"The Blind Sparrow Gastrotavern, West End Stanley Park by Amer Alkhatib. A new addition to the neighbourhood, the Blind Sparrow offers a bounty of rotating local beers, local (Okanagan) wines, and delicious gourmet bar snacks. There’s a good cocktail list too (try the Escobar) and weekend brunches. In better weather you can sit at the patio and do some quality people-watching, though the nicely lit room inside is a good option for that too."
