As two of Vancouver’s oldest neighbourhoods, Hastings–Sunrise and Grandview-Woodland offer a vibrant mix of commercial, industrial, recreational and residential spaces. The northern ends of both neighbourhoods meet the shores of the Burrard Inlet and provide you with a stunning backdrop of mountains and ocean views. The juxtaposition of industrial structures against the majesty of these mountains makes this neighbourhood feel unique. Nestled between the warehouses and factories are a number of hidden breweries, shops, artist studios, parks and eateries. Best explored by bike, start your day off with a pre adventure breakfast and end it with a beer on the beach and soak up the sky as it turns from blue to pink to black behind the North Shore mountain ranges.
With a wide variety of local craft brews (and a decent wine selection), this is the place to hit for a park beer (or five). The staff is friendly—and dog-friendly too so you don’t have to leave your pup out in the rain. They’ll even give your four-legged pooch a treat!
