Sports Bars to Catch the Game
Wendy Underwood
SCORE ON DAVIE
1262 Davie Street – West End, 604.632.1646
scoreondavie.com
Distance: 5-minute walk
Price: burgers ~ $23
A raucous, fun-loving spot to catch the game right on Davie Street. The food here is surprisingly good – much of it made from scratch in-house. This place is home to crazy Caesar cocktails garnished with everything from a cheeseburger to corn dogs and tempura prawns.
GOODCO.
965 Granville Street – Downtown
goodcobars.com
Distance: 5-minute walk
Price: appetizers ~ $14, sandwiches and burgers ~ $20
A super-fun space that literally advertises that the “game is always on”. And as far as the game, take your pick because they’ll show hockey, football, basketball, European soccer leagues… heck, they even have skeeball and Pac-Man so you can play your own games.
THE SPORTS BAR / LIVE! AT ROGERS ARENA
99 West Georgia Street – Downtown/Yaletown, 604.877.6787 (open during scheduled events at Rogers Arena, i.e. Canucks games and concerts
thesportsbar.ca
Distance: 20-minute walk
Price: sandwiches and burgers ~ $23
In a crazy twist, this bar is actually right inside Rogers Arena—home of the Vancouver Canucks. You won’t see the ice from in here, but you will enjoy lots of atmosphere, some pretty great chicken wings, and (perhaps surprisingly) reasonably priced brewskis.
BELLS & WHISTLES
3296 Fraser Street – Fraser, 604.568.8040
bellsandwhistlesyvr.ca
Distance: 15-minute drive
Price: burgers ~ $22
A cool spot out in “the Fraserhood,” serving up solid burgers and wings, along with hard-to-find and exclusive craft beers on tap. Along with the two huge flat screens, you can shoot some hoops at the arcade sports games in the back.
