My wife and I used came here when we lived across False Creek. We still visit every few months. The place has high ceilings, benches, and tables. There's not a lot of space, but it's airy. There's a big glass wall showing the tanks where they make the beer and there are regular tours which is a major draw for tourists. In fact, all summer the bar's overrun by tourists and you can only rarely get a seat. The service is slow because it's often busy, but we were so regular the waitresses at least gave us a smile and apology. There's no real food to speak of other than chips/salsa, jerky, etc. That's OK if you're only stopping over, though, and not going for a meal; we always go/went after a walk around the Creek.

The pub features its own house beer. Years ago GI beer was a bit watery for my taste but in the past 10 years or so it's really improved. The winter and maple ales are way to dark and sweet for me but they seem to sell well. There are some good standbyes like the pale and IPA and lager. These are served cold and you can get tester sets or pints. The beer goes down very well stopping in after a good walk.
