Tap & Barrel • Shipyards

GlobalNorth Vancouvermoderate

Tap & Barrel • Shipyards is one of the best global restaurants in Vancouver for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in North Vancouver.

Tap & Barrel Shipyards occupies some of the more coveted waterfront real estate on the North Shore, and by most accounts it reads the room correctly — which is to say it doesn't pretend to be a downtown destination restaurant.
