Pier 7, Seafood restaurant and pub in Shipyard Square, North Vancouver, Canada
Pier 7 is a seafood restaurant and pub on two levels located in Shipyard Square, with heated patios that offer direct sightlines to Vancouver's downtown towers across the Burrard Inlet. The interior and outdoor seating both take advantage of waterfront placement.
The venue opened as part of Shipyard Square's redevelopment, which repurposed the former industrial waterfront area. This transformation brought dining culture to a location that once served the region's shipbuilding heritage.
The restaurant reflects the working fishing culture of British Columbia's coast, making visible the daily connection between local waters and the kitchen. Visitors can observe how the relationship between fishers and chefs shapes what appears on the menu each day.
The location includes a private dock where fishing boats deliver directly, so arrive early to secure a spot during peak times. The heated patios make it accessible even in cooler months, though the outdoor seating fills quickly when weather permits.
Fishing boats arrive at the private dock throughout the day with fresh catch, and diners can sometimes spot them during their meal. This direct boat-to-table arrangement is uncommon in restaurants and creates a tangible connection to where the food originates.
