There are lots of places to try, but a good first stop might be a two-for-one special at 226\/228 Esplanade East. There you\u2019ll find\u00a0La Cervecer\u00eda Astilleros<\/strong><\/a>, a Mexican-inspired craft brewery, in the same building as\u00a0Le cafe Brocante<\/strong><\/a>, a boutique winery and wine bar. Head upstairs to Le cafe Brocante to sample some wines and nibble on charcuterie, or head downstairs to the brewery\u2019s taproom to grab a taco and a beer. The Salted Lime Lager is a local favourite that tastes great on a hot day. While you\u2019re there. Be sure to check out the neat tile work on the walls \u2013 all of those tiles were made in Mexico using traditional techniques.<\/p>\n

Half a block east on Esplanade you\u2019ll find Copperpenny Distilling Co.<\/strong><\/a>, a North Shore gem. You\u2019ll know why locals love it as soon as you walk in. The bar is owned by a couple who both worked many years in the movie business, and they built a space that is so cool you\u2019ll think you\u2019re on set yourself. Note that the cocktail prices are on the high side for the North Shore \u2013 a Sea to Sky Martini will cost you $23 \u2013 but you\u2019ll know what you\u2019re paying for when you taste it. Can\u2019t decide what to get from the extensive menu? No worries \u2013 you can order a flight of cocktails to give lots of things a little try.<\/p>\n

Ready to move on? You\u2019re literally next door to your next stop. Head into\u00a0Shaketown Brewing Co.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for the best brewery setup for making new friends. Long shared tables line Shaketown\u2019s welcoming space, providing a perfect place to talk about the latest game while sampling the beers on tap. Shaketown specializes in a few low-alcohol beers, including the 3.0 per cent Friendly Lager, winner of the Best International Light Lager award at the 2026 World Beer Cup. The Pre-Prohibition Pilsner is also a local favourite.<\/p>\n

You won\u2019t have to go far for your next stop either, as\u00a0Beere Brewing Co.<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is just across the street. Their patio is a great place to sip a brew while watching the excitement of ships, trains and planes coming in and out of the harbour. The Go Easy pale ale is always a crowd pleaser, while the more adventurous might want to sample Pinky Tuscadero, a raspberry lemonade sour that uses berries picked just down the road in the Fraser Valley.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still standing, you can head one block north to continue your tour with a trip to\u00a0North Point Brewing Co.<\/strong><\/a>, a local favourite for hanging out with friendly staff in a chill atmosphere. Their big patio is a great place to sit in the sun and grab a pizza and a beer.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll need to do a little hunting to find the next stop, as\u00a0Streetcar Brewing<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is located in an alley just off of Lonsdale Avenue. Bonus tip \u2013 if you make it to Streetcar, be sure to check next door to see if\u00a0Cream Pony<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0is still open. There you can grab delicious fried chicken and doughnuts \u2013 that\u2019s basically all they do, and they do it really well \u2013 and bring it over to Streetcar to enjoy with a tasty beverage.<\/p>\n

The patio is the perfect place for people watching, as the SeaBus onloads a fresh batch of faces every few minutes. The Big Sexy Funk IPA is a favourite, and not just because it\u2019s fun to tell your server \u201cI\u2019ll have a Big Sexy.\u201d<\/p>\n
