The Cambie

Thick with ESL accents, dusty hardhats and the odd hipster, this classic pub adjacent to a budget hostel is a haven for travelers, afternoon drinkers and old-school ne'er do wells in search of some of the cheapest drinks in town. After the booming jukebox and the welcome slice of sunshine on the patio, the $5 burger-and-beer is as popular as the restrooms are infamously untidy. Gritty, sporty and loud, the crowd is young, brash and unflinchingly blue-collar.
