Advice Needed--Good Bars In Vancouver
Hello my fellow TFPers...on Tuesday some friends and I are heading up to Vancouver, BC for a three day binge of drinking. Everyone keeps asking us why we 21-year-old Americans are going north to enjoy ourselves in such a fashion, but I keep insisting it's because Vancouver has cooler bars than Seattle (cheaper bars too) and Canadians seem to have fewer taboos or hang-ups about drinking. AND the domestic beer is better--AND cheaper.
Anyways, I was wondering if any of you who live around the Greater Vancouver area have any good bars to recommend--preferably ones for poor university students with good drink specials ![]()

Oh man, I must be getting old 'cause I'm drawing a blank. The Pit (out at UBC) used to be a good place but that's a long way from downtown. I still go to Richard's sometimes for the live music but they aren't know for cheap drinks.

Blarney Stone - Great Irish pub in Gastown (216 Carrall)
The Cambie - Vancouver's oldest and cheapest pub (300 Cambie) Bourbon - Cheap and clean (50 West Cordova) The Yale - Sweet blues bar (1300 Granville) These are af few of the places I go, but I'm sure someone else can add some more. If you only go to one of these places, make it the Blarney Stone ... |

Oooooh!!! Thanks for the advice! The Yale looks pretty sweet; we're going to see what's going on there Thurs. as my traveling companions and I are blues fans. Everything else will be on tomorrow's Gonna Get Shitfaced list.

Blarney Stone definately. Totally different atmosphere from most of the clubs in Vancouver. Just a helluva lot of fun.
