One of my favourite places to take in Vancouver’s scenery and indulge in some fresh local seafood Pacific Northwest style and of course cold beer and local wines(also boasts an international collection of 1800 bottles) is the Sandbar Restaurant on Granville Island, Vancouver.
Its mostly always busy and there is a after work crowd around the main level bar on weekday afternoons, don’t let that deter you because the view through all the exterior glass walls on the main level or the upstairs patio is excellent! Totally like being a tourist in your own city.
The best part of the experience is the view from the upstairs(3rd level) outdoor covered patio, thoroughly outfitted with heat lamps and personal lap blankets for those chilly VanCity nights. Its hard not to just sit and catch the sunset and cheers the night away, maybe you’d be lucky enough to score a table with personal fireplace, maybe you are ok with sitting at the small bar but you def have to sit outside! The last visit ended with much scotch and rum on the rocks…ow!
