I stayed a few nights here. Overall, I enjoyed my stay, and it was affordable and I had a very comfortable stay. My room was clean, it was quiet and the bed was comfortable and I was well rested. Staff were helpful with assisting with questions about naerby attractions, and they also provide a discount when dining at their restaurant downstairs. I would recommend staying here while in Squamish.

We dined in recently at the Brewing Company and enjoyed the Daily Soup (home made vegetable), Fish and Chips and the Classic Burger. The ambiance in the restaurant was wonderful and we expect the views and the patio would be amazing in the Summer! So, looking forward to a Summer visit. We also enjoyed the Sky Pilot Pale Ale! Our Server was Alex and was very helpful, and professional. All in all a wonderful experience and the location is a bit of a hidden gem!

Pet friendly room had bowls, a mat and poop bags. Room was clean and staff were friendly. The rooms could use a little updating, but for the price you cant beat the service and location with a brewery pub attached and youre walking distance to cafes and resturants.

Wow, what an incredible experience! I was in the area for a business trip from Abbotsford and stopped by for lunch. I tried their lunch special with a veggie burger, drink, and fries; absolutely delicious! The food was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The staff were wonderful, and the manager and chef are truly gems. Great food, great people, and an overall amazing spot!

We ordered the daily soup and it was really creamy and comforting, perfect for a winter evening. We also tried the dinner special for $30, which included a lamb shank. The lamb was very good, tender, and full of flavor. I personally would have loved a bit more sauce, but overall it was smooth and delicious. The service was excellent — our waiter was great and made the best recommendation for the drink. I had the black ale, and it was very tasty and clearly good quality. Overall, a really pleasant experience with great food and service.

The restaurant is gorgeous and it has simple food like burgers with great beer. Kids menu provided. There's a $20 burger+beer deal at lunch sometimes.

This review is specific to the Howe Sound Brew Pub. This is the daughter of Ali Hansen speaking. I'd like to thank Iliass for giving me and my family an amazing experience, he has great people skills. The Howe Sound Brew Pub is very lucky to have him. We stopped here before the North Pole Express and were very pleased with the service we got. From MATEJA
