Seen In Vancouver #239: Rooftop Deck Lands On Commercial Drive

IMG_2249

Falconetti’s opened their long-time-coming rooftop deck this week. It plays host to several deuces and fourtops along a rail that overlooks Commercial Drive & 2nd, as well as some very modern-looking, wood and white-upholstered booths that didn’t really gel with the venue’s “dive bar” reputation. Regardless, the new outdoor space faces west and catches every ray of sun from the afternoon on. And – please correct me if I’m wrong on this – I believe it’s the only restaurant rooftop deck on the east side.
