Drinks & Nightlife
One of Vancouver's best microbrewery (my personal favourite), a 5 minute walk down the street. Try their award-winning authentic west coast pale ale ("33 acres of Ocean") or get a sampler of 4. There is always a local food truck out front serving good eats.

Sightseeing
In the early 1900s, Granville Island was home to factories, plants and sawmills. Things are a little different today—Granville Island is both a locals’ favorite and a huge draw for visitors. Technically a sandspit and not an island, the neighbourhood sits just south of the downtown peninsula, right under the Granville Bridge. The Granville Island Public Market acts as a hub of activity, but it’s also one of the city’s most important cultural districts with theatres, artisan workshops and craft studios.
