Nice new beer bistro. Food was very good and selection of beers was pretty interesting. Lots of focus on BC craft beer which was nice. Only complaint was the taps are VERY cold, so order a few at a time so they can warm up.

Obviously I’m in the minority here in not recognizing the current "greatness" of Ensemble Tap but its a nice new addition to the Vancouver scene - with some decent seasonal taps from Howe Sound and a couple of less-commonplace Gouden Carolus and La Chouffee Blonde. The food is very good and, though limited, I appreciate the tap selection. It isn’t the greatest "beer bar/resto" in Vancouver (others seem to disagree?!?), but they have a lot of potential for building into that "micro-brew/high-end food" niche.

Sat at the bar and the service was beyond excellent. The bartenders were very knowledgable in the food and beers on the menu with great reccomendations. The G.M. came over to say hi to us and also gave us a brief run down to the concept of the restaurant and with his own reccomendations. He was very helpful, friendly and very funny. Ensemble Tap is the place to hang, whether you’re just going in for a drink or a family meal. The food was amazing! Well done to the ensemble team! back of the house and front. Great selections of beers on draught and by the bottle. well thought of and well put together. Cheers!

A great new place to go in Vancouver for craft beers - not just Canadian brews but also some damn fine Belgians. Love being able to drink Gouden Carolus on tap! They have 15 micro-brews on tap and another 25 beers in bottles (including a couple macros for the unenlightened). It is worth going for the beer alone - but what makes it a must visit is the food. Owned and run by Top Chef Canada winner Dale MacKay, there’s some delicious food designed to pair well with beer. Their Bangers & Spaetzle is fantastic and the Apple Crumble is to die for. The place has a warm, sports-bar ambience (screens everywhere which was great for watching the hockey) and excellent service. I’ll be visiting here frequently.
