Tap & Barrel • Olympic Village

I've only been here 4x since it's opening and it's been good every time. But this is the first time trying their Happy Hour menu. The fried chicken burger is juicy and soft. The maple chicken wings comes with bacon bits and goes so well with the pepperoni pizza! Pay $7 for 90min underground parking.

Only stopped in here for a quick drink and some carbs. We sat at the bar and had our order taken right away, got the drink mere seconds later and the waffle fries some moments later.nnWaffle fries were tasty, they come with a small dipping sauce that was tasty.nnThere is a nice seating area upstairs, we visited on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't busy, so it wasn't open. However, I bet it would be a great spot on a weekend night, it had some nice views.

Great spot for our first night in Vancouver!! Great food, service, and food. Highly recommend. Seachowder was amazing. Also great deal on 50% off wine selection.

Vanderpump vibes without Vanderpump service. Food and location are great. Interior is furthest thing from comfortable, would recommend cushions, booths, be seated lower to the ground to avoid feeling like I'm standing when I'm seated. I'm 6'1, this seating style may be a short person thing. Without the comfort, the minimalist style feels cheap and is perceived as bare minimum was done to open shop with minimal value to the customer. The patio, people watching, and alcohol would definitely aid in making you forget the comfort you deserve. PB&J burger went from being $16 before tax to $30 after tax to enjoy tater tots for a dollar extra and a glass of water. I understand inflation is a factor but for what it's worth we can do better with budget to bring value to the customer. Host was great, server took their time and engaged more talking with staff instead of taking our order. Food came quick and was presented well. Being 10 o'clock on a Monday night with two other tables being served more attention to accommodate guests could have been had.nnCompliments to the chef.

This was my second time experiencing their happy hour. I enjoyed their wine flight priced at $13, which was on tap and incredibly fresh. We also ordered ‘Truffle waffle fries’ and ‘Hummus with pita bread’ for food. Both dishes were fine, although I couldn’t actually taste the truffle in the sauce for the fries, and the hummus was a bit salty for my taste. It was right saltiness for my friend though.nnOverall, it’s a good spot for happy hour.
