Local tip
Reservations are useful for groups, while private bookings can be arranged for larger occasions.

The Lamplighter Public House is a Gastown pub with a brick-lined interior, stained-glass details and a lively bar atmosphere. Located on Water Street in Vancouver, the venue combines the informal character of a neighbourhood drinking spot with a setting suited to social meals, evening drinks and group gatherings.

The menu centres on pub plates, with craft beer and cocktails providing the main drink options. The food style is casual and shareable in spirit, making the venue a natural fit for a relaxed meal alongside drinks rather than a formal dining occasion. Takeout and dine-in service are both available.

Sports are part of the pub's character, with space for match-day viewing and bar games adding another reason to settle in for an extended visit. The atmosphere shifts further into nightlife mode through DJ-led weekend programming, giving the room an energetic feel later in the evening. The combination of televised sport, games, music and a full drinks selection suits groups looking for more than a quiet meal.

The interior's exposed brick and stained glass bring visual texture without making the setting feel formal. It works for casual meetups, after-work drinks, social occasions and late-night visits, while group and private-event bookings provide options for larger gatherings. Reservations are available for diners who prefer to plan ahead, and the venue also accommodates walk-in-style pub visits depending on capacity.

Located among Gastown's historic streets, The Lamplighter offers a central setting for visitors exploring the district or meeting friends for food and drinks. Its mix of pub dining, sports, bar games and music gives the space a broad social character, with the strongest appeal for adults and groups seeking a relaxed evening that can continue from dinner into nightlife.
