Destination Vancouver lists 140 taps here, the largest draft selection in Canada, under ceilings high enough to swallow the noise of a full Canucks crowd.
It works as a sports bar precisely because it is not only a sports bar. Screens ring the room for game day, but the tap list keeps beer people busy through the intermissions.
High heritage trusses, long communal tables, and water views toward the skyline and North Shore mountains give the room more daylight than any sports bar in the city. The Georgia Straight covered its False Creek opening as a major addition to Olympic Village, and the seawall still delivers a steady stream of patio traffic all summer.
Pints price like a chain pub rather than a cocktail room, which keeps groups settled for a full three periods. Wanderlog reviewers consistently rate the tap selection ahead of the food.
Hockey nights pack the long tables from the first puck drop, with jerseys outnumbering laptops twenty to one. Summer weekends bring seawall cyclists and brunch tables. Weekday afternoons stay calm enough for a quiet flight by the windows.
