St Augustine's

Vancouver


It resembles a regular, sometimes overly loud, neighborhood sports bar from the outside, but step inside St Aug's and you'll find around 60 on-tap microbrews. It has one of the city's largest selections, mostly from BC. This is your chance to sample ales from regional brewers you don't often see on draft in Vancouver, such as Yellow Dog and Twin Sails.

Check the website to see what's on tap before you arrive; it has a clever 'live beer menu' showing how much of each brew is left. And if you're still not sure what to order, ask for the four-glass tasting flight. The food is of the heaping pub-grub variety here (burgers and fish and chips).
