Located beneath Chill Winston in Gastown, offering various styles of live music, trendy food and drink menu and historic vibe with brick walls and low lighting. Check out their website: very cool design! Odd that their washrooms are co-ed: reminds me of the underground New York clubs back in the day!

Parks & Nature
Rent bikes at the bottom of Denman Street or along the seawall before you get to the park and bike (one way) around the seawall. Great views, fresh breezes, lots of photo ops and places to stop along the way (3rd beach is a favourite and there are rest rooms about 1/2 way round at the kids water park). You can bike around in 1 hour but opt for 2 for more to soak it all up! There are trails inside the park too if you feel like getting off the main seawall: Beaver Lake in the heart of the park is lovely and Lost Lagoon is great for duck watching!
