Quite a cozy place with awesome beer selections. Food is a bit typical, though not bad. I ve heard many of. Those who work here have been doing so for many years, reflecting a seemingly good owner-worker relationship.
This place has really nice vibes, the staff super friendly even though they were in such a hurry all the time. The quality of the meat was really good. Washrooms are situated downstairs. There are so many beers to try.
Amazing beer selection, great hostess with the mostess, tasty food and a waitress who was as slow as molasses but knew her beer and was cool as funk. Nice seating as we got to watch the trains pass by.It took me 6 years to visit but it was worth it. I love this place. This is bucket list worthy.
I love this place, great atmosphere and selection. The food has always been tremendous and the staff are super helpful. Always make sure to bring out of town guests here for a night out.
Great little craft brew pub with loads of choice (albeit IPA-biased unfortunately) with good grub, including a very popular brunch menu. Staff are friendly and know their stuff.
One of Vancouver s largest selection of beers, especially for local stuff. Staff is always friendly and the interior is quite hipsters and vintage. I absolutely love coming here for brunch, casual dinner, drinks, birthday, and just to unwind.
Great place to go for trying many beers. They have their flight of four, and you can choose from a large selection of beers.
Their appetizers are as well good quality.
The interesting thing about this place is that they have many long tables to be shared with others.
The ambiance is kind of retro and in the back you see trains passing very close to the building.
Great place to try fine beer. Good food. Friendly staff.
Simply incredible place. Staff is amazing and helpful, the beer is beyond fantastic, the food is great and quite extensive for what looks like a typical bar - menus consist of typical bar-dishes aswell as temporary dishes served for a limited amount time. Only negative is that bar gets veeery noisy sometimes.
Little far from the main area of gas town, but the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Kind of smelled a little dank in the basement, but aside from that it was good. Definitely plan on going back again.
Absolutely the best place to try beers in Vancouver
Popular place, good choice of beers. Expect a wait to get in
Great selection and amazing beers with a great atmosphere
One of the best places foe burgers ! However the noise there, since its a big place, is unbearable.
Great selection or rotating beer. Enjoyed being in an atmosphere dedicated to craft beer without any tvs.
Wine and liquor are available for those that do not enjoy beer.
Great beer selection with excellent brunch and good atmosphere
Only been twice, but, always a great tap list. If you want craft beer in Vancouver, you can't go wrong here. I try and stop every time I'm in the city.
They had a bunch of sours on tap when I was there last, which is always a big plus in my books (tap list pictured, "strange fest").
That also offer flights, if you're looking to try a few (and have a few preset ones if you don't want to make too many decisions)
I love this place. Although a little bit hipster-ish, the food is always on point and if you love beer, you'll be in the right place.
Great food, drinks and vibes with a small crowd. Recommend booking ahead of time.
The most amazing choice of beers I have ever seen.
Food is quite good too !
Menu selection is limited, but the food is so good. Beer selection is great. 10/10 would recommend.
This place has an extensive beer list and decent food to snack on. It was great hanging out here on a warm summer's day for a few hours for a few drinks. If you're looking for a place in Gastown to try a few different beers, this is definitely the spot for you to check out.
Come here if you love beer! Huge selection of craft beer and cool vibe. Food is decent as well. Awesome place to unwind after work
Always good. They move people in at a fast wait. So the wait is never thst long
However I got the charcuterie board and the mustard tasted like it's been in a plastic container for awhile.
What a neat find! Love the basement bar and the menu style made it so easy to navigate the expansive, delicious beer selection.
Tucked away in Railtown, this is great craft beer eatery that features many of best local breweries. Excellent selection of rotating beers and really good food to boot. Owned by Brassneck brewery.
Best bar in Vancouver. Hands down. Wait is sometimes outlandish but I love the selection of beers on tap.
The Alibi Room is located in a red brick historic building. It is after 2:00 pm and the cacophony of diners offers a lively buzz to the shaker style atmosphere. We are offered immediate seating at the bar (tables are full).
Natasha (totally dedicated) explains the choices of local draft beer. Atmosphere is unique. We sip libations as a Red Union Pacific train passes out the window in front of us. Fresh fruit and "The Salmon Benny" are ordered with a draft beer. No beer for me.
"Alibi Room" offers good cuisine, service and awesome music "Abba's Dancing Queen" enlightens. I returned this year and it was different given my improved health. I was smiling as I returned to the sunny west side and thought danke aber nein.
Great selection of beers. Staff is super friendly. Fantastic place to spend your evening
Amazing beer selection - very limited but tasty food options
It took me 10 years to figure out that it might be the "Alibi" Room because it is so close to the courthouse. I am an idiot.
Great cocktail and food, but the beers were not for the rest of my group. Still recommend going for a drink and burger, but make sure to try the beers first.
This is one of my favorite bars in Vancouver. Fantastic beer and food, excellent service, pleasant atmosphere.
Great selection of beers from all over, friendly service, and some of the best wings I've ever had. Also, the burger is something else!
It's a great place to brew Tasting of different flavors!
This place is a must visit, I was in Vancouver for 4 days and went here 3 times. Amazing selection of beers
Good beer but the music was too loud and the burgers were not that good
Place is great! Not open till five weekdays. Be warned
This place has a good atmosphere with a great selection of beers. I'll definitely go back. I want to take my father there next time.
As a single diner, I sat at the bar. Had great conversation with the staff and other customers. The beer selection is fantastic and the food was exceptional. Great place for beer pairing and taste exploration.
Huge beer selection but the food is also fantastic.
Stylish, great place to bring guests, warm cozy areas and open as well
Really great service and delicious food! I will come back for more!
First time here and I really enjoyed it! I ordered flight of beer ($12+tax) and pork belly sandwich ($14+tax). Friends ordered sweet garlic chili fries ($6+tax). Pan roasted lois lake steelhead ($20+tax) and Flatiron steak ($22+tax). Heard the wings were good, so I'll go back for those!
The best place to drink beer in Vancouver, and possibly in Western Canada. It has a large, constantly-rotating beer menu, including a good balance of styles and lots of limited releases, rare and sought-after beers, worthwhile imports. Get a bat of four tiny beers. There's table service at long, communal tables upstairs, but I like to sit at the bar or (when it's open) to go downstairs for more casual bar-only service. There's cider, wine, and good cocktails for anyone who's not into beer. The menu is concise, with options ranging from a bowl of olives up to full entrees, and everything I've had has been tasty.
Expect a wait if you're going later than 7 or so on a weekend. There's a small (unserved) waiting area or you can leave a phone number and they'll text you when a table opens.
One of my fave places in Vancouver, amazing beer selection and one of the best burgers in the city
Great atmosphere and building. Huge selection of beers and interesting rotating food menu.
Great food, great beer! Had to wait a bit to get a table for 6 but that's reasonable for Saturday night!
I love this place. Friendly environment and feels like I've gone back to the Viking time in a modern way. The exposed ceilings with antique cool decor, dim lights and cool crowd but to mention the great food and beer.
This place has a friendly staff, a good beer selection and a unique atmosphere.
Not a big fan of the food, mainly the Entres. Its a pretty limited option. But its a good place to hangout with ample room for good group of friends and spacious seating on the benches. Pretty decent selection of beers and ciders on tap, except the selection is also made available as the night progresses based on how they have been setup.
I'd visit again, to have a conversation over some beers, but not if i needed to satiate my hunger. :P
Love the beer selection, the only place in Van that always had Storms Imperial Flanders Red Sour Ale on tap all the time. Great food too.
Great selection of beer; and a wide variety of food on the menu. It has a long stand up bar or seating indoors and out when weather permits. It feels like an old bar and has a great feeling to it.
Really good beers and nice place to spend an evening!!
Top 3 places I've been for a great selection of craft beer. Good food menu, but they only serve food at certain hours.
Craft beer mecca in Vancouver, ever changing taplists and amazingly great curated taps.
My absolute favorite bar in town. Amazing beer selection from a great group of people as well as an outstanding food menu. Try something from the fresh sheet, always worth it! Sit downstairs for a low key vibe.
Amazing food. Excellent service and friendly atmosphere.
My favourite bar in downtown Vancouver. The environment is comfortable and welcoming. Friendly knowledgeable staff and good crowd. Downstairs area always reminds me of the tavarn scene from Inglourious Bastards.
Amazing selection of beers and a great marking system to let you know how sour, hoppy, or dark they are. I'm a lover of sours so when I saw I had a choice of 9 I was pretty excited
What a great establishment. The staff was amazing and not snooty at all. What a difference compared to Strathcona Brewery. Such a fun laid back non pompous night out. Highly recommend this bar.
Tons of great beer, fries were amazing. Gotta try the chicken burger next time
Great beer list and good food. Gets super busy so reserve 48 hours in advance if possible. Otherwise they preference walk-ins for bookings. Put your name down and go somewhere else for a beer then come back!
Cool place with a great local beer selection. The hamburger is also delicious.
Even if beer isn't your thing, the Alibi Room has a nice wine list and some cracking cocktails too. The food menu is varied with something for everyone. We had a mezze share plate, a chicken salad and a pork belly sandwich. All the food was fresh, delicious and reasonably priced - but the pork belly sandwich was a standout. This place is popular and it's easy to see why, good beer, good food and awesome service.
Beer snob central! Or beer snob east/commercial is more like it. I like the place, although have trouble getting in. Proceed accordingly
Great craft beer selection is the reason you come. Food is tasty and is above average for pub grub.
If you like craft beer, this is the place to come. They've got an exceptionally long list of different beers to try. If you can't decide on one, you can always get a flight of different beers to sample. The food is really good too.
Awesome beer selection with knowledgeable staff and good prices (food included). The place is pretty popular and can get crowded, but it's definetly worth a stop if you want to taste a big selection of the local beer!
Great bar, good service and fantastic selection of craft beers. Good times to be had here.
