Vancouver: ANZA Social Club

The ANZA Club:  A most welcoming social club in the heart of Vancouver’s Mount Pleasant neighborhood.  Imagine having a membership to your own private dive bar – outstanding!  The lower level is cozy with low ceilings and has a basic bar with well priced beer available by pint or jug.  In addition, you have billiards, darts, board games, and a cozy fire place to gather around.   ANZA stands for Australia and New Zealand Association, and I say the people from down under have their priorities in order!  Isn’t that refreshing?  Yep!

We were there on a Monday night for the weekly bluegrass jam, and damn there is some quality strumming and singing going on here!  Let it be known throughout the land, Bluegrass is thriving in British Columbia!  Great collection of musicians and a laid back friendly vibe is what you’ll find here, and it goes on for hours.  Summary:  check out the ANZA, make friends, feel the vibe, and keep the party going!

Location:  3 West 8th Ave, Vancouver BC – CANADA
