Uncle Abe's - Vancouver

The happy hour here is fantastic! The regular prices are great as well. The local clientele is wonderful. The only small drawback is that there is only one restroom. When both patios are crowded, it can lead to a bit of a wait.

This bar has a fantastic atmosphere that feels relaxed and welcoming. Although it might appear simple, it boasts an excellent selection during happy hour. The service is remarkable, even with only one staff member working at the time. While the food choices are somewhat limited, they do offer dishes from the Shawarma restaurant next door. The $5 beers and $8 cocktails are the highlights of their happy hour, making this a perfect place to enjoy on a warm day.

We ordered the lamb nachos, and they were truly exceptional. The service on the patio was top-notch, and the atmosphere was really delightful.

The service was another highlight of our visit. Our waiter struck a nice balance between being relaxed and attentive, which added a pleasant touch to our experience. However, despite the charm of the dog-friendly atmosphere and the pleasant service, I'm not sure I would return because of the mixed experience. In summary, Uncle Abe's is a straightforward neighborhood bar that's ideal for a few budget-friendly drinks and a casual evening. I can see its appeal, especially with the happy hour specials. While the pet-friendly policy and the ability to order food from the establishment next door are definite advantages, the cleanliness and maintenance of the place leave much to be desired. Personally, I view Uncle Abe's as a place to satisfy my curiosity for one visit rather than a spot I would frequent regularly.

The restaurant is just as you would imagine: budget-friendly, inviting, and pretty tasty. Locals frequently dine here, and they are very friendly towards dogs on the patio. The only drawback is that the outdoor tables tend to be a bit dirty. Aside from that, it's a great place to eat. Personally, I like the fries more than the nachos, but I recommend trying both to see which you prefer!
