724 Nelson St, Vancouver, BC V6Z 1A8, Canada
Bras & a wall of speakers decorate this lively tavern with rustic flair & a set-price pub grub menu.
Unfortunately, our experience at The Moose was disappointing. The atmosphere was unpleasant, with the room smelling strongly of fried food. Our server failed to mention that the bill already included a tip and even obscured the bill with his hand, leading us to double tip despite only ordering beers and shared nachos. It felt misleading and left a sour taste. Would not recommend based on our experience.
We were new to Vancouver, first time visitors. Stumbled into this little gem and had our minds blown. It’s a sanctuary for deadbeats, losers, thrill seekers and rockers. All in. KAREN is the best!! It’s brazenly unrefined and shamelessly authentic. I f’n LOVE it there. You will too. Trust me.
A sweet little bar with a great atmosphere. The food is a good bar food. Their putine is yummy and the wings awe. In combination with a nice variety of music
One of the coolest bars I've ever been to. Great food, great service, super reasonable prices, all wrapped in a rock-n-roll-y, dive-bar-y atmosphere. Jukebox full of all your rock/hard rock/metal faves. If you're looking for fun, not fancy, this is your place.
A cool little bar, popped in for a quick drink on our way home and was pleasantly surprised. Had a great wheat ale and the hanging bra’s provided a quirky twist!!
What an awesome bar! This place has great music, a fantastic atmosphere, but most of all amazing staff who are really friendly and look after customers very well. If I lived in Vancouver I would visit as often as I could. I don't know if I will ever return to Vancouver but if I do, I know exactly where I will be going for my first drink!
Epic dive bar, and the whole atmosphere is pretty surreal. Couldn't find a better punk/metal oriented bar if ou tried. Top notch for sure. Great prices and friendly staff too
This bar has cool rock and metal oriented decorations and music and a laid back vibe. Don’t expect anything fancy, the space is quite small and the food options are limited. The good thing is prices are reasonable for what you get. The staff are nice and friendly, I left my purse in the bar and they kept it safe until I was back.
This bar is awesome!! Great atmosphere, awesome music and wicked staff!!
Dont use the bathrooms. Great vibes and music. Even on a Monday night
Fantastic bar with excellent music and an actual jukebox. Good beer and music
Good bar, ok food but bad service with bad attitudes.
Jeremy was awesome! Very friendly and great service. He liked the music we put on the juke box and made it a fun experience.
Cool vibe, loved the jukebox and the shooters are delicious. Lots of drink options.
Nice to see a dive bar in the mist of all college kid hang outs. Plus who doesnt love a bar where you can donate your bra to the collection hanging over the bar for a shot.
Wonderful bar downtown bar. Friendly staff great service.
I love the moose. Bomb ass place
Love this place!
My favourite place in dirty Vancouver. Great date spot for a quiet place to have drinks.
We had a great AFL Grand Final night. Top marks for the staff and venue Food
Had an amazing night last night. Our server (Nora?) Was phenomenal, she was a quick server and super nice and funny. 10/10 would go back
Great service, fair beer prices and delicious chicken wings
Good vibes!
Fun little dive bar with music. Haven t tried the food so can t comment on that, but good vibes
Good bar to have a beer and listen to good music. Reasonable prices and quiet atmosphere in the afternoon.
Rock On Vanvouver! Been coming here for going on a decade and its a phenomenal vibe for late nights as well as a sick daytime lunch spot. Fair prices for food and drink
The best bar in town.
Too loud. You might lose your hearing ability. Worst place to have a conversation with someone.
booze. hard liquor and a jukebox. never change. Kid-friendliness: nobody wants your kids here. not one person. Food : 5/5 |
Very small menu, but nice place and prices in line with the city norm
The name may be a bit confusing at first, because I didnt find a moose, neither on the wall nor on the counter. Maybe I didnt look too closely, it was my first evening in Vancouver after a loooong flight. After 40 hours, every long-haired rocker next to you at the bar probably looks like a moose. So when, after a few minutes in the minibar at the hotel, I looked for a place with a typical Canadian atmosphere, I quickly chose the Moose. If you want to get to know a city, you should visit a bar shortly before it closes. The later the evening, the more original the guests. And especially if you choose a bar with a Pacific Northwest flair. And everything worked out. The woman was quickly talking to the long-haired rockers, or was it the other way around...and the service was just great...unfortunately I cant remember the name. Regardless, it was great, even though I cant remember how I got back to the hotel, but I was complete and unharmed. And isnt that what its really all about when you go to a strange restaurant alone in a strange city?
Great deals and the best food in Vancouver! The potato skins are the best Ive ever had!
Top notch bar in Vancouver especially if you are into punk and metal. Super friendly staff that provide fast service. I love this place so I highly recommend giving it a try.
Its a bar. Decent selection of beer and great music.
Chicken burger was great and the service was fantastic! Vegetarian options: They have veggie patties. Food : 5/5 |
Very good atmosphere. Very friendly waiters
Large open windows make this place a magical dive bar in summer. Servers tonight were great.
Come here for dive. Stay here for music. Everyone gets laid.
The Moose is a small bar but great music, atmosphere. Amazing rock bar. And the staff are out of the world.
If you like pub food and metal, this is your place! Been here a few times, great hype bar before a concert! Or after for that matter! Or any time! Food
always stop here for a bite and drinks before a show. great vibes
Love this place. Can drink a super human amount of beer when here.
One of the only bars in Vancouver with any character. I ve been in plenty of places that have put a lot of thought into cultivating the kind of vibe that this place just exudes without a second thought. Cheap beers too.
My favorite pub in Vancouver. Super friendly and funny staff. Amazing beer selection. Good friendly crowd and the music is perfect!
Cool metal bar, great tunes
Service was poor felt discriminated Im Indigenous
Love the vibe of this place
Love this place. Only been once, but it was fantastic. Going to make it a permanent pre-concert stop!
If you are a metalhead you have to come here for a beer. I was here before the Iron Maiden show and it was a fantastic experience.
Great burgers there! A cool shop with lots of nice rocker accents. Happy to come back!
Vancouver desperately needs more places like this! Thank you
This is the place if youre looking for a real rock and metal music bar. Amazing vibe, quite nice music selection, there is a jukebox too. Dont expect anything fancy on the menu but the quality of the food and drinks is really good. Friendly service, nice staff. Overall, I spent a very nice time, and for sure will be visiting again. The best was the music, real hard rock, heavy metal and classics. 100% recommend
Nice place to stop in and rest up. Friendly staff and fair prices.
Favourite bar in Vancouver. Nice atmosphere, good service, always attentive, great music, sometimes a little loud. Food is good, regular bar food, but nothing special.
Very good music
Excellent rock/metal atmosphere
In town from Western New York, great music, good food, friendly people (Hi Jill !) Place Rocks.
Decent dive bar to have drinks and laughs, good music too.
Metaaaaaal! \m/
Great place to listen to some good rock and roll
Iron maiden hang out pre show place they got curly fry poutne decent menu and drinks just off the main strip of Grandville popular local spot
Loooooooove the Moose!
This is by far my favourite spot in Vancouver!! The dill pickle wings, the honey garlic wings and the superb service by Alysha is what we keep coming back for. Seriously, THE BEST WINGS EVER!! The Moose rocks!! Keep on keepin on, guys! Food
Bad service.
If I have to move out ..!..the MOOSE is my new home.
Perfect dive bar
I loved the music, and the attention is formidable, a place like a movie
Been wanting to try this place since moving to Van, place is smaller than expected, but the laid back feel of a neighbourhood pub is amazing, definitely hard to come by in downtown Van, little slice of home I guess To give you a better impression of what to expect; cook was out front at the bar area playing nerf gun with a couple of the customers :D Taste 1/1* Ordered the bacon cheese burger, juicy, well balanced, and plenty of lettuce, one of the best pub burgers I ve had Onion rings were nicely seasoned and crispy Value 0.5/1* Decently priced menu, though having no happy hour was a little bit of a let down, especially when everywhere else has $4 beer for HH, and they had their in-house ar $5.50 For the $2 onion ring upgrade, 10 onion rings feel a bit skimpy Service 1/1* Standard neighbourhood pub style, quick, on point, and friendly Cleanliness 1/1* Aside from the normal wear and tear on the seating and table, I d say it s above average when it comes to cleanliness of a pub Overall/Revisit 1/1* Would definitely revisit whenever I m homesick, or just feeling like having a good burger Paying for Reno? 0/-1* No Above and beyond? 0/+1* No
Always the best rock bar to hang before and after a show.
Mac n cheese
Just ok food. Wings were super small and oil didnt feel new
Alright place to go. Pretty cool rock n roll atmosphere. Theres a bunch of hanging bras behind the bar which is really cringy, mostly because they look store bought rather than some party girls leaving them behind. Food looked ok, there wasnt much option for vegans.
Staff was bit slow but good music fun atmosphere
Great bartenders, awesome music, cheap drinks. A perfect dive.
Always love everything about The Moose, food stepped up a notch too! Great job Warehouse Group, killing it as always with The Moose
This place scream dive from the street. That s why we went in. It was great and the staff inside were friendly and even were having fun at work. I will go here again when I come back to Vancouver.
The Moose rocks alot of history of rocknroll and metal at this establishment with all the photos on the wall of famous celebrities who have visited there,and still do,if you have never been there,get there,,and the food rocks too
Bartender got upset about tip, coerced the drunkest person to tip more. I watched the bartender tap the drunk persons card on the machine.
Great beer, great service, great music
Good atmosphere
Great food, great bar. Reminded me of Sneaky Dees in Toronto. They have large iron maiden murals.
Fun place, decent atmosphere. Food was surprisingly good!
Loved it. We went there after going to a fancy dinner out and werent full with small portions. Some chicken tenders, fries, beers, a couple of cocktails and Top Gun on the TV later we were happy and had a blast.
We discovered this bar by chance. Fast service and unbeatable value for money. The atmosphere is great and the dishes delicious. There are many drinks, for all tastes! Rock fans I recommend this place!
The cocktails are good. Prices are reasonable. Service is good. The space is a bit cramped up and the music can be a bit too loud.
10/10/10 Great bar, great service, good vibes and metal music. Look forward to returning
Always friendly and speedy service and they have the best nachos when all you want is standard, tasty nachos that arent pretentious. I appreciate that they always let me have an entire table or booth to myself even though its just me. Great specials all week mean its always a good day to go to The Moose! Cheers!
So good - Australians visiting the most metal bar ever and they chuck on random Australian punk while were there. Good vibes, great drinks selections - maybe a couple more vegan options on menu? But doesnt remove the 5 stars! So good - amazing place, guys!!
Its a decent spot. They dont accept debit which I thought was very weird.
The best heavy metal dive bar in the city, hands down!
Good food, great service & a beautiful atmosphere. I love it. A great Heavy Metal bar with awesome music and great staff. 10/10 would recommend to anyone and everyone
Rock and roll bar. Really good food.
Perfect eclectic dive bar with lots of stuff to look at, great atmosphere, good beer, excellent service. Would love to go again. The late night eats menus was reasonably priced at $12.50 for everything including wings, nachos, etc. Wings were solid and came with a delicious blue cheese dip. My wife and I got a plate of wings and a craft beer for about $40 total before tip, which was an excellent deal.
A must visit. Loud rock music, fun atmosphere and most importantly, incredible staff!! If I cant get a stop in at the Moose then my Vancouver trip isnt complete.
Great place to go to just go. Unassuming, good music, decent beer. One of the least pretentious places to go downtown. 100% worth the walk a few extra blocks
Perfect rock N roll bar with good food and good prices
If you are a fan of metal/ rock music and cheap drinks, this is it. The staff is great, efficient and badass. Mondays all weekly specials are on, so party on
Good rock and roll bar. Good food, beers and rock and roll.
Awesome place to spend it with friends
Nice little metal bar, they do a good selection of beers and spirits. The musics good, the artworks even better!
Love this place. Its become a tradition that every time Im in Van for a show I pop by for at least a PB&J, and usually a burger too. Food is great, drinks are great, prices are unreal, and I always feel surrounded by the best people.
This is an authentic bar. Great atmosphere great ambience. Beer is cheap.
Best dive punk rock bar on Granville.
Local Vancouver watering hole. Cant get any better than that
Finally a decent metal/rock bar. Complete with Eddie from Maiden on the walls. Nice selection of over the shoulder boulder holders above to the bar as well.. nice people, great atmosphere. Recommended
Need more bar like that in france
Great spot for a drink, decent music and pub grub. Waitress was excellent and kept the beer flowing - a proper pub.
Needs improvement. I think its time the bras get removed from the ceiling as they really dont do much for the ambience other then collect dust and make the place look trashy. The food was affordable but all our wings where cold. It would have been a more pleasant experience if we didnt need to leave to go somewhere else to use the bathroom as Ive seen cleaner public bathrooms in gas stations. I get they are going for a certain look but dingy and dirty isnt exactly welcoming for a pub/restaurant.
Over in Vancouver from the UK to see Iron Maiden on their Future Past tour. What an amazing find this place is. Food is good and beer is well priced. A Mecca for Metal Food : 5/5 |
Its my second house, I always enjoy being there
Great vibe and good beer
Stumbled on this place by complete chance, which was good as I love the music they play. Food was good, service was good, overall really enjoyed it. My Mrs not so much! We both enjoyed the cocktails though.
Went after the Maiden show, great place to hangout out
The Tuesday wing deal is great, love their dill pickle flavor!
Beer + hardrock... lovin it
Went there on Thanksgiving Monday there was only one person bartending/serving and he was great he was very attentive to the guests and was a hight note to end our night on
I love Alysha Luke and tonya great service
Great for a pre concert drink...or three.
Its ok, but definitely not for conservative people. Music is too loud. I think the bra on the wall is really silly to be honest (but I am sure some people find it funny and amusing) small place and too dark for me Food was good though and decently priced though, but I think I will give this place as a pass as the atmosphere is not really my thing.....but if you are into the rock n roll thing, then this place will do
Quick service, strong drinks.
My favorite dive bar in Vancouver
A very pleasant place to spend a good evening with your friends. Luke served us well and was understanding. It has the right vibe and adds a caring atmosphere to this place. If youre looking for a good, inexpensive bar for a night out in Vancouver, go here. Cocktail l.burg is not bad in real life.
Perfect place for a drink or two..... or three. Food left a little to be desired but was edible. Food : 3/5
Alysha is the most professional server in the biz. The beers are frosty and the vibes are the best in the downtown core. Skip the lines and actually enjoy your night at the moose.
Food
Its a dive bar and I love dive bars. I met a lot of nice people there
Cheap jukebox and drinks. Stellar staff and exactly what you want in a Canadian metal bar.
METAL music downtown Vancouver! Great atmosphere. Good food and definitely a super fun place to be. On Sundays $4 beer Food : 4/5 |
Been going to the Moose a long time, kind of a tradition to visit before and/or after a show at any of the venues along Granville. I love the music they play, food is cheap & the drinks arent too expensive either.
There may be likes and dislikes depending on the person. For us, it was so-so. However, we visited the pub because we really wanted hot wings. It was a bit noisy and quite dark. However, I think it would be okay for those who like this kind of atmosphere. Hot wings taste not bad~
The bartender was rude, and the waitress got our order wrong but the food was good.
The best by far...
Stopped in for 1. Sat at the bar, not busy. Made eye contact with both girls behind the taps. Theyre chatting away....time goes by. They putter around and keep chatting. I left. Im all for a chill environment, but lets focus on the service too, ladies.
