10Best Pub
Steamworks Brewing Company
(Nightlife - Pub)
375 Water St, Landing Building, Vancouver  V6B 5C6 • 604-689-2739
Distance: ~333 m *
        Description: GASTOWN. At this microbrewery, steam used to craft the beers is city-supplied, and the brewing process is visible through the dining room's glass walls. It's an unusual method, but it produces great local brews, including a zippy espresso ale. Inside, dark woodwork and book-lined shelves add ambience, and from the expansive windows, you'll get views of the water and mountains. Upscale pub fare wards off hunger pangs nicely; afterwards, get moving with a game of pool, or simply sit back and relax by the fireplace.

Blarney Stone
(Nightlife - Pub)
216 Carrall St, Vancouver  V6B 2J1 • 604-687-4322
Distance: ~0.827 km *
        Description: GASTOWN. Always featuring lively Celtic house bands on the weekends, this Gastown-area bar packs in a crowd that is growing along with their reputation as a midsize live-music destination. Recent renovations include a new, larger stage, an improved sound system and better seating. A mezzanine offers another great sightline to the entertainment which also features touring artists and high-drawing local acts. And it is still a great place to quaff a pint and chat up the locals.

Irish Heather
(Nightlife - Pub)
210 Carrall St, Vancouver  V6B 2J2 • 604-688-9779
Distance: ~0.828 km *
        Description: GASTOWN. For a touch of genuine Irish spirit, this gastropub can't be beat. Irish owners provide a note of authenticity, as do the menu and drinks. Guinness is always accessible, along with a selection of other draft and bottled beers, not to mention wines and cocktails. Plus, the Shebeen, a small venue across the courtyard, carries a great number of whiskies, scotches and ryes. Traditional Irish fare peppers the menu, along with creative dishes that capitalize on Vancouver's great culinary bounty.

Cardero's Live Bait Yacht Club Marine Pub
(Nightlife - Pub)
1583 Coal Harbour Quay, Vancouver  V6G 3E7 • 604-669-7666

        Description: WEST END. Like many Vancouver pubs, Cardero's takes advantage of its waterside locale by serving fresh seafood (including great oysters!) and offering a nautical-themed decor. Its comfy interior invites folks to linger, which isn't hard to do at all, considering the place's appetizing selection of pub fare and its great drinks. Bolstering all of that appeal are wonderful views of the harbor and the terrain beyond. The adjacent restaurant serves creative, affordable, and upscale cuisine. Great outdoor patio and live entertainment too.

Distance: ~1.449 km *
        Description: DAVIE VILLAGE. With its dark wood detailing and draft beers, this pub has a traditional feel. It's also a tried-and-true hangout for the gay community, who take advantage of its daytime hours to meet for lunch, socialize and enjoy the outdoor patio. Great beers (bottled and tap, domestics and imports) join a substantial list of cocktails and shots for the partying set, and sandwiches, salads and burgers take care of hungry appetites. TVs, pool tables, darts and great music provide additional distractions. A fun neighborhood place.

Bridges
(Nightlife - Pub)
1696 Duranleau St, Vancouver  V6H 3Y1 • 604-687-4400
Distance: ~2.322 km *
        Description: GRANVILLE ISLAND. This cozy, waterfront pub, located on Granville Island next to the Public Market, is just part of an entire Bridges complex, which also offers indoor dining rooms and spacious, outdoor decks. The place, perennially busy, is a favorite of the after-work crowd, who gather to sample terrific, local microbrews and munch on tasty pub fare. Other pastimes include playing darts or catching the game on TV. Part of Bridges' strong appeal is its fantastic views of city, water and the distant mountains.

Dockside Brewing Company
(Nightlife - Pub)
1253 Johnston St, Granville Island Hotel, Vancouver  V6H 3R9 • 604-685-7070
Distance: ~2.355 km *
        Description: GRANVILLE ISLAND. A little sleeker and more polished than typical pubs, this hotel establishment gets points for its Granville Island location and its microbrews, which are crafted on the premises. TVs and a fireplace add instant appeal inside, but the patio is, by all accounts, one of the best places to hang out. The large space offers sweeping views of Vancouver and the water, and it's heated when the weather cools. Representative quaffs include the Alder Bay Honey Lager and the Haupenthal Hefeweizen. Food is available.

Distance: ~12.782 km *
        Description: RICHMOND. Located on the Fraser River, this pub features a great outdoor deck and a comfy interior patterned after a coastal fishing cottage.

Cocktails, bottled beers, hard cider and a few wines can also be had. Plus, the pub menu presents burgers, pastas, pizzas, spicy wings and fish and chips. Reservations accepted for large groups only.
