Local tip
The mezzanine lounge is worth considering for group dinners, celebrations or private events.

Brass Fish Tavern is a modern pub and dining room inside Vancouver’s Marine Building on Burrard Street. The setting combines a grand tavern feel with a stylish parlour room, creating an adaptable space for lunch, after-work drinks, casual meals and evening gatherings.

The menu brings together familiar pub cooking and contemporary dishes, with small plates available for sharing or lighter dining. The food offering is suited to a relaxed meal rather than a formal restaurant experience, while the bar gives the venue a broader drinks focus. Craft beer, cocktails and a rotating wine selection sit alongside an extensive whisky collection of more than 250 bottles.

Lunch is an important part of the offering, including a prix fixe format designed for business diners seeking a quick two-course meal. The tavern also runs regular happy-hour promotions and seafood-focused specials, giving the bar area a role beyond dinner service. A burger is among the classic pub-style options associated with the happy-hour menu, while oysters feature in the venue’s weekday oyster promotion.

Brass Fish Tavern suits downtown workers, small groups and diners looking for a central setting with a strong drinks list. Its mezzanine lounge provides a semi-private area with couches and coffee tables for group dinners, celebrations and private events. The venue also welcomes larger party bookings, making the upstairs space useful when a standard table is not the right fit.

The atmosphere balances traditional tavern character with polished details. The parlour-style seating, considered bar programme and whisky focus give the room a more distinctive identity than a straightforward neighbourhood pub, while the menu remains accessible and familiar. Craft beer, cocktails, wine and whisky allow different types of visits, from a quick lunch to a longer evening built around drinks and shared plates.

Located at 385 Burrard Street, Brass Fish Tavern is a practical choice for business lunches, casual downtown dining, after-work meetups and private group occasions. Table bookings and event enquiries are available through the venue.
