I love this spot! The food is top notch and the whole basketball NBA love, there’s nothing like it in this city! I went to watch the NCAA finals, the place is somewhat small and can get busy, but the staff made sure to accommodate for our crew and made us feel welcome. Highly recommend!

Fun hip spot on Main St for a snack and drink. Loved the decor and fun atmosphere. The spicy margarita was great. Shared the mile high nuggets and ribcity with a friend. I liked all the sauces they brought us - honey dijon, garlic aioli, ketchup. Fries were good. Was a little disappointed in the ribcity - it was way too salty and we got more bones than meat.

Absolutely coolest spot to watch an NBA game. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. Great selection of beers, and bomb spicy pineapple margaritas. They made two Miami heat fans feel right at home. Such cool and historical basketball decor, and a great crowd. Highly recommend to all basketball fans. Show up early if you want to watch a finals game— at least 30 minutes before game start. Hope to be back one day next time I visit Vancouver!

Went here tonight with a couple of friends and had an amazing time. The selection of beers were great (need to try the plum sour). Ordered a bunch of food and shared but we couldn't fault anything, everything tasted amazing. The best part of our experience apart from our server was, the Head Chef Victor came over to check on our food followed by the General Manager Sean. Really great touch to our night. It was that good we ended up buying some hoodies from the merc section of the restaurant. For sure will be back with friends. Thank you Courtside!!!!

Cool spot to visit if u want to catch a game. They have multiple TV screens around the restaurant and have cool basketball themed decorations. Ordered the victory burger and thought it was decent. I got it with fries.

Christopher was an awesome bartender—friendly, attentive, and made great drink suggestions. The popcorn snack was a fun surprise, super tasty with a little spice and green onion. Great vibes all around. I’ll definitely be back!

Vancouver has had a bit of a dry run in terms of comfortable, positive, and engaging community spaces (especially sports related). Thankfully, that drought has come near an end with the lively addition of Courtside to the Mt. Pleasant neighbourhood. The past few months have been a whirlwind for me; discovering Courtside has been a real hoop dream come true. I watched a game here during the series between the Lakers and Golden State this year. The place filled up quickly, and by the time the game was going hard, the energy in the room was electric. It reminded me of the atmosphere you have at an actual sports game where you’re in the stands with hundreds of fans, displaying their teams colours with pride; cheering, yelling, crying together, as one beautiful community embracing the game of Basketball. Courtside absolutely captures that atmosphere and brings it to the city.

Great spot for any sports fanatic. During the NBA finals we decided to check them out not knowing we needed to make reservations. They still managed to seat us by the window which was perfectly fine as it was quite busy. The food was GREAT and the drinks were definitely tasty. Great staff and great deco throughout the place. They also have patio seating at the back of the main dinning. I highly recommend this spot!
