Heathen Brewery’s Feral Public House has been a part of downtown Vancouver’s food and drink scene since May 2015. Ever since then, people have been coming back for more of their made-from-scratch pub fare with a Heathen twist. The menu is as diverse as their beverage options, ranging from tacos, burgers, sandwiches, wings and more. The restaurant makes their own sauces, dough, soups, and dressings, and the meats are house smoked.

“I would like to see us become the staple brewery/public house of Vancouver,” said Keno Leighty, managing partner at Heathen Brewing Feral Public House. “I grew up here and remember Lucky Brewery. I want Heathen to be synonymous with Vancouver. I’ve managed business in the area for almost 20 years and love to see the growth. I just want to make sure we are a storied part of that growth.”
