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.

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.

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.

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?

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

December 23, 2023

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.

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~
