Was in the neighborhood with my sister. She wanted to sit and visit and grab a drink and food. We sat down, no one served us for 10-12 mins. I went to the bar, bartender got us drinks. Still no service after being there for an hour. My sister left and I ended up going to the bar to pay. Bartender asked if we received service. I said not at all, with 3 servers walking by us all the time. Not even a gesture of hospitality, they didn't want to come near us.
Bartender wrote off our bill and apologized- says he will talk to the 3 servers. But offences and hospitality and inclusion are not welcomed, especially if you are different in race, a non-white. Clearly there are divisions. Will think twice of telling others of going to Fountainhead, especially if you don't want to be judged for who you are.
Didn't even get to eat the food to know if it's worth the cuisine.
Sad for not being accepted for who I am now. Racism is real.

I am a regular customer and come to The Fountainhead with friends and family weekly. Each and every time the staff are awesome and very attentive. We usually have Luke as our sever and he is amazing, attentive and great to talk to. The food is always great and served quick and hot. It’s become our favorite place to go.

We initially came here because Granville Brewery was celebrating the release of their new Sour Peach beer and we had two complimentary drinks. Ended up eating lunch here and the food is absolutely amazing. The philly dip already has so much succulent gravy that you don’t even feel the need to dip. If you do dip, you get this incredible flavorful bite. We were recommended to get the Cajun Chicken Clubhouse with only two slices of bread and that was such a great idea. The sandwich tastes like it’s loaded with ingredients. The soup of the day was tomato soup and it had such a nice consistency and was so fresh. I’m not a big drinker of beer but I was actually quite impressed with the peach sour. It had a nice flavor to it that makes it not as bitter as other beer. Would definitely recommend coming here. We had to wait about 15 min for a table because it’s patio dining only right now but the wait is totally worth it. The service is also top notch.
Edit: We were recommended to get the dessert which I think was a cherry cheesecake with chocolate drizzle. It was so good! It’s not a heavy like New York Cheesecake. It s a soft, light cheesecake with what tasted like an Oreo crust. It was so good! And even though we were pretty full, it is actually a nice finisher to the meal. We split it between two people. The desserts rotate so it isn’t on the menu.

Best poutine I've ever had. I hope it wasn't a fluke... I mean maybe it was, but it was so perfect. Crispy, flavorful fries, great gravy, half melted cheese curds and a large portion 😋
Staff were also very friendly. Great place.

Horrible place. We came on a busy Friday night so a wait is to be expected but this night was intolerable. First our server brought me a Heineken when I clearly ordered a Corona. Then we waited nearly an hour for our plate of nachos which never materialized. Several other tables got their orders first while we were totally ignored. They didn't even check in on whether we needed anything and we had to flag a server down to enquier. He gave some nebulous, noncommittal reason while motioning to the kitchen. No real explanation was given. We called him a second time and he offered us free sodas or something, but still no tangible explanation for why a bar could not whip together a plate of nachos, let alone our main courses. Several minutes passed to no avail and we could no longer wait. We left, hungry, disappointed, thirsty and with a dogged determination to never set foot in this place again.

The employees are so friendly and the atmosphere is so welcoming - prices are decent too!
Emily Stremel
This place was amazing! The vibe was so friendly and welcoming, the drink prices were super decent, and the manager/server T was so funny and amazing; we visited twice on our 4 night visit to Van. Would recommend if you're looking for a good place to sit and chill or play some pool on a weekend :)

The patio is great for people watching on a sunny day. Neighbourhood pub with a variety of customers gay and straight. Food is better than average, lunch has 5 items for $8 each, including a half club sandwich with real chicken and bacon with choice of side. Brunch daily 11-2 prices around $11-15. Daily specials including soup and drink specials. Service is friendly and relaxed without being pretentious. Pool table and a bit cruisy after 9 pm.

Always a great place for food and drinks. The staff are friendly and not over-bearing like in some places. Get there early cuz this place is always busy!
Kieran Glen Nadeau
Wonderful atmosphere, great food and above all else great service. This pub is unlike most in the sense that the music is at a volume that you don't have to yell over you can sit with friends and talk, drink and have a good time. I am not from Vancouver but this pub is always on my list of must hit places in Vancouver. This is also my first experience where every night the manager walks around and shakes hands and checks in with each person at each table. Service is taken too a whole new level
Susana Yeung Alvarez
I would give 0/5. They're so fucking racist towards asians. Blamed my friend for looking sleepy but he has naturally small eyes because he is Chinese. We were denied service because we were all chinese. They are fucking racist towards chinese. I would never give them service. Especially the fucking waiter who served us.
Marie Eve
Good beer selection and the staff was very nice. Would definitly recommend!

The staff are exceptional, the food is inexpensive and quite tasty. The space can accommodate large groups and they also have an outdoor area. Definitely going back more often.

If you a looking for a place that actually cares about the community, this is it. My girlfriend and I went here after the horrible shooting at a gay bar in Orlando. A person from the community stops by and payed for everyone's bill, all he was asking was that we would do something nice to someone else that day.<br/>Besides from the community vibe the food is excellent and very reasonable prized, great patio and an extremely 'all are welcome' vibe
Angel Liu
4.5/5 Thanks Tangoo, Westendbia and Pork_ninjas for the feast! <br/><br/>Such a wonderful and happy time!I've been here a few times before and always had a splendid time. This occasion was no different, but with the addition of lots of FOOOOD, and somehow we ended up ordering a bunch of healthy options, which I am always happy to savour!The Fountainhead has a great lively, community feel to it. There are so many regulars hanging around, playing pool or just taking shots before going to celebs across the street (Oh, to be young again). <br/><br/>They also have a really cool heated patio. The service is so great, friendly and just feels like a burst of energy and sunshine. <br/><br/>TO SHARE From near to far, Wings, Coconut shrimp and Bruschetta<br/><br/>To be honest, I was skeptical of this Watermelon BBQ Chicken Wings ($11), even though it just won an award from the from Georgia Straight. Because my religion, my one true god, my personal heaven on earth is a perfect , juicy, unaltered watermelon.But, all my worries flew away when I tried these wings. This was tangy, crispy, with a slight lingering fresh watermelon aftertaste. It was really really good lol. I love that sourness, which made it less sweet than usual BBQ sauce. The sauce also made it have another dimension. I also ate the celery and carrot - they were fresh and crunchy. Good job! <br/><br/>Please read on more to see how I liked the mains!

Serving up the Davie neighbourhood with pub grub and drinks since it opened its doors twenty years ago, The Fountainhead Pub is the Davie neighbourhood’s hidden gem. We got the opportunity to sample some of their food and drinks and to see first hand just what this place has to offer, . bringing of course our appetites!

Overpriced food and booze. The food is just ok small portions basic condiments come in small portions and charge crazy prices for extra I,e, sour cream |Drink prices Stupid
LoveMyVancouverFood
Great place!. The best breakfast in the west end - by far! The Caesars (am I ever going to learn to spell this word?!) are the best - get one with the candied bacon and you won't be disappointed! Service is friendly. I went during an awards show which was playing on the tv in there and it was like a giant party. Tons of fun!
Simone Jones
This is a great place. The service was friendly and the food was amazing. My meatloaf was insanely good. We stayed until close playing darts and didn't feel rushed or unwelcome. I would definitely recommend this place.
SteKos
Great service. Upbeat vibe and clientele LOVED the nachos.
Cale Bosch
Great spot. Awesome LGBT pub/lounge. Stayed in Vancouver for 24 hours and decided to make this one place I stopped for lunch. Servers were all super friendly, loved the atmosphere, and Davie Village is a great neighbourhood. The french fries were quite possibly the best I have ever had. They had this incredible seasoning on them that was killer. The server told me their Veggie Burger was not made in house, but I tried it anyways. It was delicious. The patty itself was not huge, and the bun may have been a little oversized for it, but it tasted and looked great. Thanks for the great lunch while traveling!!
No Dessert Im Full
Mobile Review. The burger waqs good, it came with bacon and mushrooms for the 12 bucks, i did get the fries but there is no sub charge for a ceasar (take the hint restaurants!) Although there was no option for a half and half , c'mon!! Beer was good and on special for 4.74 a pint so I can't complain.
Jeff Vermuth
Awesome quesadillas. Perfect fries. Pleasant friendly service.
Amanda Dawn
Delicious brunch! I love it. Been many times. The service is always excellent and the food is wonderful!
Doug
Friendly Local. Typical pub food but a real comminity vibe to it. No pretense which is a plus on a street which is famous for attitude. Bartenders Joel, Scotty and T are awesome. Server Mike is rad. Pool table to boot. Awesome patio.Guy at bar reading newspaper is a staple. Say hi.
