Menu
Chicken wings with Korean chili sauce were good. Sliders are good but might as well get a whole burger and fries.
Thank you for leaving us a great review ! Happy that you enjoyed the Korean wings ! Looking forward to you coming in again soon!
Great location. Excellent food. The apple tart dessert was amazing. Can sometimes be too loud inside but with COVID it was quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed my dinner a lot.
Thank you for the great rating Steve. We are so happy you enjoyed your experience and look forward to seeing you again soon!
We enjoyed our dinner and our server was GREAT! We did not appreciate being offered the back corner table. When greeted she began by saying... you requested a window table... then walked us to the furthest darkest corner table?? And asked is this OK?? The restaurant was not full we said no and she took us to a WINDOW TABLE!
After seated it was very nice!
Hi Sheila, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review regarding your experience. We are pleased to hear we were able to remedy your initial unwanted seating arrangement! Also happy you enjoyed the rest of your time and we look forward to that next visit!
Not really impressed with this location. It was New Years Eve and we had reservations. Restaurant was about 25% full so not busy at all. My wife and I were seated at a lower long table so we had to sit next to one another and basically this killed all atmosphere that an enjoyable dinner typically has. There were several booths and lounge tables available but I guess this was the assigned table for the reservation.
Service was slow but with no where to go we did wait it out. Food was sub par to what I was expecting and also overpriced. Pizza was over saused and under cooked.
I guess this should have been expected when I was able make reservations last minute...
I’ll perhaps try a different location in the future and see if it’s any better.
Ben the manager provided excellent and personalized customer service. We were seated in the "Barrel Room" which was quieter than the main restaurant. The food was lovely. Would recommend for groups, couples or individuals.
Thank you Kelsey for leaving a great review! Happy to read about your experience and how happy you were with everything. Looking forward to your next visit with us.
The food was delicious & the service was great, Tap & Barrel have really stepped up their game. They suggested some of their new menu items and they did not disappoint. The French Onion Sliders are one of the best sliders I’ve had. Our server and the manager were very friendly & helpful and their COVID procedures made us feel safe.
Hi! Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such an extensive and thoughtful review. We are so pleased you enjoyed our brand new menu items! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
The overall experience was good. Loved the local wild mushroom pizza. They no longer have chicken gyoza. Instead, they now have chicken pork gyoza. That was a bummer because we specially went for chicken gyoza. We've had it many times in past so wanted to try again.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Mayank! We are please you enjoyed your time and apologize for the inability to eat the Gyozas again due to a recipe change. We look forward to seeing you again to enjoy the rest of our menu offerings!
Great dinner and great atmosphere. Would definitely keep coming back
Thanks for leaving a great review Harper! We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Hi Amelia, Thanks for your wonderful feedback! We look forward to seeing you again with your friends too!

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review Cristina! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience and look forward to seeing you again soon!
We came at 6 and and stayed until 10. Service was fast and the wait staff was very attentive. Happy hour menu had good variety of options. Love the glass permanent dividers between booths, looks tasteful and not distracting.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and compliments on our glass dividers which we installed to keep everyone safe. We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience and we know we will see you again soon!
The worst fish n chips I have had , soggy and no taste
Overall had a great experience, they were able to accommodate our family of 6 to sit together and get a window seat on a busy Saturday night. The food and service was very good.
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for taking the time to leave a fantastic review. We are so happy your experience was all time and we look forward to your families next visit!
Loved the new Best of B.C. Menu!! Food and service were amazing.
Thanks for leaving a great review! SO happy you enjoyed our new menu items and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
We specifically reserved an outside table because of COVID. We arrived and were told we had to sit inside because they were closing the patio. Not acceptable at 6:30pm during the pandemic.
Great selection of appetizers to munch on while admiring the beauty of Coal Harbour and the North Shore. Our server was attentive, our drinks cold, and our food warm - great antidote to the COVID blahs
Thanks for leaving a great review Larry! We are so happy we were able to give you what you needed to fix your Covid woes. See you again soon!
the calamari starter is just amazing. my steak was tough but the hostess gave us a compliemenatry house dessert which was declicious. So in all a very pleasant evening. thanks!
Thanks for leaving a fantastic review Zinnia. We are so pleased you enjoyed your time with us and we look forward to your next visit!
The outdoor patio was closed but Justin and the server were very happy to help and let us sit outside. The drinks were great and the food was great! The service was fantastic! Will definitely be back!

Quick friendly attentive staff. They make you feel welcome and the food make you feel at home.
Thanks for leaving a great review and we look forward to your next visit!
I have to mention the felt the fish was over cooked. Tasty but was very dark. It looked like it was forgotten in the fryer . I was there a week or so ago and saw it passing us. It did not look burnt. The cod was tasty though. Being in the patio was nice and my 93 year old aunt enjoyed the view and the cod. Did it mention it to the waiter but should have but I did not want to wait to much longer. Thanks for checking in. 😷
Hi Matthew, We take all feedback very seriously and appreciate yours in regards to your fish looking darker than normal and the lack of a quality check on your meal. However, we are happy you enjoyed the patio and overall experience. We really look forward to seeing you again to have another crack at our Fish N Chips!
Server was very friendly, but forgot to ring in parts of our food order. Management did handle it very well. Gorgeous views. The wine by the glass list is better than most.
Hello! Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback. We are happy we were able to remedy our mistake quickly and ensure the rest of your experience was fantastic! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Good times nigh out with Execs
Thank you for leaving an excellent rating. We are happy you enjoyed your experience and know we will see you and your team again!
Lovely view. Good wine. Food could be better. Overall nice.
Thanks for leaving a great review and we look forward to your next visit!
I live close by and visit Tap and Barrel regularly! I’ve often enjoyed the service, the views and food there and that’s why I offered to celebrate my friend’s anniversary there. Unfortunately this time was a bit of disappointment.
Excellent in every way! Food and drink is top notch.
Thanks for leaving a fantastic review Katherine and we look forward to your next visit!
The brunch menu is not on the scanned menu.
The server messed up with order, but quickly resolved it.
Hi Ferdz, We are working with our programming team to be able to display our brunch menu on weekends digitally along side our regular menu selections! Due to this we follow strict protocols to ensure every menu that goes out has been sanitized thoroughly. We seriously appreciate your feedback, your patience and understanding. We look forward to hosting you again!
Love the outdoor experience you’ve created here and will be very sad when winter is here and we can’t dine outside! Felt so safe and distanced!
Hi! Thanks for leaving a great review. We are so happy your patio experience was awesome and felt extremely safe. Although we won't be able to replicate a patio experience this winter, we will continue to have our rigorous health and safety measures in place for our dining room. Looking forward to your next visit!
Great chicken strips and fries
The whole meal was good
Hi Alyssia, Thanks for leaving a fantastic review. We are excited your experience was wonderful and look forward to your next visit!
Everything was great but some of the utensils and plates were not properly cleaned. Besides that it was good food and ambiance
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Although we are very happy you enjoyed your experience, we are unsatisfied with you receiving utensils that were anything less than perfect. We take all feedback seriously, especially of this nature. We look forward to your next visit!
It was an overall good experience just a bit slow for our drink orders to come out
Hi Debbie, Thanks for leaving a great review. We look forward to improving your experience on your next visit!
My boyfriend and I had a great dinner!! I had been there before but it was his first time and he really enjoyed it. He had the pbj burger with fries and I had the chicken burger with fries. Both were really good and well cooked.
Hi Lauren, We are so happy you enjoyed your dinner and overall experience! Thank you for leaving a review and we look forward to hosting you for another pleasant evening soon!
Had a great time on their patio with my dog (dog friendly patio). Great service and food was good too. Would come here again. Oh I love how the hostess noticed my dogs due and decide to move me to a more shaded area. Wish I got her name cos she took the time to notice details and made a decision without me needing to make the request.
Hi! We love dogs as much as you do as well as the opportunity to have ample space to host you and your pups. We are so happy our team was able to accommodate and go beyond to make sure you and your dog had an amazing experience!
Very great area looking over the ocean, food and service were on par
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Tatum. We are excited your experience was all time and look forward to your next visit!
Fun. Thanks
Thanks for leaving a great rating! We will see you again soon!
Reserved seating on patio deck and it was fantastic on a sunny day overlooking the water. Service with a smile and courteous. Food looked good and tasted just as good. Social distancing was in place and overall a good experience during this time.
Thanks for leaving a super review Cynthia. We are glad your experience was top notch this visit! We look forward to continuing this excellence when we see you again, hopefully before patio season is over!
Our server was amazing. The reservation process is very convenient. Location is beautiful.
Thanks for leaving a great review Payton! We are so excited your experience was top notch. Looking forward to your next visit while there's still some patio season left!
It was a little bit dark in the evening, they can use some candles.
Hello! Thank you for your recommendation. We take all feedback seriously and this is a great and simple one. Happy you enjoyed yourself otherwise on the patio. Looking forward to your next visit!
Great location, receptionist was flexible in getting us a patio waterfront seating.
Hi Benny, Thank you for the review and we look forward to your next visit!
Beautiful spot. Nice staff. Food was nothing special. Beers were pricey but I guess that comes with the location.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review Anthony. We appreciate your feedback with regards to our food and beers. We look forward to your next visit on the patio!
