    Tap & Barrel - Shipyard: A Perfect Valentine’s Dinner with an Amazing View We visited Tap & Barrel - Shipyard for Valentine’s Day dinner, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Thanks to our reservation, we were seated immediately with no wait time. The service was quick, and everything we ordered arrived exactly as requested. For our meal, we ordered Pesto Chicken Linguine, Truffle Potato, Lettuce Chicken Wrap, and their famous Fat Tug IPA. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted great, but the highlight was definitely the Fat Tug IPA—its citrusy, aromatic taste is truly top-notch. The restaurant itself is one of Vancouver’s most unique dining spots. Located on the waterfront in an old shipyard, it offers a stunning atmosphere, cozy ambiance, and breathtaking views. It’s the perfect place for a special occasion or a casual lunch or dinner. There is a paid parking lot just a few minutes away, which adds to the convenience. I highly recommend Tap & Barrel - Shipyard for anyone looking for great food, craft beer, and an unforgettable dining experience with a view!

    Loved it. Staff is SUPER friendly and always looking after your well-being. They separated our salad into separate dishes knowing that we were sharing (without our request) and had the tongs ready to go to share our pastas. The pasta portions were large and definitely worth it. Affogato to finish!
