Whenever I am visiting Vancouver, I make an effort to come to Granville Island and always stop by for a beer or two here. I generally eat at other places, but enjoy the cold beers served here. On my last visit, the place was packed, but we managed to find a table and were quickly served some cold beer by a friendly server. The beers were cold and fresh, as usual here. The place was buzzing with people on a hot afternoon, and everyone seems to enjoy the cooler temperatures inside, but the outside tables were packed as well. I usually have a couple of different brews,a nd this visit was no different. I love the fact that they will bring you tasters to help you decide. I love this place and look forward to coming back! read more

Cute spot! They offer flights, half pours, and full pours. We also had the pretzel that was pretty tasty. Definitely a spot to check out when in the area. read more

I love stopping by Granville Island Brewing! Both the indoor and outdoor spaces are large and can accommodate a lot of visitors. The service is friendly and quick. I like that there is always a new selection of beets to try. On this visit, I chose a blackberry sour beer. It was fruity and refreshing! read more

Nice ambiance and I appreciate the service, which was good. When we tried to enter, a large group was blocking the door and refused to move, which was odd, but eventually when we tracked down a server, she was very sweet and transparent about a large group they were getting in half the restaurant and the time we could have the table. The beers were just ok- both the lagers tasted similar. Good time for a brewery on Granville island. read more

Holy this place is popular! It was absolutely Jan packed and I was shocked they managed to find a little two seater for us to sit at. The crowd made it very loud. We tried their 'full map' which was ten tasters of their beers. We tried to order one each, not realizing how large it would be and that it had to be shared and the server was actually quite rude about it. We did enjoy the beer once we got it though. read more

Great experience here. We just loved the beers. My favorite was the winter ale and my boyfriend liked the juice box hazy and the guava hazy. I don't normally like hazies and even I liked the guava. The brewery is modern and industrial in decor. Great location - practically the first thing we saw after walking under the Granville island sign. This is a great stop with good service. read more

This place is a tourist trap. The beers are okay, and I appreciate the flight, so you can sample a few different offerings of their beers. I thought their NE IPA style wasn't as flavorful as your traditional NE IPA beers. The lagers were solid though with a nice bready/cereal note. It gets busy and loud here. read more

Granville Island Brewing - beer flight - Breweries Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Granville Island is a unique brewery with refreshing beer from all over BC. There is indoor and outdoor seating with options for a pint or a flight. I shared a flight and a pint with my husband and sister in law. My favorites were the raspberry ale and maize blonde. Both were light and super refreshing. I also loved the beer cards available for each taster. Service was great and you can purchase food and snacks. Highly recommend going after 6pm for $6 pints! read more

After a full day of sightseeing, we popped in for a beer and a bite. We sat at the bar and Daryll getting us. This gal knows her beer! We had a wonderful time getting to know her as we drank great beers and ate a pizza. She truly made the visit here memorable. We plan to come back again before we finish our trip to Vancouver. read more

Had a bit of time, so stopped by around happy hour. They have their standard beers and their experimental ones. Lots of fun flavours to try on their experimental menu that is harder to source from the big box stores. Would recommend getting a beer or two as opposed to a flight during happy hour as there are no happy hour deals for flights. Service was a bit slow, but they got you your beers and left you alone, so can't complain too much. read more

Super cute brewery at Granville Island. We came here with the family to try some local brews. We also had some appetizers House made focaccia and roasted cauliflower. Both were delicious. The spicy spread for the focaccia was delicious. And the roasted cauliflower was so good. My boyfriend had a margarita which I tasted, and it was strong and good. I tried the flight. And all the beers were so good. My favorite was the peach sour and I'm not even a sour beer drinker but all the beers were so good. Highly recommend and definitely would come back here. read more

A great patio to enjoy on a sunny afternoon. Fish and chips were great! Perfect to share as a "snack." 15+ beer options. I would have loved a cider but hard lemonade was very refreshing. Service was attentive but not overbearing. read more

We were lucky to have a fantastic server who was personable and knowledgeable. I ordered a Mexican-style lager and my mom had an island lager, both were delicious! We also shared a Caprese pizza fresh out of the oven, and honestly, it was one of the best pizzas I've ever had. We loved it so much we wanted to stay all day! Such a great experience from start to finish, definitely a spot we'll be coming back to. read more

I love craft beer so when we were visiting Vancouver's Granville Island, this place called to me for lunch. I love hazy IPAs so I did a sampling of all IPAs, 2 of which were hazy. They were all delicious as was the BLT with fries. My hubs and I both had the BLT. Service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was also welcoming to all. There were families and groups of younger people, groups of middle aged folks etc. I would highly recommend stopping in for a flight or a pint! read more

I have been wanting to go here for so long so while I'm. An oh we I finally decided to! They only have one table in the whole pub that is low for kids and they so t have high chairs so I would not recommend coming here with children that require high chairs. The service was not great either. Food was okay though. read more

I've been here a couple of times and each time I leave with feelings of...meh. The location is good and it's nice that there's a brewery on the island, but as someone who has visited many of the Vancouver area's breweries, this one is not in the top. It's a place to go for a beer, but if you are a beer connoisseur, just know what to expect. They also offer food but I've never had anything off the menu. Their flights are cool in that they have cards with info about each beer instead of just the cheesy pieces of paper with names you usually get, so I I'll give them props for that! read more

Decided to try the flight (Cypress Honey Lager, Island Lager, English Bay Ale, False Creek Raspberry Ale) because there were too many good choices to choose from. The raspberry ale was my favorite. If you're here for the season of this ale, give it a try! read more

Had this bookmarked on Yelp and we wanted to check this Brewery out. Well it's everything expected from great tasting beer! You can take a tour, go to the connecting store to make some purchase. We ordered beer and food: -Winter Ale 10/10 -Cauliflower bites 10/10 -Chops and Guac 10/10 Had a great experience well worth our stop to check this place out!! read more

Great spot on Granville Island. We came mid week so didn't get the brewery tour but I've seen a brewery before so I'll recover~ For the beer... we each did a flight for tasting so we covered a lot of beer ground and found the terrain to be varied and worth the trip! Favorite ~~ Lions Winter Ale - distinctive, pleasant and good. Also the English Bay Ale. Nice place to relax, especially if you've been tromping around Vancouver and need a break. read more

We came here for lunch and had an amazing service experience. My husband was so excited to try some of the beers and totally bonded with our server who was just as passionate about the different beers as he was. We also got a couple of food items to share -- the foccaccia bread and the poutine. The poutine was a particular favorite but I think the beer is really where it's at here (unsurprisingly). Would definitely come back for a drink if we're in town again! read more

A MUST STOP ON GRANVILLE island! I bookmarked this on yelp and had to check it out on my recent trip to Vancouver. The brewery is very nicely setup. You can take tour as well. The server was nicer to let me order the testing before ordering the pint. I went with Lion winter ale and Juice box Hazy IPA and both were outstanding beers. The cauliflower bites and Guac were great vegetarian options to pair the beer with. I would highly recommend this place read more

i wanted to love granville island brewing because of the very cute interior and the trendy branding. the beers were good, but in my opinion the food fell flat. the poutine was very mediocre, and i feel that it's not that hard to do poutine decently. the hipa hipa (pork belly, pineapple) flatbread was barely okay. if you're just coming for beers, i would recommend. however, based on the food we ordered, i can't recommend coming here for food. the inside is cute and bright, and service is standard (maybe a bit on the slow side). i might give it another chance next time! read more

Service was good and it was a fun place to hang out. We were seated in the overflow section, between the main dining area and the gift shop, which was actually perfect for us. The main dining area had a really strong fermented beer smell and it was super crowded (provided that it was a rainy wet day and this was one of the few places of warm dry indoor seating). We for four flights of beer, and a poutine. They don't have any cider here but their mango beer was very close to one. Service was friendly, as it is everywhere in Canada in my experience, and beer was reasonably priced. Poutine was not bad. read more

Granville Island Brewing is apparently the first microbrewery in Canada. Ended up getting a full flight map of their beers while visiting the market on Granville Island. The staff checked our vaccination cards and we were soon seated. We ordered the full flight map of all the beers they had available, along with some water. We got the beer pretty quick, but despite several reminders and requests, we never got the water. Beer was mostly OK, but none of the ones I tried were particularly memorable. read more

Had a wonderful experience here! Got to the brewery just at the right time since we were able to get a seat right when a table left. It was an outdoor table too which was exactly what we wanted since the day was nice and sunny. The staff was quite friendly and very helpful. We were going to just order 2 flights, but then we were suggested to order the Full Map option instead since the flights varied quite a bit. It was more worth it too, price-wise. We got an order of poutine as well, but had to wait for the gravy to be made since they ran out of that. The 30 minute wait was not a problem since we would be taking our time drinking the beers. The poutine definitely hit the spot after getting a bit buzzed from the beer. Very good combination by the way. Everything was pretty enjoyable. We did have to share our table a couple times since it was just 2 of us on a long bench table. Wasn't a big deal for us, but just letting everyone know in case you want more privacy. I would be down to do this again. read more

Who doesn't love a local brewery!? Stopped by after grabbing lunch at Granville so I didn't get to check out the food but the tasting flights are the way to go. How they present the flight is so beautiful with all of the colors! During our visit they had dividers between tables even at bar seating so you get a little bit of privacy/separation for other groups. As you exit be sure to walk through the other room to grab some souvenirs and packs to go. Had to take a pack of the sours since we didn't get to try them out and enjoyed them. read more

The service is fast and the food is amazing. The waiters are kind. Would recommend to everyone!

Fun stop if you're around Granville Island. The tasting flights are a great way to try their different brews, and the atmosphere is lively but still relaxed enough to enjoy. Staff are knowledgeable and happy to recommend beers. It's not the cheapest pint in town, but worth it for the location and vibe. read more

Since we are in Granville Island, why not have some beer. We came to Granville Island Brewery for drinks and food. I ordered the bacon chedder burger and B got the Chicken burger. He said the chicken burger was super tasty. The chicken was fried to perfection and was super moist. They were quite generous in the sauce. He loved the bun that it was on. It was nice and had a nice crispy taste to it. For my bacon chedder burger, it was not the same. I ate half my burger and gave the rest to B. So I found the meat very dry but it was overpowered by lots of seasoning. There was not enough sauce and the chedder was hard to taste its existence. That is probably because the seasoning in the paddy over powered everything. I agreed with B that the bun was really tasty. I liked the fries that came with it. It was somewhat over seasoned as well. Overall, the food was ok. I would say the food would be like 3 stars. Also on top, we waited a while for the food to come. I mean it seemed longer than if we ordered at a restaurant than at a craft brewery. But the rating I am giving this place is more for its beer and not for its food. Food is just a side business for this craft brewery. The beer had here is not the same as if we got it at the liquor store or to go. It seems to taste better at the brewery. Not sure why. We ordered the winter ale here. This is a seasonal drink. Seems like it is around longer and longer each year. Also on our way, we got a case to go. read more

We came about 10 minutes before opening and there was already a lineup and the place was quickly filled within 15-20 minutes of opening (this was on the weekend). Given that it is on Granville Island, there are quite a few tourists and the prices reflect this. The beers were not bad and there was a good variety. I got the poutine and R got the BCO burger. It went well with the beers but nothing that was out of the ordinary. If looking for a food option on Granville Island, this would be a decent spot for drinks and food. read more

It's not the best place for beers or food but convenient for large groups of people to hang out and grab a bite. We had a large group so had to be separated since there isn't that much large party seating. The hostess was accommodating and just asked that we not go between the two tables which was fine. We got a round of flights and the mushroom burger (overly salty) with poutine. Overall good hang-out atmosphere which is what you come for. read more

Decent brewery in Granville Island, as the name suggests, with a system of ordering as many or as little variety of beer as you want in different sizes! We decided to do all the beer options in tiny cups just for the variety. This was $26 CAD if I recall, which is a lot of alcohol because it was roughly 50 ounces at least. We shared it amongst the 3 of us and there were many good beers including IPAs, stouts, etc but also a few misses, which is expected when we try majority of the offerings in this place. This place was fairly busy and a bit touristy, a bit loud but the ambience matches that of a standard brewery. It is a nice place to check out to take some pics regardless. read more

A really lively environment with really friendly waitstaff. Since there were three of us, we decided to do the full map, giving us a flight size pour for every beer on their menu. Our map contained 5 of their menu staples (top half of the pic), and 5 of their rotating taproom series (bottom half of pic). My personal favorites were the island lager and peach sour. Would definitely recommend coming here to take a break after walking around Grandville and shopping. read more

Food is on the sweat side for my tastes. Not at all bad though. Beer was OK. Few places that I have seen suckling pig sandwiches

Did I find my favorite beer in Canada? I think I did! If you are in Vancouver and looking for a brewery spot then make a stop here. They offer a beer map which contains a total of ten beers for you to try from. My favorite was winter ale that I bought a case to bring back into the states. They also amazing food for you to pair with. Service was great & made sure that we have everything that we needed. Nice place to rest, eat and enjoy after a long day of touring the city. read more

Arrived 5 minutes after opening on a Sunday and the place was packed. I don't know if they actually opened earlier or what but at least they had a table! The service was good for the most part and it does get a little loud inside. I'm not a beer drinker so I was happy to find they had a few wines on the menu. My husband loved the drinks he ordered. And my daughter loved that they had a Pringle's vending machine. We didn't order any food since we were stuffed from the market but the food did look very enticing. Next time I will come hungry. The place had small tables and long tables and high seating. They also had a little gift shop but it didn't have a whole lot. It wasn't too hard to find, it's actually located right in front of the children's market. read more
