Gastown

About the restaurant

Since we first opened in 1995, Steamworks has been a favourite of Vancouver locals and visitors alike. Whether you're joining us for lunch, a drink after work, or a group dinner with friends and colleagues, we're honoured to have you with us.

Steamworks gets its name from the famous Gastown steam line that runs through our premises. Our onsite brewery uses steam to fire its kettles. The instant heat of steam allows for greater brewing finesse, and most importantly great tasting beer. Whether you're in the mood for a thirst quenching Lions Gate® lager, or a full bodied HeriocaTM Oatmeal Stout, we've got a beer to please your palate.

Very good ambiance - pub feel. Very good food. Pretzel is excellent and huge. Burger and fish n chips were great. Our server was great. One thing to be aware of for people who have mobility challenges is restrooms are on the lower level.

Breakfast

Coal Harbour

About the restaurant

Since 1975, this popular breakfast, brunch and lunch spot has satisfied the hunger cravings of British Columbians thanks to a tasty menu of sweet and savoury treats. Arrive hungry and order the signature Dutch Pannekoek, which tastes similar to a North American pancake but is only slightly thicker than a crepe. Fun fact: the large pannekoek can be cut into 113 square one-inch bites. Popular toppings for this substantial meal include The Canadian with bacon, eggs, tomatoes and maple syrup, and The Trail Mix with trail mix, honey and hot cinnamon-dusted apples. Located in the Convention Centre West, the Burrard Landing location offers stunning views of Stanley park and the North Shore.

Chop Steakhouse & Bar Coal Harbour offers a remarkable steak dining experience, with views of Cruise Ships and the North Shore Mountains. Located near the West Convention Centre, this spot seems perfect for both business meals and casual enjoyment.

The service with Theo was fantastic and the food was worth the value considering location and quality. I'm surprised that we were able to be seated with a beautiful view, despite how busy it was. I appreciate the lengths that Hook goes to in order for their guests to have a fun and enjoyable experience.

Granville Island

About the restaurant

Located on the waterfront where Granville Island faces the city, guests can enjoy panoramic views across False Creek to the world-famous cityscape of Yaletown and beyond to the mountains of the North Shore.

The open dining room is relaxed yet refined, wrapped in spectacular floor to ceiling windows, while the lounge offers warm intimate surroundings for evening cocktails.

The award-winning seasonal patio (patio closed October to March) catches sunlight from morning to afternoon and is an oasis of calm, disturbed only by the occasional sound of boats making their way along False Creek.

Whether dining inside or outside the views are stunning!

About the restaurant

Founded in 2006 as Mahony & Sons, we operate two locations in Vancouver at the Convention Centre West and False Creek and recently transitioned to our new ‘Mahony’s Tavern’ brand that better reflects our long history as a cornerstone of the Vancouver hospitality scene. Both locations are prized for their expansive dining rooms, private group spaces and patios, all of which offer views that showcase the picture-perfect views of the ocean, mountains and cityscapes for which Vancouver is famously known.

Perfect for any group occasion — or no occasion at all — our new food menu focuses on classic West Coast fare and offers a wide array of shareable snacks, seafood dishes, artisan hand-tossed pizzas, fresh salads and bowls and gourmet handhelds. Our beverage menu highlights some of the very best craft beer and wine from BC’s own backyard and well beyond its borders, in addition to classic cocktails, ciders, seltzers and more.
