My personal favourite for a happy hour (between 3-6pm) and some fresh $1 oysters and excellent $5 wine. I go there with my girlfriends a lot. Aim for the patio upstairs, its classy and beautiful! (They don't take reservations for happy hour, so there might be a line) ($$$)

Drinks & Nightlife
The Diamond
6 Powell StGreat for drinks before hitting GasTown for a night out.
If you're into dancing and meeting people this is a good place to spend a night out. I am not personally into the bar scene, but if you are, I would recommend to explore Gastown for some great bars and dancing.

If you are ready for a hiking challenge Grouse Grind is lots of fun, especially on a warm day. It gets pretty busy in the summer so go early if you don't want to hike with many people.

Most worn athletic brand in Vancouver. You don't have to buy, just go in and get amazed about how much this stuff costs. Gotta admit, as an owner of the famous Lulu pants, I love them and consider it the best $80 spent lol
