Vancouver has some pretty stellar views and Lift Bar & Grill is no exception. Sitting over the water in Coal Harbour, looking out at Stanley Park and the marina with a glass of wine in hand is sure to satisfy.
The best thing to do is to visit at happy hour when everything is cheaper and options are plentiful. Happy hour is a great way to share a bunch of small dishes with friends and get to try a variety of things. My go-to order is the vegetable sushi roll with a nice cold glass of rosé wine.
If you’re visiting for happy hour, the upstairs patio will be inaccessible to you, but you’ll be able to enjoy views just as nice if you ask to be seated by a window facing the water. After you finish eating, take a walk along the sea wall for more great views and a straight path into Stanley Park.
