Vancouver's busiest dining strips include Robson Street and Denman Street in the West End, Granville Street in the Entertainment District, the converted warehouses of Yaletown and the heritage blocks of Gastown and Chinatown. East of downtown, Main Street through Mount Pleasant and Commercial Drive are lined with independent kitchens, pubs and cafes, while Kitsilano's West 4th Avenue and West Broadway mix local spots with national chains.
Happy hours are common across Vancouver, but times, menus and prices differ from one branch to the next, even within the same chain, and downtown locations may price differently from neighbourhood ones. Each Vancouver deal is tied to the branches that have confirmed it, with the date it was last verified, so check with the restaurant before you go.
