Maple Ridge's most-voted pub, minutes from Golden Ears, with generous portions, daily drink specials, and a room that hums but never shouts.
232 Street
More infoThe Black Sheep has been voted Maple Ridge's best pub more times than anyone bothers counting, the kind of record you earn by being reliably good rather than flashy. Minutes from Golden Ears, it nails the basics: generous portions, and a different drink special every single day, so a second round is decided before the first is gone. Best of all, the room hums without making you shout.
Skip a reservation but go on the earlier side of the evening, the Black Sheep fills up fast on weekends and the patio seats out front are the ones to angle for in summer. Portions run large, so the move is to split a couple of plates rather than each ordering your own and tapping out halfway; the pub favourites and the wings are the safe crowd-pleasers. Check the day's drink special before you order a round, there's a different deal every day of the week and the regulars order around it. Don't miss whatever's on the live-music or events calendar; it's also a music venue, and a quiet pub date can turn into a proper night out without you planning it. Timing trick: it stays open to midnight (1am Friday and Saturday), making it one of the only places in Maple Ridge that'll still feed you a late plate after a show at The ACT down the road.
