It's January, its pouring out and my girlfriend takes me to Horseshoe Bay. She brings me to this bar. It was was warm, inviting, in the afternoon many Boomer age people inside, playing classic rock for music. Service was reasonsbly swift with drinks, I ordered a quesadilla, she orders a burger and my husband had steak and eggs. Food was good and reasonsbly priced . I'd like to come back in the summer and see this place when its not cold and raining.

It’s Pub food. Nothing special. On the other hand I have nothing bad to say. The view is outstanding, service was good. It’s a busy place so it must appeal to the average person. I was just looking for higher quality food.

Had a pretty good lunch here. But they need to stop with the shredded iceberg lettuce (soggy, no taste or nutrition), and come up with a dressing that makes sense for the tuna salad (which was otherwise tasty).

West Vancouver’s Troller Ale House, located steps away from the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal, is a good place to get a bite to eat, also offering a good selection of beers and two good desserts.
I came into the terminal after 8 weeks on Vancouver Island, needing a meal & a good brew or two.
It has a great playlist with the classics — Queen et al.
I had on tap The 101 Tall Faller IPA, a craft beer from nearby Gibsons. A pint is 8.75$
Its yellowfin tuna burger was just nicely seared & served with fries @ 20$.
I ended with lava cake with vanilla ice cream @ 12$
It is open daily from 11 am to 10 pm, with a HH from 2 to 5pm.
Peter is the bartender. He looked after me well. His colleague, Meg was also helpful & friendly.

This house was founded in 1978, I discovered it in the 90s. In 2013 they moved to its current location, with a beautiful view of Horseshoe Bay.
The furniture is vintage, very interesting, heavy, made of hardwood, which gives the place a special charm.
I ordered linguine with shrimp, which was truly delicious. The draft beer, a Czechoslovakian lager, was one of the best I've ever had. My wife ordered a regular house wine.
Modest prices.

Mediocre food and service. The soup of the day was okay, but the chicken wings were not even remotely crispy. The bahn Mi tacos were tasty but overpriced for a small portion. Our server misunderstood our order and the food runner brought us food we hadn’t ordered. Waters were forgotten, and no one came to check on how the food was throughout the meal, despite it not being terribly busy either. All and all, not a place we will be returning to.

After 30 years, two Scottish high school friends met up here. Great beers, great food and fantastic views and service. We were made to feel very welcome and spent a few hours happily catching up on their deck looking out into the sound.

Great spot for the soup and sandwich special. Fantastic bread, good amount of toppings and tasty soup that tasted homemade. Really appreciate the reasonable price as well. They have some great craft beers on tap too.

Tyler was the best! We stopped by quickly to get some amazing food before hoping on the ferry. We had some drinks while waiting for the food. It was a very amazing experience. Tyler is the best. :)

We felt like a drink and some snacks so we decided on this place. We had onion rings and Brussel sprouts. The dip for the onion rings was good but the Brussel sprouts were very good(we are going to steal this recipe). The drinks were good and the service as well. It is one of the cheaper places in the area and has a great view.

We stopped in on our way up to Whistler and were very pleasantly surprised! The food was great (Burger, French Dip type sandwich and a salad) and the service even better. Horseshoe Bay is a cool little village and the Trolls have good food! Thanks!

The pub looks a little tired.Service was good.The menu was filthy.The food was marginal,, theburger was overdone, dry and the sauce was the size of a quarter.The fries were ok and large portion.The seafood chowder was bland.The craft beer was very good as well as the service.Hopefully they will clean up and improve the food as it is a great location across from the water
