What User likes about The Portside Pub:
After a day of exploring Vancouver you must call into The Portside bar to rehydrate yourself. Cool atmosphere and very friendly staff to serve you great food and craft beers. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about The Portside Pub:
As a group of 4 we saw the menu at the front door and liked what we saw. Unfortunately after we ordered drinks we ordered food but they didn't have what was advertised outside, so after the drinks we left. The beer paddle was good and included 4 8oz beers (Red Truck Larger, Blue Buck Pale Ale, Gypsy Tears Amber Ale and Ages of Darkness) and a 6oz Jamison’s (on tap) View all feedback.

Always a great experience, best staff, great beer selection. always a good time.

Not only the personal amazing and accommodating, their music was super! very good to catch up!

Good drinks and great music. Staff are fun, too. Awesome weekend hangout. Recommend arriving early for no cover charge, and no lineup

Sarah and Fraser are your best bartenders. They're the bomb, you should give them a raise

Despite a disappointing menu and subpar food quality, the restaurant excels in offering a wide selection of beers, earning 5-star ratings for their beer menu. The atmosphere is lively, with enthusiastic staff and great live music, making it a favorite for many looking to socialize. While the bouncers outside can be off-putting, once inside, patrons enjoy a fantastic experience with delicious food, excellent service, and a pub-like vibe that caters to both dining and dancing. The venue is praised for its welcoming staff, affordable happy hour prices, and a lively nightlife experience in the heart of Gastown.
