Aleks — tier-2 pick: The Cobalt Cabaret is worth a pre-match stop when you want a proper bar atmosphere without the Stadium-adjacent crush. Best for groups that care about screens and pacing.

For busy weekend dinners and event nights, often yes. Walk-in works better off-peak — call or check their listing.
Depends on screens and crowd — ask staff, or use our pubs hub rankings for sports-forward rooms.
Use SkyTrain/bus corridors when possible. See Getting Around for DayPass tips.
