Pros: The atmosphere was fantastic, reminiscent of an authentic American cowboy pub. They offered a fun cowboy line dancing class. There was great entertainment inside the club. The sound system was impressive and clear. Cons: Tickets: Whether you buy an 8 PM ticket online or at the door, the 20% online discount is negated by a $6 service fee, so it’s smarter to purchase tickets at the entrance between 8 PM and 10 PM before it gets busy. Food: The pub doesn’t really serve food, except for a $25 pepperoni pizza that’s not worth it. It appears there’s no active kitchen and food is brought in from elsewhere. Drinks: They have a decent beer selection, but prices are somewhat steep. Overall advice: Arrive around 8 PM to buy your ticket, then head out for dinner nearby. Return anytime after 11 PM to enjoy the pub’s atmosphere and have a great time until 3 AM. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $10–20

From booking to arrival, the staff made everything easy and enjoyable—they even kept me and my friends on the guest list all night! Everyone was incredibly friendly, especially Jude at the coat check and the bouncers, who went above and beyond to make me feel welcome, safe, and celebrated. Their warmth and energy made the evening unforgettable. The atmosphere was fantastic, the music was perfect, and the whole place had the ideal country-party vibe. I’ve never felt happier or more at home in a Vancouver bar. The mechanical bull was a blast, the décor was perfect for photos, and the overall vibe was great. Huge thanks to the Yale Saloon team for making my birthday so special—I can’t wait to return! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: $70–80
