Great Vibe, Tasty Food & Drinks! Visited after a team reunion at UBC (we were a group of 6) and had a great experience. I ordered the Backcountry Cherry Cola Sour and the Crafthouse Cowboy Salad — both were flavorful, especially the beer! The place was a bit busy, and we waited around 5–10 minutes for a table, but that just added to the lively atmosphere. Would definitely return!

This local bar/eatery tucked into a row of restaurants has amazing food at reasonable prices and a fun atmosphere. Whether taking out a l ate night snack or partaking of happy hour it is worth the price. As a visitor staying at UBC the staff was wonderful about making suggestions that matched my taste and hunger level. They also have a rather impressive catalog of craft beers. I was not disappointed.

Great selection of food and craft beer, good place to hang out for a few drinks. The small nachos was enough for us to share between 4-5 people, loved the roast beef sandwich too. Deep fried Mac and cheese was nicely cooked and the tomato sauce helps with the heaviness of the Mac and cheese. Ordered the IPA and loved it - crisp and had a nice aroma. The service was fast and attentive although it was busy at the time of visit.

One of the best places at UBC to hang out! Lovely staff and wonderful vibe. Tried the grilled chicken ramen and it was generously filled, almost couldn’t finish the whole meal. Other friends of mine ordered burgers and they said they were fantastic. Prices aren’t cheap, so it’s a place to go for a celebration once in a while.

I had a great dining experience here. I went here with a friend to catch up and our server Molly H made us feel so welcome. She was very attentive and full of personality. The spicy Korean fried chicken was also delicious. Would definitely come back again, especially if Molly was our server.
