There are a variety of events, and there is something here for everyone (be sure check ahead so you're not accidentally attending an event that is not your thing). Also, with a diverse, and delicious, vegetarian menu (with gluten-free and vegan options), there's something here for everyone; even meat-eaters will be satisfied. There's a kid section

It's like stepping into a little piece of Polynesia...except in the middle of a city in the middle of a temperate rainforest (some things are right. other things are not. Those other things are just weird, and therefore worth seeing). The lack of windows is also a delightful way to hide from the rain.

Dark Table exits in a few places in the world, but this type of venue is not very common yet. It is truly a unique experience, and - if you don't have a Dark Table in your city - you should seriously consider checking this one out.

Some of the city's most well-known Italian restaurants, cafes and grocers are on Commercial drive. Though it's known as Vancouver's 'little Italy, the Drive has more than enough diversity to go around. If you're into great food, relaxed atmosphere and locals then the Drive is for you.

Afghan Horsemen Restaurant

If you've ever wanted to try Afghan food (probably) almost as far away from Afghanistan is you could get, go here. The food is simply amazing. It's also a great way to end a long day on Granville Island (which tends to shut down at around 7 pm).

If you haven't checked out the aquarium in daylight hours, and an event is happening during your visit, make time to check out these events (they happen monthly, or bi-monthly). If you think the Aquarium is something you should pass on your trip, my best advice is as follows: don't. Most people don't expect to love it as much as they do!

You're bound to have a good time here, and the all-ages environment means that you won't be out of place on the dance floor/at the event (no matter how old/young you are). The drinks are reasonably priced, the events are fun, and the environment is relaxed. It will appeal to a lot more people than a lot of the other clubs on Granville!

The Naam, in addition to being delicious, is also historic: it is one of the first veg restaurants opened in Kits, and it is probably one of the oldest in Vancouver. The menus include a lot of history about the role it has played in shaping the neighbourhood/community.

If you've checked out some of the typical downtown "Granville Street" clubs, or if you're finding a lot of bars downtown pretentious, Studio Records may be a great place for you to check out. According to their website, they are the first record store in North America to have a liquor licence. I

A mix of eclectic people from all walks of life gather up and down this street for an afternoon coffee, an evening ethnic meal or a nightcap at a trendy little spot. A gem location full of diverse options for food and art and design alike!

Because the pizza is awesome! The drinks are pretty good (and affordable), too. Plus, you'll have the chance to enjoy pizza in Vancouver's Little Italy. There are also TVs if you want to watch the latest "football" match.
You can pop in here for late(r) night food/drinks, too.

If you like live music, and if you like staying up late, this is a great place to stumble into after a late-night movie at The Rio, or after the place you were at before has closed. The music can sometimes be pretty loud if it is live, so it's not the best place for conversation (great for rocking out/avoiding conversation).

It's a bit of a dive bar, but that does not matter: there is so much fun to be had here, and so many people to meet. The profits go to a good cause. You never have to wait for a table, and you can learn a bit about Canadian military history while you are here. The drinks are also really cheap.

If you're a homesick Aussie looking to watch some Australian ...foot/hand...ball, this - according to my Aussie friend who relocated to Vancouver - is the place to go. The mix of Canadian and Australian culture is clear, and interesting. And, two words: Pirate Trivia.

The names of the food on the menu, the decor, the staff, and the atmosphere are all really unique, and capture the spirit of East Vancouver. It's a great place to catch up with friends; you'll be waiting forever! But, at least you'll be waiting somewhere nice.
