Nestled along the banks of the Fraser River in the historic village of Fort Langley, The Fort Pub & Grill has long been a local staple for good food, cold drinks, and unbeatable views. Whether you're a longtime local or a visitor stepping into Fort Langley's charming streets for the first time, The Fort Pub captures the essence of this beloved town—unpretentious, welcoming, and full of character.

Atmosphere That Feels Like Home

With its timber-frame architecture, warm interiors, and large river-facing patio, The Fort Pub blends rustic charm with a laid-back, coastal vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can comfortably show up in hiking boots after a stroll along the Fort-to-Fort Trail or sit down with friends for a casual evening out. Inside, the décor leans into the heritage feel of the town, featuring vintage photos, wooden beams, and a cozy fireplace that makes even rainy days feel inviting.

The Nachos That Steal the Show

Of course, the food is a big part of the draw—and the nachos are a standout.

Piled high and generously loaded, The Fort Pub’s nachos are everything you hope for when ordering this crowd-pleasing classic. Expect layers of melted cheese, jalapeños, black olives, diced tomatoes, and green onions, all balanced perfectly atop a mound of crispy tortilla chips. Served with sour cream and salsa on the side (with optional guac or protein add-ons), these nachos are a full meal in themselves—great for sharing, but honestly, you might want to keep them all to yourself.

For nacho lovers who appreciate a balanced chip-to-topping ratio, The Fort gets it right. Every bite comes with something, whether it's gooey cheese or a punch of spice from the jalapeños. It’s comfort food at its finest, perfect with a cold local beer from their rotating tap list.

More Than Just Nachos

While the nachos are undeniably a highlight, the menu at The Fort Pub covers all the bases. Classic pub fare like fish and chips, burgers, and hearty sandwiches are complemented by West Coast-inspired dishes and weekend specials. The drink menu features local brews, BC wines, and signature cocktails, offering something for everyone.

A View Worth Lingering Over

One of The Fort Pub’s best-kept secrets is its expansive riverside patio. On sunny days, it’s a hotspot for soaking up the view, with Mount Baker often visible in the distance. You can watch kayakers drift by on the Fraser, see cyclists pass along the trail, and enjoy a front-row seat to one of Fort Langley's most picturesque landscapes.

A Fort Langley Favourite

The Fort Pub isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a gathering place. It’s where friends meet after a weekend market, where locals come to unwind, and where visitors get a taste of Fort Langley’s spirit. With friendly service, generous portions, and a setting that feels like a second home, The Fort Pub continues to be a must-visit destination in the heart of this historic town.

Whether you're craving a plate of epic nachos or just looking for a place to relax by the water, The Fort Pub delivers every time.
