Amazing beer and great pizza available all under one roof. What more could you ask for?
Good drink and yummy food!
Tried the beer and I was impressed! Good beer at a good price! Next time I'm would love to try the pizza, it looked very good!
Fantastic beer. Anything on Nitro is recommended. I had the Dry Irish stout. Absolutely delicious.
Awesome ordering system! Super dog friendly!
On my last visit I experienced a very friendly, and inviting welcome, which was a positive chance and much appreciated.
A great place to sit outside on a sunny day and enjoy yourself and have a cold one.
Great place for a brew, and they new burger bar is good too.
Great food. Great beer. Great patio and set up. Dog friendly. All the burgers were good. Poutine, yum!
For St.Patrick's Day we created some delicious dark & milk chocolate Beer Mosiacs using Gladstone's IPA. Absolutely perfect pairing! They were wonderful and our customers agreed. It's great to have the Brewery in our neighborhood!
Even in the winter its a great place to be!
Amazing brews and solid atmosphere
Great patio!
Great beer and amazing atmosphere. Pizza is great. Love the tables and out door seating.
The Porter is so good! The new burger bar is pumping out some great food... love the slider/full burger option for each menu item. Didn't eat one but saw several in our group and everyone enjoyed them. The curry fries were great and the poutine was really good with some sort of rosemary truffle oil. Beers great, food good... want to go back soon!
(Translated) Good pizzas and craft beers in this brewpub with a cool open concept style terrace for summer evenings (Original) Buenas pizzas y cervezas artesanas en este brewpub con una terraza estilo open concept muy chula para las noches de verano
Great beer, great food and usually good service.
Really good beer, reasonable prices for growler fills. The only brewery open on a Monday in the area.
The guys working always seem like they have better things to do than offer service.
Gladstone brewing is always good for a beer. Staff are friendly and the patio is a great dog friendly option. Burgers were ok but definitely on the small side. Buzzer was broken so I think our food sat on the pass for a while. I would definitely go back for beers.... but probably not food. I'm ok with that.
Their beer is good but I would rather drink a nice Fat tug at home or a buddy's place, where I don't get the stink eye. Also it is self serve , no thanks, see ya NEVER!!!
Well its a brew house. So you'll probably find a beer you'll like. Nice patio area that allows dogs. That's both good and bad. I counted 7 dog some not on leash. Saw a couple of them peeing on the planter box. So some irresponsible dog owners. Nice burgers and other treats food menu
Premium!
Great atmosphere, very good beer. I especially enjoyed the Belgian Single
Came here for lunch with my girlfriend, rude staff for the food line, with overpriced, poor quality food. Pretty sure they use cheesewhiz on the super nachos. However the beer is good. Get your beer here and get your food somewhere else
very cool atmosphere! good brews and friendly staff
Snotty teenagers pouring pints of quiet good beer. Nobody has got a clue what's in it how it's made or cares therefore, little or no effort is preferred. The way you, the paying customer is treated, is atrocious. Nice business model you've got going there, only works in the Comox Valley though. No food on Sundays!?! You can not be taken seriously.
Good fresh beer, nothing wrong with that. The brews are a little safe, nothing too bold or interesting but I've only tried the Belgian Single, IPA and NE IPA. They had more options beyond the growler fill station as well. Definitely worth checking out.
Friendly staff with an excellent selection of beer
Mediocre beer, locals want nothing to do with outsiders. Staff have a "here's your drink now get off my island" vibe.
Am i the only one who keeps getting brutal hangovers from drinking one beer here?
I walked into Gladstone's with a simple desire to escape the ever burgeoning gap between myself and the world. For once, I chose right. The almost half complete feel of the interior is a blessing in disguise. It yields a diamond in the rough feel. I took a seat at the bar, and promptly ordered a dark ale. The choice was a new selection, Czech Dark Ale. It was smooth, whisking me away to a place of comfort, aided in no small part by the scintillating conversation offered by the bartender. I then happened to spy with my little eye, a menu across the way in the aptly named Burger Bar. The angry burg stood out in all it's fiery expression. The slider was enough. It was hot to the tongue as in its own sahara. I loved every bite. It may not be everyone's taste but if you fancy the eclectic and avant garde then Gladstone's might be the home you're searching for wanderer.
Best beer in town don't look any further to go for a beer!
Great place for a burger and beer Safe protocols in place A comfortable atmosphere
One we found it we never left
The beer was great, but the food are epensive. Will go back for beer only.
The staff are always helpful and fun. The décor is great and fits what the place was before (a garage). If you like craft beer, you will enjoy there's, they usually have a flavour for everyone. It also sells quickly. They also a local pizzeria attached for when you sit there longer than you expected and realize it's dinner time.
Wonderful charming family environment with retro look and feel. A warm and inviting atmosphere a very unique micro brewery.
Watched a man hork through the nose on the floor. Approached bartender his response...."Well what do you want me to do about it?". Thanks during this time of Covid. This happened last night. Won't be back and letting everyone know that there safety may be at risk being at this establishment
Nice place to try out different flavors of beer and ale.
Veggie burger was amazing.
Rather mediocre. The beer is neither adventurous nor that great. The burgers were not a far stretch from McDonald's tbh. Expensive too. Tipped, but why- pretty much all self serve...
Like the beer and the food was so good!
Amazing selection of beers with local ciders as well. Super delicious wood fired pizza too! Lovely patio as well!
It would be absolutely impossible to not like anything about this brewery. The beer is just as delicious as the staff and has the atmosphere to match. This is a must when you are in Courtenay.
Great atmosphere. Great beer.
Great patio and great beer
Good food. Good beer. Great combination.
My daughter and I like to drop by for a cider and a bite to eat. The last few times the cider was so tart that we didn't even finish it on our last visit. My daughter got the sleeper salad and chicken - always good. I got the Belgium buffalo wings - not sure if they changed the recipe but they tasted exactly like Frank's hot sauce. Disappointing.
Fantastic Beer, and a fun heated patio. Love that there are so many local breweries popping up with such great beer. Gladstone has a fantastic location downtown making it one of the better local spots.
Always love coming here. Great beer, good food, love the dog friendly atmosphere
Really great beer. Staff is taking all precautions to keep the customers safe (online menu, online order, trays for ollecting used glasses)
Great locally owned and operated business with spectacular section of beer.
Very friendly crew, lovely tasting beers. Great central location. love this place and they have great food perfectly paired with the beers brewed here. Award winner Porter and cream ale.
Delicious pizza and micro beers
Amazing, friendly, heated outdoor patio. We really appreciated the huge heated patio as a way to enjoy a beer during these covid times. The patio had a great vibe with lively, friendly people. Beers were excellent.
50/50 burger and poutine. Burger was awesome, poutine needs a little more work between the cheese and the gravy ... If I walk in you better be prepared for a Gordon Ramsay critique, haha. Pet friendly patio is certainly key for me and Chewy. Pint of porter was good. No table service so don't sit there and wait like I did, just go up and get it. Live music was a nice touch.
Beer was great. Food is overpriced and will leave you hungry
Spectacular suds! The brewery has a great selection of brews (loved the Ortega Saison which had a wine, citrusy vibe) and a side door for growler refills! They’ve recently expanded the patio to include seating from the adjacent coffee shop so there’s plenty of room. Great location and ambiance to enjoy an afternoon with a beer in Comox!
Good tasty beer and the food looked good
Delicious burgers, great sides, amazing beers, lovely service, gorgeous outdoor heated patio and ambiance. Fun for friends or dates!
Great beer at great prices
This brewery and the beer they are producing have become the favorite of my husband and I. I'm an earth friendly consumer and really appreciate their growler refill service. Clean, refreshing beers that we enjoy very much and can hardly wait to return for our refill!
Solid COVID preventative measures. Chairs were a tad uncomfy for our butts. Beverages were tasty, including the non-alcoholic root beer and orange cream in bottles. The staff were relaxed yet professional and very welcoming. Patio heat lamps kept us nicely warmed while enjoying our beverages on a chilly July afternoon. An all around great place, whole hearted recommend!
Let's talk about these foam lines. They stuck like the court case against my estranged iguana!!! Man, sticky is the product of a clean glass. Tasty clean beer.
Excellent place. Food and beer was great!
Very cool and tasty craft brewery and pizzeria. Perfect for the summer.
Meh
A wonderful atmosphere at this place! Communal tables as well as individual, great beer and an upbeat vibe.
Great atmosphere. Great products. The $20+ designer pizzas are a bit much as that's all there is. For people visiting the city it's a good place for a beer but nothing else.
Really relaxed feel staff are friendly and the Decore is awesome ! The building used to be home to a mechanic shop so they kept some cool vintage garage items found there and it really works ????????
A gem in the heart of the Comox Valley. Located on Courtenay, they serve great craft beer and amazing burgers. The Grip It is the best chicken burger you'll ever eat!
5/5 for the drinks and the ambiance/service/general enjoyability. Their dry cider is superb and partner is a big fan of the beers. The burgers are tasty but $13-15 without a side is a little steep for what you get IMO. If you are planning on spending an evening there drinking, what you spend on food is likely balanced out by what you save on beer compared to a restaurant, but if you are a light drinker and on a budget, maybe eat before hand. Lastly re their poutine: I don't understand their gravy choice TBH, unusually mild from my experience. All that said, I still recommend it happily.
The man serving beer wouldn’t serve me because “my eyes were messed up”. Came across the island to visit a friend, and check out a local brewery, and this is what I get?
Great atmosphere And friendly staff who work there
Great Red Beer today with the New Age Burger. Excellent lunchtime stop. Will see you again soon.
Refreshing ambiance
Awesome food and beer!!!!
Their own brewed beer is good. The premises are dingy and the food selection is very limited.
Love the atmoshpere of this location! They have a good selection of beers and the live music is always a nice addition.
Funky, casual, good beer selection and good pizza...
Great place to come for good beer, good pizza, and sometimes live music. Awesome patio, especially in the summer.
Good selection of beers! Grab a burger, you won't be disappointed! Poutine the fries, every time.
Has lots of options for cider! Vegan options as well on the menu. Lots of outdoor seating where dogs are allowed. I The salmon burger was so good. really enjoyed eating at this restaurant.
Great Belgium beer ????
very interesting public space. you can bring your own food! IPA was the bomb. huge, potent beer, immensely flavourful, rich and complex. i would pit it against the best IPA's in the PNW. the Belgian was delicious. straight forward and quaffable, not cloying and soapy like so many belgian beers. nice mild hop character to finish. this will be popular for them. keep it up folks.
Awesome beer and great atmosphere! Always a stop to make
Great place for a beer and pizza! I love the pilsner.
Sat outside and used the website to order and it was the best “order from your phone” experience I’ve ever had. Scan in from your table, choose your items, pay with your phone, they bring it out to you. AND THEN the food is amazing. Had Grip It Burger and Parmesan Fries and both were ???????????? Absolute gem of a joint. Will be back.
Great burger spot with a solid thouroughput of cute doggos.
Tasty beer, nice atmosphare
Great beer AND food. I had the OilCan burger and garlic fries. Burger was delicious and fries were crisp and salty with enough garlic. Quite delicious. My wife had the veg burger and said it was one of the best she had in 30+ years of vegging. Stop by for a pint and a meal, you won’t be disappointed.
Always a great place to meet people and share a beer ????????
Just don't mess with the Pizza guy! They make awesome pizzas and have great beer.
It's good beer but their meatballs weren't the greatest. They tasted like superstore brand maybe next time I'll try the pizza.
Very good beer, really neat atmosphere
Roomy patio area, as well as space inside. Love the license plate light fixtures, very unique. The beer and service are great!
So good we came back for one last visit before flying out. Awesome beer and food!
Brew master Tak makes fantastic beers. Sales Rep Sarah is the nicest person on the face of the planet.
Tasty beer and pizza. Family friendly. What more could you ask for?
Good beers at a good location
Awesome staff amazing beer incredible atmosphere.
Great place. You can feel the love going into it. Also, great beer!
Ordered a couple of 50/50 burgers last.night, they were delicious, perfectly on time for pick up, the fries were also amazing. Will definitely get food there again. Staff was also friendly.
this is my favourite patio in the Comox Valley. the beer is excellent. They have partnered up with a great pizza shop next door which makes this spot perfect for weekend afternoons - if you can get a table!
Good beer. Good pizza. It's a fantastic way to take a lunch break when in Courtenay.
This is a cozy little brewery with a great west coast inspired tasting room with communal seating, cozy lighting and cribbage boards. There is a good sized covered outdoor patio with heaters and a pizza place shares the tap room. These guys love good beer and believe you should share it together! Only a few selections for now but bring or buy a growler and fill er up!
Great tasting beer, bring a growler to fill, or sit in the patio in the sun.
Best brewery in town! Great service, awesome beer, friendly staff, awesome patio. Dogs allowed on the patio too!
I love to pop in for a quick one - but there's always some there like a Normie and i forget about time and just enjoy
Great beer.....nice atmosphere.
Was very good. The atmosphere was top notch, really a sense of community and bonding which hasn’t really felt in a year or so with COVID doing COVID things. The staff was great and very accommodating, especially since it was our first time being there. The drinks were great, the burger was top notch. The only minor complaint I had was the fries were very salty, so if you get the fries, ask for light salt (unless you’re into salty foods). Definitely will come again.
Beers were good, the burgers are fantastic, very juicy and flavorful. We also enjoyed the patio and the very dog-friendly environment. The food portions were perhaps a bit on the small side for the price, but very good quality.
My fiancé and I come here quite a bit, and we always have a good time at Gladstone (we actually had our second date here 3 years ago). The brews are fantastic. If you aren’t a beer person, they offer a selection of ciders and wine, and have non-alcoholic choices for the DD! The staff are always friendly, and the patio heaters make for a great year round hangout spot!
The beer although not my favourite is something that makes me want to go back to get to know better. The staff were pleasant.
Tried new beer being a wine person who enjoys stouts & porters during warm weather added red ale to my beer pleasure
Beard guy had same birthday as me, 10/10 would recommend
Solid selection of brews. Really enjoyed the cream ale. Staff are pretty cool too
3 out of 4 times we've ordered food and then after waiting we've found out that the order was never placed. Beer tastes good but common, order food and paid for it but the order never made it to the kitchen 3 times in last 2 months. Either we have terrible luck or this place has got some issues. All I want is some French fries with gravey!
Great place to unwind, have a quality beer and meet the friendly locals.
Busy. Good drink.
Really enjoyed the experience we had at Gladstone Brewing. The servers were friendly and very informative about the types brews that are served. Definitely this was a great moment when visiting Courtenay.
Excellent good a few really good IPAs.
One of the best patios in Courtenay. Fries are delicious and very spacious area as they share with the coffee bar next store. Belgian Single is my favorite beer.
Good beer, delicious pizza, cool vibes. Enjoy the outdoor patio all year.
Beautiful pet friendly patio with good seating
The staff were welcoming and recommended great drinks! We also had the mini burgers and all was delish!! The seating area is quite busy, but very friendly. I think it’s pretty cool that there’s also a bakery that shares the seating space. You can go there have your drinks, food, and then dessert! Perfect! Saw a couple doggos too. That was the cherry on top.
Love the Scottish Nitro.
good IPA nice patio area on a nice day
Fantastic beer and extremely friendly service. A must stop in Courtenay.
Great vibe! Great patio! Great brews!
Great selection of really tasty beers! Nice little patio too ????????
A good place to meet old friends
Amazing service with great selection of beers
This local brewery is a true gem. the staff are extremely friendly and knowledgable about all the house-made craft beer offered, wine, cider and other beverages. Best burgers in town easily! the meat is so melt in your mouth juicy, and the vegetarian range is awesome because its homemade and creative, you can tell the Chef, Brandon, has put a ton of efforts into the recipes , so he gets a shoutout here aswell. a place where you can let off steam and feel at home, cozy indoors or on the heated patio. the music is an attribute to a great atmosphere, and it draws in a family friendly, social crowd. ( lots of cute dogs too) your one stop for beer, music , food and community!
Great beer, great ambiance. Busy place at 5pm on Friday.
Best patio around!!
Great spot. I recommend the Belgian Single and the Stout. Great patio and great atmosphere.
I’m really glad we stopped at Gladstone. Beer is good and the food is great! Really enjoyed the atmosphere. Next time I’m in Courtney you can find me here.
Unusual, think of a Walmart with self checkouts. Tip is automatic and you don't see anyone until your food arrives. $$$$. for what you get. Have seen it but I doubt I will go again.
Amazing
Great beer, wonderful people, and always clean washrooms.
Excellent beer and amazing 10/10 veg burger and fries
Great food, beer atmosphere, & really friendly people
Great place to stop after a few days of camping, on the way back home. Great Beer and Food!
Great beer. Great pizza. What else do you need?
Delicious beer, best veggie burger I've had in a long time (possibly ever) and nice big open patio. What is not to like!?
This place could drag Courtenay into the 21sr century. Many excellent beers - ask for a 'taste' if you're not sure. Perhaps the best thin crust Euro style pizzas in Western Canada! Family friendly, rustic, great value and well run. Gladstone has become my 'church'!
You can bring your kids, you can bring your dog and please bring your own ketchup....they frown on it when you ask for more.
Always great tasting fresh brewed beer and fresh made food!
Awesome as always! Love the staff and people there. It's like my 2nd home as feel so comfortable there! Good times ... Good friends! Love it! Thanks from Donna and Nick! ????????
Excellent Microbrewery, good variety of craft beers, favorites & limited time specials. Pizza is superb, delicious, often unique combinations. Staff is easygoing, friendly & helpful. Located across from the Courtenay Museum in the Old Orchard District. Imagine on a hot day, relaxing on their shady patio, washing down a scrumptious piece of pizza with a pint of icy cold incredible beer. Can life get any better then that. Maybe taking home a Growler or two, with a side chaser of pizza.
This place is great
OUTSTANDING BEER! The burgers are so yummy too!
Very god variety of beers and try the margarita pizza thin crust and excellent.
A good place to meet friends, with a nice selection of beverages. The food, however, is insanely over priced. I just paid $17.00 for a plate of nacho chips with cheese that looked and tasted like it came from a squeeze bottle! And who the hell puts cilantro on nachos?
Great selection of beers. Burgers, sliders and fries are great!
Our burgers and fries were amazing. Poutine was unreal and generous portions. I sampled all the beers and left very very happy, burp...
Very friendly staff. Casual and comfortable atmosphere. Beers are terrific! Glad we stopped in.
Always great!
Great beer options, friendly staff, and awesome patio space. Haven't tried the food but I have heard good things.
Great place to share a good beer with friends. Dogs are allowed on thr patio. Had big umbrellas for shade. You grab a table, then go order your beer and food. You pay first which is very English style. You take your drink bit they will bring your food. Prices are reasonable. Food selection is not huge pub style like burgers and such. Not great for appies. Would have preferred nachos with my beer. Got parmesan garlic fries. They were good. The garlic taste is very potent which I liked. Servers are great atmosphere is great. Highly recommend.
Really good beer, but probably the rudest staff I have ever experienced. I never write reviews, but it’s unbelievable that the customer service is so poor.
Beer is good of course but not a good place to unwind after work as seats are often taken up by families with young children eating pizza. Feels like a playroom not a pub for good conversation.
Great atmosphere, nice people, good se5
Good burger and fries. Love the Porter!
The best local beer I have ever tasted!!
Fanatic beer and the best tacos in Canada!
Best beer hands down, anywhere, period. Awesome staff and great vibe too.
I would give them 5 stars if the music played outside.
Amazing beers hats off the the brewer. Its Like to olden days here you don't get your own table but there is always a seat at one of their long tables. Don't worry the strangers like beer too!
Great beer, service and burgers
Great craft beer & atmosphere
great burgers, fries, beer & atmosphere
Excellent beer, including some nice tropical-esque Pales and the Belgian Single. Really tasty. Tacos available at the counter next door, which were good but not exceptional. Nice atmosphere at the location. Dog-friendly patio.
Just awesome! Great happy hour crowd, good food and the beer...
Was disappointed that the restaurant was packed with Covid and all. Did not see any social distancing. Way too packed for my liking.
Great beer, horrendous service. Bartender gave my tasting flight to the wrong person and told me it was my problem and he wouldn't serve me what I ordered. Loudly stated I poured the beers it's your problem now. Didn't buy anymore beer because of this man.
Good beer ???????????????? Great staff.
Best place in town for beers and amazing burgers!
Great beer and the experience was excellent.
Great burgers, great beers and great space! The patio is beautiful and a great place for dogs. The online ordering menu is super well design. They just forgot to print our order so we had to wait quite a bit, but we don’t regret the visit. Maybe just work out a better process for the order printing?
I like the beers here a lot, and the burgers are good too. The patio is the best in the city, but can be a but busy, and bit chilly in winter (though they do have heaters).
Love the beer BUT the staff attitude was very rude. Was really looking forward to the Belgium tripel. ..after buying one for my guy and myself I went to buy 1 more. I was told in very condescending manner by someone named Dan that I would be cut off after two. Way to poop on an otherwise awesome day... The pizza place next door was amazing though so at least there's that...
Tried 2 beers, both were good, didn't try any food
Nice addition to the local scene. It's premise is a social interaction venue. Food offerings are limited, but the beverages (not just beer) are ample. Inside, there are communal long tables. Outside, there many different seating options. Children and well behaved dogs are welcomed on the outdoor patio. Note that food will be served by staff, but alcoholic beverages must be purchased in-person while inside.
Nice brewery with counter service only. Loved the hazy selections. Indoor long tables and big outdoor patio. Good crowd on a sunday night. Kid friendly. Great tacos from the attached business.
Tap lady was friendly. All 5 beers tasted were very good. I look forward to seeing this brewery grow, they would be welcome in Victoria.
Apparently the place to grab a brew in town.
Recommended by all the locals and I must say I agree! Great selection of brews! Friendly knowledge staff!
I love that you can bring your dog! Friendly casual atmosphere and really good beer.
good beer made here. pizza is decent.
Came here for the first time and enjoyed the beer and the food. Tried a flight before having a pint since the taps all rotate with different beers which is nice. Also tried a veggie burger and parmigiana fries which where both good. It also has a nice large patio to hang out.
Busy, great service fast friendly. Kids in brew pubs bad idea, "parents keep it brief and take those brats home!"
Good range of beers and ciders, service was a little cold, but tacos were great and loved the patio and atmosphere on a sunny day.
Great beer and wonderful service. LOVE that you can order right from the table. Super fast...highly recommend!
Best freaking burgers, and the beers were awesome ????
Most of the time fantastic. When guerilla pizza was there, fantastic, taco joint ever great at all, but now you've got burgers it's back on top. Miss the sour, Belgian single is great. Glad to be back here
