Bridges

This cozy, waterfront pub, located on Granville Island next to the Public Market, is just part of an entire Bridges complex, which also offers indoor dining rooms and spacious, outdoor decks. The place, perennially busy, is a favorite of the after-work crowd, who gather to sample terrific, local microbrews and munch on tasty pub fare. Other pastimes include playing darts or catching the game on TV. Part of Bridges' strong appeal is its fantastic views of city, water and the distant mountains.
