More infoPatina settles the argument that a serious smokehouse and a real brewery can't share one address in downtown Port Coquitlam. Pulled pork, ribs and smokehouse wings get as much attention as the tanks, the beer is brewed steps from your table, and there's a gin cocktail list nobody saw coming that turns out genuinely good. Order too much.
Aim for the 2-6pm happy hour if you can - the pints come down and the patio is the best seat in the house when it's warm. Order a flight first so you can argue over which house beer wins (it is the most fun two dollars you'll spend on a date), then split the BBQ rather than ordering solo plates - the pulled pork, ribs and smokehouse wings are built for sharing and sharing is the whole vibe. Don't miss the gin cocktail list, which quietly outperforms the beer-bar expectation and is the order that makes you look like you know the place. Note they're closed Mondays and the kitchen can lag on a busy patio, so if you're hungry, order food the moment you sit. It's a five-minute walk to the Coquitlam River, so cap it with a short riverside stroll to walk off the ribs.
