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 [...]
Located at the corner of Mainland and Helmcken, Yaletown Brewing Company has been in business since 1994, and it’s one of my favorite brewpubs. Their website claims that it’s “Vancouver’s original and best Brewpub.” I can’t say that claim is true, since there are so many good brewpubs around here, but I’ve been going to [...]
Last week, I posted an article detailing my trip to the Dockside Restaurant, mainly to try the beer there that is made at their in-house brewery. I had mentioned that I was a bit too full at that time to try what is probably their best beer there: the Jamaican Lager. Well, I decided to [...]

One of the things I really enjoy about living in Vancouver is the superb selection of beers that I can get in almost every direction. I have many favorite beer drinking places — some of which I will mention in future articles — but I have to say that my all-time favorite place to go for [...]
I’m absolutely not the kind of person who would line up all day to see a movie when it first comes out, and in order to avoid crowded theatres, I usually wait for around 4 weeks or longer before finally going to see a popular movie. That’s why, even though Avatar has been out for [...]
A few days ago, a friend of mine wanted to go out for some fish & chips, so it was up to me to decide on a good place. Sometimes, if I wanted to get some exceptionally good fish & chips, I’d go to Steveston and order it from Pajos. But Steveston is a pretty long haul from [...]
