A no messing around guide to the coolest things to eat, drink and do in Vancouver and beyond. Community. Not clickbait.

Where to Book Your Holiday Parties

As we do every year when the holiday season approaches, we ask members of the Scout Community to fill us in on what they offer in terms of private rooms, buy-outs and so on for their special events and staff parties. For the sake of efficient browsing, we’ve listed the venues alphabetically and simplified their details to include just their seating capacity, location and contact details, and links to each so you can click out and really dig in. Bookmark this list, as it will grow as the holiday season nears. If you’d like to add to the list, please reach out to Thalia Stopa via [email protected].
