Stepping into Turquoise Goat feels like walking into a ’90s kid’s bedroom and a video game all rolled into one.
Vancouver’s newest board game café is freshly opened as of this past weekend, but it’s already become one of the city’s coolest, most nostalgia-inducing hangout spots.
Address: 122 West Hastings Street, Vancouver

Hazukido has opened its first Vancouver location in Yaletown.

It’s not the first and it’s likely not the last, but the new spot at Broadway and Cambie Street is the most recent opening for Jollibee in Vancouver.
The Filipino fast-food chain has finally launched its second restaurant at 2549 Cambie Street.
Address: 2549 Cambie Street, Vancouver (second floor of the 510 West Broadway building)
Switch

Finally, the time has come: Switch, a new spot for karaoke and Izakaya-style eats, has officially opened in downtown Vancouver.
From the same folks behind Fantacity, downtown Vancouver’s first fully licensed private room karaoke venue, Switch is a massive space and improves on some of Fantacity’s more outdated features (like the sticky songbooks!).
Address: 1339 Robson Street, Vancouver
