BLARNEY STONE REVIEWS

The Blarney Stone is my go to neighbourhood pub! The space is expansive and has a very warm and inviting vibe, and the atmosphere is always friendly. They serve the best pint of Guinness in the city and during some off hours you can even snag one for $5 and some change. I’ve recently tried their smash burger and it was probably one of the best burgers I’ve had in the city! Highly recommend this place!.

Fun times to be had at this Irish pub. Place gets busy on Friday/weekends, yet the service from the bartenders was always consistent (friendly too). There is a $10 cover charge on weekends but it's worth it (ATM inside as well). Great live music with a big dance floor for you to shake your lucky charms. 10/10.

Had a great night out here with friends on a Saturday night, live music and a good crowd! Bar staff and waitresses were are so lovely and friendly. I will absolutely be back!.

ALIBI ROOM REVIEWS

This is my first time here, and we had a great time . We sit by the bar, and we l enjoyed it. Our servicer, Blaize, was very knowledgeable and friendly. She knows everything about the beer and the food . We were amazed by how much she knew about everything on the menu. She is super nice and outgoing. We ordered craft beer , a couple flights. The wings we ordered were delicious and loved our beer. We will definitely invite our friends and come back again.

This is a great spot in a really cool, old building. They have a variety of seating and a great vibe. Their food and drink menu has a lot of great options. I branched out and got the pork belly burger which was delicious. The fries were also perfectly done and were really tasty. The service was quick and friendly. A great spot in Gastown that I will definitely visit again.

Great place to enjoy beer and some bites in Gastown. Try the poutine and their beer flight from the Dageraad brewery! Vegetarian options: You have some vegetarian options to eat.

THE LAMPLIGHTER PUBLIC HOUSE REVIEWS

Really enjoyed having a dinner gathering here the other day. The server was very kind and attentive to our large group of party. I ordered the fish and chips as well as a salmon dish and both were delicious. Overall, I really enjoyed the atmosphere! There was live music throughout the evening, which kept us entertain. I recommend popping in for a drink and enjoying the live music when your in Gastown. Thank you for the experience!.

Great place to grab drinks and food with friends. The staff is super friendly and the prices are fair. I especially recommend the Parmesan rosemary fries as an appetizer/snack it comes with the best curry sauce. Packed on Fridays, quieter on other days, plenty of seating as well as arcade games.

A few friends and I went to watch the Canucks game last week and had a great experience. Our server (Lena) was very friendly and was able to handle our large group without delays or issues. Food was amazing and they have a lot of screens to watch games on. Thanks for the awesome time! We’ll be back :):).
