Embracing the sublime pleasure of drink, the joy of good food and the comfort of family – Pourhouse is the embodiment of a passion for sharing the simple indulgences of life with friends. Just southeast of the steam clock in Gastown, Pourhouse harkens back to century-old styles of drinking and dining. The 100-year-old building was built in 1910, as home to the Leckie Boot Company – the original structure crafted with Douglas fir ceilings, supported by large wood pillars, and brick walls. Pourhouse is furnished in antiques of the era – complemented by custom creations. Every piece in Pourhouse has a story. The cornerstone is the 38 ft. bar – lovingly handcrafted from 120 year-old planks of reclaimed Douglas fir.
Creative cocktails & seasonal fare served in a century-old warehouse setting with a 38-ft. bar.

We were incredibly disappointed at this place. Despite reading positive reviews about their burgers, we couldn’t believe how that could be possible. Perhaps we had unrealistic expectations, but the burger bun was absolutely old and kept breaking. The Caesar salad was disgusting, and I couldn’t tell if it had pecans or walnuts on it, but it certainly didn’t complement the salad. The burger itself had a processed cheese taste. I would definitely rank this place much lower than other cheap burger joints.

My husband and I had a fantastic evening here. The Cuban cocktails were top-notch, as was the Cuban sandwich (it had another name on the menu, but I can’t remember it). I just have to thank the cameraman for his great service, and the chef and bartender; they did an excellent job. This is coming from a Cuban who loved spending a little time on her beautiful island. Also, thank you for the music.

I often come to Gastown in search of good food, and usually I’m never disappointed — but this time was the exception. We were just looking for a quick bite before heading downtown to catch a musical. The food was… okay, nothing too exciting. The burger ranked somewhere between McDonald’s and A&W. Maybe this place is more about the drinks than the food. Either way, it did the job of filling us up!

Some fantastic vibes, this place has got. The place has got some seriously well thought out decor and menus. It was a journey going through the menu and just looking around the place and the people. Oh and the smells! The cheeseburger randomly spawned at the table next to us and the aromas practically forced us to order one. The drinks were well made and came in fun glassware too!

We made a reservation here for a group of 6. Great location and the interior decor is lovely. Service was prompt and cocktails were very good. One of our party has celiac disease and they were highly accommodating as they have a gluten free deep fryer and were able to modify almost the entirety of the menu for gluten allergy. Would definitely recommend

I went with my husband last night. He had the old fashioned and I had the old miller cocktail. We had creme brulee as well. Absolutely delicious. Very strong drinks. Friendly bartender- very chatty.

I had a wonderful time with my friend yesterday at the Pourhouse. The appetizers are incredible and thoughtfully prepared. It is very difficult to make a good Scotch Egg and the one they served was perfect. Their liquor menu is finely curated and the selection is vast. Being a very busy restaurant, all the servers were professional and efficient given the crowds they needed to handle.
It’s nice to go out and have the option of a carefully crafted, well thought out, restaurant. Thank you Pourhouse. I appreciate the effort you have put into your establishment.

Came here for happy hour before a show. We decided to come here because of the good reviews, but was disappointed.
We had:
Single Smash Burgers ($10) -The phots that we saw, looked nothing like the ones we had. The one we had reminded me of a McDonald’s cheeseburger, so I’m a bit confused as to someone saying it was the best burger they had. Although I’m not too sure if the happy hour burger may be completely different from the burger on their regular menu.
Truffle Tots ($12) – Super cheesy and quite the Truffle taste on the cheese.
Beef Tartare ($16) – This was not part of the happy hour menu, but it was worth a try for us. The beef was diced in bigger chunks, but rather bland.

Solid atmosphere, especially when they have live music! Great playlist otherwise.
Food was good. Not out of this world but good takes on classic dishes and surprisingly cheap happy hour prices.
Service was under average. No smiles, on the longer edge of wait times, charged extra for a few thin slices of bread. On top of that, the lowest tip option is at 18% on top of taxes. Let’s just say the $30 dollar tip left a sour taste in our mouths.

It’s always a great experience. Best place for a late night dinner. Fabulous cocktails and attentive service.
