Vancouver nearly let this one slip away, which would have been a tragedy because the Hollywood is exactly the kind of cinema a rainy city deserves. Lovingly restored and reopened on West Broadway, it is a proper 1935 Art Deco venue: the marquee, the curved balcony, the warm Deco glow that makes you look better than you probably do. Programming swings between film nights, live music, and comedy, all with a bar to match, so the vibe changes depending on the night but the room is always worth showing up for. Check the events calendar before you go, as hours run with the programming. Then settle in, order something from the bar, and let the rain rinse 4th Avenue while you sit in Kitsilano's prettiest old room and remember why you live here.
