As far as sports bars go, Cinema Public House plays it all. Right in the downtown core on Granville Street, Cinema is an easy pick for catching any sports including NHL Canuck games, pay-per-view events, UFC, World cup soccer, etc.

Cinema holds the progressive, chic and modern style of Donnelly Pubs with high-ceilings, black stained and brushed granite oak walls, ‘Octopus’ chandeliers by De La Espada and herringbone pattern tile on the floor. Cinema also adds subtle hints of old theatre nostalgia to the room and re-purposed desk lamps to achieve the cool, low-light atmosphere that Donnelly Pubs are known for.

While quaint at 148 seats, Cinema Public House also has quite a unique layout with different nooks and crannies to explore. On Fridays and Saturdays, DJs play indie dance tunes, electro and classics past and resent where a dance floor is made by moving tables in the back room with it’s own bar.

Cinema opens daily at 11am serving up innovative pub food. Featuring caprese salad with fresh bocconcini, braised short rib poutine, slow roasted Alberta beef sandwich and an organic BC spring salmon burger. They also host a weekend brunch with buttermilk pancakes and classic eggs benedict.

At a capacity of 60 people, Eight 1/2 makes a great intimate venue for private functions and smaller events where you can book the place for the night.

Forum Sports Bar will be the Granville strip’s hot spot where pro athletes in town will be making appearances.

After the games are done, Forum will offer night club entertainment with a dance floor and resident DJ Storm.

Subeez has a full service kitchen offering a tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. You can come with a group of friends, grab a booth and enjoy a casual and non-pretentious atmosphere. If you’re not up for food, Subeez also has more of a lounge area in one corner, right beside the entrance, with high tables and bar stools. In the summer, you can enjoy food outside at one of their pick nick tables on the sidewalk.

Walkers, cyclists and rollerbladers pass by the bar with floor to ceiling windows to enjoy the outside view. On a summer day, the Pirate Pub patio can’t be beat!

In winter, the Pirate Pub quiets down without all the tourists and summer traffic but you can head down to the pub for a chill place to watch the canucks with drink specials most nights of the week. At night, it still has it’s charm with the view of Granville Island and lights from the moored boats beside.

On weekends, you can stroll down to the Pirate Pub for a brunch.
