Had a great time at Tap & Barrel! The Tap Burger with waffle fries was the standout—moist and flavorful. A special mention to the fried pickles, which were perfect with the beers. I even got a free beer, as my order got mixed up with someone else. We didn’t make a reservation, so there was about a 15-minute wait, but it was worth it. If you’re visiting in summer, definitely sit outside to enjoy the beautiful view.

Very nice restaurant with great view of downtown and the Burrard Bridge! We went on Saturday night and it was pretty busy. Our server was friendly, but since he had to look after a number of tables, he was quite occupied. The sharing plates were on the smaller side. The nachos with guacamole chips were decent size, but the tuna tartare and halibut cake were quite small. We also had the pizza. For drinks, the peach beer was pretty good, but the others, including the honey lager, were less tasty.

First time at this location and it was great. I was visiting family from out of town and we stopped here for happy hour. We got seated upstairs at the patio. The view was awesome. The server was very pleasant and even took pictures of us with the bridge background. Food and cocktails were tasty. We had such a wonderful time. I'd definitely recommend coming here. I'd love to come back next time I'm in town again.

I had a fantastic time at this restaurant. I had the halibut fish and chips, which were crispy and tasty, and my friend loved the lobster roll. We sat by the water, enjoying a beautiful sunset. Our server, Calloum, was excellent, making sure everything was perfect. Great food, great view!

Lovely warm day in Granville island. Popped in for lunch. Place was busy, busy but we were seated immediately and menus and drinks brought over very quickly. It wasn’t too loud, easy to talk to each other We both decided on the west coast clubhouse which turned out to be delicious, fresh and tasty. Great food, great experience.

We made reservations and got a great view on the upstairs patio. Service was really good. I had a 10oz Ribeye which was pretty good but not great though the Creole compound butter was excellent. My wife had Cioppino which was very good. Shrimp, Mussels and Scallops with garlic toast. I think those were the best Scallops we've had. We don't usually like Scallops but we agreed these were quite good. I had an IPA beer and she had a virgin strawberry drink that had these bubbles like bubble tea. We had a great time.

We finally got away from the vultures (our children lol), for a much needed date night. The atmosphere is great, I mean come on it's Granville Island. Amazing view from our table, it was a secluded table for two in the corner with an amazing view. The food was delicious and our server was fantastic. He helped us to make great choices for our meals/drinks. The dessert (Oreo Cheesecake) was AMAZING! To top it all of we got a parking spot upon entry, no driving around. Thanks for helping us have a great night out! Chris

I ordered food through Uber Eats and didn t receive my sandwich. When I contacted the restaurant, they apologized and told me to request a reimbursement. However, there was no option to resend the order, which should be available for errors on the restaurant s side. Now I m left without my dinner and have to order elsewhere without any compensation. Who s taking responsibility for this? This is completely unacceptable!!!

I had worst customer service experience in this place. I asked the server regarding one of our orders and she ended up arguing rather than checking with the kitchen to ask them. And worst of all she abandoned us and she asked the manger to serve us. I won t recommend this place as they don t value or validate customer comments.

October 23, 2024

Nice view but terrible service and food for our group during the happy hour. Waited almost 30mins to pay because the waiter said there was a malfunction with the machine but just disappeared. Then he double charged us for tips. I didn t realized that he charged me cumulatively 40% in tips when he autoselected 20% on the machine. The bill already had around 20% for large group. Absolutely ridiculous. Never going back. This place is a scam.

Just hopped in for lunch on a rainy day. I ordered a classic: Fried Chicken Mac & Cheese. A great item to fill you up, yet it gets saltier every time I visit. It took approximately 25 minutes for the food to come out around 2pm on a Wednesday afternoon. I always make sure I come during a time when the rushes have died down to ensure proper service and attention to your food.

This was a few months back, me and my boyfriend wanted to do a quick date and bite and saw this beautiful location for Tap and Barrel. There was no wait and got seated quickly, we got a beautiful seat along the water during the sunset and watched a wedding happen above us. When we sat we waited around 15 minutes for our server to greet, she then didn t take a drink order and left us hanging for even longer. Once we got a drink order in we were on a little time crunch so we ordered our food at the same time. We waited around 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive. (I get it they were busy, but there were empty tables around us it couldn t have been super busy. (As someone who works in a fast place restaurant like so beside the stadiums and theatres downtown.) she never once checked to see if we got our drinks, and didn t acknowledge us for around an hour later when our food arrived. (Yes it took an hour) our food came after so so long we weren t even interested in eating there anymore nor did we have the time to eat there anymore. We immediately asked for the bill and didn t get to eat a bite of our food. Atleast she was quick with one thing, the bill. She immediately came back with the bill but this ruined our experience even more. She created conversation only while paying and it was only with my boyfriend sitting across. She was showing him astrology apps on her phone not including me in the conversation and disregarded that we had bad service in the first place. When we took the food home it was absolutely delicious and so was the environment but definitely not worth waiting 30 minutes for a beer and an hour for the food with no interactions from our server. Had hopes because of such good reviews and great location.

There are so many options for food on Granville Island it might seem overwhelming. I had been to GI a few times before and had never been here so I decided to give it a try. I was solo so luckily the wait was minimal. They have a great happy hour. The food was great, the beer I had on tap was great. Great view from the bar. The person I sat next to was a long time regular and said this was one of the biggest bars on the west coast.

We recently hosted a large group dinner with 20+ friends from out of town (including kids). The event coordinator Kharah was so great to work with and there were great options to make hosting a dinner of that size smooth and efficient. When we arrived we had the perfect set up, an amazing view, space to stand and mingle and most importantly space for the kids to move around a bit. The staff were incredible! Bradley and Eliza (sorry for spelling errors) were so on top of things and had the best attitude and vibe the whole night, especially with the kids. Many of our friends commented on how great our servers were, they really added to such a great atmosphere. I can highly recommend Tap & Barrel bridges for a group dinner with kids, especially for the location on Granville island and hosting out of town friends and family. Such a great night we will definitely do it again.

I just had to share how impressed I was with our recent dining experience at Tap & Barrel. We were there for a teambonding event last Friday, and everything was perfect, thanks in no small part to our amazing waitress. Our waitress was truly exceptional. She managed our teambonding event with such professionalism and attention to detail. Despite the busy atmosphere, she seamlessly balanced our needs with those of other customers, and her efficiency and friendliness made a big impact. Her ability to juggle multiple tasks while ensuring we felt well taken care of was impressive! The food was delicious and the atmosphere was great, but it was the outstanding service that really stood out. It s rare to see such dedication and skill, and I wanted to make sure her efforts were recognized. If you re looking for a place with top-notch service and a fantastic dining experience, Tap & Barrel is the place to go!

Awesome waterfront location restaurant on iconic Granville Island. Tap & Barrel have really improved this Bridges location from past ownership. A little bit pricey. Some food was not cooked that well. Paid parking available. Dietary restrictions: Waitress was attentive to allergies Parking: The fee for parking depends on what time of day and weekday or weekend. Granville Island is a tourist and local favourite spot, so parking could be hard to find depending on specific times.

Had a really disappointing experience at Tap and Barrel. The service was incredibly slow, and the staff acted like they were doing us a favor just by being there. They were rude and dismissive, making us feel unwelcome the entire time. It took forever to get our food, and when it finally arrived, they barely acknowledged us. The whole vibe was like they couldn t care less about their customers. Definitely not worth the hype, and I won t be coming back.

We had a terrible experience at Tap and Barrel. Despite having a disabled friend with us, they refused to accommodate our request to put two tables together, claiming they don t usually do that. Several tables were empty and reserved, but none were ready. The manager was incredibly rude and showed no willingness to help or make us feel welcome. Leaving money on the table while being treated poorly is unacceptable. Definitely not a place I would recommend.

This is a popular restaurant and bar in Vancouver, where you can enjoy great views and delicious food. Located on the waterfront, the terrace seats offer panoramic views of the ocean and downtown. In a casual atmosphere, you can enjoy craft beer and local wine, as well as an extensive menu of burgers and seafood, making it the perfect place to relax with friends and family. The terrace seats are especially popular on sunny days, so it might be a good idea to go early!

We live locally so have been here several times. The patio and location are spectacular and weve sent our out of town guests here for sunset drinks. The low rating is for the quality of food and service from our most recent visit. We ordered chicken wings and the steak, and specifically asked for the chicken wings to arrive first as they are an appetizer. The waitress, barely out of high school, said yes but then somebody else delivered them at the same time. We were sharing both so by the time we finished the chicken wings the steak was cold. It also was very stringy and grizzly, typically found in low grade quality meat. We also didnt see our server again for over 20 minutes so didnt get a chance to order drinks with our meal. She also seemed in a bad mood... I know wait staff have been hard to find and this was unfortunately someone who clearly didnt want to be there. Despite the lovely patio, well avoid this place in the near future. Probably still nice for patio drinks.

My biggest takeaway from the dinner was that I wanted to request a slight change in menu options. I hope you will take this into consideration. I ordered the 7 oz steak frites but I thought it would be better if I could replace the fries with more steak. The fries at bridges cost about 7 ish dollars and 5 ounces of steak would cost about the same about unprepared. With the extra labor to cook a bigger steak well round up to 30 dollars for a plain 12 ounce steak instead of 27 dollars on the happy hour and 34 on the normal menu. This would also be less work for the kitchen. Even if few people ordered this, you would not be losing money as you could use it for the other steak options. I hope to see this on the menu next time.

We went here for my brothers birthday today expecting good food, but we were disappointed. We were seated, and served by a lovely waitress (Ailbhe), then ordered drinks. The strawberry lychee burst that me and my brother ordered didnt have lychee juice in it, just lemon and soda water. My glass also had a crack in it and that had to be changed. We then ordered our starters and mains, and specified that wed like them to be separate, which our waitress wrote down. Somehow the kitchen didnt get this information, and did our food at the same time, so we had to send back our mains so we could eat our starters first, to which a male waiter rolled his eyes at us. When our mains were brought out to us afterwards, it was clear they were left on the side for 15 minutes either under a heat lamp or not. My dads burger had wilted lettuce from the heat lamp, and my hot seafood ceasar salad was cold, cold shellfish obviously not being good to eat. Overall it was quite disappointing, my brother being upset that his birthday dinner wasnt the best.

Absolutely delicious food, amazing location, and great service! We had the spicy tuna, West Coast Club, and a pizza, everything was delicious. The is tasty too!

During my visit, I discovered a piece of hair in my drink. I brought this to the attention of the server, who took the drink away but then returned with the same drink, still containing the hair. After pointing this out a second time, the server mentioned that the bar area was dark, which seemed like an excuse rather than an attempt to address the issue properly. I subsequently emailed the management, and while I appreciated the apology and the offer of a gift card, it has now been almost a month with no resolution. Despite repeated follow-ups, I have not received the gift card as promised. This experience has been disappointing, and I hope this feedback helps to improve customer service at this location.

Food is terrible. Probably the worst pizza in town. Cheese is rubbery and the mushrooms are disgusting. Ive had the falafel buger as well and its terrible too. Nachos are bad too.

Very lively place, and it has a beautiful terrace. Good for family lunch or dinner date. The menu is quite limited, but food is good. A waiter served the wrong wine, which was promptly fixed. Also, wine was in a decanter, I prefer to see my bottle.

Had a great experience at Tap & Barrel! My friend and I arrived with our dogs and were received with milk bones by a friendly host. We were able to enter the patio without going through the restaurant and sat at a table with a fantastic view. Our server was attentive and friendly and the food was delicious. Vegetarian options: There s a veggie burger and a few other vegetarian dishes

The Ahi Tuna bowl only had a very small amount of tuna in it. I was very surprised since were right on the water and next to the market. The mixed greens with added cajun chicken salad was very good. It was a beautiful day and 70 degrees, which was ruined by staff, turning on the heaters on the deck. It made it hard to breathe, and we had to ask for ours to be turned off. Everyone says you must go here. But I think this is just another restaurant.

Started off with the very best guacamole and chips, tuna poke, deep fried pickles, and wings. Our server extraordinaire was Luizah and she just made the whole meal that much more enjoyable. Excellent service and a treat to be served by her. Hope management gives this girl a pat on the back.

The view and atmosphere are the only redeeming qualities .. I brought my best friend here for lunch after a lovely morning strolling Granville, the beautiful covered patio along the water and smiles of the hostesses lured us in to check it out only to be met with the worst dining experience I ve had in Vancouver in years. We were sat very quickly on the patio, the inside was empty . Waters didn t arrive for almost 10 minutes , which then followed another 5-10 for drink orders and finally our server greeted us. Despite being ready to order our server quickly dropped off drinks for the table without much of a word to us and disappearing again. Knowing the service was so slow already when the server finally came to take our orders we put in an appetizer first (made sure to clarify that it be sent out first though should that even be a question ?). Almost an hour of being sat and drinking waters our food came , all at once. Server dropped off the appys for the group with all the entreees and any mods we had told them (eg no tomato) were ignored. DO not bother with the steak. It was the worst steak I ve ever had and not medium rare, the whole thing was dark brown and tough not an ounce of pink could be seen on it. I wanted to complain but the server didn t even ask how everything was until another 15 minutes at that point I just started eating because we d been there so long . Now the sangrias at least they were cheap but so gross. Tasted so watery and the ice was almost gone when they arrived to the table like it had been sitting on a bar (considering they came when we re almost done eating I wouldn t be surprised ) or just made terribly . As soon as our last round of drinks came we asked for the bill desperate to leave as our little lunch had now hauled into the 2 hour mark , and again it took almost 15 minutes. Being a server myself I tipped 20% and politely left but I ll never be back or recommend to anyone. The entire service was so disorganized and food subpar. We wanted to try something new but you re better off going to the keg around the corner or the seafood place for sure

Asked for patio seating for six and was told 10 minute wait so we did. They escorted us to an indoor table and when we asked for our original request for the patio seating they told us it would be an additional 30 minute wait. There was plenty of seating for six out on the patio. Fish and chips had too much batter and were oily, our waitress was good but our non patio seating with no view of the harbour was disappointing. Overall experience felt like get you in get you out BLAH

They have a great happy hour but seems they got rid of it for the summer weekends so they can take advantage of all the tourists that visit granville island. GREED much? Go to olympic village location, its much better and they still have their happy hour menu daily....even on the weekends.

If youre on Granville Island, this spot is a must! Everything about our visit was awesome. Our server was so sweet, and he took such good care of us. The rosé sangria was tasty, and paired very well with the yummy tuna tartare. I had the lobster roll with side Ceasar salad, and my partner had the seafood chowder with garlic bread. The mains were delicious! We were too full to try dessert - but now we have a reason to go back!

The steak was cooked to perfection and had an excellent taste. However, I felt that the portion of mashed potatoes was a bit small in comparison to the steak. Increasing the mashed potato portion would create a better balance. The beer selection on tap is extensive, offering a wide variety to suit everyone s preferences. I tried the pale ale, which had a pleasant and well-rounded taste. The diverse beer options make it easy to find something enjoyable for any beer enthusiast. Overall, the meal was satisfying, with generous portions and high-quality ingredients. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was welcoming and comfortable. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the drink selection. Parking: During the summer, good luck finding a parking spot!

We had reservations for 5 people (and had also requested a view of the water). When we arrived, it took them over 10 minutes to get us seated. But it was a table for 4 and they just put a 5th chair at the end of the table. Were 5 adults so this wasnt too comfortable and we requested a bigger table which they accomodated. Not sure why they didnt just put us there in the first place Anyhow, not a huge deal and everything went well after that. Our server was professional, friendly and punctual. Most of all, the food was delicious. Would definitely return
