Storm Crow Tavern

The “nerdiest” bar in Vancouver may not seem so nerdy after a couple of spiked concoctions. A boozy banana pie milkshake with Banana Bols, vanilla vodka, ice cream mix, and a brown sugar and graham cracker rimmed glass will definitely get your mouth to water. With a name like Tardis Banana Pie, we might just have to have two.
