Vacation Mode On: Top-notch places to grab a drink at YVR Airport
There are pros and cons to travelling. Obviously, the part where you get to go on vacation is amazing, but the part where you get stuck in airport security lines or when your flight gets delayed, those moments can suck.
There is one thing that can make it all better. It’s a happy place filled with joy and smiling folk: the airport bar. And apart from the fact that sometimes the drinks cost an arm and a leg, we really enjoy them.
Here are six bars and restaurants in Vancouver Airport that are worth a visit.
Canucks Bar & Grill
Canada is famous for its hockey team, and arguably Vancouverites are some of the most loyal and fierce fans going! So why not head to the Canucks Bar & Grill and get one last taste of hockey before your flight! Grab a craft beer right from BC, a wine, or a cocktail, and pair it with an item off their seasonal menu.
