Best patios in Hastings Sunrise

Hastings Sunrise is an up-and-coming area brimming with great bars and restaurants to serve the strongly millennial crowds flocking to the neighbourhood, including those with excellent patios for memorable summer nights. To the west, adjoining neighbourhood Strathcona has a similar vibe, and some notable patios to boot.

Here are the best patios Hastings Sunrise and Strathcona have to offer.

Campagnolo Roma

What could be better than enjoying pizza and a glass of wine al fresco? Campagnolo Roma’s charming little patio is the perfect space for doing just that, with friends. They also serve up delicious espressos, brunch, and a selection of craft beers as well.

The Slocan

The Slocan claims to have the best patio in East Vancouver. Facing onto Slocan and East Hastings Streets, it’s prime people watching territory and is within walking distance to the PNE. Enjoy classic pub fair like burgers and fries and “two fisted sandwiches,” as well as all-day breakfast and a solid selection of craft beers.

Platform 7

Platform 7 is right at the busy intersection of Hastings and Nanaimo, but has a gorgeous, secluded patio in the back. While it might stretch the meaning of the word “patio,” this garden oasis is a great spot to eat a fresh sandwich (and maybe a cheeky vegan pastry) and sip some Stumptown coffee.
