The Henry Public House

Nice atmosphere, great food. The tuna quinoa salad and peach tea is what keeps me coming back!

Love this place all around, brunch, lunch and a night on town here is a great way to spend some time.

Seriously a great spot. Excellent service, excellent food and all at a really good price. Get a huge plate of hot wings and a beer for $ 10. Great deal!

We stumbled across this pub yesterday afternoon a friend and I were looking for a place to lunch. Very nice place! Crowd was not too uppity or douchbaggy, yet they weren’t skids. A good middle of the road bunch of folks!
The hockey game was on so there were quite a few people there. Our waitress was on fire. Came around a lot but not in an annoying way. She was on top of making sure we had drinks all the time. I was drinking ceasers and they were done just how I like them. I ordered the street tacos. Amazing! And at $ 4 each i was stuffed after 2!
I’m pretty critical of customer service, and I’d say the service we got here yesterday was top notch. My only hesitation is when I found out it was a chain pub. I’d rather contribute to the little guy, but I’ll come here again

Had lunch here with 4 other people the other day. We originally sat at the front of the restaurant, but were forced to move because the ‘tables’ — they aren’t your normal tables were placed so close together that 2 people could no seat themselves with a single guy seated at the next table. You also have zero leg room because these tables are tall, square and solid — not comfortable particularly with no space to squeeze in and out. We asked to be seated at a conventional table, so we were moved and it was fine.
Then comes the waitress. I hope the Henry is listening because this young lady should not be in the business of service to paying customers. While she was friendly, she was extremely forgetful (to say it KINDLY) and downright lousy as a waitress — her name was Maddy T. She never told us her name, but I went to the trouble of finding out so I can burn her name to memory to ensure she never serves me again. Not sure I spelled it correctly but I’m sure you will know.
She was not familiar with the menu and could not answer questions. She was also not able to describe the beer my friends were asking about. I ordered tea (non-​drinker) and I did get tea, sugar and cream but nothing to stir with. The beer 2 people ordered was delivered to the wrong people and they noticed only after tasting it at which time it was uncomfortable to trade.
The second beer we clarified who should get what and she said WE were wrong because each ordered the opposite. I don’t think she even realized what she did! The entire time I was there, I was never given another tea or hot water. I asked for it 3 times and nothing arrived. She then tried to remove my cup and dish when I asked if I could get that hot water.
One of our vehicles which was right out front was hit by someone who backed into it, and a nice fellow sitting at the window came over to tell us before they took off. One of my friends in her hurry to get up spilled her full beer all over the table. I asked twice for napkins as there were none at our table nor was there cutlery and again she did not arrive even after we told her a beer was spilled! When I asked again, she gave me her bar rag! Does this woman think I want to touch a nasty bar rag that did not look clean? It sat on the table because I wasn’t about to touch it and it stayed there the ENTIRE time we did. I moved to a dry spot — but the sugar and cream cup was full of beer and I asked several times for new cream an sugar and never got it, so the extra hot water I finally got didnt do me any good ugh.
We were there at 2:30pm, and the place was not very busy, and Maddy had a lot of time to lean on the bar talking to the other waitress, but her time would be better spent WRITING down things that escaped from her brain the moment we asked for them. Everyone at our table commented on her lack of ability, which takes away from a nice lunch we were trying to have with friends.
I have had great service as well as bad service, but this is right up with the worst.
The only reason I gave 3 stars and would even consider returning is because my food was good and the reports from my friends on the food also high praise.
Now while I know that spilling beer is not a restaurants fault, don’t most good waitresses just bring another in a case like this one and not bill for it? At other pubs, they do this and also ensure the non-​drinkers are not ignored. That would go a long way to keeping a new customer which we all were. I can tell you my friend was too shy to ask about a spillage policy, but I know she was disappointed to see the charge on the bill because she is still talking about it.
I’ll give the Henry another try, but not if Maddy is serving. If I can’t get around her, I’ll be down the road at another spot.

If I could give half a star, this would be a 3 ½ star review. I like The Henry for the neighbourhood pub feel and the great service. The cheap weekend Brunches are good, solid food, and really, who can complain for the price! Benny’s are good, yolk’s cooked to perfection. The hollandaise was a little cheesy, but still tasty. I’m a big fan of the Rustic Veggie flatbread the Caesars. We’ve tried the perogies, the crispy fries, street tacos and chicken fingers. Enjoyed all of them. Of all the JRG group establishments I’ve been to, The HENRY is my favorite.

The Henry Pub… Cloverdale.
Warm, rustic décor, wide open concept design… cool pub. A shame about the grub. I had no idea it was a self-​service
napkins or cutlery served. Teeny portions… almost appy sized. Only saving grace was our discount coupon.
You should not go.

Great for Sunday brunch, 6 $ South West Skillet is my go to and never disappoints. Well seasoned. Only gripe, two times now my female server has been morose and not on top of things at all. My friend and I both ordered tea, the girl brought out tea… but no sugar. Took ten minutes and I had to go ask another server to bring the sugar and take our order. Just a pet peeve, I hate when this happens. Very slow service but I still love the food and will go back. Apparently it turns into quite the rowdy bar at night so will have to check that out sometime.

Been here twice, usually hang out in Vancouver, but when you feel like staying local, you wanna go somewhere nearby… You try to find something close. Well let me tell you, the henry is something else, the doormen were so racist its not even funny! There was a separate line-​up for white people and a separate line-​up for the brown folk. I’ve never felt racism and discrimination to this degree in my entire life. They were waiting until the brown people left the line/​up, and we were at the front of the line for approximately 50 minutes, that’s 10 minutes short of an hour, until they let a few people in, and of course they were of caucasian descent. If you actually read this, take it as a warning Cloverdale wants to stay a white dominated area, so if you’re not white by birth, it’s in your best interest to stay away.

I party around the world and have got to a few spots up here in BC.
I really enjoyed The Henry
Waitresses came and refilled us all night.
DJ Yeppa was spinning that night and I enjoyed his mixes. I Find most places in BC play out of date music (with me from the states) He had some up to date music and was enjoyable.
The place was a mix of people real nice.
We ordered some apps and they were great. If you looking for a nice time and in Canada drop in this spot for sure.

Unfortunately, we are done with the Henry. 3x out of 4 exceptionally poor service for one friend, 4x out of 4 for another. It’s a shame because the Henry is a decent hangout with good food. Half price food on Tuesdays which kept us going back. Unless this place pulls up its socks, it will be swirling the drain sooner or later.

Stopped into this place on the way to several other places in the area. We were both hungry and all I’d had was coffee for breakfast. Not wise for me when going into retail establishments. We were looking for parking to go to Retro Mod, and I happen to see a sign that said it had $ 4 breakfasts ’til 3pm on Saturdays. I instantly got a flashback to The Townhall in Coquitlam (which I could have sworn I wrote a review for, but can’t find). That’s because it IS just like that place. It’s one of more than a few pub-​like establishments owned by the Joseph Richard Group. They very much remind of the Donnelly Group. Blech. I generally don’t knowingly go into corporate «Mcbars», but we were hungry, and since we don’t really know the area, we figured we’d give it a shot.
It was just after 1pm, on Saturday, prime time for brunching. There were maybe 4 tables occupied. Not busy at all. The options are pretty decent for $ 4 — a typical Benny but you only get one egg and a half English muffin and hash browns. You can order the other missing half for $ 3. Still a reasonable price. There’s an omelet, and the typical eggs, 2 strips of bacon or sausage, hash browns and toast for $ 4. There were a couple other things, but I don’t recall. My man got an omelet, and I got the regular ol’ bacon and eggs deal. No Hollandaise. Yep, that’s right, you read correctly. Why you ask, when this is what I ALWAYS do when going to a new place for brunch? Well, because I’ve been here before. In PoCo, at the above mentioned Townhall. It is a cookie cutter cut out of that place. Which is likely, (although I can’t confirm as I haven’t been) the same as all the other Townhall locations and public houses they own. They even have the same painted gold accents on wrought iron surrounding the raised section of the seating area. I don’t recall the Hollandaise being that good at the Poco version of this. Same menu. Same kinda service. Same feel. Same music, same everything.
The eggs were done slightly more than I asked for; the rye toast seemed like it was just regular whole wheat but I suspect it was just low quality bread; the hash browns were these nasty orange looking deep fried, universally diced cubes of potato. The exact opposite of what I call real hash browns. It was definitely a $ 4 breakfast. That being said, it was better than the last few breakfasts I’ve had at The Five Point on Main street in Vancouver. This is not a high standard, nor much of an endorsement, but it’s half the cost of the same thing at Five Point. They also have brunch drink specials — Mimosas for $ 3. BUT they fall rather short in this category, as I’m pretty sure there is merely a splash of sparkling in that flute, the rest is juice. I prefer the opposite ratio. The Five Point has them beat for that, as well as any other place I’ve been for brunch ’cause they are not shy with the booze.
The food was Ok for a $ 4 breakfast, honestly, you can’t expect too much. The server was Ok. Will I go back? Meh, unlikely. I am not a fan of chains of restaurants/​pubs and tend to avoid them. The place has no personality to speak of, and felt like it was trying really hard to be something it wasn’t. Much like the Townhall in PoCo.

Food is alright, (weekend breakfast is by far the best, an a great deal)…but personally I hate how roudy and loud it on on weekend nights. More like a club than a pub. No thanks

When it comes to Saturday breaky, I admit, I am about as hard to please as the monarchy. I may smile and say I enjoyed it, but I know inside that I have had better.
Well, I can tell you for a fact, this is the best $ 4.00 or for that matter better than any $ 15.00 breakfast I have «ever» had!!! The chef totally nailed it!
The eggs were nice large omega 3 with beautiful dark yellow yolks and were cooked perfect — sunny side up (not easy to do) and still hot when they came to the table, the spicey spuds are a work of art and the sausages I had were perfect. Even the portions ans presentation are better than anywhere I have been, and trust me, I get around.
This place is a total gem for breakfast… I wish I could give it 2 more stars.
I am holding up a score card with 10.0 on it. \0/​\0/​\0/​\0/​\0/​\0/​\0/​\0/​Yay!

What I’d imagine most women want to do to the main bouncer here.

Lunched here twice, the pulled pork was so salty I walked out of there a dress size bigger than when I came in. The next time I went I ordered a chicken taco — way better and reasonably priced. The salad and burgers ordered by my lunch mates got excellent reviews.
The inside of this place is so comfortable and well laid out — love it. I will give it a few more shots and try different menu items just because it is so pleasant to sit and have lunch there. I have no idea what it is like at night because I am old, domesticated, and dealing with kids when other people are waiting in line at bars.

As most people know this used to be the old strip club in Cloverdale, now its been renovated into a pretty nice looking public house. The menu is lacking. They claim they have «gluten free» options but as I discovered there was only one menu on the item that was listen as gluten free. And to add insult to injury that item wasn’t even GF!!! It was a barley and mushroom soup. Most celiacs know that barley is not GF. When I confronted the chef about this he tried to tell me it was gluten free barley, then he checked and discovered it wasn’t. He said he was going to take it off the menu right away but when I went back a few weeks later, it was still on the menu. Hopefully they read this review and actually do something about the menu, the last thing they need is a law suit on their hands from making someone extremely ill.
