Bad food. Good drinks and atmosphere. I've been here a few times, the most recent being for lunch, and I think I've finally decided to stop ordering food here. It's just not very good. Even something as basic as french fries come out overcooked, soggy, limp, and tasteless. The main dishes that go with it are not much better. The location is pretty, with lots of natural light through its abundant windows, and the service is decent, particularly one of the female bartenders (I don't know her name, and the male bartender can be somewhat neglectful). My verdict: if you're looking for a bar to grab some drinks in, Pacific House is fine. If you want food, go elsewhere. read more

We frequent this restaurant almost monthly. Last Sat we decided to invite some friends. The restaurant was crowded and there was only one server for the whole back of the restaurant! The poor woman was scattered to say the least. We waited 15 min to get acknowledged. We waited another 10 min for water. I was really embarrassed that I invited my friends. My friend ordered soda water and it tasted like it came out of the sewer. Our dinner arrived 45 min after ordering and was cold. What has happened to this great restaurant? Shame on management for staffing this place so poorly! I used to love this place but I will have to looks elsewhere! read more

**DISCLAIMER** I did not eat the food here, and the one beer I had (Boneyard) was quite good. This review is explicitly based on service alone. My first trip around was OK, although one bartender was very clearly more interested in talking to another couple than tending to patrons. My second trip around was just after 11:30pm. The business lists it's closing time at midnight, so I figured they might be having last call soon. Instead, I am ushered out the door by who I presume to be the owner's entire party. First he says "were closed" then his entire party joins in. "We're closed," then the bartenders join in. We're closed. I get it. You're closed. But without the courtesy of an apology for closing before your normal business hours just so you can have a beer. I like to think as a paying patron, I deserve a touch more. Or at the very least you change your business hours to reflect times when you don't want your location open to the public so you can have drinks with your friends. Will not be returning. read more

Let's start off with this was "the day after" and we (I) was still recovering from Halloween libations! I needed comfort food, and the Mac and cheese was the ticket! Supper yummy. My honey got the loaded fries which had a good flavor but was work to get the "loaded" part onto the fry and into your mouth. Great service and atmosphere was nice to see all the games from one seat. Fellow patrons were even fun. read more

There was a while when I was eating lunch here almost every day -- friendly staff, nice environment, great menu choices. Try the sweet potato hash with chicken and goat cheese added! Delicious! read more

Great burger!! Great Brunch! Dana, the bartender, is always sweet and quick to make our drinks! I love to see her smiling face.

The food and service were outstanding. We were a large group and they took care of our every request. They gave great recommendations and were super knowledgeable about all their dishes. Great drinks too! read more

I was pleasantly surprised at their happy hour. I had ribs and my husband got a burger. They both were great! We shared a side of . With two beers added into the mix our bill was roughly $35 for all we indulged in. read more

Really good service, cool place, Sunday is Happy Hour all day. I got the black Kale Caesar, housemate croutons, a little overdressed but really good. Also got the ride broccoli, yummy, broccoli comes a little over cooked but the crust is good and the house made aioli is really good. Good beer selection and full bar. Check it out! read more

I have been here once before just for drinks and the food looked good so I had to come back. The steak was good and actually cooked perfectly medium rare as requested. The beer selection is good and the staff was friendly. The crowd was mixed and we did have to deal with a self proclaimed regular there by himself who seemed to be bugging everyone around him. Overall I would say it is one of the better places in downtown Vancouver. read more

A Week Ago I Posted A Very Negative Review On Their Web Page , Immediately It Was Deleted , So I Guess They Just Want You See Positive Reviews ! The Fish And Chips Were Terrible , Fish Was All Batter , Very Little Fish And So Greasy That It Stood On The Plate . The Fries Were Too Salty And I Left Half Of Them. For The Prices They Charge I Expected A Meal That Was Edible , And I Expected Some Fish . Do Not Eat Here , You Will Be Disappointed ! read more

First visit! Nice setting! Love the pictures of Vancouver from decades ago. Food was great! Service was top notch! Price was good! Sweet potato fries were a bit overdone ! Try this place! read more

Cool little place in the the art district. We sat at the bar. Great service. The Mac n cheese was really tasty. Will definitely go back.

Their sweet potato fries are to die for, the service is great and attentive without being annoying, and the atmosphere is very warm and "Pacific Northwest". I've been here twice and always have a good time. Oh, and the burgers you get are monstrous, so bring an appetite! read more

Great food great atmosphere, and service. Love it! Sports on the TVs and food and cocktails that aren't just "out of the box". A great spot in downtown Vancouver! read more

We decided to try this place for the first time, our ribs and fries were pretty good, however our waitress was very rude. My friend asked if they had a Caesar salad, the waitress said they had a kale ceasar, she asked if they could make it with spinach and the waitress said of course. They bring it out and it is a beet spinach salad. When we asked about it, she was very condescending and said "well that's what the menu said" despite her telling us something other than that. Later we asked to split our bill, she promptly leaves before we could clarify how and put everything on separate bills (for example me and my friend split ribs and an order of fries, both were on separate bills) even though we only needed it split in two. All in all the prices were too high for this horrible service read more

Nice environment , best thing going for it. Hit this place up for dinner for the second time since it first opened to see if things had changed. It wasn't the first weeks jitters this place is just not for me and I will tell you why. First off a house burger ...the only burger on the very limited menu doesn't come with cheese or bacon.... It's an additional 3 bucks for two slices of bacon and one slice of cheese with a grand total 15 dollar burger with a packaged bun. The burger wasn't seasoned slightly over cooked and not enough beef. I felt the price far outweighed the quality. Service was not good. Save your cash and cross the river for good hamburger. I see this place out of business within the year. read more

Pacific House - Over cooked burger ...fries were crispy. - Sports Bars Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I love that a place like this exists in downtown Vancouver. Having lived in the area for a couple of decades, I can remember times not long ago when going to a Friday night spot in this part of Vancouver would have been a much sketchier proposition. So good job for bringing a much classier element to the city core. My wife and I hit this place up for the first time on a rainy Friday evening. We had just come from Low Bar and arrived at around 6:30. It was about half full, but pretty loud. We got a seat at the bar immediately and ordered drinks. My wife had one of their "mules" and loved it. I had one of the many beers on tap (Ft. George Cavatica Stout). So that was nice, although the prices were definitely on the high side ($6 pints for example). But with a good selection and good drinks, we could tolerate the prices. The food was excellent and prices very reasonable. We shared a tuna melt, a Scotch egg, and an arugula salad. All came with large portions and were very tasty. I liked that the tuna melt was clearly made with something other than regular chunk tuna from a Costco can. The egg was absolutely huge, and the arugula salad had enough additions to keep it more interesting than just shoving a bunch of roughage in your mouth. Note: the egg was VERY soft boiled, which is how I typically expect them. But some people like them made hard boiled, so you've been warned. They have a HUGE number of TVs all around the room, all tuned to some sports game or another. There was no sound so it wasn't distracting at all. I also didn't really notice any of the patrons actually watching any of the screens. It was a much more social crowd. Help at the bar was very fast and friendly. I don't know what things are like out on the floor. By the time we left at 7:30, the place was getting pretty full and very loud. read more

The food is good, not amazing but good. Unfortunately I'm still currently seated waiting for our bill after waiting an hour to get our food which was cold. It's Sunday. Things get busy but this is ridiculous. A day of very unhappy looking customers around this place probably having a similar experience. Should have gone to blue door... read more

I know with Covid we are not suppose to go out, but every once in a while I need to feel normal. We have been out a few times and service is lacking. Not at Pacific House. We went the other night Cristina was serving by herself and she was AMAZING it felt normal for the first time. Service and food where awesome. For the first time it felt before Covid. Thank you and we will be back!!! read more

Tried this place for the first time Sunday. Chili Verde soup, I'll be back for you. We started with Dirty Fries, they could almost be a meal all on their own but we followed it with a BLT, Ruben and hubby had the Steak. All were worth returning for. Service was spot on. read more

Really disappointed after having lunch here. Walked in at noon and sat down near the front door. No one acknowledged my existence in any way despite waiting on the three seated tables in the otherwise empty restaurant. My companion and I moved to the back by the kitchen and after another 5 minutes in an almost empty restaurant we were given filthy menus. We had to ask for water. Both the entrees we ordered are being "transitioned off the menu". We both were forced to reorder. But she couldn't tell us this at the same time. She took our order then went to the kitchen, came back and said they weren't doing Duck confit tacos. Went back to the kitchen with his second choice order then came back to tell me they aren't doing the wild mushroom pasta. Great... We got no water refills, and no offer for a dessert order. The fish and chips were good but overpriced. Had I known that they were transitioning out of the food on their menu and not transitioning into replacement food I would have gone to a dozen other places nearby before picking them. Abysmal. The whole second star was for the food we did manage to get. It was well prepared. The scotch egg was great, but the raw shaved Brussels sprouts it came with were superfluous at best. read more

The food and drinks were great, but the staff made the experience a negative one. I went around 4:30 with a friend on March 8th. Our first waitress was super nice and checked on us often. She had to leave and our next waiter never once checked on us the next 30 minutes. I had to confront him and tell him we'd like to be checked on and order more. His excuse was that he thought we were done. Not ok. He could have approached our table and ASKED if we needed anything else, especially water. We wanted dessert and were waiting! Very disappointed. Not sure if I'll go back hoping for good service we first got, or if I'll avoid it and the terrible service we ended up with. read more

Kelly was the best! It was our first time here and it was coincidentally her first night as well, which was kind of fun! My wife got the elk burger off the happy hour menu and I got the elk tacos, and we shared a spinach blackberry salad. We are stuffed!!! The portions were large and the prices were fair. It had a mix of backwoods lodge meets modern hipster meets sports lounge, which was an interesting combo that they were pulling off very well! Thanks for the great food and the great service Kelly! We will be back for more! read more

Elk tacos were pretty freaking good. Loves the environment. Rustic/woodsy yet modern and cool that they have flat screen TV's every where if you're wanting to watch a game. We will be back. read more

The fried broccoli is fantastic!! We love the dirty fries!! The only reason I can't give it five is there aren't enough vegetarian options and the salads have been just okay. The service is great!! read more

I included a photo of my vomit covered shoes T minus 10 minutes after eating their disgusting tuna melt. I'm a bulletproof tiger and I never get sick. I wouldn't come here unless you like pretentious twats and you want to empty your guts. I have to say the fries were pretty fantastic and earned the 1 star. It just sucks they were only in my belly for less than 10 minutes. read more

Pacific House - Sports Bars Near Me - Vancouver, Washington

I generally love Pacific House because we can watch sports on the restaurant side, but we did not have a great service experience the last time we attempted to go. I went last week for dinner with my daughter and significant other. When we arrived we were the only people on the restaurant side. I took my daughter to the bathroom, and the waitress had stopped by and asked my significant other about drinks. He told her he was waiting for me to get out of the bathroom to order. We took a couple minutes to decide on drinks and food and were ready to order whenever she came back, but she never came back (about 10 minutes returning from the restroom). A group of about 10 came in and immediately were loud and were not wearing their masks and walking around rearranging tables (to surpass the no more than 5 individuals at a table rule). Another individual came and sat down after them as well. If we had seen the large group upon walking in we would have probably left right away, but we were already seated and expected to have our order in before them. The waitress went and helped the individual man that came in, and then instead of coming to check if we were ready to order she helped the large party that just arrived. When they asked her if it was ok how they arranged the tables because they were a large party over 5 she said "I will not say anything". Then she began taking their orders. At that point we had been waiting over 15 minutes for her to check back with us, so we got up and left and went to Brickhouse (where we had great service) instead. We were already irritated the social distancing/mask rules were not being enforced at the restaurant, but taking orders for 11 people that arrived after us was the last straw. read more

Cool atmosphere with a bunch of TV's...and they're willing to change the channel to particular sports.

Awesome place to eat and have a beverage. Kristina was our server and she was outstanding. Hubby had the elk tacos and said they were amazing. read more

I love a great hamburger, and this place surely delivers. I had an alcoholic beverage and it was quite strong, which is always great. I found it interesting that they're burgers can be made of elk, they offer elk tacos as well. read more

I really want to like this place better than I do, love the ambiance and the location. Drinks were good, but the food just doesn't live up to the promise of the decor and location. I've been here several times and probably won't return. Was the food horrible? No, just nothing special and doesn't meet my dietary needs. I wish the mussels were good as I love mussels, but adding tomatoes and sausage to any seafood is a crime. Wine, butter and garlic, I'm in, but these are ruined by a disastrous recipe. The scotch eggs are interesting, not badly executed but not good enough to order again. The same goes for the fried broccoli. I think this place needs some reliable standard menu items. A truly great Caesar salad with chicken or steak, a solid salmon dish, a solid chicken and a solid steak dish. Basically what every good American Bistro type restaurant has on the menu. With the new restaurants down at the waterfront, every restaurant in Vancouver needs to step up or they will be gone. read more

Saw that this placed had poped up downtown and decided to check it out. Really cool vibe in the restaurant, cool decor and music is good. My fiance is not always the easiest to please being that she is gluten free and just picky but she loved it. They do have gluten free options for those who care. Food was pretty good and they had a good beer selection. Definitely try the dirty fries. read more

I love supporting my local businesses. We arrived at 5:50 so we were able to enjoy the happy hour specials. Ribs, wings, and fried broccoli. All taste great, very nice presentation too. The down town location makes this a perfect place to walk or ride to. Getting a window seat was great and I'm sure when the weather gets nice the sudo alfresco dining will be amazing. I would have given 5 stars but the service was a little slow. I think they were short staffed; the bartender took our order and was waiting the bar. It was pretty busy for a Monday so this might have caught them off guard. read more

Went to this place with a larger group of friends on a Friday night around 8 and it was great! I got the elk tacos which were phenomenal and very high in flavor. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food which included a lot of burgers. Service was good, our waitress was friendly and polite. Atmosphere was fun, although a little loud but what can you expect for a Friday night. Definitely will be coming back! read more

Great happy hour. They have some decent fare on their menu, nice atmosphere and really professional service.

Great burger, awesome dirty fries, deep-fried Broccoli, and beer what more could anyone want. But wait there is more I can't wait to try the other food menu items. This is my new favorite restaurant in the Couve'. read more

We've gone in multiple times. Happy hour is great-- clientele is a mixed bag and fun to watch. Full bar is nice, would like to see more and different beer selection (we like the stouts and porters). This is turning into a regular haunt for us. read more

I work DT and this place has some of the best quality food in Vancouver. The service is always top notch. Skip the over priced food on the waterfront and come here. You want be disappointed. read more

After reading a few reviews, they seemed like my kinda place. Bought a friend with me for lunch. Their menu is exotic and offers alot of unusual dishes which we both likes. We both ordered the same drink, Which we do quiet often. At this point we ordered our lunch as well. The drinks came and they tasted 2 shots of vermouth over ice, 12.50 each we commented to the waitress/bartender, and she said sorry i might have put to much vermouth in it, but that's how i do it. Our food thank goodness was better then the drinks, but as i we drink our ice water, i noticed a couple of hairs and dark floating things at the bottom. My friend being a bartender for years commented, that this happens to ice if its not burned at night sfter closing, it develops bacteria and mold. Notified waitress/bartender and she says that got in there after we bot it. This place is dirty and the bartender/waitress has ignorent. read more
