The 8 Best Things to do in Downtown Eastside, Canada
Vancouver was founded as “Gastown” by an Englishman with a penchant for beer and storytelling. Today Gastown is a historic section of the Canadian metropolis, and the lively pubs still reflect the area’s former status as a sort of community drinking center. The city’s forests, grand parks, and impressive suspension bridge beckon travelers to explore them, as do the city’s shops and museums. Relive the glory of the 2010 Winter Games with visits to Olympic venues and the marvelous Olympic Cauldron.

A super sampling of one of Vancouver’s best craft beer AND wineries. Food looked very good. We were in for a one and done pint/glass so we did not sample the food. Staff were great,courteous and provided a historical account of the building. First incarnation was a World War II airplane propeller plant. Check it out.

It is very interesting and educational. I live here and found out things that I never knew about. Worth while going to and if you have the time, take in a walking tour. That one walking tour was an eye opener. I like to go on the other walking tours however someday.
