Marten Brewpub

Glad to see craft beer in downtown Vernon. My favourite was the BC Bud IPA. Tasted smooth with citrus notes. It does not contain any marijuana by the way. I asked before imbibing. Their Lager was perfect to the style which is sometimes difficult for craft brewing, so good job there too. The Spruce IPA was served flat to me, and tasted like a spruce or pine tree, which I did not care for. Maybe just the last of an old keg, so please taste for yourself. I also tasted the red ale, which was dark and a little harsh and overly bitter not to style I thought.

Food was great. Noticed many people ordering the fish tacos which were excellent. I enjoyed a pulled pork sandwich which was very nice, but I wanted more sauce. Just a drop or two on my sandwich as served was inadequate, but many people prefer the full smoked meat taste. Just a little more sauce would compliment, not overwhelm the meat.

The other thing I noticed is that the servers were all beautiful women in causal sexy clothes. It’s not like Cactus Club Cafe where the beautiful women are in black dresses. I noticed the customers in the full restaurant were likewise about 50% very beautiful women. There’s a lot of beauty to this place. The building interior is beautiful, the customers are beautiful and the staff all looked very attractive. Definitely a plus. Much to like here.

This place was fantastic! Beer flights, lots of yummy food. I normally wouldn't order something like a "buddha bowl" but it was full of stuff I like! Even little liked it! Hubby says his burger was perfect! Great dinner!

The beer is good and so is the food. The food is pretty good bbq/ upscale pub fair. The service I have found to be hit or miss. They seem to often have new staff and it can get busy. When it is a quieter night the service has been fine less sm when it gets busy.

It's a really beautiful pub. You will just like being in this room.
The food is delicious!
Also, Martens donates this space to the 100 Men Who Give a Damn for their quarterly meetings, and that deserves a sixth star for an already top shelf establishment. Thank you, Martens!

Super friendly staff, food and drinks came really quickly. Enjoyed the food, beer and atmosphere. Went there for a date night with my husband. He ordered the steak special, which was cooked perfectly and I had the black and white pizza... we also ordered a growler of porter to go. So good! Would recommend! :) server was shay
