The Pint Public House

Now I’m giving this 4 stars for the food, atmosphere, and the amazing attention the on duty manager gave us. But the service? Horrendous.
We came in to watch football on a Sunday, for a game that filled the whole place up! There were eight easy going people at our table. First we made the reso for 8 under the big tv in the front, somehow our reso got changed to 20 (???) on the side with the small tv’s. Not sure where that error came but they were happy to fix but put us on the back side and not where we originally requested. No big deal. But the server on that side was where it went down hill fast. Our server had no idea what the specials were, forgot who ordered what drinks and I’m not sure if she was currently high or super hung over but it was bad enough that one of the guys went and spoken with the manager. She was in a total fog and only had three tables. The manager was amazing and understood the situation and was not happy with her since we were there to spend money and watch the game. It took over an hour to get a food order in. After speaking to him he sent her home and we got a new server who was great! The food was enormous portions which could not be finished and were so tasty. The drinks were great and well priced.
Although the the server was bad it’s not keeping us out of this place!

This place is nuts on a weekend evening. It’s packed with all kinds of people. You’ve got every type of group: those that want to keep to themselves, those that want to party, those that have partied way too hard already and are clearly drunk out of their minds and possibly high. I watched as two male friends got into an altercation near the bar. Their yelling led to one of the friends chocking the other, just to let go and calm down. A few minutes later they were hugging each other and laughing. But, it’s a popping bar late at night. What do you expect? Security is roaming and does a great job at keeping party goers safe. I never once felt uncomfortable and was happily able to enjoy my own business.
That business of course was wings and beer.
We opted for the platter which was a great deal: $ 29 for wings, boneless wings and sliders, all covered in nachos and fries. It also comes with a dip of your choice and some carrots and celery sticks. We opted for two pounds of regular wings, instead of the boneless wings, and they were happy to substitute. We also got a pitcher of Kokanee for just over $ 15. Not a bad deal at all.
Our server was great and checked up on us regularly. The wings were pretty decent and we really enjoyed all the options in the platter. We’ll definitely be back the next time we want to fill up on junk without breaking the bank.

At the beginning of our bar hopping, we hopped in here for some drinks. It was very cold outside, and we spotted this place first among others.
It was packed inside, so we decided to sit at the bar. We were attended to right away, and we ordered some redbull vodkas. The drinks were alright, but the highlight of this place was our friendly bartender.
She chatted with us quite a bit. She gave us pointers on where to go as far as good clubs, and good places to eat. She also told us which other Canadian cities to go to as far as nightlife. So now my buddy and I have Montréal in our sights.
The bar has an interesting décor, and has plenty of flat panel TVs to catch hockey games.
The patrons here were pretty cool as well, mostly locals going out to have drinks with friends.
Overall a good experience, check out this gem for a start of your night out.

I have been going to The Pint since the day it opened, but I will not go there any more. The beer is good, the happy hour wings are great. The service is also good, when there are enough servers. However lately every time I go to happy hour the service has been so bad that I have had to leave. The manager there must be labouring under the illusion of a false economy. maybe they just can not afford to hire more people, I do not know. What I do know is that I go there to drink, and the past 4 times I have gone there I have left angry, sober and thirsty.

Your happy hour isn’t very happy? why don’t you have happy hour «drink specials»? I don’t want chicken wings with every drink order!
I usually drink at least 3 drinks for happy hour. But at the pint you have to pay full price $ 8.04 for 1515 plus taxes. That’s double the price everywhere else?
I went with a friend and ordered 3 beers each total bill was $ 38.05 before tip? it wasn’t packed and the service wasn’t great.
I’ll never go there again for «happy not happy hour drink special’s»

Super disappointed in last nights Halloween event. Bought tickets online and arrived at 10pm, waited in line for over two hours in the pouring rain before getting inside. Staff were rude and unprofessional. Will not be attending another event here in the future. The pint has always been reliable in the past but last night was a huge let down.

Tuesday night and it was packed. The food was good and the atmosphere was even better.

Went to watch rugby on Saturday. No atmosphere, crappy service and so so food. Wish we had go e to library square like our friends they had an amazing time

A taste of Fort McMurray in January, right here in Vancouver! Overpriced mediocre bar fare — clearly everything is coming out of a freezer or jar. (Menu does mention their «hand-​tossed lettuce» so at least the kitchen staff aren’t cyborgs.) I ordered the steak tacos, which were dreadful. The meat was dry, tough, and mostly gristle, likely steak trimmings from the day before.
Considering that the food ranges from standard to bad, the prices are much too high: Nachos start at $ 13, and don’t include meat or guacamole. Want the large nachos? $ 22. With guacamole and meat, that means $ 29. For nachos. Ridiculous, even by Vancouver standards.
We were on the lower level, which did feature more TV’s than I’ve ever seen in a sports bar. So if you’re looking to watch a game or UFC, you could count on a good view of the action regardless of where you’re sitting. I still wouldn’t go back.

Definitely a fan and promoter of their happy hour — and who wouldn’t be: 1 Pint of Beer gets you a free ($ 11) pound of wings!!!
No surprise that this screamin’ deal had the house completely slammed but the servers were managing. My server was friendly and despite her only being there for a week showed no signs of being a rookie.
I was almost denied a second pound of wings as we approached the 6 PM cutoff which I cannot fault them for at all but they pulled through and provided the awesome food! I was genuinely please with the entire experience.
I would recommend showing up just after 4 if you’d like good seats for this happy hour deal otherwise you may get shunted to the basement!

Eh. I heard about this place through coworkers who raved about it. Then again, that might have been because they went at night to party, not to have a sit down meal.
I went here on a weeknight and it was jam packed. Turns out there was a concert at Rogers Arena that night. No big deal, we managed to find a little table and within half an hour most of the place was empty. I ordered pita bread with a trio of dips and a strawberry salad. It was just okay. Not terrible, but not exactly something to write home about.
I’ve had better pub food for better prices. The décor is walls covered completely with pictures of random people and things. Maybe it’s better as a place to party. I don’t really have any aching desire to go back to find out though.

Meh. Shitty beer selection, and my food was poor. Ordered the Cheesesteak, but I think they forgot the steak. It was pretty much peppers floating in cheese on a bun. And I think the tomato soup was just a blended tomato.
Plenty of creativity when it came to the bill though. They don’t miss you there.

I have to admit they have nice cheap wings on wings wednesday. I went yesterday April 29, 2015 and the place was packed. This doesn’t happen often. So I guess once in awhile the place can get pretty busy. Atmosphere is very casual. Walk in and just seat yourself. Waitress are pretty friendly there. It is located in a very lively neighborhood.
I love their wings. They have lots of choices and are $ 4 per pound on Wednesday. Not soggy but just right. You have to ask for the dipping or else they will assume you don’t want any.
I have had burger there and its ok. nothing too special.
I will be coming back for sure :-)

In Vancouver for the night and dropped in to watch the Canucks game. The place was packed and the atmosphere was great. The bartender took our order as soon as we sat down. Had a few drinks and an order of fries, the fries were good! Appreciated the quick service, especially on such a busy night.

Great food, great service, great atmosphere.
Hannah was an awesome server, quick and polite!
Fun place to be before a game, after a game or really anytime!

I really liked how the bar was laid out, I think I may of gone at a horrible time. Right after a Canucks game, and UFC fights were on that night. So much testosterone flying in the air.
The downstairs gets extremely hot very fast. There is NO air flow, and I am surprised they did not have any AC going (or maybe they do not have any). Up stairs is were all the 19 years old go and hangout.
Men’s bathroom like nay club scene got destroyed upstairs, someone threw up in the urinal, clogged the urinal and water was everywhere, and no one came and cleaned it up (kind of gross).
I did not try any food, my group got some grub, but I do not think they were too overwhelmed by it.

I spent over $ 400 in alcohol at this establishment and couldn’t get a buzz. One of the worst pours I have ever had, every drink in the small cups which gets spilled out with the tight crowds of people pushing you on your way back to the table which was «chilled» mixed with water as their preferential delivery method. That’s a good way to make lots of money on little alcohol and to keep the orders coming.
The downstairs area became very hot quick like they turn off the AC when they convert from restaurant to night club. The table we sat at had a strobing light in which they made a light effort to fix and then said. meh, whatevers.
The upstairs area turned very full and young. A bit rude here when it gets late which was a reality check since everyone was so darn Canadian friendly during the dinner hour.
I would recommend people go to this place for fun events or dinner and then get the heck out!

Fun atmosphere but not good enough to justify the prices. I was amazed to discover on a recent visit that a pint here will set you back $ 8.50, which is one of the most expensive beers I’ve had in Vancouver (and it’s not even like it’s craft beer or anything exotic).
The cocktails are okay but always have a watered-​down feel to me. In fact a recent Vancouver Sun article uncovered that The Pint was not at all living up to its name — they were regularly under-​pouring their beers. I’m not sure whether this has changed since then, but nevertheless I can’t help but feel like I’m being somewhat ripped off when I come here.
The food is okay — pretty standard stuff to munch on while pursuing the primary goal of getting drunk.
The atmosphere is always busy and fun on evenings and weekends, so it’s a good place to hang out before going to a hockey game etc. Other than that, there are way nicer bars in the area that offer better value.

POOR SERVICE — There was no one by the front counter to assist us. We had to look at the reservation sheet ourselves to find where our party was and when we couldn’t locate our party, that’s when we approached 5 servers just chatting away by the bar. We asked if someone could give us some service and the lady quickly assumed it was for a small table just for us until we told them we are here for a Birthday. It’s pretty sad if you have to ask a server for their time.
INEXPERIENCED SERVER/​SLOW SERVICE — Our server for our party table was new. She said it was only her second shift. She seemed a bit stressed out and barely checked up on us. It was more of a waiting game where we had to wait for her to pass by and try to grab her attention. We couldn’t believe that they would give a fairly large party to someone who is just in training. She didn’t know most of the items on the menu so she couldn’t really make any recommendations or tell you how it is.
We only had 2 menus for a group of 17 people. We had to grab our own menus (self-​serve right there!). We asked for a couple glasses of water which took years to come. Another friend of mine had to remind the server that we are still waiting on our water.
On their website, they stated that you get 20% off if you are in a group of 10+ people. We told our server this ahead of time prior to ordering and she said no but she will check with her manager to make sure. She comes back saying her manager said no but they can give 20% to the Birthday person. Okay, now we have FALSE ADVERTISEMENT which can turn into a pretty serious issue but luckily she made the adjustments in the end by reprinting us new receipts with the discount. Companies should never advertise anything on your website if you can’t keep your words AND make it clear that it only applies to food not the entire bill. (

FOOD — We ordered the mushroom burger $ 15. I would probably pay $ 5 not $ 15. It was just a patty, few mushrooms, and CAMPBELL’S CREAM OF MUSHROOM as the sauce?! Yes, of course I know what Campell Cream of Mushroom tastes like, I had a lot of that in my childhood days. Any way, the sauce made the bun all soggy. It was messy to eat. If I’m paying $ 15, I expect higher quality food comparable to Tap & Barrel. Poor presentation! Everything was just thrown on a white plate like eating at a cafeteria.
Their wings were tiny (I rather go to Wild Wings), nachos were stale. Fries was the decent item they had. Drinks tasted watered down.
Overall — poor service (expect for long waits/​constantly reminding to server), poor qualify of food that is not worth the price.
I understand this is pub food and I shouldn’t be expecting too much but I’ve been to better pubs with much more satisfying food, drinks, and service so of course I have expectations.

The drinks are a little watered down… (I got a whiskey sour cocktail), but I love how convenient it is to get to from Stadium sky train, and the food came EXTREMELY fast after we ordered, and who likes to wait for their food? No one! Especially not me! I was very pleased with how speedy the service was, and my pulled pork tacos were supposed to be appetizer sized but I had it all to myself and it was enough to be a substantial entrée. I found my tacos to be very flavourful and filling. I checked out their website and it says they have cheap specials everyday (except for sat) and they also have happy hour from 3 – 6 mon-​fri. A pound of wings and a pint of beer for 6.75? what a deal! I wanna be back to try the wings cuz I hear great things about them.
The only thing that put me off about this place was that the server asked us «Do you have anywhere to go? I’ll get your bill ready.»… The way she said it seemed as if she was trying to rush us out of the place, which is rather annoying when you want to just chill and chat with your friends. We still took our time after the bill came though because we were clearly not ready to leave yet! I think I’ll come back because there are tons of places to sit and the food comes really fast. Next time I’ll check it out during the later hours on the weekend when they make room for a dance floor!
