Best Nightlife in West Vancouver

"The jewel of Vancouver’s vegetarian and vegan dining scene, The Acorn Restaurant (3995 Main Street), has consistently been lauded for its refined approach to seasonal plant-based eating. Big Seven Travel listed them as the #1 vegan-friendly restaurant in the world. A tour of the menu reveals many beautifully conceived and executed items, such as pan-roasted North Arm Farm black salsify with burnt grand fir brown butter, Mount Pleasant magnolia vinegar, parsley root purée, ox-eye daisy capers, and crispy salsify skins."

"The Acorn opened a few years ago, and they have already been voted #1 Best Vegetarian and Vegan restaurant in Vancouver by Westender Magazine AND Vancouver magazine. Even more impressive, Scout Magazine also included them in the list of 25 Best Restaurants in Vancouver (veggie or not!). Needless to say, this place is worth the visit even if you aren’t living that plant-based life."

"Enter through the striking, marble-framed doors and step past the futuristic bell-shaped light shaft, and you'll find a small, yet appropriately modern, reception desk that's suitably sized for a 96-room boutique hotel. The Opus was a gust of fresh air when it opened in 2002. As one of Yaletown’s first boutique hotels, it quickly became a part of the area’s vibrant dinner and nightlife scene, and its street-facing lobby-level bar, an eclectic den o’ sin, draws fashionable 20- and 30-something professionals."

"Yaletown was once a rundown ramshackle of warehouses, but gentrification has made it Vancouver’s hippest district. Symbolising this transformation is bold and bright Opus; a bohemian king of boutique hotels filled with playful art. Beyond the red-brick exterior, neon signs glow brightly and a palette of chartreuse, tangerine and raspberry demands sunglasses are worn in some of the 96 rooms."

"A post shared by The Granville Warehouse (@thegranvillewarehouse) on Nov 8, 2017 at 12:34pm PST. If you’re willing to battle through the loud music and dim lighting, you’re in for a wide range of dishes that cost no more than $4.95. Not just that, but there’s always a solid weekday special going on – AYCE pasta and Wing Wednesdays, for starters."

"Lined with logs for the sun spectators, this is the place to reflect on the day and take a few photos of some of the most vibrant sunsets you’ll probably ever see in your life. Sunset Beach Park is also home to an interesting art piece called Engagement, a 30 foot sculpture of two wedding rings. These were created by world famous artist Dennis Oppenheim, as part of the Vancouver Biennale."

"Sunset Beach is a popular destination, especially in the summer, but the green space behind the beach is equally as popular with locals looking for a place to play a game of soccer, meet friends and soak up the sunshine. Grab a drink from the concession stand and spread out on the grass - on a very hot day you might see someone bringing a slip N slide for everyone to slide down the hill."

"Sunset Beach Park does not put its name to shame, and the stunning sunsets you’ll see here while chatting with a friend over a few bites or brews will be worth the wait. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Kritsada Akkhapracha (@fedexfc)"

"Set just fifteen minutes’ drive to the west of town are the scenic and serene sands of Spanish Banks Beach. Lying alongside the shores of English Bay, it has an outstanding array of outdoor activities, as well as epic views over both the nearby coastline and Vancouver in the distance. Aside from lounging on the beach and swimming in the sea, visitors can play volleyball or soccer, and there are cycle paths, picnic areas and park benches dotted about."

"Located on Northwest Marine Drive about 8 km west of downtown Vancouver, Spanish Banks is possibly the most beautiful sandy beaches in the area. The beach is sandwiched between Locarno Beach and the University of BC and a cycling/walking trail connects them. It has three distinct areas: east, west and extension."

"We like the fun branding of this new brewery coming to North Vancouver. And, fingers crossed that we’ll like their beers just as much. Once they open of course, but they’ve already teased their first brews!"
