About the restaurant

Bar Corso is more than just an apparition of Italian culture - it is the missing piece of Italian ethos on Vancouver's beloved Commercial Drive. Purposefully nestled into the heart of Little Italy, we are a tasting lounge, here for you to taste different regions of Italy through our cocktails, wines, grappa, Amari, and modern Cicchetti.

This is our 2nd time here this summer. Love this place. Service is super friendly. It gets a little noisy with bigger groups. We would definitely go again!

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, genuinely. We started with the milk bread, bone marrow, and laksa bombs. The dishes were all flavourful and presented beautifully. For our mains we had the beef rib and the uni soba. The star of the show were the beef ribs, they were fall off the bone tender.

It's a fun dining experience. Lots of creative skewers to choose from. Service is somewhat disjointed. Everyone can take orders, run drinks or food, take payments etc but they don't communicate with each other. Asked for water three times but never got it. But the people are pleasant and the vibe is good. Perhaps service is just inconsistent.

A classy and cultured yet approachable speakeasy cocktail bar tucked behind Hundy Burger and designed with some lively, tropical island vibes meets intoxicant stockroom. Clandestine libations and merrymaking.

Yaletown

About the restaurant

The Yaletown Brewing Company is Vancouver's original and best Brewpub. Founded in 1994, just as the former warehouse district of Yaletown was just beginning to emerge as a destination for businesses and residents, the YBC was built with the vision of being a true neighbourhood pub - a welcoming gathering place whether you arrived dressed in a suit or flip-flops.

With a 160-seat Restaurant and a lively Pub with TVs, a pool table, and a fireplace, YBC has become a one-stop destination for everything from large corporate events to quick after-work beers with the regulars.

Make your reservations today for our dining room; please note that all pub and patio seating is offered on a first come first serve basis.

Classic choice in the Yaletown area to get together with friends. The Nashville Hot Chicken was tasty, with notably good buns as well. Had a flight of beer to accompany it, which is good value for the 4x6 oz tasters. It is a bit on the pricier side.
