Score on Davie

The Score on Davie is lighting it up all pride weekend with events from Saturday all the way until Monday’s hangover brunch.

Lips Resto is a new restaurant in Vancouver’s West End that hopes to inspire diners to eat, drink, and be social. The Lips Resto’s philosophy is to kindle that warm and fun embrace so important to any gathering of friends and family. That is why their dinner dishes are designed for sharing.

For Pride weekend they are hosting two official events. Their own party on Sunday called Head is $10 per ticket and for each ticket sold $5 will be donated to a charity that will help the Pride Community. They will have a DJ, canapés and feature cocktails. The event is being sponsored by Crystal Head.

They are the hottest new place on the West End since May’s opening and are already a favourite with local tastemakers like Reiko Mackenzie.
