on the ice.

This classic city bar has
sufficient monitors to watch

romantic-like.

...really just yelling
'cause they're
sick of Coors
frickin' Light.
Squirrrel!
Hockey's back, and so is the difficult

our Canucks. Do you go collegiate
(spilled beer – ewww) or more sedate,
with food that you'd actually eat?

Do you want to
concentrate on your
significant other,
or do you prefer to
be distracted by the
surroundings?
Canucks Fan?
Finish this
sentence:
Crowds of
sports fans AT
A BAR are...
I said yes,
didn't I?
But I also like
Vancouver
beer.
No,
but I don't
like to drink
alone.
Yes
No. His idea
of a romantic
night for two is
watching the
Canucks.
Who does?
Roll with a
big group?
Like, really

With an ambience of an airy student
centre (and an appropriate devotion to
low price), this bar cross-checks pretense
at the door.
Red Card
560 Smithe St.; 604-689-4460;
redcardsportsbar.ca
Despite its dedication to gourmet pizza and
Italian-inspired high-end pub fare,
