What travellers are saying
- Daniel TommVancouver, Canada12 contributionsIts very beautiful garden , been here twice this times. When the spring just start to come and once again, in the middle of the spring. Both is beautiful give different ambienceWritten October 7, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Julia JNashville, TN193 contributionsTook a quick trip to Granville Island and walked into this wonderful place. The décor is awesome and the drinks are even better. You have the opportunity buy a flight and try all of their spirits. I didn't have time to do that but I recommend it. I tried the Rose Colored Glasses.Written May 3, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Where_to_travel_nextVancouver, Canada4,382 contributionsTry this place for a most unique experience for an intimate session listening to local jazz monthly. It's like being in a loving room and you get served tea and a cookie at intermission.Written December 5, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rosanne MSaffron Walden, UK28 contributionsWe wanted to try a baseball game experience during a recent visit to Vancouver - there was a great atmosphere at the Nat Bailey Stadium. The Vancouver Canadians put on a great show!
Family friendly atmosphere, easy to get drinks and snacks during the game too. We travelled via the Skytrain and the stadium was easy to find.Written August 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- colormysocks1 contributionSuch a great food tour. Manuela was exceptional as a guide and made the experience so positive. We appreciated how in depth she went about some of the shops/owners histories and how helpful she was when we had any questions.
The food was delicious and we were so full at the end! Some favorites were the chai latte, macarons, and the pad see ew. Would love to come back and try the other tours as well!Written March 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- orion0116Calgary, Alberta58 contributionsJust up the hill from the Hornby seabus stop, you’ll find the most delightful distillery tucked away in a small spot. The proprietors are friendly, the drinks are creative and refreshing, and if you were looking for special gin, special tonic, or some great Christmas presents, check them out!Written May 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cam pCalgary, Canada32 contributionsAmazing day on the water with Austin, who showed a couple first timers the incredible Fraser River sturgeon fishery. A hard working guide who knows how to get on the fish and show his guest a great time. Enjoyed by everyone.....we will definitely be back with this group. Thank you!Written May 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Philip GTristan da Cunha1,273 contributionsI like the concept, and the people who work here are very kind. As a venue, the acoustics could be better, but food, liquor and the bands are all good. However, I am now old. I don’t feel old, and I don’t act old, but age tapped me on the shoulder when I wasn’t looking. There was a band we wanted to hear on Friday night. We stood on line over 45 minutes, and my body was in pain, and my wife was looking at me with her death stare. After 50 minutes, we ditched and went to L’Abattoir for drinks.
Saturday night we went back and we were able to wait on the patio. That was infinitely better, but the band lacked energy for some reason, and some bad dancers detracted from listening to the band. We will try to get into Guilt & Co. tonight, before or after our dinner at St. Lawrence. It’s all a crap shoot, but for me, I can wait in a line maybe 15 minutes. That’s why Guilt & Co gets four rather than five stars.Written June 26, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
