    Always a great feed here! Love the slow cooked brisket and the pulled pork Mac and cheese is a winner! Great place to go before the hockey game

    Chose this restaurant after spotting it in a write up in the hotel room magazines. It was exactly what my wife and I were looking for, in regards to setting, vibe, and food quality. Service was excellent, and we left very satisfied with the entire experience. Next time we're in Vancouver we will definitely go there again.

    Delicious barbeque, sides to die for, and a huge beer menu, all wrapped in a beautiful dark bar setting. We'll be back:)

    We've been a few time for happy hour. The staff here are great and the selections for happy hours are limited but good. The beer selection is diverse if you like Howe Sound Brewery.. which we do.... Will be back, already made reservations.

    I'm writing this because there isn't anywhere in the survey to comment on the beer there was only talk of food and ambience. The beer is the best part of this place if you like good beer this is the place for you.

    Was looking for a pre-Foo Fighters concert stop to fuel up, and not many places around would take a res for only 2 people. Devil's E was more than obliging and what a great find. Amazing place- my new go to. Cool vibe, great staff, no pretentious bits, though clearly its a popular after work place for suits. Great beer-bourbon-bacon combos for $13 bucks. Can't beat it with a stick. Brisket Nachos are to die for. Went back after the Foos for a night cap and snack. Can't wait for next opportunity to go back. Thanks Devil's E!!! Will recommend to EVERYONE I know.

    Went for a pre-whitecaps drink and appy with 3 other friends. When the food runner brought my friends meat purses he spilled the highly staining sauce on his whitecaps jersey. He helped blot it off a little, when he came back again my friend had realized that there was another spot and food runner accused him of purposely spilling it on himself rather than just take responsibility. After this the server just made excuses that the food runner was new/young. Is that our problem? Doesn't help my friend with his ruined jersey much does it? Finally we spoke to the manager and he was professional and agreed to pay the dry cleaning bill ..etc. Not much fun to have to cause a scene because staff ruin your clothes and then accuse you, and make excuses.

    A great location in the old Chambar. The Mac n' cheese appetizer was excellent (and huge). Our mains were not. We had the fried chicken (very bland but with delicious cream corn), smoked chicken sandwich (very very dry) and pulled pork sandwich. None of us was impressed with the meals. Great craft beer list. Would be good for snacks and beer. Probably won't go again. There's too much great food in this neighbourhood to waste a meal.

    It was quiet as it was a Tuesday, but the bar seemed like it would have a great atmosphere when busier. The food was delicious and great for sharing.

    2nd time here. Ordered brisket sandwich . Two criticisms. Thin cut meat and not enough of it. A brisket sandwich shaved thin does not a bbq lover satisfy. Neither fall apart nor caramel crusted it felt like overdone roast beef. Go for the 5$ more option and enjoy the real deal entree.
