craft beer market

beers beers and more beers.  food is also pretty good, but the interesting cafeteria style atmosphere with a beer list that has you comingbackwill have you competing to have your name on the keg of fame on the wall. great gimmick, awesome staff.

don't try to make a reservation. i tried to make a reservation for mothers day in what i thought was plenty of time. 5 days in advance. i tried phoning but was told to email. so i emailed and after waiting for a day for a reply they said there was a time available and i was fine with the time but if there was a better time please let me know. a day later they said they had a better time and to getbackto them and they will confirm. i replied immediately to tell them to book me in and waited for a confirmation. so now it is friday and still had not heard from them so i sent another email asking for a confirmation. hours later they gotbackto me and was told that they are now full there is no room left and to try taking a chance and walk in. ever try getting a reservation in calgary for mothers day 2 days before. impossible. this is how they treat customers.

one of the best burgers i’ve had in a long time! good food menu. great beer selection. almost a 5 star. only downfall was the general atmosphere wasn’t very exciting and the staff were nice, but preoccupied hanging out with each other. overall it was good and i would comebackagain.

this place is crazy huge. if your planning a huge group to host, this is the place. there's two floors to eat with a patio outside. you can also tie your dog outside, it's dog friendly in this area.

as for beers, this place is the king. 5/5 for the selection of beers to drink yourself to death.
i tried their warlock strawberry beer and it was very refreshing. really cool experience to have my first strawberry beer too.

as for the food, this is where it lost points.
it's nothing special, just pub style food plated nicely.
if your looking to drink then it's a fantastic place to try out.

service lost points too. we waited very long for our water refills. perhaps they could leave a jug of water in the table instead. our waitress was too chill and slow. we also waited 15 mins for our bill.

i would comebackbut only to drink at the bar with the boys.

large spacious wooden interior, patio, two floors, delicious food, and friendly servers...a 100+ variety of beer on tap, you cannot go wrong to visit this place. great for picky beer snobs, as it caters to so many tastes. only thing i wish they had was a custom flight where customers can choose their own beers. there are two different 6 x 4oz beer flight themes available that rotates weekly: local and world. as a celebration for canada's 150th, craft made a special 150th themed beer flight too. the added touches of serving beers in their own designed glasses is also a huge perk to enjoying a delicious cold brew. i'd comebackagain and again!

average food, great ambience. went for the sunday father's day brunch. the food was fine, but there wasnt anything that left me itching to gobackfor seconds. the service was just okay. our server never refilled our waters... which was needed given the saltiness of several of the dishes.

i am surprised that people have positive things to say about the food. i went twice because i always give things a second chance. the atmosphere is fun and service was great both times but the food is pathetic. the first experience i had was an incomplete order and a very small portion. the server noticed and tried her best but after needing a magnifying glass to see the fish on the fish tacos, i gave up. i left with a gift card as a great gesture for such a bad meal. i went again a couple of weeks later and had another meal with very small and bland portions. my dinner salad had three croutons in it and the fries were dry. i will not gobackand will not recommend it.

i love coming to craft! i've come here for many different occasions over the past few years and the food and beer is constantly delicious!

i was here recently for a party and reserving a table for 12 was very easy. when we got there, the tables were all right by the bar and at the start of the night our waitress was great.

the flights of beer are my favorite thing about craft. i love trying many different beers i might not try otherwise. for dinner i started with a poutine which was great - crispy fries and gravy that tasted like it didn't come from a package! i also had the beer can chicken which was juicy and full of flavor.

towards the end of the night when the bar was packed, service did suffer a bit. we'd go 15 minutes without seeing out waitress. however she was very accomodating with splitting up the tabs at the end of the night for our big party.

i will comebackto craft many times to come and would not hesitate to book an event here.

updated:
i camebacka second time to try more of the menu recently.
my partner and i had the tuna poke to start, then the ravioli, the pork, and finished off with the dessert in a jar.
we got beer pairings for each of the items on the menu.
the staff are very knowledgeable on their beer selection and will help you find your perfect beer.
i am a bit of a texture person, and so far i'm very content with the items i tried tonight, but the ravioli is a definite winner in that category, a must try if you don't mind a bit of heat.

had a great time here, good food, fast service, well trained staff, this restaurant is also a supporter of locally sourced food so that's a huge bonus!
be sure to come early or get a reservation, because this place gets busy fast.

went to craft beer market for brunch today by recommendation of my brunch date. it was pretty quiet which is great for me since i don't like waiting. we grabbed a table near the window with a view of the water. my friend said she had the bennies and they were good, so i decided to go for the avocado and cheddar bennie. overall solid brunch. good service while it's quiet - can't say what it'd be like if i wentbackwhen it's busy. i'd probably gobackon another quiet day and didn't feel like cooking.

ordered the fish tacos. what a let down. the meat to taco ratio was terrible - only 15% of it was fish. the fish was seasoned very well and the salsa that accompanied the taco was excellent. however, i was so sick of taking bites of the taco that was just mouthfuls of only lettuce and bread, that i left a ton of remains. won't bebackfor the food. service was pretty decent though. looks like a great place for just a beer though. just wish they stepped up their food game.

craft was really fun! my friend and i were seated at the bar on a busy saturday, the ambiance was great and the staff was super friendly! the manager came by to ensure that we were enjoying our beverages and everything. they have a great lengthy selection of beers so there's something for everyone and the environment was super positive, fun music, fun staff! we didn't get a chance to try any of the food but i definitely will comebackto do so!

great location at the heart of vancouver close to science world. definitely a great ambience to meet up with friends and have some all-around-the-world beer and some grub. the beer sampler was quite an experience for the taste buds. it's a must try! the food could've been better but overall, it was okay. i'd comebackfor the brew for sure.

the beer is obviously the attraction here, as they have a very extensive list. the food is really below average. the veggie burger patty lacked seasoning, and the bread was soggy and greasy instead of crisp and toasty. the noodles in the noodle bowl were uncooked and clumped together. i'm glad i tried the place once, but will not gobackbecause of the food.

we were at craft today for brunch. our server started out super slow and it was by no means busy at the time we were there. took her for forever to get us coffee let alone milk for our coffee. then when we were ready to order, i was told that the skillets come pre made - kind of ridiculous to hear something like that so i decided to get the eggs benedict, as did a few of my friends that i was with. everyone that ordered eggs benedict ordered the eggs to be poached medium. once we got our meals, our food was cold, eggs were poached hard, and it looked like the hash browns had been sitting under a heat lamp. we decided to let our server know and asked to speak with a manager. we let her know our concerns and it seemed as though we were bothering her but she said she would comp our meal and offered to remake our food. only 2 of the girls got theirs remade while the rest of us opted out of it. the food camebackquickly for them but again, the eggs were poached hard. i didn't realize it was so hard to poach eggs. the girls are their food and we sat around drinking coffee and talking, when we noticed the manager (girl with curly hair and glasses) and 2 servers (one that was ours) were standing directly behind our table giving us dirty looks and talking about us. that is when we had enough and got up and left. awful service and the manager was incredibly unprofessional. i just skimmed through some reviews and saw that i'm not the first person to say that though. anyways - maybe avoid eating here and just go for drinks. or just try to avoid this place in general. extremely disappointed.
