Latest reviews from Vancouver
| 74 /100 9811 NE 15TH AVE “Was there about 5 years ago and really enjoyed their beer, but food truck was only food, and it was just OK. Have had their beers at other locations and enjoyed them“ |
| 66 /100 2905 ST. JOHNS BLVD “Small place with a patio, 11 own beers on tap when I stopped by, tasty pizza (smallish though) OK beer“ |
| 64 /100 705 SE PARK CREST AVE D430, VANCOUVER, WA 98683 “Medium sized place, 14 own beers plus a cider and hard seltzer on tap when I visited, food truck was outside, friendly service, average beer, 5 oz tasters available“ |
| 74 /100 2905 ST. JOHNS BLVD “Have been to this place 3 or 4 times over the years. It's only about 5 miles from my house. There are other breweries that are closer that I enjoy more. Have a friend who really like this place and goes there every couple of weeks.“ |
| 80 /100 809 MACARTHUR BLVD “This was an old convenience store, and they use the coolers for a large assortment of different beers. The ambience is a little strange. Service is really good. Beer selection is great if you count the coolers. They have good pizza, but the other offerings are limited. My son played in a rock band with the owner, and he had been to our house when he was younger.“ |
| 76 /100 Ben’s Bottle Shop (Bar) 8052 EAST MILL PLAIN BLVD “Been here a few times. They have a full wall of coolers with a wide selection of beers + about 24 taps. The food is decent, but nothing special. Have found some good beers here and the staff was knowledgeable and helpful.“ |
| 76 /100 Total Wine & More - Vancouver, WA (Beer Store) 4816 NE THURSTON WAY “This the closest store that has a large selection of beer other than going to Portland. They have a pretty good selection of the larger NW breweries and a few of the smaller ones. About 1/4 of the store is beer of which 1/3 is individual bottles. They also have a selection of European beers.“ |
| 60 /100 BevMo! East Vancouver (Beer Store) 700 SE 160TH AVE “Been to the store 2 or 3 times in the last 5 years. They don't carry many single bottle items so that is why I don't go there very often.“ |
| 76 /100 The Thirsty Sasquatch (Bar) 2110 MAIN STREET “Was there about a month ago. Had pizza and beer. The pizzas are HUGE and a nice selection on draft. I found a De Garde Brewing beer, which being a very small brewery with a great reputation was surprising.“ |
| 74 /100 2905 ST. JOHNS BLVD “Brewery #7 on the Vancouver brewery crawl, thanks to my uncle. 9/13/23. Smallish place. Warehouse. Beers all good. Service fine. Liked the DB Cooper references. Sorry can't remember more. Was pretty drunk.“ |
| 72 /100 2315 MAIN STREET “Vancouver brewery tour #6. 9/13/23. Smallish inside. Service fine. Beers all good. Can't remember much else... was pretty drunk .“ |
| 70 /100 108 W. EVERGREEN BLVD. “Vacouver brewery tour #5. 9/13/23. Upscale vibe. Bartender helpful enough. Good bar food. A beer cheese dip w/ sausage and seasoned bread. Beers were solid.“ |
| 66 /100 650 WATERFRONT WY “Vancouver brewery tour #4, 9/13/23. RIght on the river which is nice. Pretentious feel to the place but that didn't extend to the staff thankfully. They were cordial and helpful. Didn't eat. Beers were all solid (tried 5). Beer and food both pretty pricy. Decent stop as it's an easy walk to other places.“ |
| 86 /100 507 COLUMBIA STREET “Vancouver brewery crawl stop #3, 9/13/23. Probably my favorite brewery in the state and the best of this trip. Warehousy vibe. Long bar. Some tables. Bartender helpful and friendly but a tad bit absent. Beers were all very good. Two flights of six. Finished it all (much to my chagrin later). All well balanced and well executed. Didn't eat but they have food. Prices OK. Highly recommended.“ |
| 72 /100 700 WASHINGTON ST. “Vancouver brewery (and cidery) crawl stop #2, 9/13/23. The corner of an office building--kinda corporate vibe. Clean, bright. Bartender was friendly. Didn't try the food but the pita pizza I saw the bartender make looked tasty. Expensive... flight of 6 was over $21. Ciders range from good to very good. Worth a stop if you like cider.“ |
| 70 /100 1109 WASHINGTON STREET “Vancouver brewery crawl, 9/13/23. Large place. Large bar, lots of tables, some kind of patio but it was closed for a private party. The potstickers I tried were nice and tasty. A ton of beers on offer. 50 or so (including a handful of guest ciders and their wines). I was able to make a flight of 7 and all 7 were good, with one or two standouts. I was honestly a bit alarmed by the vast quantity of options. Unfortunately the service wasn't great. Not terrible but very inattentive.“ |
| 74 /100 809 MACARTHUR BLVD “My uncle took be by here. Dark feel... dive or biker bar feel. Trivia night... it was packed. Staff friendly if a bit slow. Flight of six mostly good. Maybe some tweaks needed. Didn't eat. Also a bit of a bottle shop with decent prices. Lots of parking. Nice addition to Vancouver breweries.“ |
| 62 /100 Ben’s Bottle Shop (Bar) 8052 EAST MILL PLAIN BLVD “Interesting place. Beer bar and bottle shop. Decent selection if a bit haphazard. Decent draft selection. Didn't really interact with the staff. Kinda gruff and then absent, but it was near closing. Prices high, and seemed high for the area. Okay.“ |
| 76 /100 2200 NE ANDRESEN ROAD #B “Located in a building with an industrial vibe. Big patio out front. Decent sized inside. Small bar, lots of tables. Everything wood. Even the chairs with a wood-grain design plastic or vinyl. Bartender helpful and tried to get the Packers game on for me. Lots of beers on tap. Beers were all good, not great. Prices decent. Parking good.“ |
| 78 /100 2200 NE ANDRESEN ROAD #B “Medium size place with a patio, 15+ own beers on tap; taco food truck in front; friendly service, flights of 6 available“ |
| 82 /100 2200 NE ANDRESEN ROAD #B “Have been here a few times and usually get a flight. The bartender is always knowledgeable about the beers and friendly. Nice atmosphere and you can view some of the brew vats or sit outside if the weather is nice. Nice place to go for a beer and conversation. Usually not overcrowded either.“ |
| 64 /100 17707 SE MILL PLAIN BLVD. “Large, modern looking place, 20+ own beer on tap, friendly service, ok food, mediocre beer, reasonable prices, flights available, good wifi“ |
| 82 /100 5612 NE 119TH ST “This is my favorite brewery in Vancouver and have been here numerous times. Love their beers and the food is really good now as they had some problems with food quality when they first opened "The Feral House" which is their downtown location. I haven't had a beer from them that I didn't like. Some are better than others though.“ |
| 82 /100 4216 NE MINNEHAHA ST #108 “Have been there a few times as they make a really good pizza, though a little pricey. Had their Reuben pizza last night and it was really good.“ |
| 48 /100 1900 N.E. 162ND, STE. B107 “Medium sized place in a non descript strip mall; about 10 own beers on tap plus few wines and ciders; average food, not really worth revisiting“ |
| 72 /100 New Seasons Market - Fisher’s Landing (Grocery Store) 2100B SE 164TH AVE “A nice supermarket with a good beer selection. Much better than average selection of single cans.“ |
| 70 /100 BevMo! East Vancouver (Beer Store) 700 SE 160TH AVE “Large alcohol store, with an isle and a cooler full of beer. No many singles, mostly six-packs and cases.“ |
| 70 /100 Mav’s Taphouse (Restaurant) 108 W EVERGREEN BLVD “(New incarnation at this address) Medium size space with a patio, good beer selection with mostly OR and WA breweries represented, decent food, good WiFi, gets crowded on weekends. No flights presently but half pours are available.“ |
| 64 /100 Tap Union Freehouse (Bar) 1300 WASHINGTON STREET “Medium size space on two floors plus a patio, food menu mostly consists of small but tasty sandwiches; taps are mostly WA/OR, bottle shop on premises; unlimited $2 samples, WiFi“ |
| 68 /100 1109 WASHINGTON STREET “Medium size space, large patio, lots of mostly own beer, some ciders and wines; decent food, good WiFi, one signature flight“ |
| 74 /100 507 COLUMBIA STREET “Medium sized place plus a patio; NW decor; 13 own beers plus few guest and ciders on tap when I visited; few wines, fridge with some cans; good WiFi; good burgers; few vintage video games; very decent beer“ |
| 84 /100 17707 SE MILL PLAIN BLVD. “Been there a few times. Nice atmosphere, modern, great food, the last time we were there we had the pretzel sticks with dipping sauce. My wife and myself thought they were great. Have had great food all the times we've been there. Though one time we were there they had an almost full house and it was very noisy.“ |
| 80 /100 4216 NE MINNEHAHA ST #108 “Location is a kind of a industrial strip mall, I guess. Family style seating in the brewery nice little place. Good price and good house made selection with a couple guest taps.“ |
| 64 /100 507 COLUMBIA STREET “They have very good beer, but food and service was average, maybe due to the fact that they just started food service.“ |
| 86 /100 Mav’s Taphouse (Restaurant) 108 W EVERGREEN BLVD “like going to this place the food is excellent and the beer very good. Their beers are fairly high ABV and I like that type of beer.“ |
| 78 /100 1801 SE COLUMBIA RIVER DR “Large place with a patio overlooking the river, excellent happy hour prices, good beer“ |
| 72 /100 1900 N.E. 162ND, STE. B107 “Nice typical mall type McMenamins. Great service. Had a few decent brews. Similar food. Worth visiting for the beers and happy hour.“ |
| 28 /100 809 MACARTHUR BLVD “What a disappointing place this is. I was expecting heavy metal themes all around, but got almost nothing of the sort. The interior is a bit grungy, with plenty of seating, and they were playing classic rock (better than most places, but that’s not metal). Beers themselves are either infected or just not on the mark. Flights available, but a bit pricey, especially given the poor beer quality. Service is friendly enough, but don’t know anything about beer or metal. Don’t bother coming here.“ |
| 54 /100 Mav’s Taphouse (Restaurant) 108 W EVERGREEN BLVD “Nice little place, with a fairly small interior and a nice little patio. Lots of beer on tap -- about 1/3 of their own, the rest being guest taps. Very cheap flights of 6 ($7.59 included tax). Unfortunately the beer quality was quite poor, with several infections and general low off-notes. Wouldn’t recommend it due to the quality, but it’s good for some cheap ticks.“ |
| 72 /100 2315 MAIN STREET “Located on the heart of Vancouver’s main street, this was a great stop. 7 house beers on tap, mostly of very good quality. $1.50 per 4 oz. pour, making it great value too. Service was also friendly and helpful. One of the better stops in town. Recommended.“ |
| 68 /100 3600 NW 119TH S “In a pretty location of Vancouver, it’s a 10 minute drive or so from the city centre. Fairly expansive, clean, modern and somewhat corporate feel to the place. Lots of house beers on tap, available for order in a sample tray. Reasonably priced and friendly service. Beer is quite good too. Recommended when in Vancouver.“ |
| 64 /100 1109 WASHINGTON STREET “Place looks tacky from the outside and got an unpleasant vibe coming in. 30+ taps, but given that most are their own beer and I haven’t been impressed with their brewing skill. Food was tasty--cheesy tangy mac & queso, generous tacos.Service mixed, but the food came real quick.“ |
| 70 /100 114 E EVERGREEN BLVD “Place could use a little more room but they do the best with what they have. big bright windows help, on the corner. Limited menu of food. Around 8 of their brews on tap. Had and enjoyed both IPAs. Friendly bartender.“ |
| 70 /100 Mav’s Taphouse (Restaurant) 108 W EVERGREEN BLVD “The ’new’ location of By the Bottle - albeit with the bottle shop now closed due to the change in Washington laws.
Small place with a big taplist in a growing part of downtown Vancouver, beerwise. It’s also a bit of a throwback, with the long wooden bar and the swag on the wall, along with some tables and chairs near the windows by the street. A bit of homey charm instead of modern minimalism.
They also have their own brewery, which is decent, with half the tap list also dedicated to guest beers and a vintage or two. (Jack and Ken’s ale from 2010 was nice!) The food here is really quite good, though. (I will have to try the brisket platter next time).
It’s a fun place. Not a must visit, but if you’re trying one of the other places popping up, this is a great stopping point (and the former owners of By the Bottle always deserve our support!)“ |
| 80 /100 1109 WASHINGTON STREET “Rather lively place when we walked in. There was a wait to be seated so we just headed to the bar and found a couple of stools. This is the public house for the brewery so lots of kids floating around and a full menu is available. The kids can be a bit much if you ask me so stick to the bar area. Huge selection of beers on tap with a few guest taps as well which was cool. Large variety of beer and a pretty good menu as well. We got several apps and all of them where delicious. Good combo of beer and food.“ |
| 88 /100 507 COLUMBIA STREET “First place we visited on our brewery tour of downtown Vancouver. I really enjoyed this place. A typical brewery that I am use to on the east coast. It is in more of an industrial park and very sparse on the inside. The front tasting room and bar is rather small but I loved all the local art on the wall, most of which is available for purchase. The selection of beer is not extensive but you can tell they pride themselves on making a quality product….and winning some awards at the same time. If you walk into the back there are a few more benches and some classic arcade games which are nice. You can get rather close to the brewing operations which is nice as well. Along the wall they have about a dozen barrels for aging, not sure what is in there at the moment but I am sure its something good. No food other than light snacks. Real friendly bartender and locals when we visited.“ |
| 84 /100 Growler Rush (Beer Store) 16320 SE CASCADE PARK DR “What a great find this place is. Growler Rush is located entirely within a fairly dinky gas station. Roughly 50 drafts were available with an additional ~30 quality bottles (De Garde, Abyss etc.). All tap offerings were enticing. I struggled to choose something from the likes of Block 15, Boneyard, Great Notion, Deschutes, Alpine etc. I eventually settled on a 32oz pour of Boneyard Hop-A-Wheelie for the fantastic price of $8 all in. Staff were exceedingly friendly and generous with samples. Large pours are available for a fee. Overall, I don’t regret making the detour out here from PDX. Well worth checking out.“ |
| 80 /100 17707 SE MILL PLAIN BLVD. “Visited here on the 26th. Sunday seems to not be a bad time to visit. I’ve heard stories that Saturdays are nuts, but I haven’t confirmed.
First, it’s pretty far out in the city and can be difficult to access, even from 14 to 164th. So if you aren’t in the area, it’s a haul.
The building itself juts out and upward like a Sandcrawler or a lone cliff, and the interior is very airy, with 2 levels on the north and a bar with some decorative brewing equipment on the south side.
Everything else is typically Hopworks. The beer, the food, it’s all the same. Though, they do seem to have more taps here than at the main location.
So, ultimately, if you’re a fan of the brewery, like I am, it’s well worth a visit. Though, given how much bigger the main location is, and the fact that it’s a mile from my house, I prefer it. There isn’t too much difference otherwise.“ |
| 80 /100 2315 MAIN STREET “Visited here with my parents and the kids on 2/12. It’s got a very homey feel to it, with a bar in the middle, more ’family-friendly’ seating close to the door (with a box of games and toys available), and a bar for the adults on the other side of the building. As well 4 oak barrels with beer inside them.
There are also food carts and a patio outside. It was too cold to sit there, but I’m sure it will be a tremendous boon in the summer; great place for drinking in June.
They have about 8 taps on normally as well as one of cider, and I enjoyed the beers. Value was pretty average for the area -- neither too high nor too low.
Service was good, though you do have to go the bar to order. However, I had a brief, but good conversation with the bartender, and this is the kind of place I will come to again.“ |
| 88 /100 2200 NE ANDRESEN ROAD #B “Visited here late on a Tuesday evening in early October ’16. Roomy taproom located in an industrial/warehouse type park. Nice woody decor and a big window with view of the equipment. Have about a dozen or so on tap, plenty of styles to choose from, the IPAs with the freshly harvested hops were outstanding. Great service, friendly, knowledgeable and talkative barkeep. Great place!“ |
