A 440-seat professional theatre on Granville Island where the recently redone lobby bar looks directly at False Creek.
Granville Island
More infoThe Arts Club's Granville Island Stage is 440 seats of professional theatre with barely a bad sightline, plus a recently spruced-up upper lobby bar that looks straight out at False Creek, a genuinely nice thing to have between you and curtain. The programming leans to crowd-pleasing comedies and the odd musical, a safe yes even for the reluctant. Browse the Public Market first, then let your phones vanish.
Get to this snug 440-seat house early enough to grab the upper lobby bar, where the drinks come with a False Creek view. There's barely a bad seat, so any ticket's a good one, and ask about rush rates if you're keeping it lean. Plan on about two and a half hours of phone-free, undistracted theatre, then walk it off along the Granville Island waterfront with a play to dissect.
