Relish first opened in 2004 and has long been a popular Vancouver party bar. In early 2010, Relish underwent major renovations and took on a more serious dedication to providing quality comfort food.

Chef Patchen Gallagher from Glowal and Deacon’s Corner pleases hungry taste buds with Short Rib Shepherd’s Pie, Duck Fat Steak Fries, Tourtiere and… read this right: Gnocchi Poutine. Patchen also brings his love for breakfast to Relish by offering breakfast menu items at any hour! What’s even better is the price – at $15 & under for entres and nightly drink specials, Relish is easy on the wallet.

Today Relish Gastropub is a classy, yet relaxed 85 seat pub that attracts a more sophisticated crowd who want to get off the Granville strip and tire of the pretentiousness of Yaletown. But make no doubt about it, Relish can still party. Relish is open til 2am on weekdays and on weekends, a DJ and dance floor keeps the party going til 3am.

Serving typical pub fare, the Morrissey serves lunch and dinner daily. On weekends, the Morrissey is typically standing room only at the front of the bar with tables for small groups at the back. On Friday and Saturday nights there could be a small line-up that forms outside but compared to the other bars and clubs in the area, the wait is not typically long to get in.

The Speakeasy is a come as you are type of place where you can feel comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans as top 40 blasts in the background. On weekends, you’ll also find a mix of club goers grabbing a bite to eat earlier or late in the night.

Junction Public House first opened as Pulse nightclub in 2008 managed by the Donnelly Group but has since switched hands to the owners of Davie’s popular Pumpjack Pub and has gone through extensive renovations to transform the club into a casual sports bar.

You can watch all your sports at Junction Public house on 7 flat screens and 2 projection screens. Junction also has pool tables and brings some old school fun back into the pub with a pinball machine and arcade games.

The Dover Arms is the clubhouse for the Glasglow Rangers and keeps sports fans content with football, soccer, canucks and most all other popular European sporting events on the tvs.

Typically more of an older crowd comes to the Dover Arms Pub for a pint and one weekends, they enjoy music from the cover band. Sundays are especially popular with the Bobcats who play mostly Beetles covers.

Special Nights:
Fridays & Saturdays: Live Cover Band
Sundays: Bobcat’s Cover Band (4pm – 8pm)

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.

The Kings Head reminds me of an old pirate ship with several levels to it filled with mismatched tables, chairs and upholstered seating. It remains a Kits favorite because it appeals to a low key, non-pretentious bar scene where everyone is welcome and feels at home.

Inside, a sunken dining room with cobbled stone brick walls and oil paintings give it an old tavern feel where Commercial Drive residents come with friends to share plates. On the other side, you’re welcome to sit at a long bar and sip on a pint. Note beer specials on Canuck game nights!
