Vancouver's Nerd Bar
Storm Crow Tavern
Why locals love it
Think back to your nerdy/geeky youth (if you had one), and imagine where you would want to be as an adult. You would imagine StormCrow. It is filled decorations to appeal to all sorts of fandoms/nerd persuasions, and the wait staff is awesome (sometimes, wearing elf ears). The food is alright, and the drinks are affordable.
Why you should visit it
There are so many fun events. The Nerd Trivia Night (usually, on the first or second Wednesday of the month) is fun. They don't advertise it, so call ahead (other special events, like Game of Thrones screenings, are also common). Again, call ahead. The food is vegetarian, Gluten-Free, Vegan, and meat friendly. Everyone is happy at StormCrow!
Special tip
Arrive before 6:00 pm if you want a table (after 10:00 pm can sometimes work, too). Veg/Meat poutine is delicious
