Grab a cold one in Vancouver's Cambie Village
Cambie Village is a small neighbourhood, which means the places for dedicated beer enjoyment are few. But that doesn’t mean there still aren’t some excellent options for sitting back and enjoying a cold one, even if that means sitting back in your own living room. Here are five great spots for a beer along Cambie. [Image credit: iStock.com/Christopher Ames]
BierCraft Bistro
3305 Cambie St, Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W6Whether it’s to discuss the movie you just saw at the Park Theatre, a post-work meet-up with friends or a chance to call in the babysitter for a last-minute date night, Biercraft is your best bet on Cambie for amazing Belgian beers. Their list is impressive, and if you’re unfamiliar with the brands, knowledgeable servers will help guide your choices. They also have some great local beers on tap. Their appetizers are eminently sharable, not to mention to die for.
Original Joe's
2525 Cambie St, Vancouver, BC V5Z 3Y6This sports bar at the busy corner of Broadway and Cambie takes you away from the hectic traffic and activity at street level at its second-story restaurant and pub. With big tables for a crowd or more intimate sections for two, it’s not only a great place to watch the game, it also carries its own line of beers from Pilsner to red ale, as well as a couple of selections from Big Rock Brewing and rotating taps of local BC beers. Hearty and delicious pub fare is on offer to make game night complete.
Pronto Caffe
3473 Cambie St, Vancouver, BC V5Z 2W7While known more for its intimate, bistro-style space and simple yet excellent Italian food, Pronto at Cambie and 18th has a short but strong list of craft beers on tap as well as refreshing Italian brews Peroni and Birra Moretti in the bottle. Come in for a relaxing, beer-accompanied lunch, stop in for a quick beer after work or settle into a cozy evening with pizza and a pint at this quintessential neighbourhood restaurant.
