Yagger's - Vancouver

When birthday season comes, there 's always a scramble for a place with enough seating. (Yes, I live in a universe where the motto is 'the more, the merrier ' . For the past years, I 've tried The Hub and Yaletown Brewing at Yaletown and Tap and Barrel at Olympic Village, which have been great places (if you 're looking for a pub for a big gathering . The last birthday was held in Yaggers Downtown. <br/ <br/ Food/Drinks: Some of the better pub food I 've eaten. Would reco whatever you find interesting on their menu. We ordered quite a bit and they were all pretty good. We had the albacore tuna wonton tacos, which were crisp and refreshing. (an outlier for greasy pub food . <br/ <br/ Ambience: Well, it doesn 't stand out ambience wise. Tap and Barrel was more sophisticated. Yaggers is more of a sports bar, with big tv screens and a bar or drinks. <br/ <br/ Service: Really good. Our server came into the room quite regularly to ask if we had additional drink or food orders. And super kudos to her, especially as it was all separate bills and everyone was moving around. <br/ <br/ BONUS: They have a private room at the back of the pub for big groups. AND IT 'S FREE. You just have to call in and fill in a reservation form. <br/ <br/ Transport: Take the Canada Line, get down at waterfront station and you could either walk or take a bus. I would recommend walking though. It 's about a 10 minute walk and the way there is peppered with other cafes/restos you can note for next time 's food adventure.

This is a great place to relax and hang out and their back room is mega spacious. I was there as part of a Meetup event that went on till late at night and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Beer prices were not bad, either! Definitely recommended.

Some places have daily food specials, so if there's something you are interested in, or if you feel the regular prices there are daunting, you can try going on a particular day. Yagger's Downtown has a special every day, and on Wednesdays it is Pulled Pork Tacos at $2.29 each with purchase of a drink.

A bit loud, but the food is good. It's a nice place to hangout and get some drinks. They have a large backroom with a projector and speakers. It's perfect for meetings and parties. I volunteer with a local NGO and yaggers has been very accomodating. I would recommend getting the cow burger at this place. It's delicious.

Great bar!. I stopped here on Friday, November 16th on a weekend trip to Vancouver. We arrived around 11 pm and stayed until 1 am. It was fairly busy but the server brought our beers quickly. The service was also friendly and we were made to feel welcome. There were televisions everywhere for those into sports. The crowd was lively and we enjoyed our visit. We stayed at the Ramada next door and it was convenient to have such a great bar so close.
