On the Grid : Yaletown Brewing Company

"Yaletown's iconic brew pub is still going strong, recently adding a liqour store, micro distillery and a new distillery pub to its flagship pub / restaurant. At the original location, the casual atmosphere is inviting to all, as evidenced by the diverse crowd at all times of day. It is brighter and more open than your typical pub, reliably blasts classic guitar rock, and boasts one of the best patios in town. The beer is great, of course, but so is the food. Featuring a long list of pub faves, including a fantastic chicken schnitzel sandwich, gooey mac and cheese (add the bacon) and a great assortment of pizzas (our picks are the Johnny Mac and grilled shrimp). Sunday lunch is a great deal - $10 thin-crust pizza and $4.50 pint. Can't beat that." - Becki Chan & Milos Begovic
