With sharp, witty reviews of the best spots in town to quench your thirst, this is the pocket-sized booze bible for locals and visitors craving a night out on the town. Divided into 11 neighbourhoods, each one with a handy map, visit many of the new, revamped and unique establishments from the heritage bars of Gastown to the slick joints of Yaletown to the gritty pubs of the Downtown Eastside. The book includes a bar index for easy referral, 'On-the-Road' sections covering the Lower Mainland, Victoria, and the Okanagan. 'Top Three' lists covering best bars for drink, food and ambience, and an appendix of BC's award-winning and regional beer-makers. With Vancouver's long-overdue bar renaissance upon us, travel writer John Lee has compiled the first hands-on guide that toasts the city's newly-hot bar scene. Full-colour photographs by internationally recognised photographer Chris Cheadle showcase the diversity and beauty of Victoria and its surrounding environs. From spectacular Butchart Gardens to windswept Jordan River, this book features all the key attractions and landmarks, making it a memorable gift and keepsake. Cheadle's photographic journey includes: the Inner Harbour and the world-famous landmarks Empress Hotel, Royal British Columbia Museum and Parliament Buildings; the winding, scenic marine drive from James Bay through to Cadboro Bay, including Beacon Hill Park, Cattle Point and Uplands Park; the parks and historical sites in the western communities, including Saxe Point, Fisgard Lighthouse and Fort Rodd Hill; East Sooke Park, the Sooke River potholes and other special places along the West Coast Highway; the Malahat, where travellers can drink in the breathtaking view of Saanich Inlet below.
