Drinks & Nightlife
It's the best one on the coast! They usually have music on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. They also have a pizza which is great - but do check into this, as this may be changing in the future. On the weekends they have been hosting a small farmers market, but check before to see if it is on Saturday or Sunday. It's the best setting for a brewery I've ever seen.

Our favorite beer on the coast, hands down. Has one of the best patios for a brewery in BC - FOR SURE. It's delicious, does have one cider and one type of wine if you are a non-beer drinker and is ultra local (owned by three people on the coast!). They also have many events like Trivia Nights, movie nights etc. Best to check out their facebook page to be up to date! They are also going to have food soon!

It's local! Lots of yummy food including some great take-away snacks (cheese and fish is a takeout snack right??), with a great cafe up top. Our favorite store is Good Acre, which is a zero waste store with fresh produce! Also - coffee.

Local foods done right. A bit fancy, but not so fancy that you can't wear jeans. Go early so you can get a spot on the patio.

THE BEST CROISSANTS ON THE COAST. Super flaky - don't attempt to eat these without a plate or a giant napkin. A bit pricey, but absolutely worth it. Days they are open can be a bit strange, so make sure they are open before you go. Go as early in the day as possible for the best selection.

It's a choose your own adventure hike. You can make it as little or as long as you would like. It feels like every 5 minutes your given the decision to "go further or turn back". Amazing old trees.

Amazing hike right in Gibsons! The trailhead is located at Sprockids park and the trail is very well marked. Give yourself at least 7 hours return to finish the hike; more time might be needed if you plan to take a long break at the top. Ask us for more information or a map if you'd like to attempt the 4000 ft ascent !
