Where to Catch The Blue Jays World Series Game in Vancouver

It’s been nearly a decade since The Blue Jays were in the World Series, but tomorrow (Friday, October 24) marks their return and restaurants all over Vancouver are amping up to support the Canadian sports team. Whether you truly love baseball or just want to enjoy a killer happy hour with the crowds who do, there are plenty of spots in the city warming up for Friday’s first pitch. 

Here’s who’s serving up game-day meals and drink specials so you can sidle up to the bar and cheer on the Jays. 

BC Kitchen (Parq Casino) 

Inside Parq Casino, BC Kitchen offers a combination of chill, modern and stylish, with plenty of screens and comfy seats.  If you want an exciting game-day atmosphere, BC Kitchen is a great choice. Happy Hour runs from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and from 10 p.m. to midnight (Friday and Saturday). Enjoy $6 beer, $8 wine, $6 highballs and 25 percent off select food items. For something with a bit more bite, try their $17.95 “Beer Combo,” which includes a 14 oz House IPA or Lager paired with your choice of burger, Margherita pizza or fish and chips. Casual, comfortable (and just steps away from making some pretty big bets).
