The Village
The Davie Village. Located just blocks to English Bay, Stanley Park, Denman Street Granville Street, and Robson Street. Granville Street is known as the entertainment district home to over 20 bars and night clubs in a five block stretch, while Robson street is the shopping district home to all the name brand stores and touted as the most expensive street for leasing in Canada. English Bay, Stanley Park and Denman Street is Vancouver?s playground, the beaches and festivals attract millions of tourists every year.
The Davie Village stretches 4 blocks and is predominantly the gay area , a world of its own, attracting tourist from all over the world. With the streets lined with rainbow flags, a street party stretching its entire length in August, and Vancouver’s Pride Parade during the August long weekend, and a street party (Davie Days) in September, this makes the Davie Village a truly vibrant community. This combined with a grocery store (Super Value), a drug store (Shoppers Drug Mart), Money Mart, Macs, Hamburger Marys, Blenz, Denny’s, all open 24 hours a day, fed by a population in the surrounding area that is as dense as Manhattan, the hustle & bustle in this 4 blocks never stops.
Shoppers Drug mart and across the street the 260 room Sandman Executive Suites Hotel. The Airporter bus and a line up of taxis parked across the street are convenient for everyone in the Davie Village. parking is available on the street and in the hotel. Moxies is always fun, right across the street, beside Priape our favorite leather store. 1 block east is the famous nightclub Numbers, this year having its 29th anniversary. The owner of this great dance pub has played a huge role in keeping our gay community alive and is to be commended for his efforts. The Fountainhead Pub and Celebrities Cabaret are across the street and next door to Numbers. Head north up Davie 1 block and there is Little Sisters Book Store a must see and Score a great sports bar as well as Hamburger Mary’s. Just down the street above Denny’s is The Oasis Lounge, it has a great covered heated patio fabulous food and live entertainment most every night, personally I love their patio and martinis. Just out of the Village 3 blocks is the Odessey Dance Club with drag shows and events nightly this is allways a fun place to party….make sure you check out Shower Power, or feather Boa.. , For the leather Crowd there a bi-monthly night (every other Saturday) at Pumpjacks and a monthly night at Numbers (the 3rd Friday of every month) hosted by VML. Pumpjacks is considered our best nieghborhod pub, Friday afternoon is very cool to hang there because all the locals start the weekend off after work, always a line-up on Sunday at 3pm to avoid the line go a bit earlier. Recently Pumpjack has turned the old smoke-room into a dark room so its very edgy at night….oink oink 1181 is a funky drinking lounge with great dj’s and martinis, and Pulse is a great dance bar. F212 is our local mens steam baths and M2m is more a baths for the leather crowd just blocks away on Granville. There are a few straight bars as well, Speakeasy and the Jupiter Lounge.
Dance all night at our after hours bar The World - Saturdays are always Gay night and its a blast dance until 8am. Gorgamesh is also very good and on long weekends Sunday night s is considered gay and its always fun.
Tutti’s is the place for the best deals on smokes. Stephos is the best deals for Greek Food, and Vera’s has the best Burgers.
In the Davie Village area it is very gay friendly and you are able to hold hands and show affection freely although in the world we live in be careful late at night.
In Vancouver the gay scene although clicky its very friendly…the fun is in the chase but no one gets offended if you are a bit aggressive, just don’t be stupid and annoying. A few rules to remember are:
1) anything after stop is abuse
2) No means I’m not interested
3) I play safe means you need to respect that.
