⚽ Local Tips for World Cup 2026

  • Old-school Vancouver pub — low prices, loyal regulars, no fuss.
  • Smaller TV setup — fine for one featured match, not a multi-game hub.
  • Comfortably off the main tourist drag — shorter lines at the bar.
  • Cash-friendly culture; card works but tip in cash if you can.
  • Ask what's on special — board beats the website.
