    Chocolate cake and New York cheesecake
    Zahra T.

    First time visiting this restaurant and we loved it. We came for the tail end of happy hour so it wasn't overly busy when we arrived. Our server was wonderful... very friendly and great service. Surprisingly we enjoyed the food as none of us in our group had actually been here before. Definitely a place I'd come back to!

    Brisket Mac & Cheese
    PennyandRusty P.

    Driving through the historic Sapperton area of New Westminster one day, I noticed Sapperton District Taphouse and made a mental note to visit them one day when I had the chance. I like that they have some hightop tables located in the front with the big window as it lets light in. The first dish I ordered here was the Brisket Mac & Cheese ($14). This is an extraordinarily cheesy dish with super tender beer-braised beef brisket. While they use rotini as opposed to macaroni, it does help to pick up some of that cheese. And you'll find yourself getting some of that cheesy pull hitting your chin if you eat like me. On my next visit, I tried their German Schnitzel ($18). I found the schnitzel was a bit dry (perhaps overcooked a bit?) and the martini vermouth sauce was a bit more runnier than I would have preferred (I usually like a creamier sauce with my schnitzel). Aside from that, the meal was pretty good and the fries turned out perfectly crisp. In late November, I came back and ordered the Great Sapper ($16) which is an homage to the area. Kind of like a burger/sandwich hybrid, you get an Angus beef burger with bacon, cheddar and Swiss cheese, garlic aioli, fried onions, lettuce, tomato, and dill pickle all layered between two thick slices of Texas toast. Yes, this was a mess to eat but it was well worth the mess. While I found the burger patty to be a bit dry, it was quite meaty and I liked the crispness of the bacon. The accompaniment of more of their crispy fries completes the meal. On my next visit, I was feeling like having a lighter meal so I picked one of their salads... the Caesarmari Salad ($15) and realized that this is really a big bowl. To be honest, there's not a huge portion of calamari here (which is probably for the best)... more like a small appy size portion of crispy calamari along with the salad portion which was made up of romaine, feta cheese, Caesar dressing and chopped bacon (although I felt the bacon bits seemed a bit too artificial). Aside from the bacon bits, this was a nice, crisp salad but if you're in the mood for a traditional Caesar salad... this isn't it. On my next visit, I wound up ordering the Jambalaya Rice Bowl ($16) just because the original dish I wanted to order wasn't available. Served with 2 skewers of shrimp, I found this jambalaya to be rather spicy (probably from the added Sriracha sauce) with a pleasantly creamy serving of rice, sausage, chicken, peppers, and onions. The shrimp, while originally appearing to be lacking a noticeable char colour to the exterior, actually turned out to be cooked perfectly as they were plump and had a nice snap to the bite. Definitely a filling dish. Overall, the food is pretty good here and service is friendly. I also like they playlist that they have rocking out during the lunch hour.

    Beef dip! So tasty.

    It was build your own pasta night at Sapperton District Taphouse but I opted for the beef dip and house salad. Didn't disappoint! There are 3 bottles of wine that are half price on Mondays. Not too shabby! This is the 2nd time I've been in in as many weeks and they've run out of the Kim Crawford though. Bring in moooore please! The staff is friendly, they have a phone charging station, good music and heaps of beer to choose from. Can't ask for much more!

    ***3.5 stars*** (I really want to give it 4 stars and hopefully the service issues are just growing pains.) The new local in Sapperton does not disappoint, with over 30 BC craft beer taps and decent food, although I have only had a small taste of the large menu. The 16oz pours are such a good price that the word is already getting out judging from the decent turnout on a weekday night. The revamp and modern industrial decor certainly help with the ambience and there is a good sized private room in the back. All that is missing is a foot rail/rest for the bench seats - it would be so much more comfortable than dangling my legs like a 3 year old. We were warned that the schnitzel was a massive portion, and although my dining partner would have had no problem polishing it off, it was indeed a good sized dish, tasty and great value. The Philly cheese steak was not bad but I wasn't expecting an open faced sandwich so it was a bit challenging to eat considering I had to cut it up with bits falling off and then attempt to dip it in the au jus. The fries are a highlight - extra crispy. The service was friendly but lacked in attentiveness. Water wasn't refilled until asked, untouched plates left sitting, empty glasses left on table, opportunities for upselling were missed, no dessert was offered, and we had to flag our server down after what seemed like a long period of inattention to ask for the food to be wrapped up. That being said, this craft beer pub is exactly what this neighbourhood needs and so far it is off to a good start!

    Tasteless Mac n cheese
    Flora L.

    The service here is great! The food not so much :( 3 stars because service is 5/5 but food is 0/5. The mac n cheese is worse than Kraft dinner, it's tasteless. The burger had a soggy bun and the patties wasn't seasoned. The best part of the burger was the tomatoes and pickle, because well, you can't mess that up. Again, our servers were lovely! I would come again for drinks only but definitely not the food.

    This is a nice local pub with a large selection of beers on tap located on the Sapperton area in New Westminster, B.C. They do have happy hours and some good options as well. It is by transit and the skytrain so it's pretty easy to get to if you're in the area. If your in the area, I would recommend checking it out.

    Great place to stop for a snack when riding the skytrain. Quirky little place with a nice vibe,…read moresuper friendly staff and the owner is a pretty cool dude. Great dips, killer fries, delectable poutine sauce A solid choice that has never disappointed

    I was outvoted and dragged here kicking and screaming. Then they promised I could order "The Gaucho…read moreCowboy". Now I'm intrigued. Have to go. This could be the greatest staff in all of Southern BC. Patient, kind, humorous. Not only can they explain the different items and their ingredients, they can describe exactly how it all tastes. To which they are 100% accurate! The six of us played community food, but what's the point here? All the poutine was awesome. Oh well, it's fun to share. Yes, get The Gaucho "Cowboy", but also try the Butter Chicken, Vegetarian Chili and my favourite, the Le Montreal. ALL the poutines rocked! The burgers are juicy and full of flavour. This group has found a way to marry all the flavours so they complement each other all through the meal until the end. Portion size was another crazy, happy surprise. So much so that the cost no longer matters (as you may have guessed, the cost was reasonable). Still, if it's just a couple of you, you might go regular as opposed to jumbo...unless you're thinking late night leftovers. We pigged-out and didn't get a chance to reheat this food. Mistake on my part. 05/25
