We're finally getting some good, consistent summer weather.

Nice uplifting summery pictures! Thanks, Giallo.

Saw this photo in a CBC story recently - I thought it was a pretty cool angle of the skyline that I don't recall seeing before. Too bad it's not higher res though:

That's a great angle. I got something similar last spring.

Don't like it. Makes us look like a shorter Sao Paulo or some other 3rd-tier Brazilian city.

Sao Paulo is the largest city in Brazil and accounts for 10 percent of the Country's GDP but it's third tier?

*or other

I like the angle. Looks more to me like a miniature Chicago.

Just delete the word "other" which refers back to Sao Paulo, including it in "3rd tier" => or some 3rd tier Brazilian city.

Great photos as always mcminsen! Am I the only one who didn't know the Tap Shack existed behind that water park at Coal Harbour? Just noticed it this year.

Possibly.

I remember taking out of town friends there many years ago. I think it was formerly The Mill Bistro(?).

I presume they were closed for most of the pandemic.

mcminsen · #**2714** Posted **Sep 4, 2022, 9:43 PM**

Actually, maybe they were open last year (first pic).

Second pic is from four and a half years ago.

They're pretty much seasonal. Only open during the dry months and close up during rainy season.

It's been there nearly 20 years; as Mill Bistro it was Daniel Frankel's first restaurant in 2003. He subsequently opened Tap & Barrel, and converted the Bistro into Tap Shack back in 2017. They seem to have adopted a new system of ordering by app, or at the bar, with no servers to take orders. It's getting some poor reviews as a result - but like many places is no doubt finding it hard to get staff. There are inside seats, and they used to open year-round, but that may not be true now.

Wow, 20 years! Can't believe I missed picking up on it. I guess I assumed from the seawall that it was a concession stand.

Funny I just assumed T&B bought them out. It's a nice outdoor spot, and a that fountain is a great splash park for kids, though I'm sure that's not the design.

They definitely closed during COVID, I guess we'll see how long they stay open in 2022.
