When this restaurant first opened, I enjoyed their menu-it wasn't incredible but had a few decent things I enjoyed. At some point, either new management or a new chef came in and the whole menu was revamped. Three times my family tried it and every time something was wrong-undercooked chicken, bland items or receiving the wrong order. We stopped going because the food was just too inconsistent. The multilevel building is cool and has a nice patio, so it's unfortunate that their kitchen let me down so often. I will say customer service was always decent. read more

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would. My friend comes here all the time and she raves about the Vegan pizza. We wanted to try it so she ordered it for lunch. My other friend ordered a big salad with spicy tofu, and I ordered the Banh mi bowl. It was all amazingly delicious. We were so pleased to see so many Vegan options! But the highlight was the Vegan poutine. None of us had tasted poutine before and this version was amazing! Our server knew what she was talking about and was able to ensure all our dishes were fully vegan. Service was excellent and quick. The place was airy with the bay door open and the music was not too loud. Overall a magnificent experience! Don't miss this place! read more

I've tried several menu items now and have never been disappointed. If you get lucky and they have the chili, get it! It's just like my Mom made Service is always good too! Staff is helpful and affable read more

Sadly this brewery was very underwhelming. My partner and I have been wanting to try this spot since it opened and happened to find ourselves on the coast and stopped in for an appetizer and drinks. I got the house Caesar with gin and I enjoyed my drink - def needs a kick of spice or something to elevate it. It was definitely the best thing I ordered though. The garnish was nice with pepperoni stick, onion and two olives. My partner ordered a beer and said it was decent but wasn't overly joyed. The worst of the worst was their poutine, If you can call it that...we ordered with the mushroom gravy as my partner is a vegetarian and what we received looked very unappetizing. I am convinced the mushroom gravy was heated Campbell's mushroom soup. They poured it over the soggy fries with mozzarella (not cheese curd) and called it a day. It was bad and sad and altogether disappointing. We probably won't go back here. read more

This is the end of the best fries on the Coast. They have now gone the way of every other restaurant and are using frozen fries. Unfortunately, I am probably the only one that's going to complain. Most peope don't know that the difference between a fresh cut potato and a bag of frozen potato prod The service was great, the beer is great but I went for good old fashioned fries. I'm not going back. read more

This place is absurdly priced, poor service, absolutely shocking food service, with stuff likely bought at costco re-purposed as "home made". Beer was average, place wasn't busy enough to justify the long waits for literally everything. If you're not prepared to serve people upstairs, don't seat them up there. Absolute amateur hour. Go across the street to A&W and you'll have a better time. read more

On a short little getaway to the Sunshine Coast with my daughter we stopped in for lunch before we grabbed a ferry back to Vancouver. Our friends recommended the 101 Brewhouse. It was an early lunch so we were the first ones there...the staff were friendly and super efficient. Good little menu...I prefer when a place has a smaller menu that focuses on what they are good at! We decided on the Banh-Mi Rice Bowl and added the Grilled Lemongrass Chicken. They split it for us and each serving had the perfect proportions. This is a perfectly balanced bowl with great textures and depth of flavour in each individual ingredient. The daikon and carrot slaw was so fresh and bright with the sweetness you expect in a traditional Banh-mi...balanced perfectly with the sour that pickled vegetables bring. The grilled lemongrass chicken, herb salad of cilantro and basil and onion crisps gave the perfect texture and flavour components. Then there was just the right amount of Kimchi Mayo and Sriracha topping the brown rice. Impressed by the flavours and textures that went into this dish. For dessert we ordered the Mike's Place Gingerbread Gelato. A locally made gelato that had fresh and vibrant flavours. The gelato was topped with fresh raspberries, blueberries and mint. For fun we decided to make a gelato float by topping it with my Cider! Sooo yummy! I love a place that highlights locally sourced ingredients and products. read more

A friend and I stopped in here for a flight of beer each. Between the two of us, we sampled 6 beer. The blueberry sour gose and the hopped Pilsner were the winners. I would take a growler of the Pilsner to go. There weren't any beer that were bad; the others just didn't stand out. The cost of a flight of four beer is reasonable, only $7.50. They also make gin & vodka; however, they don't offer samples of those. I was tempted to buy a bottle of gin to take home, but I decided against it because I'd prefer to taste it first. The atmosphere is bright, spacious and welcoming. I'd like to come back to try some food as well. read more

I am so jealous this isn't near me. Great space, lovely staff and the food was so good. I had the bramble cider, it was perfect, not overly sweet. Hubs enjoyed his flight, which was presented nicely in a box a nice touch when everyone else is doing paddles. The happy hour deals are great, we shared the briskett tacos and they were so tasty! Food comes plated on cute little industrial trays. The curry fried pickles are mouth watering, try them. Kale beet salad was really fresh and well dressed. No room for dessert unfortunately! Great staff, location, space and drinks and food. I highly recommend, this is high end food compared to other breweries making food! read more

Only impressive if this is your first time leaving the house in several decades. My overall impression is that functionaries conflate "New" with "Good", and that this accounts for the needlessly lofty reviews for this restaurant. I was alarmed to discover that despite the glowing reviews, this is little more than an up-market greasy spoon with a very anemic menu. The burger that I ordered was drowned in mustard. We couldn't finish our fries, as they were almost inedible. The beer would be classified as below average if you've done any amount of traveling off the continent. The dated industrial decor is spartan and uncongenial...along with everything else that accompanies the experience. What wasn't appreciated was the continual disruption of our dinner/conversation by our server. Six times as we were attempting to extract something laudable from our visit. Molly's might be considered a step down from this Brewhouse, but they will have my business from now on, as everything about the place is unpretentious, and the food and service is vastly superior. read more

Visited Gibsons for a week - really dogsittong for a friend. Didn't stray much from the house but on my last day my friend came to pick me up and we did a little tour of The town then she decided on 101 for lunch. The bartender greeted us immediately upon entering which was really welcoming. Instead of taking him up on his invitation to sit at the bar we chose a table in the corner so we could chat. The wait staff was fantastic and super attentive and didn't get visibly peeved at our chatting and asking her to come back because we hadn't decided yet. We finally chose the beef and cod tacos and happily shared both - so hard to share sometimes. Both were delicious. I loved the chimchurri sauce on the beef taco as it cut the oil a bit. We both found it a tad rich and felt it could have been dialed back a notch in the oil category. The cod taco were perfect though and having both was a great choice! Also have to give kudos to the coffee - although it would have been nice to drink it out of a mug made by a local ceramic artist!! (As a potter I always prefer real mugs!) Our server was really friendly and knowledgeable and we had a great chat about all the great local beer! Will definitely go back - it was nicely busy for a weekday afternoon with a lot of light even though it was rainy outside. read more

I was expecting a brewery and instead it was a club. The beer was drinkable but the atmosphere took away from our experience. Don't waste your money and time if you want to relax. read more

Exceptional drinks and incredible service ! Chris is amazing! Loved my Ferry Tale Rose ! Will definitely return to try the foods as it appeared to be very highly recommended ! Can't wait to try their gluten free options read more

My husband and I were staying in Gibson's over the weekend, and from the short time we were here this was hands down the best place in town. The food was amazingly awesome! We had fried pickles, my husband had corn chowder soup, and I had wings. We also had a few beers which we enjoyed as well. They had a good little happy hour menu as well. We sat at the bar and the bartenders were great and friendly. Thanks 101 for a great experience! read more

My sister and I were steered here, almost by accident, for lunch. What a great piece of fortune! Fantastic curried squash soup, chicken wings that ACTUALLY TASTED LIKE CHICKEN (do you know how RARE that is?) And drinks. Well, to be honest, my first cocktail (using their own spirits) tasted better than the second, but the server was quick to assist. They use all their own spirits, have imagination in planning both food & drink, obviously care about customers. What more can you ask? Will happily return read more

COLD BEER HERE !!!! Finally a craft brewery with cold beer ! Try the Toms Lager. Thanks 101. Great experience.

Absolutely love "The 101 Brewhouse & Distillery" Great food, friendly staff and fun atmosphere! Highly recommend it:) read more

Visited a few times and the service and atmosphere is great. Today (Friday Nov 1) went for lunch with my daughter and two grandkiddies. The food was absolutely top notch. Had the clubhouse which was the best I've ever had and I've had lots; the chicken tasted fresh roasted and oh so tender. The goat cheese balls and the chicken gravy poutine was so so good. Left feeling very happy and satisfied. Can't wait to go back. read more

Friendly staff, nice ambiance, and tasty beers! Kitchen was closed due to COVID, but Salt and Swine food truck outside was delicious and brought food to our table inside. Good beer selections brewed in house, and some local spotlight beers from nearby breweries. Taller taller was delicious, would recommend if you appreciate IPAs read more

Great spot along the Sunshine Coast trip. Just happened to spot it along the way. Not sure why it didn't come up while yelping nearby restaurants. Excellent food and excellent service. If your in the area it's worth the stop. The brisket tacos are a must try. read more

Have been a few times. The staff seems nice. The spirits are average. The mixed drinks are good. The food was a miss. Maybe I need to try it again? They have good events here and I like the location. A nice alternative to the Blackbear. Would recommend. read more

First impressions on our first visit. Very nice atmosphere. Clean. Good music and the seemingly mandatory sports tvs on a wall. Attentive staff. A few small tables, a bar, and then some long communal tables downstairs, and some smaller tables on the mezzanine. We enjoyed their lager and blond ale, some yucca chips, fish tacos and chicken sandwich. For dessert we tried the chai-chocolate cake. ($52 before tip.) All the food was good quality for a pub. I suspect this place will do well. My one pet-peeve for any restaurant is for management to train the staff to smile and greet people. It costs nothing, but makes a good initial impression, and connection, and gives patrons a feel they are welcome and valued. read more

Yesterday (Sun 21st) we wanted to have a nice relaxing outing after both having a heart wrenching week. We sat in the patio and waited for about 10 minutes. Nobody showed up. A couple sat on a table beside us. Few minutes later a long haired waitress showed up with menus to that table and takes their drink order. While passing by our table we looked at her quite puzzled, and in a rude manner she says " you have to wait, we are slammed" (or in those lines) Given that rude response, my wife and I got really upset, got up and left. But on our way out she was yapping with her coworker behind the bar. Lest to say that we went to lower Gibsons, had a great dinner, great service (with a smile and good ambiance) read more

This place is a work in progress. We went with three small children and ordered the NOT hot fried chicken sandwich for two of them to share, then two more (one hot, one not) for the adults. The kitchen mixed up the orders...The plates ended up being two with half-hot, half-not, and one hot. I mention this because our toddler took a big bite out of a spicy one and ended up screaming. She was fine after eating some plain bread, but refused to eat much after that. In spite of the mix-up, the food was good. We ordered a few other things in addition to the chicken, and everything was fresh, (temperature) hot, tasty. Excessively salty, even for pub food, especially the yucca chips, but tasty. Beer was good too, also fresh. We would go again, but it would be nice if the staff were more vigilant about things like the food mix-up. It would also be nice if this place were more kid-friendly. High chairs, for a start, would have been appreciated, as well as crayons to go with the colouring sheet our older kid got. A change table. A lot of breweries now are family-friendly, and it wouldn't take much for this one to be too. read more

My husband and I came here TWICE while enjoying our honeymoon on the Sunshine Coast--seriously good beer, amazing bites, and some surprisingly amazing kombucha. Their oatmeal stout was A-plus and my husband really enjoyed their blonde ales. I also tried their locally distilled gin and vodka in the Ferrytale and Wildflower cocktails and LOVED both. Great atmosphere, great options, lovely staff--this spot was definitely a highlight of our trip!! read more

The food I have eaten, fantastic. They take care of the food, the ingredients: it's unique. Please load up those little tacos with goodness. The beer is good, not my style, I like the robust flavours, the pop, the WOW. This beer is clean and easy. But put raspberries in this brewers kettle and he make a great he magic. The raspberry IPA, I can't stop drinking it. I dream about it when I'm sailing on my pillow that tells movies. read more

A great brewpub. The atmosphere is casual and friendly and the smoked wings are to die for.

Great beer. Cocktails were made using their own spirits and different from your standard fare, although some were better than others. Pleasantly surprised by the banh mi pork sandwich and their coleslaw, great flavours and fresh read more

my wife and I decided to try the taphouse.She had been there,I had not because I don't frequent those places as I find them a bit trendy and trying too hard to be "IT".The place with the new booze.the best gin the best beer the best vodka.WAAAAA.Its alcohol tourism in my books.any way we went for late lunch.It wasn't busy by any means .the light went on.we sat down and there were menus on the table so we stared at them and it looked ok.we decided on our choices.the waitress came and informed us that was an alternate menu and we would probably change our selections.the new menu had a grand total of four items.fish tacos,a burger.and a couple other non-descript items.i opted for the burger.$16.00.and a beer sampler four 5 ounce tasters for $8.00.The food was served and i thought there had been a mistake.The so called burger was a bun, the meat patty and thin slice of cheese.Thats it!Oh.and a half a cup of some crunched up yucca chips.Such a rip! I grabbed the menu to see if I had indeed made a mistake.NOPE.$16 bucks the bun was porobably bought at the IGA for 69 cents.The beer was beer.I've been drinking it four 45 years so I can tell you it didnt light the lights by any means. read more
