Tap & Barrel – Convention Centre - Vancouver, British Columbia

Typical tourist trap but with excellent food! The seating is interesting, between patio, main dining room and side room you are at their whim. I highly recommend the hummus! The Burger was very good and the Cesar had crispy capers which popped the salad to the next level.

Hands down one of the best places we visited in Vancouver. The food was delicious & affordable. We sat out on the patio and had a great view of the ocean. We ordered the guac & chips and could get more chips for the left over guac (which we never ... experienced anywhere else before). Our waiter (Lyle) was fantastic; super friendly and kind. It got busy quick, but we felt as if we were still checked in on frequently. Would come back 100%. Read more

Perfect weather. Perfect view. Perfect food. Perfect service. Bethan was so lovely and knowledgeable about the area and gave us Perfect suggestions on the food and activities. Miranda her boss was so sweet and kind and just the best experience possible. Please tip! Life is so expensive here and these people earned a little ... more more than the sad service we get in the States. Read more

I'm very disappointed with my recent visit. Reserved for my mom's birthday and stated that in the open table reservation area. We did not get a single acknowledgement about this and did not get offered a complimentary drink or slice of cake which we would have gotten at any other competitor. The squid ... was extremely dry and over cooked to the point that it was hard to distinguish what we were eating and the lack of spice made it very unpleasant. The chicken had the worst side Sparagus that I have ever had with yellow, low quality and over cooked sparagus. The chicken itself was definitely cooked and kept in a warmer as it was dry and very chewie. The steaks that we had were sirloin that did not have the same quality you would expect from that price range. They were very chewie again and could not be compared to most steak places in that price category. The whole experience was below average and the only good thing I can point out was the drink selection and their cocktails. Would not recommend this to anyone specially with similar prices you can have a much better service and food experience at Cactus club for example. Read more

Right off the harbor, we were able to visit this gem of a location. We were seated in the outdoor area, and compared to what some others thought, it was NOT an airline lounge. The beer flight was delicious and I wish that I could have had a second. It was ... good sampling local BC beers! They also had a wine flight, but I figured I should save it for another time. The food was delicious and came out rather quickly. We were able to get a second bowl of chips for free. The portion sizes were very doable, and the meal both looked and tasted great. Overall, would highly recommend! Read more
