CRAFT Beer Market English Bay is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated restaurant openings coming up, so here’s your first glimpse of what we can expect from this concept in an oh-so-coveted waterfront location.

The new West End outpost has taken over the multi-level address where The Boathouse used to operate.

In terms of design, patrons can look forward to decor influenced by Vancouver’s West End, complete with locally sourced art and even CRAFT’s first-ever “serverless sections,” which allow people to order via an app and seat themselves.

The new location will boast another first for the company, a bottle shop. Here, guests can purchase reserve craft beers and enjoy them for dine-in and takeout.

CRAFT’s menu will offer up its signature selection of 100+ beers, ciders, and meads, alongside a menu of comfort foods.

CRAFT English Bay is set to open later this year. We’ll keep you posted on an opening date, stay tuned.
