Paddlewheeler Pub announced its closure on Facebook on October 3, 2023.
In the social media post, the pub owners announced they found themselves “victim to rising inflation and government taxation.”
“As we close the doors of the Paddlewheeler Pub after 37 remarkable years, we wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude. Your unwavering support has been the cornerstone of our success, and we couldn’t have embarked on this incredible journey without each and every one of you.”
The pub opened at the original New Westminster Quay in 1986 and was loved by regulars for its comfort food, such as smash burgers, tacos, and nachos.
