Where do the cool people go in Vancouver? Granville Online’s May Globus asks the city’s movers and shakers to share their top Vancouver bars, cafes and hang outs

It’s true: Vancouverites live the good life.

Not only do we have ocean, mountains, clean air and clear water all in one place, 365 days a year, we also have an insanely delicious restaurant scene, intimate boites and wateringholes manned by inventive mixologists (read: Shaun Layton, Justin Tisdall, Jay Jones, Dani Tatarin, Lauren Mote and more), bar none concert venues, cleverly curated galleries, hip boutiques and other hidden gems.   

For Granville’s new weekly “It People” series, we ask members of Vancouver’s cool-cat crew to share with us their favourite spots to eat, drink, chill and be merry. Check back every Friday for new posts, featuring gorgeous portrait photography by Tina Kulic.
