Vancouver has a worldly culinary scene. Share some injera at one of many Ethiopian joints on the Drive, grab some sustainable seafood on Main, or treat yourself to award winning plates in Gastown. And don't forget your sushi.

Beer here is less expensive than at other places (note that no other drinks are served - if you hate beer/are allergic to beer, go somewhere else, or be kind and wait for your friends to have fun). Also, the craft beers in the Pacific Northwest, and Vancouver, are all delicately brewed, and delicious.

Best bang for your buck pub in Yaletown. Centrally located on Robson near the Vancouver Public Library. Its small size allows for a more intimate ambiance and better overall service than most pubs in Vancouver. You will not be disappointed.

Three words. Beer. Bourbon. Bacon. At Devil's Elbow, you can order those three Bs in flight form and boy is it a treat. More so if you like meat, of course! Prices are decent, the beer is local, and the staff is among the friendliest in town. I love my visits to Devil's Elbow, and not just because of the bahn mi!

There are so many fun events. The Nerd Trivia Night (usually, on the first or second Wednesday of the month) is fun. They don't advertise it, so call ahead (other special events, like Game of Thrones screenings, are also common). Again, call ahead. The food is vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Vegan, and meat friendly. Everyone is happy at StormCrow!

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.

Great shopping. Awesome new food to try. Lots of stuff to watch. There's something for everyone, of every age, at this diverse market. You can also see how the predominantly European and East Asian cultures of the city mix...and, how fantastic the results are.

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

It's a great place to stop by if you're passing by. They have a good menu which is pretty diverse. (They have options that are gluten and vegan friendly) They also have a good selection of local beer and wine if you're into that as well! I would suggest stopping by here on a sunny afternoon/early evening to enjoy local musicians in the square.

It's a quick place to stop for a meal and/or drink on the Drive. There's also a patio (which are pretty hard to find in the city), and a fairly high turnover of tables. It's also open a bit later than most places on the drive.

Well you have to eat, right? Right. You should have a beer, right? Double right. Then put on your walking shoes or hail a cab to this side of Vancouver. The menu changes, and if a beer runs out, don't worry they have an equally good back up. Also, it is one of the few places that serves up Storm Brewing's Flanders Red. One of the best beers ever.

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).

Although it's not located in downtown Vancouver, it's a relatively short train ride to Commercial Drive. Their portion is quite generous too. I would recommend having a large for 2 people, unless you are starving. The poutine is simple and good here.

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 want to grab a quick drink on a patio (or, just a quick drink), this is a great place to stop by. There's nothing remarkable about The Charlatan except for the prices, and the amount of seating (you won't be waiting for too long), but this makes it stand out on the Drive.

The train runs directly behind the bar, and you can watch goods from East roll in to the port; from there, they will be shipped across the ocean to Asia. Also, the relaxed, and diverse, atmosphere will give you a good feel for the neighbourhood.
