I've been to other Steamworks locations in the past and was not overly impressed, but happened to find this suggested to me on a website and after walking by multiple times decided to stop in. I'm not sure if this location is newer as I don't spend much time in this neighborhood, but I was happy to come across it randomly. The bar area was nice and the service was attentive. We spent awhile here as we were waiting to be order to order off the happy hour menu which is 3-6 every day. There were a ton of things that sounded delicious on the regular menu, but I really wanted to try the vegan tofu bites and I am really glad I waited. This was one of the best things I ate on my 3 day trip to Vancouver, I think I might end up here every future trip just for this reason. I even inquired why it's not on the regular menu since I want to be able to eat it all times of the day. While we waited we sampled many beers. This place has a vibrant atmosphere. It also has a patio that looks inviting in better weather. There were many unique beers, but one that I had which was one of the most unusual beers I have ever had was the carrot cake ale, the orange color was so enticing. My sharing of this to social media has even inquired some of my friends to want to seek it out. They were happy to learn its available in cans. I will certainly give the other location I am more familiar with another go on my next visit, but now I am tempted to check out the Burnaby one as well. This is a good reminder to me to read menus even if I think I know what a place has to offer. This place is so much better than what I recall from the past. Glad I gave it another chance, although my first visit to this location, but I see the Gastown location has an improved menu as well. read more

New craft beer location Mount Pleasant, among the cluster of other craft places in the area. My understanding is that this location is actually a franchise. Parking is available on the side streets. The big empty paved lot next to the building is now just empty and devoid for some reason. Parking around here is a bit difficult, but it's doable. The venue has a nice S large facing covered (but not enclosed) patio that I imagine would get a bit too hot in the summer. There is also an indoor sports type bar and some indoor seating. As the place is new, it has a very modern look. Staff are friendly, though they don't quite look around enough. Had to wave down the staff several times. Poke nachos - nice and tasty, though it's hard to share. The fish chunks fall off the chips. Best to eat with a spoon. Wings - crispy and salted just right. Comes with (ranch?) dipping sauce. Brewhouse burger - nice and juicy. Fixings were decent. I upgraded to onion rings, and they are pretty good. Not as fluffy as A&W, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. And of course, the beers are consistent with the other locations. Decent choice in the area if one is also looking for food. read more

Upon walking in, it feels very industrial but there's a variety of seating from the outdoor patio, rounded diner like tables, bar stool seating, and picnic style lunch tables. The eclectic menu features your typical bar food of burgers and fries but also Asian fusion of bao, banh mi, and lighter bowl options. We made it just in time for happy hour so I was able to order Ahi Tuna cups. Food came out super quickly before I even decided if I wanted an entree. Once I tried the ahi tuna cup, there was no doubt I wanted more. I immediately ordered two more! It was an impulsive decision to try raw fish at a bar but you know what, that was a flavor party in my mouth and no I didn't get sick. read more

If you are looking for a relaxed atmosphere for drinks and food, this is a decent place. We sat in an area considered outside, but it was covered, so the rain did not impact us. Our server was attentive ! They have a large selection of beers, and drinks. They also offered specials, which were great to sample some beers. We shared the cheese bread ( one of the specials) and it was toasted to perfection and the cheese was not overwhelming. I had the poutine with pulled pork. I felt I need to try a Canadian dish. The fries were crispy, but soft inside. The pork was tender and topped with gravy. My daughter had a salmon salad. and she enjoyed it. It was better than average brewery food and the atmosphere was chill. Also very dog friendly. read more

Service,food and atmosphere was brilliant, very happy will definitely be returning. The only negative was parking, the underground is pay,and because it's for the Condos above it's a distance to walk especially if it's raining read more

Not so Pleasant Waiter, said that we had to pick a two seat table instead of the 4 seater we had chosen and that we should of came in the front way, was how me and my friend were greeted.We did move to another table and ordered drinks with some very un-cohesive Servers.Lousy Happy Hour Food Menu with few choices for food but the Margaritas were not bad along with the beer and wine .Bland Decor and Atmosphere certainly weren't warming,not a future go to in my mind. read more

Steamworks at Mount Pleasant is a fantastic spot for unwinding after a long workday, especially if you're into beer and casual social gatherings. Each location of Steamworks has its own menu, and this one didn't disappoint! We visited during Happy Hour, which is a big plus since they offer it every day! The Happy Hour menu has a decent selection of food and beers, making it a solid place to grab some drinks and snacks with friends. You can check their website for details, but trust me, it's worth it. The patio is pet-friendly, which was a nice surprise, so we got to dine with our furry friend while enjoying the laid-back atmosphere. The space is larger than it looks from the outside--plenty of room to relax. The vibe is a classic pub setting, though the music can be a bit on the louder side, so keep that in mind. Another great perk is the Costco gift card deal! We spent $80 to get a $100 gift card and were happy to learn that we could use it during Happy Hour as well. Overall, it's a great hangout spot with a welcoming vibe. Definitely will be back! Food on the table: * AHI TUNA CUPS * GUACAMOLE & CHIPS * BUFFALO CHICKEN BITES * HAWAIIAN PIZZA Food: 4/5 Should Try! Service: 4/5 Kids: 4/5 (Love how they can accommodate kids party on the patio). Price: $30-$40 per person (Happy Hour), depending on how many glasses you have. Presentation: 1/5 Parking: Paid street parking Tips: * accept large reservations. * have a beautiful heated patio. * have striking graffiti murals on the urban patio walls. * have a huge selection of craft beers. * offer to sub gluten-free pizza crust with extra charges. Would I Return: Yes ‍ read more

Great new spot in Mt Pleasant for beers and food, with many plant-based options on the menu. We stopped in on a Sunday afternoon to meet a friend for beers. We sat out on their beautiful patio, which is dog-friendly. They have flights of 4 for $10 plus tax, with almost 30 beers on tap. They're not the most exciting brewery around, but some of their beers are interesting. We ended up having dinner too, as they have a large vegan section of the menu. I ordered their vegan jambalaya ($24 plus tax), and my wife got the tofu goddess bowl (vegan; $21 plus tax). The jambalaya in particular was excellent, with lots of vegan sausage, lots of veggies, and great textures -- this was a really well-designed dish that certainly exceeded my expectations for brewpub food. The price is rather exorbitant ($24, seriously?), but at least the quality was great. Great spot to chill at with beers and food. Nothing amazing, but ticks a lot of boxes. read more

Honestly, I don't have any issues with the service or food. They're doing great on that front. The music is wayyyyy too loud, to the point where I had to strain to hear the person next to me. It was especially frustrating on trivia nights- they don't turn the music off or even turn it down, which makes talking to and hearing your teammates near impossible. Not sure if that's the trivia host's responsibility or if it's the restaurant's, but please consider turning the volume of the music down! read more

I have to say, my first impression and experience at a the new Mt. Pleasant Steamworks location was quite the disappointment. When you first arrive, you realize the furnishings are horribly generic and incredibly bland verging on anemic - more like an IKEA-inspired hospital cafeteria than a cool restaurant/bar in a funky neighbourhood. Zero character and not at all like the Gastown location. The beers are at least fairly decent because it's Steamworks but three of us ordered dinner and the food was mediocre at best and my veggie burger was cold/undercooked and much like the decor - utterly dull and unappealing. The server at least offered to warm up my meal or replace it with something else but I just wasn't interested. The whole place just made me want to leave and go somewhere less bland. If you want a very beige, generic, and forgettable experience, then this is your place. I'm not the least bit interested to go back nor are the friends I was with. read more

Alas, the big pub arrives on Main. Or did I just stumble into a Real Estate Presentation Centre? This is not the red brick of Steamworks gastown. Decor is a box of concrete and glass. But I guess that's how our imaginative city planners want our restaurant spaces to be. The techno music is loud. The food's surprisingly good. But the whole place is drenched in a reek of bleach and antiseptic, hospital grade. Eye watering. The Toronto-y vibe doesn't really fit the neighbourhood. I might go back for the fries and sit outside. read more

Beer selection is extensive but the choices are subpar. Wasn't bad but it wasn't good. Saw our server once when she took our order and that was it. :( read more
