This is a good pub for somebody, but it wasn't for us. Older/middle aged clientele, and they play to it well. I expected a standard neighbourhood pub, so I guess it's on me for not checking the menu first and realizing it was more up scale. The bbq sandwich was good, but would be made better with more meat on the bun, and the strange extra pile of meat reduced with maybe a coleslaw or something in its place. Was still good tho. Took 10 minutes from seating to ordering and 8 minutes from ordering to getting our beer. Food arrived 2 minutes later.
awesome place & friendly atmosphere.
excellent food, great atmosphere live music, all round great pub
The staff could use smile more. They didn’t take away dishes or refill water or even replenish drinks unless we flagged them down and asked. The food was tasty but a little pricey for a pub but that’s to be expected now in this economy. But the place is clean & comfy and the music was great.
Was there on a Tues night with five of us. We had a great time. Turns out the kitchen was excellent. We each had a different meal and each were very good. I had the lasagna, others were, butter chicken, fish and chips, a burger, lastly was the wrap.Nice arrangement. You could dine and dance or just watch the band on one side of the central bar or lounge and hang out on the other side of the bar. Very small dance floor though. Overhead music can be a bit loud to talk over.
Visited Admiral to see a great band. Not the first time to see these players at this venue.Service very poor. Staff are great, just overworked.$100 check arrived with a cover charge included.Advised server that this was not acceptable, he brought over manager who informed that the cover charge was on a sign at the front door and in place to support live music.Responded that we would not have been here if the band was not playing.Manager removed the charge, returned with adjusted check AND the small sign that was apparently at the door advising of cover charge, to indicate that that this was now my fault.Wow.In 40+ years of going to clubs, any cover charge amount has always been visible and charged at the door.Looks like it’s different at the Admiral.Manager advised that he would remove the charge from the check but I would not be able to visit again.Ok by me.Vancouver is not short of venues to see live music and who welcome my dollars.Bye Admiral.
Thank you Admiral for keeping the music alive. I visited by myself and had something to eat at the bar. The food was great. Bartender kept me company while I enjoyed the live band.
We came here for Karaoke night and weren’t disappointed. Friendly service. Clean for a pub. All in our group had fun. Drink selection could use a little more variety for my taste. Wish they had more specials or happy hours.
It's deceivingly big, lots of room with big tables. They had karaoke night and the locals had solid group of singers. Good selection of beer, many BC options on tap. The wings were ok, not terrible but not great. They are lacking in servers, so expect the service to be on the slower side of things.
The Admiral pub is a very fun and friendly atmosphere. We saw a great band called the Golden Archies and have also enjoyed their Jazz night on Sundays from 5 to 8. Great food as well!!
