Score on Davie is the West End's definitive sports bar, packed wall-to-wall with Canucks blue and green on hockey nights and BC Lions fans during CFL season. The 40-plus screens ensure there's never a bad seat in the house, and the kitchen keeps going late for fans who stumble in after a Rogers Arena game. It's louder, friendlier, and more genuine than any downtown megabar.

Interactive exhibits let fans test their skills alongside tributes to Olympic heroes and CFL champions. It's the perfect way to spend the hours before a BC Place event and leave feeling genuinely connected to local sports culture.

Attraction

Rogers Arena

Home of the Vancouver Canucks and one of the NHL's busiest arenas, Rogers Arena sits in the heart of downtown Vancouver a short walk from the waterfront.

Stanley Park Seawall

Bike or walk the 10-kilometer Stanley Park Seawall, the world's longest uninterrupted waterfront path, with views of the North Shore mountains, Lions Gate Bridge, and English Bay.
