The date

The Bard and Banker lives inside the old Bank of British Columbia, a room of soaring ceilings, chandeliers and polished brass that has known it was beautiful for a long time. Then you notice the 30 taps, a serious whisky list, and live music every night with no cover. Find a corner, let a local act do the heavy lifting, and measure time in 'one more song' until 1am.

How to do it

Step into the old Bank of British Columbia, chandeliers, soaring ceilings, polished brass, and find a corner while a local act handles the soundtrack, free every single night. Work the 30 taps or pick something off the mile-long whisky list. It's open till 1am, so 'one more song' actually means something; give it a couple of hours and let the grand room make staying out feel like the obvious move, not the risk.
