We met another couple of good friends for Happy Hour. We enjoyed the shaded patio with a fabulous view and our meals were delicious. The clubhouse sandwich with fries was excellent - fresh and tasty.

Coal Harbour

About the restaurant

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.
Chop was created for people who love sharing, connecting and everything steak. We are proud to offer a menu that shares our commitment to sustainable beef sourcing, serving high-quality cuts of 100% Canadian beef. It isn’t just the meat that’s special – it’s also how we cook it. Our Montague broiler cooks at up to 1800 °F, giving a beautiful crust and flavour to every steak! We slow roast our prime rib in a humidity-controlled oven, keeping it mouth-watering and tender. And we put this level of care into each of our hand-crafted drinks, and from-scratch dishes, including plant-based and seafood options, with something for everyone to enjoy. Open for lunch, happy hour, dinner and late-night!

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.
