Reviews for Tap & Barrel • Bridges in Vancouver, BC
Great location just off the ferry terminal in Granville Island. Beautiful views especially if you sit outside. The food is just... okay. Nothing special. The service is verrry slow. It took them 15 minutes yo serve water and more than 30 minutes to servefood. Read more
Great location (patio) and beautiful views, great food and service! Went to Granville Island for a date and flexible dinner... plans. We decided to check out tap and barrel without reservations, the wait wasn't too long and it looked like the patio wasfull. The initial table we were taken to was indoors but before we even sat down the waitress asked if we would prefer anoutside seat seeing as the weather was good, we said sure. She went and looked and was able to seat us outside. The views weregreat and the service was excellent! We ordered the chicken pesto pasta and the drink I don't remember but it had a hint ofpepper that I was wary of but was actually delicious. Read more
Good service and location, some of the food was great while some was ok. We had the Cajun chicken burger which wasn't spicy... enough but good flavor and the poke bowl which was awesome. The kids had a quesadilla and a cheese pizza, the quesadilla wasgreat while the pizza was bland and way too big for a kid. Overall we liked it and will come back maybe the next time we cometo Granville Island! Read more
Signing up for the waitlist online really helped. The food was excellent. Truly delicious. Everyone in my party cleaned their... plate. Busy place, so the service was a touch slow but the food was great. Wonderful dinner option if you are looking forsomewhere to go with variety enough for everyone. Read more
Starting off with the views from the restaurant they’re amazing. We were sat outside so it was nice and quiet. Our server was... also very sweet and the service was pretty quick. I loved the overall vibe of the place. For my main I ordered the Cajunchicken burger with a side of truffle waffle fries. The food was good but it was a little too salty, not sure if it’s alwayslike this. It was the same case for my parents they got the halloumi veg sandwich and the chickpea veggie burger. For dessert Igot the chocolate peanut butter cup which was so good but very heavy and filling. I never got a chance to try any of theirseasonal cocktails but they looked so good. I hope to come back soon and be able to try them. Read more

I’m not quite sure why this place has 4 stars because frankly my experience did not reflect that. Read on to see why. We came... for dinner and we didn’t wait too long, perfect. Front staff was friendly. Got sat down, waited 10 mins, someone brought usour water (not our server), we ordered our drinks. Waited another 20 mins, bartender brought our drinks. Our server did notgreet us yet (in the end, they never did). We asked the bartender who our server was and the bartender ended up taking our order(which he just told the server and the server punched it in). We see our server walk around us, greet other guests (that got satafter us) and helped every other table around us. The first time our server spoke to us, was to ask us how the food was 10 minsafter we started eating, which was super awkward. Try to flag someone down so we could talk to the manager, too difficult to do,we were fed up, and paid our bill digitally (thank you for that option) and left. Food was mediocre. I had the truffle onionburger with fries, and it was good but not amazing. The flight of beer was refreshing. And the Peppercorn steak, was the worstwe had. I would never order a steak from here again seeing the price, the cut and lack of taste. They also don’t havealternative veggies besides the seasonal. We asked for double mashed instead (don’t like the asparagus, thought to explain thepicture). TLDR: service was terrible, food was mediocre for the price, I wouldn’t go back again unfortunately. If you want aview, I’d recommend another restaurant on Granville. Other notes: We visited on a busy Tuesday night, the place was prettymuch full and alive. Great vibes and I great accommodation for large groups (I assume because I saw many). There was a line butgot sat quickly because we opted for indoor seating. 20-25 min wait for outdoor seating on a Tuesday night around 7pm. Read more
