub or restaurant will give you a good idea on how to present your items in a way thats professional. Maybe I was too harsh to start, but I honestly feel like this place will be under new management very shortly.

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and very reasonably priced.

Food was kinda bland and the decor was a bit all over the place. A bit pricey for what I got. Just kinda meh and servers seemed bored and like it was the last place they wanted to be.

Cheap beer. Foods greek now. Be prepared if you read online menu

The best family place

Very poor service took another guest in pub to tell me it was closed bartender outside fpr a smoke? Heath very poor service ypu know better

Very small place

Fantastic staff! Great beers on tap. Love the Patina Beer :)
