About King Taps
Waterfront casual restaurant at Lonsdale Quay in Lower Lonsdale serving rotating BC taps, brunch, and polished share plates with harbour views.
After a rainy hike or a SeaBus commute, the waterfront room at 123 Carrie Cates Court offers a welcome spot to settle in without fuss. This Lower Lonsdale restaurant balances high-energy casual dining with views of the harbour, making it practical for lunch near the Quay or late-night food following an evening at the Shipyards. Daily happy hour runs from 2 to 5 pm and again from 9 pm until close, while weekends feature brunch until 2 pm and Tuesdays bring half-price wine bottles all day. The rotating taps highlight North Vancouver breweries alongside regional BC and international options, supported by a bar program that includes spritzes, zero-proof cocktails, cider, and sangria for those navigating our damp evenings.
The menu extends well beyond standard pub fare to accommodate tables where everyone wants something different. Share plates like pan-seared chicken gyoza with house-made chili crisp and night market calamari with yuzu aioli sit beside tuna poke bowls, spicy vodka pasta, and steak frites. Mains such as baked lemon beurre blanc salmon and beef and pork ragu pappardelle show a polish that suits group meals without requiring formality. Prices remain in a familiar range for the North Shore, with share plates mostly in the teens and twenties and pastas starting in the mid-twenties. Can you think of another spot nearby where one person can order a Power Bowl while another enjoys truffle spaghetti with meatballs and a local craft beer? That flexibility defines the experience here.
