Best of Vancouver: Drink

Now that I am living in Spain, I actually sometimes miss Vancouver. So here are my favourite places to go out for drinks in the city.

1. Alibi Room. I love the location and energy here….and of course their amazing selection of beer.
2. Subeez. This place has a lot of character. The food is fresh, local and delicious, it’s a great place for drinks and good conversation.
3. Benny’s Bagels. While a bagel shop doesn’t seem a likely place to hang out, Benny’s is the perfect place to have a beer, get some work done, or catch up with an old friend.
4. Railway Club. Upstairs bar with an interesting layout that attracts an extremely varied crowd. Has some great shows.
5. The Astoria. Pool and some good shows from time to time. I like this place because it is in such a sketchy part of town. I’d never come here otherwise.
6. Flying Bever. A bar and restaurant frequented by pilots, this is the perfect place to watch sea planes come and go.
7. The Kings Head. This place is so unique, it’s made up of cozy little wooden nooks where you can sit and drink beer.
8. The Five Point. Great layout, great atmosphere and great main street location.
9. Lamplighter. Cool pub in Gastown that is great for a girls night out of dancing.
10. The Whip. Odd location but a great place and great people. Also has a patio with heat lamps I think.
