Black Bear Neighbourhood Pub has closed after nearly 30 years

The dreaded day for a much-loved local gathering place in Lynn Valley has come. The Black Bear Neighbourhood Pub has officially closed its doors. It now joins the growing list of recent restaurant closures in Metro Vancouver.

The North Vancouver destination for good eats and craft beer had informed patrons of the closure in May of this year via social media posts.
