Sorry, Dix is now closed permanently. On January 29, I published an article about brewpubs in Vancouver, and said that I would try to visit all the ones on my list within the next 2 weeks. Well, I’m making pretty good progress so far, having already visited Dockside Restaurant, Granville Island Brewing, and Yaletown Brewing [...]
I remember they had this giveaway last year, and I was skeptical at first when I heard that Denny’s was offering their Grand Slam breakfast for free, so when I went there with my girlfriend and sat down, I was expecting some kind of a catch. To my surprise and delight, however, there was none [...]
