Nice enough bar/restaurant/lounge feel to the place and the patio tacked onto the side looks out over the park and is nice in decent weather. Service is perfunctory and can seem a bit hurried when they’re busy (i.e. forgotten items). As decent a beer list as you’ll find on the drive though a bit pricey for many of the imports. BC Micros also available on tap. Food is quite good especially for brunch. Overall it’s one of the better restaurant/bars in the city...

Decent enough spot, good service if sitting at the bar. Very over priced but I guess you are paying for the selection, although they only have 1 I haven’t had. Didn’t eat

A pleasant "L" shaped restaurant with an extensive Belgian beer list. In addition to the InBev taps were a couple of R&B and Okanagan handles. The beers are fairly pricey and the micros on tap were in sub-par condition. All three of the beers I tried (R&B Sun God, R&B Raven Cream and Okanagan Dark Munich) tasted of diacetyl. I ordered a quality 750ml bottle of Darbyste ($18) Belgian Ale from their extensive (30 bottle Belgian list) and some Korean Ribs ($11). Its a pricey place but well situated on Commercial Drive and has a decent ambiance.

Bright, wood-accented interior with gleaming InBev taps. The bottle list is focused on the Belgians, and includes several spec products. Prices are in line with Chambar. I didn’t eat much but the food I had was pretty good. At this point, the best bar in town for bottles.
