“ We had 2 cocktails, the YVR sling and the crystal moments (on burrard). Pretty good ! For a small bite we had the fish tacos (it’s a must). Recommended ! ”
“ Fantastic drinks! Food looked great, but we were just stopping in for a snack and only has the hummus. Both the pita and hummus were wonderful. Food menu is a bit limited during covid times still, but very large drink menu and great tasting cocktails ”
“ Great service and cocktails. Had the ginger pear martini. ”
“ I always love coming for the drinks at Grain. They have handcrafted cocktails that always vary to keep the menu interesting. I still tend to order my favourite drink when I’m in - an Old Fashioned. It always tastes great but for a nicer cocktail bar, it still shocks me that as a cocktail bar they do not have large ice cubes for the Old Fashioned when the local chain restaurants nearby offer it for the full experience. Michael, Drew, and Christina are always wonderful whenever I visit, they’re another reason I keep coming back with friends. ”
“ The restaurant was clean. Our waiter/Alex was friendly. He brought water right away and menus. we ordered our drinks-he double checked on what we wanted (we’re from the states). our food was delicious. ”
“ bartenders and waiters were great despite a crazy altercation they handled with respect and care. Very professional and respectful. service was great and very happy with my experience. Also drinks were amazing ”
“ Wings are a must try - super crispy, served hot, and delicious. Sweet potato fries are amazing too. Crispy, with sharp cheese on top, and paired with a bomb chipotle aioli. So good. ”
“ Tried couple drinks Best. Nice interior and peaceful atmosphere to enjoy drinks. Server and service is amazing. Drinks were served pretty quickly ”
