st. augustine's

i find this pub to have an amazing atmosphere and love to watch sports there!

recently was told by the server they served gf beer on tap along with gf cider. i was very excited only to become very disappointed as they do not designate a line for gf beer or gf cider. was told by the server that there is a risk of cross contamination so having celiac disease i didn't risk it!
it's awesome to see the gf choices in vancouver and some places will designate lines specifically for gf so that there is minimum risk for cross contamination.
i realize they switch their beers over often and only hope they will consider designated at least one line for gf beer and cider. there are so many businesses making an effort to be gf and make every effort to prevent cross contamination and not just cashing in on the gf trend. i love this pub and think it's awesome they have so many gf choices on tap but fall short on designated a line to support the people who don't have a choice.....

i really enjoyed this chicken wings. they had the right amount of bbq on them and they were tasty. the wings were the right size not too tiny or over-sized.

best bar in vancouver. i go to st augustines quite often and have always really enjoyed myself. obviously the beer is quite good, but the food is also excellent. the nachos are always a favourite but the mac and cheese croquettes and the pizzas are very good as well.

the paddle consists of 4 tap beers of your choice. the following beers are seen from left to right! i was a bit disappointed with their nachos because there wasn’t that much cheese with it.

josh loves beer. so, there’s honestly no better place to take him but st. augustine’s. i blogged about craft, tap and barrel and hop and vine but felt really guilty i’ve never really mentioned commercial drive’s picks. which are significantly better. i’ve been to biercraft and st. augustine’s many times before, but i haven’t actually ever blogged about it! st. augustine’s has a lot of craft beer to offer. they keep a percentage posted of how much they have left on screens and online. i hands down think that st. augustine’s rotates and has better selection than craft market and tap and barrel. yes, craft has a huge list. but it doesn’t really seem to change or seem as interesting as what st. augustine’s picks. i find if you’re a newcomer to craft beer, than yes, craft and tap and barrel are a good start. but the food is really good here. my review of craft reveals their horribly slow service. tap and barrel is a bit pricey. but st. augustine’s is just right. it explains why it’s always

no thanks. good beer on taps true but sorry unprofessional crappy service and sub par food . alibi room is definatly more classy and more professional than this dive on the drive. ;(

was there last night, i was having a good time until our waitress felt the need to stop my buddy from having another drink until be "had some more water" it was his 33rd birthday, he wasn't even close to drunk and he can handle his liquor, but she felt the need too stop him from having another beer. ummm aren't you guys a bar, sorry if were not hipsters douchebag enough for you. don't worry, we won't be back.

go for the beer, skip the food. avoid friday and saturday nights for an excellent relaxing experience with the best selection of beers in vancouver. rotating taps beat all other bars in town, check the website to 'know before you go' on the live beer menu. i prefer it to the alibi room - but you will starve if you stay at st. aug's for food, and your wine/hiball friends will not appreciate it, either. the dip trio is ok, if you order extra bread - everything else has been a rip off or substandard.

great time, as always.. went there on saturday night and had a good time, as always, once we'd refused to be seated around the corner where you can't see anyone or anything.maybe i have low expectations or standards , but i've always had good service, good food and good beer here.my pizza was tasty and hot.my wifes beef stew likewise. they had the amazing parallel 49 n2 nitro stout so i ordered 2, one to drink while the other warmed up to the correct (room) temperature. the waitress was friendly and efficient and the whole evening went by very pleasantly.craft beer market has a bigger selection of beers but their food and drink prices are ridiculous and the staff and clientele at st. augustine's are much nicer. i'll keep coming back!!

bad waitress. i’m a beer drinker and usually like this place, but after last night i won’t be going back. my girlfriend and i go and it’s too busy to get a table. i live close so we stand at the bar and get take out. there is a single seat so i sit down as i’m looking at the menu and we order. since there is only one seat available, and for some reason, we can only order one drink because ‘that’s the law’. i order food and while we wait i order a beer. the waitress proceeds to make fun of me and encourage my girlfriend that i’m a jerk for not buying her a drink instead, while we wait for ten minutes. i’m a beer guy and don’t get to go to this place often. i guess blowing $65 on take out isn’t good enough of a jester for the waitress and somehow i’m a bad guy for wanting to try a beer. i tipped 18% and felt dirty about it. won’t be going back any time soon, there are other great beer joints on the strip to grab a drink and buy over priced food.

unfair treatment. in short:
this place is defin not worth the wait, over priced and so-so food. good selection of beer but there are other places for that too. stupid waitress and/or possibly was at the end of an act of racism but i'm really hoping these waitresses are above that, this is vancouver.... never coming back again

this is why:
our party wanted to go to st aug. for wings on wed night. we've been here more often maybe a year ago and didnt have an issue making a rsvp or getting a table for a large group when we just stopped by but last night was just ridiculous. we called in earlier to make a rsvp but they said they did not accept rsvps for after 6pm . we got there before 6:30 and was told there were 5 groups ahead of us. okay, we knew it was gonna be a wait. maybe 20min in, they called in all the other groups before us already (including a group of 10). we're still left outside waiting. other people walked by us to put their name down and was soon called in as well. we look inside (because we had to wait outside in the freezing cold for a table) and see a long table empty for 1/2 hr already. we asked about that table and they said we're next in line and the'yre just setting up the table now. 10min later, they let another big group in and they settled down at that table. we've been waiting outside for about 50min now. and during this time, other groups of 3s and 4s get called in ahead of us. i finally decide to go inside to ask what's going on. they said we're basically waiting for the original group of 10 that was ahead of us to leave before we will get seated. i'm not sure how these waitresses are trained but that has got to be the stupidest way to organize seating ever. 1) they obviously do take rsvp because another group that came at 7pm took a table that has been empty for a long time. 2) waitress doesn't understand the concept of first come first serve or the idea of putting ur name down on a list and going down that list. there were tables that were freed within a couple min of each other but they decided to bypass us and give it to 2 separate parties.

great craft beer. if you're into local and/or craft beers, you have to go to this place. their beer menu is easily three times as long as their food menu. and of course, there's the sampler option so you don't have to settle on just one. oh, and the food's pretty good too. i love their chicken burger. it's quite busy on the weekends though so be prepared for some noise.

food is so-so. overpriced. we ordered the calamari & beermisu. they are just so-so. but paid $11 for the 10 tiny calamari and extra $1 for the calamari dip. never heard extra charge for just a tiny dish of dip. the server nor menu ever mentioned about extra charge for dip. will never return.

great beer selection!
servers know their menu!
always a good time and beer!

go here for the good selection of beers but not really a place for food.
