Drinks & Nightlife
Drinks and boardgames! What more can you want? I don't recommend eating here, but you're guaranteed to have a good time. There's $5 shots where you roll a dice and take what ever shot you land on! Risky!

Sightseeing
Granville Island is walking distance away and is fun to walk around and try some snacks in the market. There are plenty of restaurants and stands to get treats or whole meals and the views are incredible.
