Comfort Food
The Yaletown Brewing Company is Vancouver's original and best Brewpub. Founded in 1994, just as the former warehouse district of Yaletown was just beginning to emerge as a destination for businesses and residents, the YBC was built with the vision of being a true neighbourhood pub - a welcoming gathering place whether you arrived dressed in a suit or flip-flops.

With a 160-seat Restaurant and a lively Pub with TVs, a pool table, and a fireplace, YBC has become a one-stop destination for everything from large corporate events to quick after-work beers with the regulars.

Make your reservations today for our dining room; please note that all pub and patio seating is offered on a first come first serve basis.

    The happy hour menu was great and good value and very tasty. There is a fun energy in restaurant. Service was quite slow, despite not being overly busy. It was evident from staff interactions that everyone was quite stressed, possibly due to being understaffed. I would still come back though, food was tasty!

    We were squished in a back corner near a large loud table, even though we had passed multiple empty tables that would have accommodated our party more comfortably. Getting drinks was initially confusing and frustrating with two wait staff members coming to our table after we had sat there for 10 minutes (they also didn't seem to have communicated with each other). The food came out really quickly though and was quite good, so kudos to the chefs. The waitstaff barely checked on us, and there was no offer of a dessert menu at the end. We came here because it was conveniently located and seemed accessible for all members of our party. I don't think I'd go out of my way to come here though when there are much better restaurants nearby.

    Waitress was just awful. I went to hostess with a question on drink menu and asked to speak to manager. He never came. Then told to talk to bartender regarding certain type of beer. Some brewing company!! Bottomline, not worth the stress. Too many other choices in Yale town!!

    Yaletown Brewery did not knock me out...looking forward to the brunch and tried the Santa Fe...not good. The green salsa just lacked flavour you would expect from a Salsa Benedict. The pizza looked good and my wife's burger was good as were the fries. Service was good and the drinks were good...just that Santa Fe thing didn't work for me.

    Patio is great on a cool summer night. It’s fun to sit and people watch. There is always something fun to see. Staff seemed not to be on top of things or enthusiastic to be working, but I can’t blame them , as I’m sure some of the clientele get annoying and snotty. Drinks are 100% and good food options with flavours and not the same boring options as other places.

    We’ve eaten at the restaurant so many times. This was a first in the very armpit of the restaurant. It was literally the last corners seat in the very back of the restaurant around the corner. Pretty awful when you enjoy the restaurant for the food, drink and the VIEW.

    The service was good and our waitress was friendly and attentive. However, the food we ordered was not so impressive, especially for the price we paid. I had Buddha bowl that had kale and carrots chopped in big chunks, and super hard for chowing. Tofu was without taste and there was barely any dressing. Pizza with duck meat was equally not great. Burger was good but not everyone eats burger. Overall I’d suggest improvements in the food taste/menu items.

    Location, service and food were all good. Only comments: (1) We were sat right in front of the sliding door to the patio, which was being used. There was a near constant stream of staff going past us and opening/closing the door. (2) The after dinner coffee was cold and by the time a new pot was brewed, we were done our diesserts.

    Umm, flat beer at a brewery? No dark beers / stouts on the menu? Food was not even good “pub food” . We’re from out of town, been going here for years; never again. It’s tired, used to be great service, great burgers, good beer…. Non of the above exists currently.

    Took forever to get acknowledged. The grilled cheese which I have had before was really bland this time around. No longer have the tomato gin soup which was replaced by the chowder which was not good. Hubby’s meal was average too. Only one desert option. Not terrible but can’t recommend as there are better options nearby.

    Got the beef brisket sandwich. The meat is so dry and reheated numerous times. The just jammmed it with aioli Or mayo or something to mask the dryness of the meat. It was definitely a $25 bad decision.

    there was one exceptionally loud table of intoxicated men that nobody cared to ask to respect the rest of the customers in the patio area; the server was so concerned with her own appearance and outfit that she couldn't pay attention to customers; they took my wine glass away before I was even done 🤦🏻‍♀️ the original glasses were so small two sips of drink emptied the glass good luck finding the server for a refill. 3 poutines, 2 pop and a 6 ounce glass of wine was $88 it would take a lot to ever convince me it's worth going back
