Maybe you’ve heard about the Vancouver Canucks‘ improbable 2023/24 hockey season so far, as they sit atop the Pacific Division and Western Conference and second overall in the entire NHL, on pace for their second-best-ever finish. Before they head into the Stanley Cup playoffs with home-ice advantage in April, catch a game at Rogers Arena and be a part of their dream regular season before it ends.

Hit up a combination of 33 Acres, Brassneck, Main Street Brewing, R&B Brewing, Faculty, Brewhall, Red Truck, and Steamworks, all within a few blocks from one another on or near Main, not far from Rogers Arena.
