2. Storm Crow

Located on Commercial Drive, Storm Crow is a fantasy lover’s dream bar. It features plenty of games, memorabilia, and even science fiction readings from up and coming authors.

So now that the ladder of chaos that is Game of Thrones is over, we would like to mention our very special guests from @dirkgentlybbc who are filming season 2 in Vancouver including @uptomyknees1985, @Osricchau and some other guy! They were kind enough to take picture with us and sign a HUGE poster that will be put up in the Tavern asap! Just another reason to look forward to 2019!
