Another visit to the Hamilton Street Grill in Yaletown (1009 Hamilton Street, Vancouver, phone 604-331-1511) and I enjoyed their daily pasta special which was a macaroni with prosciutto, leeks, shallots, and lots of cheese (pictured below, $14). More photos: view Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

The Shark Club (180 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, phone 604-687-4275) is a popular sports bar and grill located in Vancouver’s downtown, very close to BC Place Stadium and GM Place, respective homes of the BC Lions Football team and the Vancouver Canucks hockey team. This spacious hangout gets busy during and after sporting events, which you can watch on the many TV’s while listening to a DJ spinning some funky beats. They also have a fairly well rounded food menu which is available at lunch as well. Below is pictured my seafood linguini ($13.99) which was quite tasty.

Dix BBQ and Brewery (web site, 871 Beatty Street, Vancouver, phone 604-682-2739) is a large restaurant/pub located very close to BC Place Stadium and GM Place Stadium in downtown Vancouver. The kitchen handled our group of 17 people flawlessly, and we were satisfied with our entrees such as Whole Chicken Breast ($12.95, pictured below) and their famous pulled pork sandwich. Their in-house brewed beers such as Red Truck Ale are some of the best in town.
