While it’s not technically closed, big changes have gone down at Parq Vancouver’s bougie third floor dim sum spot 1886, as it’s no longer open to the public for a la carte dining. The eatery, known for its addition of all-you-can-eat dim sum and all-velvet-everything decor, recently changed things up and is now only available as an event and meeting space – so don’t show up on the fly.

In an email, Drai’s VIP Service Manager Dave Brown said that the club’s last day of business was on September 4, 2018. “After that date, Drai’s Vancouver will no longer be offering the leading nightlife experience in Vancouver.”
