This is one of the few places that I really like going to on Granville. You don't need to show up SUPER early to get a seat and the service is a lot better than it used to be.

Good drink prices. Good music. You get the bonus of a mixed clientele.…More »

This place has a BALLER patio, right in Gastown. The daily pizza is great (the turkey was my fave) and the drinks are reasonably priced.

Although I've heard differently, the service…More »

Elwood's is open late. Elwood's is narrow. Elwood's is awesome.

One night in November, I stumbled past Pub 340 and into this gem. Complete with a DJ spinning, Red Stripe stubbies and a friendly dishwasher that drank with us all night, this place was excellent.

While I've never eaten here, I definitely have had a few drinks. The depth and selection of the beer menu puts most of the city's wine lists to shame.

For extremely cost-conscious drinkers, this might not be the place -- most bottles go for around…More »

I'm a trash-food connoisseur, especially downtown. These are my favorite places to hit when I'm hungry and I've had a few. And, yes, it's ordered.
