Was a great time food portions were large drink selection was fantastic great atmosphere to meet up and catch up with old friends

Great staff good food its my Local now specially at Happy Hour Fantastic Pizza best weve had in years read more

Unbelievable Happy hour deals available Daytime: EVERYDAY from OPEN-5pm Nighttime: Friday & Saturday 10 pm-closing + Sunday to Thursday 9 pm - close. They have stouts & porters, wheat beers, brown/amber/cream ales, pale ales & IPAs, seasonal taps, lagers & pilsners, cider & gluten free, lambics & sours....they basically have something for everyone! Many are sourced from local microbreweries. They keep a few faves on tap and rotate the others with what's in season. The Paddle = sample any 4 draft beers for $12.00! Happy hour includes $5 house beers and $19 pitchers, $7 wines, and $9 margaritas They also have a delicious line up of happy hour food, including nachos $16, deep fried pickled $13, yam fries $9, and Korean nuggets $13 We ordered: Pepperoni & Mushroom pizza $32.5 (you could easily feed 4 people with one pizza) , The dirty bird $21 , Deep Fried Dill Pickles $13 , Nachos $16 Everything was truly delicious! My dad makes his own pizza from scratch at least once a week and he is truly a tough pizza critique and he couldn't stop raving about the pizza . The dirty bird was packed with flavour and had an extra crispy and juicy fried chicken . If you like pickles as much as my family does, then I would highly recommend ordering the deep fried dill pickles. They were a parching hot, beautifully sour and had a crispy coating . The nachos are definitely meant to be shared and I loved that it came with plenty of fresh salsa and sour cream Ambiance 5/5 Parking 3.5/5 Food 5/5 Service (I'm taking 1 point off because they were short staffed and only had one person serving all the tables on a Sunday at lunch time. I'm not sure if someone called in sick that day or if they didn't think it would be that busy. The individual looked overwhelmed and was running around. We received a good service but I'm not sure about others). read more

Went here for late night drinks because they are open late and have a big space so the wait here wasn't too long. They had good music which was not too loud so you can have a conversation while having a good time. Their beer menu is huge and they had a lot of options! We got their margarita, rum & coke, and a lot of jager bombs. Since we went their on a Saturday night, the place was crowded but the service was still very quick. It was pretty impressive! We got their potatoes as a shared plate with hot sauce (would recommend their sauce). This place is also just a 5min walk from Commercial Broadway station so the location is perfect for an impromptu night of drinking. read more

If you would like to go to a brewery pub, St Augustine is one of the easiest place to go and it is located at commercial and Broadway side of Skytrain. This place place is cool with different options for beer and good options for food. If you have questions, their waiter was good and he helped us to decided what we can eat. We ate the chicken wings and the chicken burger. Both of them were good. Beers were refreshing and good flavours too. I wish their tables were still the same style from years ago, they were more comfy! Other than that, good place to visit. Cheers read more

Fun place with lots of people watching. The food was abundant and good. We went on a Friday evening and it was busy, so our server was a bit stretched, but it was fine. My margarita was delish, read more

Standard pub-quality food. I did enjoy the fish tacos, but I have definitely had better in Vancouver. Large selection of beer, everyone will be able to find something they like. Friendly service - but really loud inside. The tables were fairly close together. If possible, make a reservation and get a table near a window (slightly quieter!) No issue when asking about my peanut allergy, so it seems they are accommodating there. read more

I read that they serve New Haven style pizza (or apizza) here recently so I rushed down here to try it with my buddy. Amidst the craft beer options and burgers, I went straight for what I can here solely for.. I ordered the "red pie" on the menu. Let me tell you. From one pizza connoisseur to another. It did not disappoint. It was exactly what I was looking for after binge watching Davey Portnoy pie videos consecutively on Facebook. "One bite, everybody knows the rules". "Ok, Frankie." "Pizza Review time." My score? 9.2/10. I'm still day-dreaming over its crispiness the morning after. The tanginess of the sauce. So simple. So basic. Yet, so perfect. Damn. I'm salivating in my brain, right now. If you like Ragazzi's, you'll like this. None of this Pizza Hut Dominos bulls*%#+.. read more

I hadn't been here in over 10 years, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Stopped by last night for some food and drinks, and everything was great! I ended up ordering the lettuce wraps with tofu. I wasn't expecting much considering its pub food, but they were probably some of the best lettuce wraps I've ever had. The atmosphere was pretty casual and the service was excellent. I would definitely come back here next time I'm on the Drive. read more

Price/quality (3/4): Their food is nothing to write home about (standard pub quality) but their beer is where they truly shine. With a beer/cider menu that long, you're bound to find something you like. Service (0/1): This place can get very busy, especially on weekend nights. It's unfortunately possible for the server to forget your order on such nights, and you may have to order the same drink a number of times before you finally get it. Would I come here again: Probably, at least for the beer. read more

St. Augustine's - Pubs Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Think it has been almost 2 yrs since we last visited St Augustine's and came by on a Sunday late afternoon. Very pleasantly surprised to get a table as the establishment was 1/2 empty...guess as it was Sunday afternoon. The food menu has many options including vegetarian with mostly pub type fare. Pizza's are $9 on Sunday which is a good deal if you are in the mood for pizza. We split some yam fries and a pizza and both were ok. The pizza was a little dry and needed more basil and tomato sauce. The service was quite good and with so few patrons, our server was very attentive and pleasant. Metered street parking is available, there are a few 2 hr free spots in the area (very few) and they also have free roof top parking. And here it is all about the beers. Their selection of beers is still very impressive. I sampled two strong IPAs from two of my favourite local craft breweries...hard to beat that. With the great selection of beers, great service and many food options, it was a positive food experience and happy to recommend St Augustine's. read more

Keep in mind that 3 stars isn't a bad thing. It stands of A-OK. I thought the servers were nice the two times I came here. The food... well... it was A-OK. I liked the mushroom and spinach pizza and wasn't wowed by the fried pickle or the poutine the first time I came. The second time we came mostly for drinks but I was in a Apple Pie mood. They had an Apple pie for dessert and an Apple Pie drink. I won't like I enjoyed the drink but the dessert was just average. This place is okay. Loud, which you should expect from a Pub, and you come here to drink. More me, a girl who doesn't really drink I look at the food and I wasn't impressed but wasn't disgusted. I would say this place has a plenty selection of drinks to choose from that ranges from beers to cocktails. If you want food try the pizza. read more

Great spot! Friendly staff, wide selection of tasty food and beverage, and a relaxed atmosphere. Yes, please!

It had to happen. After a few return visits, I finally remembered why I stopped going to this place for a number of years. Poor value. Indifferent service. Four imperial stouts in the almost $10 taster flight served in two ounce shot glasses, of which about half an ounce of each had spilled into the serving paddle. Okay, I can appreciate these are high alcohol beers, but after the spills, I was probably left with about six ounces. A starter of probably a half dozen halved and fried Brussels sprouts in one of those oh-so-tiny cast iron frying pans... $9.50! Our servers response to our questioning the small serving sizes and high cost... an indifferent apology. No offer to at least bring another shot glass of beer to make up for the spillage. Apparently, it's "not their policy"? Would that be to make customers happy? She did bring our almost $30 bill, though, for one extra-small taster flight, a beer, and a few bites of a small starter. Best to avoid this place, at least for another four or five years. read more

St. Augustine's - Falafel appetizer... seriously good!!! - Pubs Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

I've always passed by St. Augustine's and wondered about the restaurant who took over the Bino Restaurant that occupied this lot for years. I finally had a chance to try it out the other day and I have to say... their wings are nasty. They are just drenched in sauce. I mean, I like saucy wings, but when it's 50% chicken and 50% sauce, I think you've gone overboard. I had one chicken wing was also the size of half a chicken nugget. What the heck is that and where do you find these dwarf chickens? I also had the nachos and they were pretty disappointing. The ingredients didn't taste fresh and they were a little stingy on the toppings. The saving grace is their beer selection. It's huge and for decent prices. If I were to come back, it would be just for the beer. Don't waste money on the food. read more

Went last night on a packed and busy Saturday night and was surprised how it turned out. The waitress we had was super swamped with multiple tables but had a good memory of what beer taps were still available and dealing with our requests. She also came by with water often to refill our water glasses as they were being emptied. The food isn't the greatest but in a pinch it will do. Their shining achievement is their large number of beer tap variety (with live online menu) and now I've got to say the service was good My favourite thing is to get their $9.75 beer paddles to sample a few different tasters of beer. I'd recommend going for dinner elsewhere on The Drive then coming here for appies and drinks. I will actually look forward to coming back to this place again! read more

St. Augustine's - My paddle of beer tasters for $9.75 - Pubs Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Got a flight of beer ($8) and the Mac n cheese croquettes ($11) and the garlic fries ($11.50). The Mac and cheese was really hot, and it was pretty cheesy and not dry. It didn't seem as if the garlic fries had enough garlic on it, but don't be fooled. I will say that this appy was a bit pricy for what it is. As for the flight: Bomber Brewing: raspberry parklife Cannery Brewing: sunblink berry sour Blood Brother Brewing: paradise lost: golden sour ale with guava (my fav) Foamers Folly Brewing: wide mouth watermelon wheat ale read more

I've come here a few times, and usually have an okay experience. The food and drinks are average bar stuff, nothing special. However the service the last time I was here was absolutely horrendous - some of the worst service I have ever received in my life. Our waitress took ages to ever check back on our table so it took us forever to put any orders down OR to get our drinks after ordering, even giving leeway on it being a busy Friday night. She gave one of my friends at the table attitude, was inefficient and looked disgusted when she had to clear the table (hello it's your job...), and was rude on many occassions throughout the night. So while food and drinks were decent, the wait to get any service, and then getting terrible service when we did get any turned our expected fun, liquor-filled night out into somewhat of a disappointment. So I would say - unless your top priority is just the convenience of its location, go elsewhere, because there really is nothing here that you can't get somewhere else. read more

Great place to kick back and relax with a nice cold beer after work! I love the energy of this place. It's always really lively, but not too rowdy that it's too loud to talk to your friends. I find that the service is just - okay - . I asked the server for recommendations according to my beer preferences, and on both occasions the server said "I'm not sure... let me check for you..." so, that was a bit odd. I usually prefer darker beers, so I decided to try the "S'mores" stout and it was delicious! would definitely order it again. If you're looking to order food with your drinks, I recommend their nachos! The portion size is perfect to share between 3-4 people, and they do not cheap out on toppings / sauces. One more thing -- I like how St. Augustine's is super close to Commercial sky train station! Allows people to drink responsibly and to have a safe way home :) read more

Good restaurant that could be great, if it wasn't for the brainless management. Me and my girlfriend went to get brunch, only to be told they don't have mimosas. You offer brunch, and yet you don't carry sparkling wine? HUH? read more

Finally had a chance to their nachos. Good - really crispy chips. Sour cream and salsa bits sprinkled all over, negating the need to dip into any bowls (awkward). Bad - layering isn't done well - uneven distribution. Not enough cheese holding things together - all the bits kept falling all over the place. Verdict - unfortunately, the nachos are simply inferior to those of the Wallflower on Main (my gold standard). read more

This pub is located in central commercial drive. Due to its location, its super crazy busy (any day). Especially when there are Canucks game happening its really hard to get seats. You really have to come early. Had their nachos and the portion was huge and pretty good. My friends like coming here but because I don't drink I watch them drink. The beer selection is massive. No kidding. I am not talking about wine. I am seriously talking about beer!! I enjoy mostly the atmosphere of the place than anything else. Its quite enjoyable and gives you that also night life vibe every time I am there. Love this place. read more

The place was half empty - I was shown to a table close to the front. Not a single person came by to serve me. 15 minutes later... not a single person. any one wanting to go there? Good luck getting food or beer. maybe St. Augustine's should be a pass... head on up to a plethora of Establishments on Commercial that would be happy to serve you! read more

So St Augs did a Reno before reopening from the lockdown, and the place looks new and shiny. Gone is the permeating odourifousness, which was a bit off putting previously. The service was friendly and pleasant, and they have put some thought into their seating plan and installed barriers for social distancing and germ catching. The Beer selections are catching up to what they used to be as the staff get the restaraunt back up and running. However, it annoyed me just a bit, that there was no paper towel in the mens bathroom so that you could exit the bath room without touching the door. Hopefully an over sight, which is easily fixed, and look forward to some after work type patio action. read more

I would not even go there again to use the washroom the food was garbage and the waitress looked like she was constipated! My advice to her practice safe sex the world doesn't need anymore waitress's with your disposition! read more

Augustine's is... pretty great for what it is. Which is a neighborhood watering hole and sometimes-Sports-bars, depending if there's a game on. The good: the vast beer selection. This is why I come here, really. I love making up flights of whatever seasonal delights they have on tap. Sometimes they have my favourite beers on nitro (Fuggles & Warlock's Last Strawberry on nitro is not to be missed.) St. Augustine's has a community feel, and if you live in the neighborhood and your friends like beer, you have a good chance of seeing someone you know here. The service is.. casual. This is not fine dining. It gets busy. The servers aren't inattentive, but they're real people. Occasionally I have to flag someone down to place an order or get a bill, but I've also had a great time chatting with servers, and they're for the most part warm, friendly, and funny. The menu is fairly consistent. I come back for the Korean Fried Chicken bites, the brunch pizza, the other pizzas, and the mac and cheese fritters. The bad: the noise level can be a lot. If it's a Friday night and you're seated near the middle of the restaurant, expect to have to raise your voice to hear your drinking companion. Augustine's has devoted customers who will wait for a table, especially Thursday-Saturday, and there is often a line-up. If you are not into sports, this is the kind of place where the whole place cheers when something happens on the game. It can be a bit much if you're on a date or something. I've been disappointed by a couple of menu items - namely the lettuce cups and the falafel plate. Which pretty much taught me to order pub food when I go to a pub. If I really want a falafel, there's a donair place across the street. read more

I've come here every now and then for the last two years because its a pretty open space, beer is beer, and its an ok place to hang out and converse with people. The food is ok as pub food. My last visit I ordered my usual $8 beer and the server suggested a different beer, and so I accepted and had three of these beers that turned out to be $12 each. When I said WTF to the server she proudly proclaimed that that is called upselling. So now I don't like this place and I don't want anyone to ever go here again so I can have revenge. read more

Beer! Beer! Beer! What else do you want to know? For all I care, they could only have bread and butter on the food menu and I'd still be happy. It may not be the best drinking room in town, but it's certainly one of the better, and it raises the bar for other pubs in the vicinity. Here's why it shines. Each of their 40+ beers on tap is displayed as a lovely graphic on large LCD TVs with name, colour and a real time depiction of the keg level, 12 at a a time. See my pictures, and you'll see the future. Smaller monitors are even on display above the urinals so that you can pre-plan your next pint while the previous one makes its exit. I'm just glad that said keg doesn't slowly fill back up while you're doing your business. Yes I went there. Not sure? Order a flight and sample 4 beers at a time. Not rich? Go on a Tuesday and save a buck a beer. It's a largish sized venue, good for groups. And it's right next to a Skytrain station. How much more responsible can you possibly be? They have a somewhat typical pub food menu to suit most tastes, albeit slightly higher priced than many bars. ps. Bread and butter as a menu item. Why not? Seriously. read more

I love this place. It is currently my favourite place to eat and drink in all of Vancouver. I had been here about a dozen times before writing this review and I can say I've never really been disappointed. The staff is great and the food is simply amazing - I've only had a few items from the menu but every time it was excellent. The chicken burger is my most favourite. The only negative about St. Augustine's (and it's HARDLY a big deal) is that service can be slow on busy nights; but I can't hold that against them because I would expect anywhere to have slow service when it's packed full on a game night. Another thing: beer. Oh my God beer. I am NOT a "beer person". My knowledge of beers is to the extent of "give me something light that I can't taste. I don't care what is is or where it's brewed". St. Augustine's has opened my eyes. The first time I went there I tried 'The Paddle' which is, well, a wooden paddle with a sample glass of 4 beers of your choice. After that I was hooked. Their beer menu is expansive and different every time I go in. They have many seasonal, local, and even in house brewed beers. One neat thing I like is how they have a big flat screen TV above the bar that continuously runs through all their available beers, while showing how much is left - once it runs out, it's gone and removed off the menu. This great pub is on the more expensive side of a moderately priced hang out, thus preventing me from going there every God damn day. A meal and a couple of drinks usually runs me $30-$60, depending on how boozy I get. read more

Had the brunch munchies, stumbled onto The Drive, saw Brunch on their chalkboard sign and went for it. When you walk in you are greeted with a copious collection of beers on tap. If you are a beer lover, nothing is more beautiful. The bartender was serving a beer paddle sampler of four beers. Tempting but was a wee bit early for drinking. There's always next time. Ordered the prosciutto eggs benefit ($9). All brunch dishes come with a bowl of fresh fruit and breakfast potatoes which are served in a cool mini frying basket. Prosciutto was good quality. Photo here: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/VznOFJQbZ9PZKrzdXkkiiA?select=l9l2-f3TtzyRrHnKMRQRIg I also tried out a bit of the St. Augustine breakfast burrito ($10). What a beast in size. Ample hearty fillings topped with fresh salsa, this will put you through the day for sure. With cheery service, a modern interior, plenty of TV's, and a beer selection that rivals Biercraft's (formerly Stella's) offerings, St. Augustine has my need covered. read more

This is my most favorite pub, ever! For a place that's known for their fantastic selection of beer, I come for the food. Every time I come here, I get surprised by how good the food is, and it always makes me come back for more. My favorite item on the menu is their fried chicken, which is probably the best I've ever had. They usually give you 2 pieces of white meat, and a piece of dark meat. I just don't understand stand how they manage to make the dark meat at tender and juicy as the red meat. It just defies logic! They have different flavors on rotation it seems, and the 2 flavors I had, garlic and honey + Tabasco , are equally fantastic. Also do yourself a favor and get one of their desserts. I had their banana Nutella tiramisu and it was DIVINE. Paired it with a stout and I was on cloud nine. read more

I love coming here for a few reasons. The location is convenient for transit, it's huge and so great for big groups, they take reservations even on weekends, food is better than your average pub, great beer selection, and (aside from maybe a couple off nights) the service is usually pretty decent too. The staff aren't particularly knowledgeable about the beer, nor do they have the time, so don't expect to be patiently walked through all the selections (for that, go to the Alibi Room). Tips for groups: have your drink & food orders ready, and try to stay in the same seat the entire time you're there, otherwise they will confuse your bill. Some of my favourite menu items: Nachos - they are vegetarian, but I promise you won't miss the meat. It's PILED with toppings. They layer the all the cheese, tomatoes, jalepenos, along with plenty of guacamole, so it really is a meal in itself. Plan to share (or not)! Fried chicken - a very good version, well-seasoned, served with thick onion rings, gravy and whole cloves of roasted garlic. The roasted garlic is a really nice touch. Brussel sprouts - these used to be served only as a side to certain main entrees, but they've recently added it to the appies menu. Good call, because they are delicious! Pan-fried perfectly, with a little char on the outer leaves, they're absolutely addictive and great with beer. read more

I may enjoy beer samping (mini beers) a bit too much. This is another great place to sit down on Commerical Drive and just sample beers. With 40 craft and micro beers on tap to choose from you are bound to find some new and enjoyable flavours. Bring on the mini beers! My only complaint was going after a UFC event and they had run out of nachos. So sad! All I really wanted was a good plate of nachos to go along with my delish beer. read more

I've been to St. A's perhaps 3 or 4 times. I've been turned away twice when the wait was proposed at 30 minutes (what!? No thanks - plenty other commercial drive equivalents). I love their pizza's which are great to share with a shared salad (an attempt at healthy eating). Oh wait did I forget to mention the billion beers they have? Yes. Oops. I'd love to recommend what I tried but apparently their stock rotates and girates out of use so unless you bolt over to St. A's RIGHT NOW..... Regardless if you're as beer clueless as me (or want to expand your palate) or have absolutely no excuse but just wanna... Try a paddle of beer. They kindly acronym what you order so as it gets beer fuzzy you can pretend to remember what you've drank. I LOVED the Radle(?) beer with its grapefruit juice pretense. If beer isn't for you - having this will certainly trick your beer-gare(radar on what's beer). Don't worry we don't have to tell your tummy. Oh so back to the food. Cuz. Yum. I'm not sure what the deal is with the Brussels sprout appy - yeah while I havent tried it yet - it's the last appy I personally consider when pairing beer (green and gassie with beer). Although almost each time I've been I do remember the waitresses "recommending" them. Hmm. Overstock on the healthy green things. Be sure to up sell!? I digress. I'm a photo queen - ok princess? Check out my photos. Check out St. A's cuz being diet naughty has never been more accepted. read more

I'm not a huge fan of beer but I think a couple here might have changed my mind. There was one that tasted like coffee and another that was like lemonade. I completely forgot to take down the names though. My group also ordered a side of nachos which was delicious. Lots of fresh toppings, guacamole was included, and the chips were toasted to a beautiful golden brown. UPDATE: I came here a second time and my group had another round of paddles (for them), poutine, and gin and tonic (for me). The poutine was creamy and delicious!! The gravy was very peppery, the cheese curds melted beautifully, and the fries were nice seasoned. They could have been a bit more crisp in preparation for their poutinification though. read more

This is where I go when I want great beer. This is where I bring my friends who want great beer. This is what I recommend to friends who are looking to show their other friends great beer. There is an abundance of great beer here. The food is pub food. Fairly tasty pub food at that. But I'm not going to St. Augustine's for a culinary experience and a 5 star meal. I'm going for some 5 star beers. In fact, all of the stars from this review go to the beer because their selection of beer is the bomb! Many many many many many taps. Lots of local features, reasonable descriptors, and from my experience, very knowledgeable staff. They have a great staple selection as well as a seemingly endless rotating supply of seasonal beers. The specific day I went in, when this review was produced, it was a Vancouver Craft Beer Week event. It was "New Kids on the Rock" tap takeover! I believe it was 5 different breweries from Vancouver Island and they had a selection of 30 different beers! My friend and I shared a total of 8 flights in order to sample them all. Our server was great and she had some laughs with us and it was a delightful evening all around. When in search for a great beer selection St. Augustine's is the place to go! When St. Augustine's is having a beer event, girl, lemme tell you that you aren't going to want to miss it!! read more
