Stanley Park Brewing Restaurant & Brewpub

After a extremely disappointing cheese burger and a 45 minute wait for a table for 3 (cold burger with processed American cheese for $15 dollars!!??) I was thinking the worst about this place. I was so happy to finally have a brewery downtown and was feeling defeated. However.... my awesome server Megan turned it all around!! She was attentive, funny, quick, and super helpful. She did not make my pay for the bad burger and she brought me some tofu tacos instead, way better!! I will be trying Stanley Park Brewing another time now :)

I initially gave the restaurant three stars for a mediocre meal when they'd first opened but then gave it another go. The kitchen has evidently come in to their own - the fish tacos and chicken burger were fantastic! Tons of flavor and good portions. Our server Patricia was friendly and attentive, and gave great recommendations. Will definitely be back!

Unlike what the first reviewer stated, there are beers brewed right on the premise. They are clearly marked as such on the menu. Great location, beautiful wooden tables and bar. The beer planks are great and so are the Chicken wings. Cheers!

This place is great and so important for our West End neighbourhood. It is a huge space, with so many seating options, but there is a caveat. Showing up on a beautiful day will not get you a table. It’s just the novelty and that there is nothing like that around. I’ve loved all my visits so far. Good beer, especially the small batch experimental ones, friendly staff, and good food.

The only question I have is what is this place - a craft brewery or a sit down restaurant? I think many locals expect it to be a small craft brewery, or a pub, which does not turn away walk-in patrons because half of the space is always reserved. I believe many locals, and tourist don’t expect to show up enough to make a reservation. They just decide to try it when they’re around.

My friends and I have been turned away too, but the place was half empty at the time, expecting a big group to arrive. We just wanted a beer being thirst after some rounds of golf, would have been done in 30 minutes. I believe none of the small breweries in town would allow this to happen. It’s not possible to make a reservation in most of them, and that’s the way to keep the place filled with people and making it work for everyone. On the other hand, if you are a sit down reataurant, don’t pretend to be a pub or brewery. Just my thoughts, otherwise the place is clean, nice and worth visiting.

Went for lunch on Saturday. Loved it. We sat outside. Don't care for the bench seating but there are lots of tables and chairs to sit at as well. It's beautiful inside. Give it a chance for Pete's sake. It's brand new and just opened. Lovely to have in our backyard. Will definitely be be back.
