East Side Craft House: Vancouver

Thoughts:
Nice place with good food and a good selection of beers. Unfortunately they were out of some of the advertised brands and seeing how it was a Tuesday at lunch I am guessing that tgey ran out on the weekend and didn't bother getting more.

The food was good and the large portions made the above average price seem ok.

There didn't seem to be a lot of seating but based on it's location I don't see it getting too busy.

It was ok if you are in the area but could probably find better a short drive away.

Pros:
Good menu of food and drinks.

Cons:
Above average price and seemed out of stock on a few beverages.

Dubh Linn Gate: Whistler

Overview
The Dubh Linn Gate Irish Pub’s origins are rooted in Ireland’s traditional heritage. Long ago, the name Dubh Linn – Irish for “black pool” – was given to the dark pool of water that still lies today beneath the proud heart of Dublin City. Designed and handcrafted in Ireland, the Dubh Linn Gate Pub was transported piece by piece around the world to the the ground floor of The Pan Pacific Whistler Mountainside. The Dubh Linn Gate is unsurpassed in uniting this exceptional location with authentic Irish pub charm. Opening in May 1998, the pub is decorated to showcase a pictorial journey through Ireland’s culture.

Thoughts
At this Irish Pub the food was good and the atmosphere was great. Located right at the base of the ski hill in the middle of Whistler Village, this pub offered a great patio view of the ski hill. Service was a bit slower but that is most likely due to how busy the place usually is.

Pros
Good food, live music and a nice selection of drinks.

Cons
Expensive and service was slow.

Overall
3.5/5
The price and slow service brought this down but it was a place I would visit again.
