  I had a few friends visiting from England and wanted to impress them with some of our brewery scene out in Vancouver. I chose Parallel 49 as the place we would eat on our little "tour", and it definitely did not disappoint. The service was friendly and knowledgeable. We weren't exactly sure what type of beers we wanted from their vast selection, and the server was great at choosing ones we enjoyed. We each did a flight and were fans of every beer she chose. The food was the big surprise though. I don't have super high expectations for food at breweries, but I got the chicken sandwich and it was AMAZING. One of the best I've ever had. Chicken was very juicy, and it had a little kick from some jalapenos. Topped off with some red cabbage and a tasty mayo, it was a real highlight. The only reason why I am not giving 5 stars was that the atmosphere left a LITTLE to be desired. I understand that breweries are not going to be like restaurants, but the layout of the brewery somehow managed to amplify a lot of the noise and made it difficult to talk. All in all, I would recommend Parallel 49 very highly. If you are doing a brewery tour in Vancouver make sure you make this your stop for food - you won't be disappointed!

  Disorganized, is the best word I can use to describe this brewery. The good: Initial impressions walking up. It seemed like a cool place. A load of participants from a beer run event were there enjoying some beer and everyone seemed happy. The bad: They're a verified venue on untapped which is usually a nice thing to see. However, there is no link between the digital beer menu, the receipt they provide to show the beers in your flight and the untapped beer list. So much useful technology implemented poorly was just a clustered mess. There were some good beers on tap and I picked up a few bottles including a cool wax dipped Russian Imperial Stout. The part that really rubbed me the wrong way was when I stopped to check out the swag they had for sale. When asking the girl at the counter if they had a shirt in my size, the response I get "oh those are expensive" and she gave off this vibe like helping me as the customer was putting her out. Really? You know I didn't even look at the prices of the beer, but it's well known that craft beer is not cheap. Neither is driving up from Seattle and getting a hotel in Vancouver for the sole purpose of trying beer. Someone spending 6-12 dollars for a single beer is not likely to care about a shirt being $40. Another member of the staff went to check but at that point I no longer cared if they had my size or not. This place has potential, but currently it reminds me of a few breweries in the Seattle area that expanded too fast for their own good. It has the feel of a restaurant that happens to brew beer and the passion for beer is nowhere to be seen. Another reviewer compared it to a fast food joint and after experiencing the service, I have to say I agree.

  • Great Food Great Beer • A little hard to find parking when the place is busy. Lots of different beers to choose from, Plenty of seating, good food and very friendly knowledgeable staff. Did I happen to say they have great beer.

  A bit out of the way, but lots of seating and really cool decor and menu board! Tons of beer selections. I had the fish tacos and fries, really delicious! The person that was taking our orde made me feel rushed and her tone didn't sound friendly when I asked about food options. She was wearing glasses and had long hair, that wasn't tied back. Since later, she was pouring the beer, should be tie back!

  Always love this place. And it's even better since they've made updates to the tasting room. Cool atmosphere, great beer, tasty food. Parking can be tricky if it's busy and the area is a bit sketchy but... Do recommend!
