Hub Restaurant Yaletown

Excellent location, nice little spot.
However not very populated :/​
Highlight of visit was bartender Josephine serving tasty late night happy hour ceasars! :)

I have only had brunch at this location of the hub on weekends and on both occasions was surprised by the lack of customers specially on a nice sunny Sunday/​Saturday morning.
The décor is very modern pub like, high chairs with leather seats, generous use of brown wooden counters and dark lighting. Overall, the ambiance is more pub like than a restaurant feel.
Our server was very nice, attentive and informed us of the Christmas event that would be happening later on that day.
They serve JJBean coffee which is one of my favourite roasts in the city and scored bonus points. I’ve tried the eggs benny and the Huevos Rancheros which came with a generous side of fried potatoes, house-​made salsa and fresh fruits. The eggs benny was ok but nothing special, and I wouldn’t order it again. Huevos Rancheros was a better option.
Overall I would come back again to try more items from the brunch menu.

Final day in the city. Had a delicious veggie benny for brunch, partner had a chicken burger which he described as amazing. Great drinks, friendly service, relaxed attitude. Lovely.

We’re out-​of-​towners up in Van for a short holiday. After an urban hike from Broadway, around False Creek and through Chinatown and Gas Town and downtown we were ready to wet our whistle. This was on Sunday ¹⁰⁄₂₅ and saw that there was 20 minutes left on happy hour. The sign board out front said $ 4 pints. Well okay then. We were going to order mussels but they were out so okay, just beer then. Out of my wife’s flavor of ale. Okay she’ll have what I’m having.
Get our beers and they are not the same. The very sweet waitress got our order wrong, no biggie, whatever, really just wanted some suds.
Also the «pints» aren’t really pints. Ten to 12 ounce glasses really.
Also the happy hour isn’t really happy hour. Apparently we ordered the wrong beer. Happy hour price is only for Blue Moon (Coors I think), which you would have had to have guessed as our waitress never mentioned it and no where on the happy hour menu does it announce this.
We mentioned this fact to our waitress, and she acknowledged that a lot of customers are shocked to discover that they are not charged the happy hour prices that they expected to pay. Asked to speak to the owner but he/​she wasn’t present, and decided it was too much trouble to haggle over happy hour beer prices with a food and beverage manager.
In any event that was the first and last time we will go to The Hub. They have a pretty stupid business model in my opinion.

Located next to the Yaletown Canada line station, it’s a small but cozy place for a casual date or to hang out with friends.
I have to be honest, I didn’t order any entrees. I was drawn in by the 4 types of cookie in a pan. This was the only restaurant in the area that served it, and they decided to nail it! These are the choices:
— CLASSIC CHOCOLATE CHIP
— OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP
— TRIPLE CHOCOLATE BROWNIE
— WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA NUT
We tried the last two flavors, and seriously, heaven melted in my mouth. The white chocolate is less sweet than the triple chocolate, and although I loved brownie, white chocolate definitely stole my heart.
I felt like the server judged us for our orders, cus she never smiled or acted like she wanted us to be here. We had to walk up to the front to find another server to pay our bill cus our server went MIA (and the restaurant was only half full at the time).
I liked the place. The server gave me a bad vibe, but other than that, I might come back to try their burgers. Smelled pretty darn good.

Wonderful meal, better service! I don’t know my servers name but he was really efficient, knowledgeable and so kind! After dinner I left my eye glasses in the booth and he tracked us down 4 blocks to return them!
Food: I had the roasted vegetables with salmon– so yummy! We also had the lamb burger and squid. All so good and the beer/​wine selection was top notch.

First and last time. Typical of yaletown restaurants, mussels came cold like a salad. Worst mussel I ever had in my entire life and likely the worst in the city. Drinks ridiculously expensive for a pub. Would never return. Service ok.

Solid restaurant. The food was tasty (I had the falafel wrap), the waitress was great, and I absolutely love that they place a blanket over your chair on the patio in case you get cold. A really nice touch.

a good selection of beer. good services.
I ordered the grilled pear salad. overall tasted good but i could use a bit less dressing…

Went to the Hub on Saturday and sat on the patio. Ordered the crab grilled cheese with salad and hubby had tuna sushi sandwich. Grilled cheese was bland — could barely taste the cheese — and they used off-​the-​shelf ordinary white bread. Had a sweet flavour but wasn’t sure from what, since neither crab nor cheese are typically referred to as ‘sweet.’ Salad was good but could have been bigger. Lobster grilled cheese at Joeys is much, much better. This was about what I would expect to be served at Save-​on-​Meats, which would have been half the price but tastier. Hubby’s tuna burger was over-​cooked but the small bowl of fries were ok.
Surprised this place is still in business, actually. Service was ok but not that friendly and ambiance was nothing remarkable. Won’t be back.

Best chicken sandwich my husband and I have had in a long time. It was super juicy and flavorful, with a little spice. The side salad had a nice tangy house dressing. The food came out quickly. We were there for a late lunch on a Monday, so there was hardly anyone else there. We sat outside where it was nice to people watch.
We split the meal and were charged a $ 2 splitting fee which we weren’t warned of, but maybe it was in fine print on he menu.

Thai chicken soup appetizer was decent, but only lukewarm.
I got the beef dip.
Came out cold.
Not enough beef, nearly all bread.
Fries were decent.
Server was great, discounted the beef dip. But the only way I would ever come back here would be for drinks… not the food.
My friend got the steak salad. The steak had more pepper on it than beef!

–The beer bread is like a big, somewhat cheesy biscuit in bread form. I approve.
–Their grilled cheese is terrible; white wonderbread is a poor choice. Melted cheese between two slices of beer bread would have been incredible.
–Their sangria is tasty, but more fruit (than one slice of apple and a handful of cranberries) would make it more appealing.
–The roasted pear salad is pretty darn good. Just make sure to mix up the greens since the creamy dressing is pooled at the bottom of the bowl.
–The falafal wrap was forgettable.
I recommend ordering the mac and cheese with a side of onion rings that you crumble on top.

First time at Hub since they renovated. My boyfriend and I came for lunch on a Saturday. It was a beautiful sunny day so we decided to sit on the patio. Our server was outgoing and very attentive.
We ordered a beer each (gypsy tears from parallel 49 and a grapefruit ale from whistler brewing). For food, we decided to share the sushi burger and the lamb burger (both with fries). The lamb burger was Greek inspired. It was tasty, but we agreed it was nothing special. The sushi burger, on the other hand, was delicious! My boyfriend said it kind of tasted like a California roll. The sesame crusted albacore tuna paired perfectly with the avocado and wasabi mayo.
We will definitely come back to try more of their new menu items!
PS. This patio is perfect for people watching ;)

The best Ceasars I’ve had… the bartender is super friendly too! We came here almost every night during our stay in Yaletown. They also have late night happy hour during the week.

The Hub is not a good place to find Great Food.
My recent experience at the newly renovated Yaletown bar was forgettable and for what most restaurants make customers pay for food in this area, i was even a bigger slap in the face.
There were several other Happy hour options nearby that offered better quality food than this place. I would commend the service, our waitress was very polite and funny but she couldn’t make up for the poor impression the Food left on us. Lobster wings were deceiving and the calimari was so bland, I would rather have tried to make it at home for the first time.
Truth is, we should have known better, no one was inside other than 5 customers at 5:00pm in Vancouver that is never a good thing.

I was in the area on business and I had just settled in at my hotel. I was really craving a burger, as I typically do after a long plane ride. I noticed this place across the street and wandered over to take a glimpse as the menu. I ordered the pretty standard bacon cheeseburger with a side of Caesar salad. The salad was good — bravo to whoever made the dressing.
The burger, on the other hand, was bland. I was slightly disappointed. The guy even asked me what I thought about the fact that it was called the ‘Yankee Burger’. Screams All-​American to me. But it needed more umf.
If I were to come back, I’d definitely try something else on the menu. But unfortunate place for burgers.

Let me start off by saying the Bacon Jam with the bread is a must. That was one of the best things I had while in Vancouver. From what I saw they had a decent beer selection.
I ordered an old fashion drink. It was okay, I ordered another one with Makers Mark, and it was much better, not sure what whiskey they use in house, but I was not a BIG fan at all.
I was really impressed on how quickly the staff sat a group of six I was with. They originally put us in two separate tables, but realized that was not a good idea and combined two tables to make one long one for all of us to sit at. Bravo!
I also was given a maple bacon, Cesar (I think that is what is was called). Not to impressed by a signature drink. Kind of a let down to be honest.
I really wish I could tell you what I ate for dinner, but the bacon jam surpassed everything I had that night.

We walked around the block at Yaletown with the recommendation of the hotel we stayed at.
Saw many places to eat and many options and themes. We ended up right back at the first place we saw since they had outside seating with heaters. Many other places had indoor seating that were way too hot inside!
Right as we sat down, it started to rain and they immediately pressed a button and covered us all the way with an awning. Then they cleared off a large table so all 6 of us could fit on one table. This was awesome since it was a busy Friday night.
The food options were playful and variant enough to accommodate all members of the group. The silver lining was the amount of Caesar options they had. The spicy one was very tasty and being doubles for $ 10 can’t be beat!
We had a great time. The service could be more attentive as the night got later but it was a good experience overall. Thanks!

First off congrats on getting your resturaunt reopened.
I really want to like you hub, but some seriously rookie moves.
I live in Yaletown and to there credit, they where the first restaurant to offer craft beer. They had a great selection… Ya not anymore
Nothing screams craft like Whistler, Stanlypark, and Fat tug. Bascially the Wal~mart of I.P.A … beer menue big fail. And whats even better is… they now have the tiltle as the most expensive sleeve on the street $ 7 Way to go new restaurant.

And F.T.R
Hay 1999 called they want there graffiti back. I mean really? 7 dollar played out drink menu and 1999 graffiti art on mainland? Who gave the green light on this?
Its just straight out bad taste.
Its a feature wall dammet, Surrey art really?
I will be given you another try in a couple months, please iron out the bugs.
