Ghost Runners Brewery and Kitchen - Vancouver, Washington

Beth K.

Ghost Runners Brewery & Kitchen is a fantastic find, especially after our go-to brewery temporarily closed. Nestled in a light industrial area within a small warehouse business strip, it boasts a bright and welcoming atmosphere with multiple TV screens throughout the space.

Beyond great beer, Ghost Runners offers engaging entertainment, including trivia nights, music bingo, and a regularly held cornhole tournament. In fact, cornhole boards are always available, and guests can check out bags at the bar. Given how popular their game nights are, reservations are recommended. While bar seating is always first come, first served, and some tables remain open, arriving early (around 5 PM or earlier) ensures the best experience.

The beer selection is consistently impressive, featuring IPAs, Pilsners, and stouts. Even if they run low on their own brews, they maintain strong partnerships with other local breweries to keep the taps full. The food menu is equally satisfying, offering well-prepared sandwiches and thin-crust pizzas. We've tried a variety of dishes and enjoyed them all—my personal favorite being the chicken street tacos.

What truly sets Ghost Runners apart is its exceptional staff. They are friendly, attentive, and maintain great energy even on the busiest game nights. Service is efficient whether ordering directly at the bar or using their convenient app, which allows guests to scan a QR code, place food and drink orders, and continue ordering beer from their table.

Overall, Ghost Runners Brewery & Kitchen delivers a top-notch experience with quality beer, great food, and excellent service. Highly recommended!

Love all the games like ping pong, shuffle board, and pool. The huge projector showing the football game was also fun though there was no sound. There were a lot of kids running around which isn't my preference but the food was good and service was great.

A hidden gem, for sure. Friendly service and tasty food. It’s located within an industrial type setting and the atmosphere matches. Don’t let that deter you, though. Not a bad spot to catch a game—The big projector is impressive. Plenty of games located throughout.

Great brew pub in Vancouver/ Hazel Dell! Super friendly staff, amazing location with tons of indoor space and lots of outdoor space - and you can bring your dog outside and show the pup off.

All the beers I had were fantastic and the hazy IPA was my favorite. The pizza is a flatbread style of pizza and it tastes great. I didn’t explore the rest of the menu but it looks great and I look forward to exploring the rest of it.

Also, the staff was super friendly and helpful with info. And forgiving when we stayed a hair past close.

And there artwork is awesome. So yeah, super modern beers and awesome food. You won’t regret going here.

Not a beer guy but for Pi Day, decided to try their pizza at the recommendation of some friends

Picked up a build your own with a few meats/veggies as well as a BBQ chicken pizza

The BBQ chicken pizza was real good but still quite expensive for the size. These are small, maybe medium pizzas elsewhere, just six small slices. Im always glad to pay more for local and good quality food/ingredients but this is probably too costly for what it is.

The other pizza I ordered wasn’t that good at all. It was pepperoni, salami, onion, red/green peppers for $30. I feel silly but noticed right away how the toppings wouldn’t stay on the pizza that well. We ate half the pizzas on Friday. Went back to finish them today and realized they didn’t put any cheese on the pizza. No clue why as I certainly didn’t ask for no cheese, but… here we are spending $30 on a pizza that isn’t made right. Not ideal.

Their setup is large and I’m sure if you like beer, you’d be pleased but certainly can’t recommend them, especially for the food

This was our 2nd time attending a church event at establishment (I am Lutheran & we had a Brewed Theology & Hot Topics Events). There was a reserved section that was set up for our event. Orders were submitted through the code on the table. There were plenty of food options & drink options for all palates. Service was prompt and attentive. The place was big and inviting to where a number of things were going on but was not intrusive to others. Would recommend checking this place out!

We have been here multiple times over the last several years and it has gone incredibly down hill. The food used to be amazing, the atmosphere was pretty unique, and the beers were decent. However, this time was pretty much the last straw. We had a large group with multiple people complaining of the food being lackluster/burnt/extremely greasy. The pizzas were in a pool of grease and half burnt, and were scant on the toppings for their Reuben pizza. The "pulled pork" sandwich was cubed pork with extremely minimal fixings. Another sandwich has the two smallest pieces of bacon I've ever seen squished onto only half of the sandwich, so that it was practically just a roll with a slice of avocado. Their "flagship" IPA was not available at the time, so they chose to substitute with a far superior brewery's IPA (Fortside Brewing). The basketball game only had one basketball left, which for some reason they have decided to put the game right next to a large fire box that has been sealed off, and no other balls can be retrieved from when they happen to go over the wall. By the time we left, there officially were no more basketballs to be used for the game. I'm pretty sure you can add a netting or something to prevent that from happening. OR! Better idea, Don't put the game next to a box that you can't get into where balls disappear into a black hole!

We also have had the same waitress numerous times, and we feel as if she constantly has a bad day and gets increasingly more frustrated and abrasive every time we go.

One of the past times we brought our parents there to try, they were impressed with the pizza, but we were essentially shoo-ed away to use the table for more people because they didn't place enough "reserved" signs on the tables. After we had spent well over $150 on food and drinks.

If I want to spend $30 on pizza, I would much rather choose Crust Collective on the waterfront with ABSOLUTELY delicious beers.

I know they have a loyal following and trivia night, but I highly recommend going a few minutes further down the road to Barrel Mountain Brewing or Victor 23 for far superior beers and pizza, and you'll probably spend less too.

We checked this place out yesterday after having several people tell us we needed to try it out.
Upon walking in the door, we were greeted by the nicest guy. The place was so clean. There was a lot to do, pool table, shuffle board, cornhole, etc.
We ordered lunch and a few beers. I got the turkey bacon sandwich and when I say the quality was amazing.... it was amazing. The bacon was perfectly cooked, the avocado chunks were huge, the flavor was delicious.
Would highly recommend and will absolutely be going back.
