About this Neighborhood

Gastown is where Vancouver began, settled in 1867 and now a national historic site tucked against Downtown. The density here is remarkable, 124 restaurants and a staggering 53 coffee shops, backed by a Yelp base of more than 1,500 reviews at an impressive 4.7. The Foursquare read, pubs, cafes, lounges, gastropubs and cocktail bars, captures its blend of heritage brick and modern nightlife. Sixteen grocery options and seven fitness spots keep the neighbourhood livable under all that visitor energy.
