What to do and see in Downtown, Canada: The Best Dance Clubs & Discos
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.

We discovered the Alibi Room a little off the beaten path of the touristy section of Gastown. 40 craft beers on tap. The food is locally sourced and delicious. The chef/ owner changes the menu based on availability of ingredients so menu items change often. He creates only one dessert each night and ours included a beer infused fudgesicle, ice cream on shortbread cookie crumbs, roasted cherries, and a creamy fudge cake; all made in house. It also has an interesting eclectic decor. Worth checking out.

Fortune Sound Club is located in the heart of Vancouver’s Chinatown. Nuanced by the grit and grime of its historic locale, Fortune Sound Club seamlessly blends high and low by bringing up-from-the-street ambience into a clean and modern setting. What was once the infamous Ming’s Chinese Restaurant is now a revamped space focusing on innovative design featuring an official Funktion One Sound System
