I went here the other night for a team dinner. The restaurant is located right on the water so it has beautiful views and was quaint with wood floors. They had a lot of beers on tap but I went for a sweet cider and it was delicious. For dinner I ordered the Cajun chicken which came with a side of mashed potatoes and roasted kale. The chicken was tender and came with a Cajun butter that added flavor and moisture. The mashed potatoes were especially tasty and the roasted kale was crisp, yet a little oil logged. Our waiter did a fantastic job of keeping our waters and drinks filled. We were here for several hours but had a great time and never felt like we were pushed out the door. read more

Great place, great atmosphere, lovely views! The service was really nice. I had the raspberry Moscow mule (so refreshing and tasty!), queso dip and pork carnitas tacos. Everything was delicious! We still had some queso dip left so I requested some more chips but unfortunately I wasn't warned that it was extra $. I believe it was only an extra $1-2 but was still surpised when I noticed it on the bill. Definitely recommend read more

OMG so loud downstairs ... it's terrible for conversations at a party. My strawberry lemonade with the basil was interesting. Not sure that I'd have it again. Bartenders are very nice though! I saw chips with guacamole, chicken sliders, two veggie platters and tacos for food. They looked okay. I'd eaten beforehand at Tre Viet down the street so wasn't really there for dinner. I could see myself coming back for the quieter upstairs to have dinner with less culinary adventurous friends though. read more

Food was pretty good. Happened to go right before happy hour. Got the chicken ramen bowl, some Tacos, and the kids cheeseburger! All of us enjoyed our dishes! Great atmosphere and quick and friendly service. read more

The location of this CRAFT Beer Market cannot be beat. No matter where you are seated in the restaurant, you have a world-class view of English Bay. My group was sat on the "patio" which is conveniently placed on the second floor of the building with large open air windows overlooking the beach, and bay. One of the nicest things about the patio is that it has a roof, so it's possible to enjoy the fresh air without getting a sunburn. Our server was polite, cheery and returned to our table at great pace. She made recommendations to help us sort through the massive beer list, and also understood the menu well enough to comment on all of the food items available. The food itself has improved a lot from what I previously remember being available at CRAFT in Olympic Village. The Tuna Poke was fresh and crisp-tasting and the beers were ice cold and served quickly. I'd recommend this place as a post-beach spot with friends, or also to kickstart a night on the town.

This place was super busy when we came here on Sunday evening. We managed to get a table without waiting long. There are many types of beer and ale on tap. My friends had that while I had a ginger beer which is refillable. Awesome! We shared the nachos which was served on this huge barrel. It took up most of the table space. It tasted great. Service was good too. If you get a table by the window, you get a view of English bay. read more

What a delicious surprise! We were in town for a week and tried our best to stay out of the rain, but couldn't keep too far away from the bay. A perfect way to enjoy the view, but keep dry was by going in to CRAFT! We went not only once, but twice! Everything was delicious and our server was so incredible. She didn't even judge us when we were sat in her section two days in a row. While I did not manage to snag photos of all drinks and food we tried -- take my word for it -- everything was delicious. Appetizers? Big enough to eat as a meal. Drinks? They ask if you want to double up on the number of shots every time you order. Meals? Big enough to share if you can't stop yourself from ordering 2-3 appetizers like we did. No misses! read more

Went to watch football on Sunday, great atmosphere, great food and our server Shannon was awesome

There are 100 beers on tap, which in most cases is enough to get 5 stars from me. Our server encouraged us to taste and brought samples quickly. We asked for one cocktail to be remade and it was taken care of no problem. We got the fried pickle and cauliflower appetizers, which were both perfect to go along with our drinks. Need to know: While sitting outside is nice for the view, there is no sun protection for the tables on the balcony. Might be better to sit inside. read more

The food was delicious, we had the Ahi Poke Bowl and Bacon Mac and Cheese. I also had a lime margarita and my boyfriend had a beer, both great! The poke was really good, it was a big portion, almost couldn't finish it all. The only thing is, it had a bit too much rice, but the flavors were good which made up for it. The view from the patio was stunning, so try to grab a seat there if you can. One thing worth mentioning is their excellent allergy protocol. They assured me that there were no peanuts in the kitchen, which was a relief! The only downside was the price. One drink and one entree each, the bill came close to $100 after tax and tip. It's on the pricey side, so keep that in mind, but you are really paying for the neighborhood and that ocean view! read more

Wow! Not sure what the bad reviews are all about....we went last evening and had the most amazing time on their patio! We put ourselves on their waitlist and we're hanging out on the beach. Missed going when our table was ready. Went after 30 minutes and they they graciously put us at the top of the waitlist and got us seated right away at the best table with a view of the beach! Our waitress was super sweet, brought out beer samples to try and kept refilling the kids' ginger beer. Felt like we were on a beach vacation. We started with a sangria and a wheat ale. Sangria was delicious and strong. Loved it. We also got the dynamite cauliflower, parmesan fries and the kale Margherita pizza. Next round of drinks was the coconut mojito and a delicious pilsner. The food was so so good! Cauliflower was spicy, the way we like it. The drinks were fantastic and the pizza was amazing! This should be you next stop if you are in the area or visiting Vancouver! read more

I have now been to Craft on Beach twice, once on the patio once at the bar. I was really excited for this place to open, for obvious reasons -- craft beer, duh. Has it lived up to the hype? Service 3/5 -- They do a pretty good job here. It seems to be a positive environment to work in, and I think that helps to bolster team mentality (I say this based off of observation as I sit at the bar.) There does seem to be a certain lack of expertise, or confidence in the servers and bartenders I've met, and wait times for service can be a little excessive, even when they aren't that busy. An example would be that the bartender asked me if I'd like another beer a few moments after I finished, but I was nursing the bottom of the glass for quite some time. It was kinda busy--not really. I won't dock excess points for that, but efficiency is something they'll have to work on with service staff. Waiting to pay was excessive. I sat with empty beer and cafeteria tray in front of me for quite some time -- not how I'd normally want to spend my rare free time. On the first visit it was the same thing. What the heck?! Waited a good twenty minutes for the bill. Atmosphere 5/5 -- I worked in the building when it was still Boathouse, and I have to say what Craft did with the space is quite awesome, and amazing. The wood and steel industrial interior really lends to the whole warehouse vibe. The patio is also awesome, but I'll be avoiding it as I burn like a lobster. Washrooms are a good place to take a sploosh-kaboom; comfortable, clean, and dark enough to make me look hot in a mirror. Just kidding, I always look hot. #modesty Cleanliness 5/5 -- Pretty rare perfect rating on cleanliness here. They must have good support here because even the hard to reach spots on the bar didn't have rings from old glassware. Food 3/5 -- Plant based life. Not a lot of options. I got the Impossible Burger with half fries half salad. Glad that the portions aren't huge, because I was kinda anticipating the regular overindulgent Vancouver hamburger that's 1500 calories. It was actually a respectable size though! That's pretty exciting! The price however is through the roof. NINETEEN DOLLARS for the burger. I understand that prices have gone up everywhere, but CRAFT was never about the food, and it has always had foodporn prices. Aside from the portion size and price the food was alright, but not worth breaking the bank for. Overall 4/5 -- This can all be broken broken into one basic thing that most of us already know. Come for the beer, not the food. read more

Tried the craft market again and ordered different food items this time as the pizza is too grim. Ordered the tuna ahi bowl-- ingredients were there but the presentation was disgusting. They obviously put it in a big bowl, stirring it up and then laid an oval egg on the dish. Lordy. So much they could do to make it better. Put it in a ring form and garnish it on top to look like a presentable tuna cake. Lay out the ingredients in an appealing array. Anything would be better Here are some pics to help you improve the lacking presentation. read more

Stumbled in here during one of my weekend strolls of the sea wall, and haven't wanted to leave since. Literally. Drink specials are great, $6 mimosas, sure. The food is reasonably priced, and large portions. But the team brings it all up a million notches. Morgan, Calli (sp?), Elinet (sp?) Justice, Ameron, Andrea, Sarah and Sam come to mind. But there are many more. Apologies on forgetting names, but they are all awesome. Highly recommended. read more

M'lady and I were hungry af so we called an uber and rolled over to CRAFT Beer Market in English Bay. Didn't get any liquor this time so we were able to fully taste our meal, and let me tell you the Parmesan Fries slap. The AC Burger also hits diffy. Bad day to be a Sprite because I also crushed about 4 of those on accident. The views at this place are an absolute vibe and lowkey might be a core memory. Would give it 5 stars but I was too sober. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink and snack. High priced place for sure. Seating is wide open now, nicer than the way the had it before when we sat in stalls like cattle and oddly enough many people think that actually stops a virus lmao but anyways the fish tacos aren't good.

I come here more than I would like to admit. They have an amazing selection of beers and it's great for groups or if you want to sit alone at the bar (yes quite a few people come alone here). On saturdays they have a DJ that comes and it can get pretty loud but the rest of the week is a great place to come for a date or hang out with your friends. I am not a huge fan of their food, smaller portions and very salty ( everything I have tried so far at least). I would get their nachos though, MASSIVE and very tasty. read more

This is Beer having for people like me that love to enjoy a good brew on a sunny day. They have so many options that it's hard to choose. Many good European beers as well as the good locals. I recommend getting flights to sample each one of their good beers, their flight menu rotates as well. The food is pretty decent, nothing exceptional but still good, I mostly come here for beer. I recommend the AC burger with beer salt fries, I did try the chicken sliders but they weren't my favorite. I would still rate this place 5* because of the amazing location and their great tap menu! read more

I love the vibe of this place. I was in the area for a walk with a friend and then we stopped by for dinner, just missed the happy hour but it's fine. We had deep fried pickles, arugula margarita pizza and a cheddar cheese burger. I enjoyed the pickles and pizza but I find the food too salty over all (hence the 3 star). They pre-cut the burger for us to share so I appreciate that. If you're looking for a "fruity" beer without too much hop summer wheat beer is great. I don't like beer that are too hoppy (don't judge!). The atmosphere wasn't too quiet that you feel awkward to speak bad it wasn't too loud that you had to yell over your food. It's what you can expect at a place like this. I may come back again. read more

Come to this place for the views and vibes! Absolutely beautiful view from the patio. Came here with my bf for dinner on a sunny day and it was great! This is the perfect spot for drinks and apps.

Food is kinda average but still good enough, and the views are unbeatable! read more

Sending lots of love and gratitude to all the wonderful folks who worked last night at the Beach Ave location! My friends and I (4 fun folks in their 50's) ended up at Craft last night after a horrible experience that is the Cactus Club Cafe across the street, left us with no option than to leave and find a better place for a celebratory birthday drink. We could not have asked for a more welcoming and amazing place to end our night. Big thanks to our server, Kelly, who was fast, efficient and funny, you really made our night! Recommending CRAFT for all the things, they're pretty great read more

This was my first time visiting this location, and honestly have no complaints about the experience and food and drinks. I am writing this review strictly to say how amazing Riley, your night manager is! I've worked in the industry for 10+ years now and don't normally see FOH management being this engaging with tables and hardworking around the whole restaurant, all with a smile on her face! She had such a fantastic attitude and made our visit so amazing. Thanks again Riley, and cannot wait to come back and visit again :) read more

I got a drink with a friend a few weeks back and it was a good experience. We sat outside upstairs on the patio and it was warm with the heaters and even though it's winter it was quite comfortable. We were there for happy hour and had a few small things that were fine. I appreciated Granville winter ale as I had forgotten about it. Happy hour discounts made some things more affordable. I guess it's the new reality now that even a classic burger is almost 20. Not an inexpensive place. Serving staff was attentive and though we did roll our eyes a little at the bubbliness of the hostess, why not have some positive energy these days. Certainly better than the reverse. read more

I had the great pleasure of dining this evening at your fine establishment and sampled a few of your tasty brews. So glad you have a hip and styling spot downtown now. But, I digress, the reason for this review is not because of all these great things in your favour ... this review is about fantastic service experienced. I was ever so lucky to have Jaclyn as my server this fine evening. Immediately after seating, I somehow tossed my glasses so that they fell behind the banquet in your upstairs patio section. My quick survey of the situation made me initially think that they were lost at least until your first renovation.  But this is where Jaclyn's adeptness quickly showed its prowess. She orchestrated a cooperative solution between our table and our neighbours without ever breaking a single COVID protocol and within minutes [after some Circle de Soleil manoeuvring on the part of my table neighbour that involved an umbrella - hard actually to explain really] only to have my glasses returned to me... Voilà .. like magic. If that wasn't enough, she proceeded to recommend and offer great samples of your delicious brews, all the while with the warmest of smiles, quick wit and the most friendly and courteous service all through our visit.  She is most golden! If you have the technology, you should clone her... Needless to say - I was most impressed - by all that was delivered. Kudos to you and your team -  I will definitely be back. read more
