Now a days it's more focused on Craft or at least modern styled pubs.
Port Moody has the brewery St at least, and there's "PubChains" like the townhalls or JRG properties in the burbs, and for some reason "nightlife" is considered by many outside Van to be "Earls, Cactus ect" LOL |
There used to be a few places around New West / Columbia Skytrain stations but they're either been lost to redevelopment or turned away from live music. It would be good to get something outside of CoV. At least nightclubs tend to close earlier now so it's possible to get home by Skytrain (not counting late night dancing on Fri and Sat nights). Having to leave early to be able to get home without it taking 3+ hours sucked ass.
Surrey Central is being built up as the SoF downtown. I really hope they have more than a movie theatre and a pub in their plans. Even one larger nightclub (Venue - Vogue size) with theme nights would be a solid addition.
(The place at Kingsway and Gilley had a few different names over the years - one of the last ones was Studebakers. Then it became a fitness place and now according to Google maps it's been King's Market for the last few years.)
