This adorable eatery is on a corner in a very trendy spot in gas town. The outdoor seating is really special because you get to people watch and it's on a very quiet end of a corner street. We had great service, and our drinks were delicious. I highly recommend that you order the Paloma. It was perfectly made without being too strong or too sweet. For appetizer, we ordered one of the fried chickens and one calamari. Both were tasty but the chicken wings were big time in my book and I would definitely order it again! If you d... read more

We stopped at this restaurant after doing a free walking tour. Our party of 7 - 4 adults and 3 preteens were sat immediately outside. Most of our group are pescatarian and sometimes struggle with finding a meal where we can all eat. We had two Harvest Salads with the ahi tuna - seared perfectly, my husband ordered the Thai chicken salad with ahi instead of chicken and loved it. My son ordered a tuna poke bowl that was delicious and our group also ordered the fish tacos and the chicken sandwich. All were delicious! Would def... read more

Delicious food, nice outdoor seating, and friendly staff. My girlfriend and I are from out of town (Seattle) so we were nervous on picking a place that we wouldn't regret choosing during our limited time in Vancouver and coming here turned out to be one of our favorite destinations! I got the ramen and my gf got the vegetarian burger and both of us found it pretty darn good. I would love to come back to try some other food but so far so good! If you're from out of town, hang around gastown and come here during the eveni... read more

The hop on hop off trolley driver recommended this eclectic spot. Outdoor seating added to our afternoon experience on this sunny beautiful day! I had the beef tacos. This was plenty for me. Honey hold had tuna sandwich and hubby had the ramen noodles. Everyone raved about the collection of tastes and quality of the food. Service was very good as well. If you're wondering where to hop off the trolley for lunch--this is the place. Atmosphere in this busy section of the street makes for great people watching. Wonderful washro... read more

Really enjoyed this place. It captures Gastown well with its ambiance, energy, location, and menu. We enjoyed the calamari, the crispy chicken sandwich, and house burger. Their craft beer was amazing. Everything was ideal for those looking for the old Vancouver vibe.

My friends and I ate here the night before the 2019 BMO half marathon. I had the Diablo burger. It was very flavorful and surprisingly not spicy, even with all of those jalapenos. One friend had a curry dish and the other friend also had a burger. All meals were enjoyed. We enjoyed each others company, but we did not enjoy the very loud 'bro' (big muscles, tight tees, backwards caps, etc) crowd that was surrounding us. We got to sit inside but near an open space, so we were able to enjoy the fresh air. That was a plus. Over... read more

A friend and I came here last Saturday night, I had not been here since it was Chill Winston. Totally. Freaking. Packed. But, it was Saturday night at 9 pm, and a nice warm evening outside too. The outside street front patio is massive and packed every time I've walked by here. My friend and I opted for a table inside, near the bar~ and had a look through the bar and food menus. The Local has a great menu, decent daily specials, and your standard handheld burgers, casual plates, and the like on offer. We chose the nachos, ... read more
