Cozy & Intimate
Coquitlam's original craft brewery since 2017, with tasting flights that stretch from crisp lagers to genuinely weird small-batch experiments.
Lansdowne Dr / Pinetree, City Centre
More infoMariner has been Coquitlam's first craft brewery since 2017, long enough to nail the essentials: tasting flights that run crisp lagers through bold IPAs into whatever weird small-batch experiment is on this week. Order a flight each, compare notes, then share the signature smash burger and argue not at all. Monday brings trivia as a built-in icebreaker, Wednesday brings wing night. Either beats a stiff first-date dinner.
It's tucked in a light-industrial bay at 1100 Lansdowne Drive near City Centre, so it's drive-or-transit and there's parking out front. Start with a tasting flight rather than committing to a pint blind, order across styles so you each find your lane, then share a signature smash burger. The taproom's dog- and kid-friendly with a patio for dry days; time it for Trivia Monday or Wing Wednesday if you want a built-in activity, and don't miss asking what's on the small-batch tap, which rotates and never leaves the building.
