More infoMoodswing took over the long running Old Crow space at 655 Front Street and kept the good bones: mismatched chairs, a second hand bookshelf you are allowed to browse, art on every wall, and the strange half light of being tucked under the old parkade. Before mid afternoon it is a proper coffee bar. From Thursday it turns into a low lit cocktail room with DJs, live sets and a drinks list organised by star sign, which is either your kind of nonsense or exactly the icebreaker you needed. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
Check the day before you go, because this room keeps two personalities and is dark on Monday and Tuesday: coffee and pastries until mid afternoon, then a full cocktail bar from Thursday through Saturday. Order off the zodiac list if you want the fun version, or ask what is on the espresso machine if you want the quiet one. Seating is a jumble of second hand chairs and there is a vintage bookshelf to browse, so pick a corner rather than the counter. It sits on Front Street two minutes from New Westminster station, with the Pier Park boardwalk right below it.
