Dive bar that’s like the older brothers basement suite in an 80’s movie. When not lounging on the well worn couches, get to know total strangers in a game of pool or darts. If the front door is locked enter through the alley. Pleasant soundtrack.

One of our favourite things to do on a rainy day in Vancouver. Bloedel is a domed tropical floral conservatory and aviary built in 1966 at the top of Queen Elizabeth Park. The perfect place to take a coffee and have a little vacation from the rain.
