You will get accused of stealing things, have the cops called on you, and the regulars there apparently have the right to kick you out if your table is having a better time than theirs. The Met Pub in Vancouver was not an enjoyable experience.
My Review of my night at the Met Pub in Vancouver in Point Form:
-
Food options are poor and involve only things that are deep fried. I would not ever want to eat anything out of their deep fryer
-
The location in gastown is alright
-
The girl’s washroom flooded and the Met Pub staff were not interested in doing anything about it
-
I thought the pitchers of beer to be slightly over priced (same price to get an equal amount of pints)
-
There were no servers that came around to the tables, you had to get up and get your own drinks. Which all in all isn’t bad, but getting up to wait in line can kill the buzz
-
Do NOT arrive before 9pm. You will be scared and want to leave. Actually, not going at all to the Met Pub in Gastown is a better idea.
-
Someone in our group was accused of stealing some random old drunk guys wallet, and the cops were called on him.
-
The karaoke selection was actually pretty good, but don’t let that fool you in to thinking that the place is awesome
-
The Met Pub was generally dirty and not well cared for
-
But here’s the overall summary of the night:
-
EVEN THOUGH, you tip the bartenders really well…
-
EVEN THOUGH, you bring in 20 newbies to the establishment to check the place out…
-
EVEN THOUGH, your table pours a lot of cash in to the establishment…
-
EVEN THOUGH, desipite the shape of the establishment you attempt to make the best of it and have a good time anyways…
-
EVEN THOUGH, your group is having a good time, and cheering on everyone participating in karaoke and singing along with everyones songs…
-
EVEN THOUGH, you’re still having a good time even if your karaoke choices are getting put aside so that the regulars can do their favorite songs…
-
… YOUR TABLE WILL GET KICKED OUT of one of the slummiest establishments (the Met Pub) I’ve seen in Vancouver just because one of the regulars is overly sensitive. She’ll think that she heard someone at your table insult her, then pick a fight with you, and when you argue back she gets her friends the bartenders to kick you out. Way to go cool girl.

There have been a few other excellent summaries of our outing to the Met Pub in Vancouver for a night of karaoke:
Kimli’s rendition of our experience at the Met Pub in Vancouver
Shan was hoping for a fun night at the Met Pub in Vancouver for Karaoke, but really it sucks
Darren was the one who recommended the Met Pub in gastown for Karaoke, and this is what he thinks of it now
So if one of your friends ever recommends checking out the Met Pub in Vancouver, it’s best to pass.
[...] Amanda agrees, the met pub is the worst bar ever [...]
[...] Hastings bar filled with toothless drunks and various rubby-dubs “ As a visiting albertian A said that “The Met Pub in Vancouver was not an enjoyable experience” Kimli says “The Met Pub in Gastown fucking sucks and isn’t worth going to, even if you’re [...]
Worst. Pub. Ever. And besides, why the eff would you go to the Met for Karaoke, when DJ Gogan/Supa Fly does Karaoke at the Jupiter Lounge – a NICE, CLEAN establishment!!!! Eff you Met Pub and all of your stupid hoboaoke twitty (titty?) toothless allstars!!!!
Ps – To the awful, dumb waitress – maybe you should ask your regular WHY she wants other paying customers thrown out. Because “you’re pissing her off” does not sound like a legit reason to me.
[...] (the 15th) We (Josh, Shan, D, & I) were invited by Amanda’s friends for Karaoke at some pub on Davie called Checkers! There was a lot of beer again! No [...]
