Great beer, great food, great environment. Not a really big list of menu items, but what they have it's really good. Also, the price is not bad at all. It can be a bit loud sometimes, but it's a sport bar, so it's expected. View all feedback.

What Sikstas Sintija dislikes about Back 40:

Our hotel was a block away so we bite here for a late evening on a Saturday night. It was after midnight and they said their kitchen was open until 12:30. So we ordered some beers and their nachos. We seemed to wait a while for the nachos, but when they came out, I was actually impressed with how fresh the chips were and the extra toppings of salsa and acid cream gave us in a bowl on the side. We even refilled this b... View all feedback.

What a wonderful place! It's a shame that it's closing down. We decided to grab some food and drinks here before the Luke Bryan concert at BC Place. We absolutely adored the outdoor patio with its spacious tables. The food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the drinks were superb. Our server was outstanding, and we had a fantastic time overall.

We went early at 11am for lunch and service was super fast and attentive. Nice big patio. Started to fill up after 11:30. Got the fried chicken which is crispy and juicy. I wasn't impressed with the liquid gold gravy but the chicken is great plain or with hot sauce. Bit on the pricey side but normal for downtown. Would go again if in the area but not a special trip.

Good beer and drink specials, great staff! One of the people in our group is vegan and they couldn't really get anything to eat on the menu tmexceot fir a veggie tray since they cook their fries in the same oil as the ribs and wings. But it's a pub, so really what do you expect? It's a good spot for a few drinks.

The beer selection is delicious, but a bit limited. However, the chicken and waffles were fantastic. The dish was well-prepared, sauced perfectly, and absolutely delicious. The service was good and the music was enjoyable. It would be nice if they had a larger variety of beers on tap, but the delicious chicken more than makes up for it.

Our hotel was a block away so we stopped here for a late night bite on a Saturday night. It was after midnight and they said their kitchen was open until 12:30. So we ordered a couple of beers and their nachos. We seemed to wait a while for the nachos but when they came out I was actually impressed by how fresh the chips were and the extra toppings of salsa and sour cream given to us in a bowl on the side. We even had this bowl refilled because we had a lot of chips left to devour. Unfortunately, last call was made before we received our nachos. My boyfriend tried to plea for another beer after finishing our nachos but they wouldn't give him one. Considering there were at least 30 other people still at the bar drinking (including some of the servers), an extra beer wouldn't have hurt.
