Since it first opened in 1995, Steamworks Brewing Co. has been a favourite of Vancouver locals and visitors alike. Steamworks gets its name from the famous Gastown steam line that runs through the building. The Gastown Brewing Company, which is located onsite and brews Steamworks beers, uses the steam to fire its kettles. The instant heat of steam allows for greater brewing finesse, and most importantly great tasting beer.

Whether you're in the mood for a thirst quenching Lions Gate® lager, or a full bodied HeroicaTM Oatmeal Stout, Steamworks has got a beer to please your palate.  Executive Chef, Frederic Gagne, has ensured that Steamworks isn’t just known for its fresh brewed beer.  He has crafted a delicious, west coast inspired menu so that food doesn't take a back seat.


  Steamworks has always been known for its distinctive and eclectic atmosphere and features a number of rooms that lend themselves perfectly to group events.  The stylish Über Lounge and adjoining atrium are perfect for larger functions.  The intimate and private Wine Room and Harbour View Room can be used separately or together for cocktails, dinners or both! in addition to serving food and drinks in the restaurant/pub section of the building, Steamworks features an on premesis liquor store which carries a full selection of quality wines from BC and around the world including Canadian Ice Wine.
